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'.

岁月在每个人的脸庞和两鬓都留下了痕迹，无论是剧中人亦或是看剧的人。从头至尾，眼眶随着插曲的起伏而湿润，甚至有几处观看视线无法对焦的泪眼朦胧。对岁月人生的感慨，对人物情感的感触，对唐顿庄园里人们的那份优雅感动。
从一场婚礼开始 到一场葬礼结束🥺我永远都爱的系列❤️
质量依然不错 马修像童话里的王子一样 算是呼应美女与野兽？
这个剧组已经纯熟到拍读电话本都好看的地步了，每个人都有好归宿，但日常的摩擦又不会让剧情显得枯燥，一如既往的精致优雅，春去秋来，辞旧迎新，人来人往，温暖而祥和。
也没看出来那点像是A New Era了，故事拍得相当乏味。不过这倒是提醒我去重看一遍『霍华德庄园』。
好肉，煮烂了。
不要忘了你是谁，从哪里来，也不要被此所束缚
人事来来往往，唐顿庄园依然屹立在那里。一个时代就这样落幕了。
天时地利人和八卦

就是把几集剧集的内容拼在一起，重看发现根本看不下去，太难看了。
情怀分很满，老太太永远是最喜欢的角色啊~小茶杯太帅了啊啊啊~拍电影还是很棒的，仆人们一起当群众演员好有爱（还记得他们以前采访的时候就说过自己也想化浓妆穿fancy的衣服，这就实现了~）唯一不能接受的就是家里这么大事儿家里大女婿都不带回来一趟的？？？
我以为不会有了，但是Carson回归让我觉得第三部有戏
好肉，煮烂了。
终于在英国当了新唐顿屯的第一波观众！！（周围观影的全是白发苍苍的老头老太）可以说依然是回馈剧粉的“福利型电影”，有笑有泪的“合家欢”。剧情本身不值五星，但情怀值得十星。
三人小队首聚，猪柱真是个有趣的家伙。
在万达影院和我姐用两张票的价格包场了嘿嘿！！以及，好美的唐顿，好美的结局🤧🤧ps:应该没有下一场了吧
感谢动画组百忙之中抽空把剧集剪辑出来敷衍我们....就当重温了。
在最难的一段时间里曾经充当过我的精神支柱，做梦素材，和一点点希望的影子。今天下班以后一路跑到电影院，错过了前十五分钟。剧情很平淡，就是用两个小时交代了每个人物的结局，不过有主题曲就够了。PS司机真是全剧唯一一个令我讨厌的角色
最后炭治郎在沉浸之中获得成长，用大招破解一切，也制作的非常出色，如果想要重温剧情，又觉得分集看比较麻烦，还是可以一看本片的。
