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'.

艺术世家的插画大师韦恩，不擅理财，不擅俗世事务，兴趣极其广泛，活得天真自然激情勇敢羞怯深情。今年难得的好片。
天才都是孤独的，路易斯·韦恩是天才吗？他对各种事物充满了兴趣，绘画也是一绝。但都比不上，他能将猫咪和各种现实角色联系起来，刻画的生动有趣，活灵活现，引人发笑。
本尼又一次演绎了天才疯子，画画是一种救赎与发泄。
卷褔无敌.
对比国内的命题作文“奇迹”明显更加高明不少，但是问题依旧明显，不过，看电影何必要带脑子呢，甜甜的，暖暖的就好了！
说真的，韩国人在拍情感篇上确实有有自己的浪漫。感情细腻。还带反转。果然还是看朴正民顺眼。林允儿也太好看了吧BTW！
画面美，但是真实情况是女主比男主大了10岁，片中说了但是完全看不出来，所以选角上不算非常合适。猫咪成为宠物在铲屎官家为非作歹为所欲为、或是成为视频网站或其他传播媒介上的明星原来不是自然而然的一件事。
整部電影真的是滿足粉絲的後續大禮包，不以粉絲角度來看的話，我是覺得後面節奏有一點拖，但以粉絲角度來看真是完美畢業大結局~而且赤楚和町田的表演詮釋一點都不尬，看BL電影最怕兩位主角尬演了XD
一个画猫艺术家的……electrical 人生。有很多绚烂的😺画，演员都很棒。挺喜欢Toby Jones这个演员的，印象最深的是他在达尔文传记片《造物弄人 Creation》(2009) 里饰演的托马斯·赫胥黎。
没什么主线剧情的，就是在撒糖，纯粉丝向，有爱请进场。
纯粹是因为猫加分，编剧和导演都一般，有几个镜头不错
人物塑造的不够立体，靠演员和舞美留住观众不退场
看完片子意犹未尽的又查了路易斯韦恩的生平，欣赏了他更多的作品。这是一个真正热爱猫的人，每一幅作品都充满了对猫的爱，即使是精神分裂，这份爱和激情依旧没有变。
复杂的永远是人,
说真的，韩国人在拍情感篇上确实有有自己的浪漫。感情细腻。还带反转。果然还是看朴正民顺眼。林允儿也太好看了吧BTW！
叫奇迹的电影有很多，好像每个国家都有一部叫奇迹的电影吧，其实也是符合当下的时代的，因为不管在那个国家那种文化的情况下都是会有平凡的人创造着自己的奇迹，一个失去母亲和姐姐的人，像是被命运诅咒了一样但依然通过自己不懈的努力，坚持的坚持完成了不可能的事情，也得到了亲情的大团圆，一个人，一个小小的车站，一个不放弃给总统写信的年轻人…还是挺感动的，可以给7分的一部电影！
真的一般，前面小情侣来来往往还有点意思，后面的硬煽情太套路了，纯粹在硬推。
前半段讲爱情，后半段讲画猫，剧情上是因果关系，然而最核心的情感还是路易斯的孤独，他说在越难过的时候画就越漂亮，电影里所呈现的人物的挣扎与画作的五彩斑斓形成强烈对比，卷福演这种还蛮得心应手的，就是剧本停留在表面的痛苦上了，原生家庭这里可以深度挖掘，与那短暂的婚姻相比，大叫爸爸妈妈的男孩才是恐惧精神来源。
电影的色调基本上和画家笔下的猫咪画一致，前期充满了温情梦幻的色彩，后期走向混乱，最后又归于平静。本尼太擅长表演这种神经质的、对现实适应无能的角色了，养猫人又有另一种共鸣。事件选取和表达手法其实挺不错的，作为一部人物传记片，很贴近画家的精神世界了。
看日本人谈恋爱确实是累，磕着磕着翻几个白眼的水平hhhhhh
