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'.

好的电影给人的感觉就是演员不像是演，更像是做自己，眼神里没有闪烁，所见即真实，这之中有记录片的功劳，抛出问题，录下孩子们的回答，看法和感想交给观者。尽管我们想方设法从孩子的角度看待问题，思考教育和社会，但访谈中还是觉察到孩子对大人自以为是的不满和他们身为独立个体所拥有的自我认知判断，才发现相互理解很难，差异堵点一直都在，但是影片又以叔侄之间的相处，互动沟通，情感表达，诠释亲密关系建立，打破原本的隔阂，怀抱更好的将来。辗转的城市记忆，奇妙的自然物语，悬停温柔善良的对待，置换歉意和无奈，结尾解压的呐喊，唤来成长的春季。
3.5。A24的品味真好，褪色的纽约与洛杉矶是如此的“冷漠”，而以舅舅这个角色进入到一个破碎的家庭里变成了“褪色”教育里的父亲、朋友。如访谈节目一样给观众们上一课，效果不是很佳.....
推荐！这样选剧本才是真演员！而不是纠结自己年龄大了能不能演主角或者天天搞综艺！奥斯卡影帝，华金。本来是帮姐姐带孩子。结果孩子成为自己的救赎。孩子关于未来的想象，精神疾病的父亲和搞亲子教育研究的母亲，却和从不表达自己感受的叔叔成为了最好的朋友。因为孩子很真诚。孩子不想回家。因为爸妈都不太开心。叔叔一个人，但是很开心。两人很像。孩子什么都不说其实，叔叔也不说。但是他们在一起就相互说了。You can be not fine。Yell….you are not fine。I am not fine…it is totally reasonable responds。This is fucked up and that makes sense孩子的妈妈写作很多，教人怎么跟孩子沟通。其实自己跟孩子沟通的还是不合适，让孩子一直很压抑。很失败。只有真诚Faint.孩子恐惧自己长大成为自己父亲的样子。但因妈妈教育孩子express所以better
很温馨很沉闷的片子，采集到的声音真好听啊，但是滤波得到的信号就是真实的吗？
生活中情绪的高潮与失落交替出现，不仅会使自己困惑不已，也会潜移默化的影响他人，以沟通交流的方式化解问题，释放彼此之间的焦虑与不安，拥抱美丽世界，华金的表演不露痕迹基本无解，配乐的节奏始终舒缓流淌，与影片的主题相得益彰。
《如果<这个杀手不太冷>里的杀手是个访谈者会怎样》讲的是记述的价值，能看出视听想要营造出一个沉思的感觉，用孩子的叙述来自我安慰自我解脱真是成人世界的惯用技法，当然我们可以用畅想来解放自我，但是用精心写好的只是借孩童之口说出的台词就只是空中楼阁，现实多的是无法挣脱的“在你面前”，影片呈现的成长和解只不过是套着思维公式的自我解释和循环论证
好莱坞真的太喜欢让一个中年男人配一个小孩的题材，成功人士配一个小孩可以让他发现生活除了事业和金钱之外还有友情与亲情更重要。不那么成功的人士配一个小孩可以让他发现，生活很美好，心态积极就能收获美好未来。配一个小孩怎么就能改变这么多呢？这已经是好莱坞白人的固定思维，这个因果关系怎么发生已经被跳过，不用被证实，被当成定律，观众只需要知道给中年男人配一个小孩，就是能影响他的人生。另外，本片黑白色调的意义在哪里呢？
A zone of resiliency. It’s ok to not be fine. Laugh or cry, there will be someone who wants to try to have the appropriate reaction.
是在我看来 今年年度最佳 也是将来我会一直记住的电影之一 it’s okay when you are not fine and it’s okay to learn all that from kids as they know so much more than us
“Let me ask you a question. Why does everything have to be like this kind of weird, eccentric thing that you do” “cause I like it” “but why not just do something normal” “what’s normal” “ok, fine, good point.” 这段对白简直就是A24风格的最好诠释，又怪又吸引人。
华金·菲尼克斯和电影的气质太贴切了，每一句台词、每一个表情都十分有味道，令人沉思、深思和反思。四星。
不知道某国多少年能拍出这种有细腻感情的片来
华金的角色不应由华金来演...男孩是亮点，有得奖潜力，但整体节奏差了那么几个半拍，台词亮点稀少，代入感较差，撑了将近一个小时，三星
就是这样子吧，其实大家都不知道该怎么样和小朋友相处。如果只是当朋友，那很简单；但如果，生活在一起，需要教导他，而又被各种工作、事物缠身的时候，就会难免有情绪爆发的时候，甚至是经常，所以这很糟糕。当然，还是应该去跟小朋友沟通吧，去了解他的感受。
所见越多真实，自身的存在便越真实。我们畅谈未来，喜欢记录的动作，享受开阔的感觉。走进新的世界，我们会准备好的。有共同联想的期待，我们会一起收获新的世界的感受。
甜品电影，黑白影像舒适淡雅，叔侄对话也颇为有趣，只是除了这些，我未能体会到更深层的的东西。
特别适合为人父母or老师的人看。孩子的世界，是一个另外的世界，可惜我们长大以后就忘记了……
一个孤独的人突然有所爱，有责任所在，是多么美好。一同成长。在新的关系中，释怀过去。
真的是很很很细腻的感情 菲尼克斯年轻时候有颜 上了年纪眉眼也是禁得起细看的 7032
非常自由且真诚的叙事，一切都建立在人与人之间朴素的连结之上。安魂曲用的很妙。看得想我的外甥
