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'.

真是无趣又乏味的电影 浪费时间 非要找优点的话 达科塔约翰逊有熟女的味道了
又可以是世界上最善良的人又可以有点儿烦人，真的好讨喜的角色，非常轻松舒服的小片，适合结束疲惫的一天…短暂的相遇相知相爱，又各自回到适合自己的轨道中寻找自己人生的意义，真的是恰恰丝滑～导演好招人稀罕，第一次get到达科塔约翰逊的漂亮，她说话真的好温柔哦
严重怀疑导演完全就是为了泡dakoda才拍的电影，不知道是不是我有点偏激了，但是越来越觉得这种电影就纯纯的“自慰”片。
于是，故事的全部内容，就是“帮他实现，然后你自己也实现”（给弟弟出谋划策追女友）、“帮她强大，然后你自己也强大”（走入自闭症女孩的内心）、“帮他们和解，然后你自己也和解”（抑郁过的母亲和古板的难于亲近的继父）、“帮她放下，然后你自己也放下”（在爱情里已经伤痕累累、却还能与你来上一段情感纠葛的单亲妈妈）。
真的很喜欢达妹 温柔优雅性感 男主很可爱 门廊的谈话让人很共情 可是我没有达妹那样的心胸
"memories aren't going anywhere", 歌好听
1，You only have you.你知道什么是爱吗，知道什么是自己想要的吗？22岁的年纪，他坚定地说他知道，她难过地说你要接着探寻。一生并不是只有一个灵魂伴侣，也不是只爱一个人，爱上一个人对我来说不算太难的事，但是坚定的爱着一个人对我来说很难，因为坚定爱着另一个人的基础，是你知道自己爱什么、想要什么、需要什么、害怕什么。在爱别人的过程中别忘了回望自己，关注自己的内心，好好爱自己。2，家人的支持，是建立在尊重的基础上的，不断表达对家人的支持，是“我想你做你想做的事，我为你的坚持、突破而骄傲”，是“即使你没有做到也没有关系”，是我虽然今天过得很开心，但因为你要离开我而感到有点难过，是我会在饭桌上写作业，给你自己的空间。3，充分的空间，充分的理解，充分的努力，构成了一部丝滑的电影。
一个非常有共情能力的小青年，善良并且坚韧。
不同的年纪可能会爱上不同的人，但与对的人在一起需要运气也需要智慧。
dakota在這裡面好迷人啊，講話聲音有點性感。在末尾講很年輕生了孩子，生活就被裹挾了，後來遇到男人，也是在被裹挾。難過 @2022-06-20 05:36:58
还不错，男主好勇敢，就算只是一段crush，还是很好地kick off并得到了深思熟虑后的回应，有始有终才是最美好的结局，也向身边的人坦诚自己的内心吧
也许他们真的爱过彼此，但是现实面前不堪一击，这就是青春的代价，也是成长的经历
You will always be a part of my life.
其实我觉得导演大可不必亲自上阵自导自演，不适合，真的不适合。
你们真的错怪男主角了，虽然他看起来长得有点着急（非贬义），但人家是如假包换的97年生人，演个毕业大学生没啥问题吧，而且多可爱啊。整个片子很温柔很舒服，爱而不得的惆怅，对于这个阶段的年轻人，也是成长必经的阵痛了。Love heals, and love hurts too.有时候人们过于看重一段感情里的那个可能性，却往往忽视了这背后的必然性。但不管怎样，those memories exist.另外，我好像还是头一次get到了达妹的美。不过这片子的剪辑有点紧，不知道是不是跟舞蹈这个元素有关系，感觉跟其他同题材的片子还挺不一样的。
每次都只差一步，也多亏这差一步，处处透着温情。
感觉是导演的半自传，有点自恋但还算可爱，达美太美了~歌曲太赞了~
味道对，拧巴的也对，那句我需要在成人世界卡位也很有诚意，可就是不舒服，不推荐观看，不推荐类似的事情发生
“Sorry I’m close to you.You looked like you were gonna fall over.”
DJ好像全程在flirting，she so hot
