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'.

当然，我尽可不感伤，毕竟那离我太远太远，我还远未到不喜欢华服美食的地步。
导演构想了一个脆弱的濒临破碎的黛安娜。打四星是因为我也希望黛安娜能那样自由地活下去
好一部无病呻吟，本来想说小K出息了，看来真是为他量身定制的。矫情妹子当了王妃了更会作妖
故事应该叫做 让王妃穿好衣服按时吃饭有多难
本片就像导演帕布罗·拉雷恩的前作第一夫人 Jackie (2016)一样，清冷的色调下是情绪的游走，大特写，乱音乐，意识流，新散文，像恐怖片的神经质节奏，提醒她再不离开安妮博林就是她的下场。
这次KS演戴安娜王妃还算可以。导演建立了冷色调之下令人窒息的独角戏序列，KS本来是面容和体态太过独特的演员，比起过去娜奥米沃兹演的同一个角色，娜奥米版的戴安娜是明媚且充盈的爱还栖于体内，而KS更多的是紧紧拽着阴郁从头到脚，尽管有所模仿的痕迹体现面目表情的复刻上（其实是想象中的故事，不是真正传记片没必要那么做的），不过她还是设法让自己隐没，努力展现了戴安娜如何趟过空虚和苍凉，一个慢慢枯淡的灵魂以承受痛苦献祭。诱导性质的安妮博林幻影牵引脆弱易碎的精神节奏，随后，意外出现的百合线，让里面的戴安娜shocked，也让我shock，但都是戴安娜的故事创造「A fable from a true tragedy」雾幕浮出皎洁月光，照亮了没有将来时态的废弃庄园，黑漆漆的走廊，阴森森的地面。
5.至始至终令人压抑的氛围，没有正负正负，而是负负负负
虽然很多场景是 intentionally annoying and creeps you out 但是真的看起来如坐针毡太难受了，in a bad way. Sally Hawkins 一出场 I knew it! 加一星给小 K 的颜 and 颜 only.
艺术性炸裂，在《王冠》两季间走钢索，吃珍珠、黑白斯诺克、射鸡野马和线索稻草人，《黑天鹅》般忧美精悚，《鸟人》爵士怎能融进钢琴练习曲。而艺毕，模式化戴安娜还是那套，可怜之人，下半生荣华富贵便宜点？要钱没有要命一条
前面的节奏和情绪不是太好，后面收的又有点突然…
为大银幕而生，年度最唯美的传记片亦不为过。碎落一地的珍珠项链，荒野上孤独的稻草人，自残与被迫遮蔽的窗帘，腐国皇室枪口下苟且偷生的雉鸡，被礼法禁锢的自由灵魂……第一部从lesbian角度以管窥豹，跟从戴妃步入她苦不堪言无比绝望的精神密室，“不在沉默中爆发就在沉默中灭亡”，压抑到极点的基调却糅杂着创作者无限的理解与共情——别看她通身珠光宝气地位显赫，究其一生最想要的也不过是平凡人的普通生活，结尾那首欢快之歌，歌词唱着“All I need is miracle”当她面对镜头报出“Spencer”而不是“Diana”那一刻，分明是困顿灵魂在呐喊与复苏吧？小K演技全面爆发，神还原了戴妃反叛与忧郁并存的精神气质，即使今年Oscar无法帮她封后，她也已经用绝对实力狠狠反击了那些轻视称她为“花瓶”的人。
好一部无病呻吟，本来想说小K出息了，看来真是为他量身定制的。矫情妹子当了王妃了更会作妖
拍得很复古，构图和色调都很讲究，服装道具也很还原，很多别具匠心的镜头颇有解读的意味，可惜对于情感背后的人物动因的把握并不算非常到位，整体只能称得上精巧别致有余，而深层探讨不足。Kristen Stewart的表演只能说是不出戏吧，只可远观，却不可近“玩”，其中的几个镜头是美的，整体的感受也是美的，甚至带着点痛感，但除此之外，就没有更多的审美体验了。
嗓音很奇怪，像是在拍惊悚片。个人感觉配乐有点抢戏。小k、queen，整个王室都没有贵族的气质。
大概是需要一些情感基础的吧，以至于我看得无法产生共情，只有些许的恐慌。
这不是我心中黛安娜王妃的形象！小k那便秘式演技，哎，一言难尽。三星致敬黛安娜王妃。
女主的侧脸真是太美了，太精致了！
主妇惊悚，走向不是绝望而是自由。Maggie这条线拍得太烧女了，从中景切到特写就表露了太多。
可以说是小k的独角戏，演技跃升到新高度，此片批判皇室婚姻对无辜少女的迫害比任何同类型作品都要狠，通过沉浸式的表达，追忆童年，类比断头皇后，把戴安娜完全塑造成了一个可怜的并对未来即将到来的厄运浑然不知的可怜无助的女人，不过前提是多少了解这场皇室婚姻的背景，戴安娜就像献祭给皇室的新娘，看着她一点点枯萎并走向最终的死亡，你会恨透了英国皇室的冷漠虚伪。
