Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

导演写给1970年代的情书，只不过写的烂了点；男主如果能更好看、或者至少看上去更灵光点就好了。
剧情线索环环嵌套，G5更像是对Brony群体的复写啊，篝火那段确实挺感动的。话说这次G5剧情真的很G3，我记得几年之前也有过“G4是G3很久之前”的猜测……
看起来很随意的样子，反派无脑低幼，只能说是个半成品吧。
以后不感兴趣的电影还是不要看了，70年代真的挺无聊的，剧情，人物，感情，都很无聊
疯批的爱情故事，70年代的洛杉矶和摇滚乐充满了复古的味道，Cooper那段笑的肚子疼。
多一星给下坡倒车，电影没有海报好看，主演一行的演技好像入不了导演的眼，所以导演拼命给配角老戏骨特写镜头，好怪好突兀
镜头很流畅，我却没能一口气看完。现实中，30岁的我差点和15岁的高中生做朋友。
好像是两个人对世界一无所知充满想象，在各个行业探险，于是幻想一次次破灭，在奔跑和拥抱中才渐渐确认彼此是真爱。只是后半部有些松散
一开始想说除了女主腿其他都不行，没想到从一半往后越来越上头，舒缓的准确的刻画了一个年代，很重的道理浅浅的表达。
两个生理年龄错位但是心理同龄的灵魂。Quirky, eccentric, sometimes distracted and sometimes defensive，这居然是对爱的描述，可以说很PTA了。总体我还是更喜欢私恋失调，但这片选人太绝了，男生如父如子，女生魅力十足。btw短评里说男性凝视还有种族歧视的朋友们，为什么要看电影，艺术高攀不起你
如果我说没看懂剧情会显得我很笨蛋么….每次感觉自己懂了，时间线好像又飘走了。但镜头语言很出彩，画面调色很对我胃口，如不考虑剧情的合理性是非常值得一看的。
怪怪的，每次凝视女主的脸，我都感受不到青春
电影想把人们带回那个还没有被电子设备覆盖的时代，那时候人们还有丰沛的情感。
pta还是有两把刷子。一开始觉得不是吧这也太闷了比它想致敬的《美国风情画》差多了。然而不知道哪个节点就莫名看进去了，没有一个具体的轰鸣标记心动点但就是这么滑进去了。虽然没有一直维持下去后面还是滑出来，但真的很奇妙，得想想怎么说。男女主都有一种欠扁的可爱。虽然视角直男但把和小十岁的未成年搞暧昧的女孩视角拍得很好。最后，Asian jokes在电影里表现那个时代的样子不是问题，现场有白人观众笑出来了才是最大的问题（u got zero licence to laugh at this fuck u all ）
how life sucks and shines，一点点的共同回忆，无意义的小确幸（甚至可能不是愉悦的事），堆叠起来也许就是甜甜的 开篇长镜头太赞，想起《大玩家》，或许是一脉相承 他和她都看见了对方头上的bling bling吧，真好
新世代=没有小马宝莉的小马宝莉… 质感相当美国（美式校园青春片），内容高度政治化，2.5d动物拟人化百试不爽（汪汪队/海底小纵队……），难怪中国小朋友们也如此爱看
大师级的拍摄水准，所有的运镜都流畅成熟。如果说故事本身的话，完全就展现了一个toxic relationship。男主身上全是直男的自信自负和不负责任，虽然有着一定的商业头脑，但他就是个没有长成的小男孩，身体和心理上的双重不成熟。女主又是标准的眼高手低，她能解决一些男主的危机但是离开男主跨入真正的成年人的世界后她也过得一塌糊涂。这两个人分分合合到最后应该也还是一种自相残杀吧。
谢谢不散观影。这是理想主义和友谊万岁的胜利！小朋友们明显都最喜欢活泼乐天的小艺！
在这层糖纸包裹下
在嘈杂的70年代，灵魂是易碎品，远方篝火燃烧，人群沸腾，角落里两个青年相互拥抱，仿佛看不见明天。
