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'.

21_144。谁想到，丽党香党，谁想到啊。但无论如何，也是一个很好的完结。再怎么样，你也该成长了。
本来以为明日香和眼镜娘在搞拉，结果一个和剑介，一个和真嗣在一起了…我傻掉；司令原来是因为自己不爱social才搞这么大事情的…简直非常能共情了（狗头）
最难过莫过于，别人提醒你，她为你付出了性命，记得救下她的灵魂。你一开口却是另一个人的名字：绫波。结果你的结局里还是没有她。选了个胸大的……
满 足 (不涉及剧透)
那个十几年来令人受够了的逃避君终于贡献出了他成熟的一面。
10 什么评价都写不出来了。直击心灵的完美结局。
与其说是把故事讲完，对庵野秀明来说更重要的一个是用动画来表现一个完整的EVA世界吧。作为一个“路人”，觉得整个系列大致跟“黑客帝国”差不多，比复联那些强。
“我会想念从前的你的 不过这样也好” // 20210822 谢谢你看到我
已经是二零二一年的八月了。
昨夜残阳犹醉，明日黄花挽香。凌波丽好，渚江水存鸯。映得晚风游人困，薰及臻兮处处波。庵野寺好，暮回临都乡。再见所有的eva
EVA给世界戏剧史留下了一个极度自我矛盾的男主角形象，把创世与灭世同时间交到其手，悲剧感被拉到满格。另外，日本的动画片之所以好看，其始终没有脱离“人为何物”的概念，人始终是想象力的边界，且把越细看越恐怖的心理表征放大，其宏伟的艺术感来源于人的血肉，是寻常惊怖了我们。
真嗣你终于长大啦，真好~
好像结束了一场长达数年的暗恋，或者参加了一个热闹的毕业典礼，无论其中多少欢欣和酸楚涌至嘴边，只能说谢谢。
这样一部作品作为系列的终点，真的是太完美了。
只能说基调真的超级天真温情，把所有角色和人伦都拆解了个明白且平易。看见曾经那么幽微逼仄矛盾晦涩地像一条永无止尽的黑暗甬道的青春有一天也可以这样倏忽到达另一个平台，很难说是什么心情。
看到剧终的时候真的很不舍，这个结局很棒，感谢庵野秀明
永别了，所有的福音战士
这结局真的烂到不行。以前虽然谜语人，但非常讲逻辑。现在逻辑都不要了，你仿佛能听到导演在说“累了累了，不玩了，赶紧结束”然后拽着观众撒腿就跑。以前是故事里穿插谜语人设定，这部后一小时是疯狂抛谜语人设定再穿插点故事，叙事断崖式坍塌，整个一莫名其妙。穿插旧剧场版的画面来回忆，但还是掩盖不住故事的稀碎。
在One last kiss响起时的落泪就是EVA最好的结束
对大胸好女人很不公平，为了跟TV区分强加进来，喜欢不起来
