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'.

两条故事线首次相交的镜头还挺有意思，剩下的滑板跑步镜头重复到让人怀疑摄影大哥是只会这一种technic吗
雷神，我来给你评分来了，很喜欢在B站看你视频
大本还是适合稍微壮一点的状态和样子，在这里过于瘦，甚至脱相了…出演这样的一部片子估计也是给乔治克鲁尼的人情吧。整体来说，隔靴搔痒，想有表达，可惜效果不佳。
《时空罪恶》 or 《致命ID》 or 《闪灵》？
很高兴提前观看了平行森林这部电影。电影的氛围设定的很好，那种森林有种诡异的色彩 很好的体现出作品悬疑的色彩。电影把平行空间的概念很好的体现了出来。演员演的很自然，感觉像真实发生的一样。 总之电影不错。
好无聊一片子，感觉不到主角的成长，对生活的刻画很潦草，连说教也没说出几个金句。
#22#12扔车钥匙那下太帅了吧…男人的默契，鼻子酸了。小鲜肉们一眼演技不行的问题好莱坞也一样，大本和一群酒吧大叔的演技看着太舒服了…歌很好听…至少两首大爱
全篇最大的彩蛋就在于全篇都是对叔叔的回忆录！
对于国产电影来说，做的太好了。小成本电影，拍摄的不错，氛围营造的也可以，演员演技在线，真的挺好。瑕疵就是剧本结束的太草率了，其实整片留下的疑点还是有点的，但是最后结束的有点意外，看似给了女主一个完美的结局，其实并不好，没有这个必要。如果剧情能再到位一点，再有更多的细节呼应，可以向神作靠齐了，可惜还是差点火候，值得鼓励！8.3分。
平淡的像水一样的故事，好舅舅的存在一般意味着有坏父亲
来看东出昌大跑步？节奏太慢了 近代的日本电影走下坡得厉害啊…….好俗套…
（题外话：奈绪真美）
5星全给奈绪，真像她，老婆感十足，演技也好，像梦中情人
滑板少年的支线很压抑。
抑郁症，回乡，跑步，滑板，遛狗，烟火，函馆。东出真的太适合这种丧颓又自私的角色，那些跑步的镜头也确实治愈，结局蛮耐人寻味的，你可以说他跑了出来也可以说他彻底崩坏。主线和年轻人那条线结合得有点突兀，但那两个拖树桩想要去卖钱的少年人，那个想要养狗的女孩，那个总穿运动服教英语的朋友，也蛮让人印象深刻的。最惊喜的是奈绪扮演的妻子角色，她在这段关系里不是只顾埋头奉献，而也有自己的索求，有主动去爱的能力有进退的勇气。摄影师把函馆拍得很美，也有可能函馆不管怎么拍都美。
一级棒！
我看懂了，又好像没看懂，很多电影的杂糅，估计是要再看两边才能捋顺深层逻辑，等我捋顺了再来吧
“我不希望自己的孩子成为和我一样的人，学习不好也没事，把理所当然的事当作快乐的事来对待，这样就够了。”
东出昌大的颜值还是扛打的！
小树你怎么和小师叔在一起了... （异物志粉）不过主题也挺简单的，小成本，本来有机会刻画的更深一些，黑暗森林法则，最后还是平淡了... 找了个家人不缺但是女主空缺的副本去了，话说本科和博士差别那么大吗... hhhhhh
