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'.

旁白娓娓道来理查德·林克莱特的美妙台词，像一部精彩的童年回忆录，我被深深迷住了
灼热的阳光，都照不出地狱的黑暗，惨白的白昼，却如同在阴间，草地上随风曳动的小花，见过鲜血淋漓的人间
跨越国家和年代都能找到共鸣的童年回忆录，里面讲述的事情小时候大多也体验过，怀旧题材很难不喜欢
看不到新的爱在，只能看下这部将就一下，反正另一部剧上也能看到伊桑霍克。林克莱特的六十年代怀旧片，用这样专绘技术呈现出来观感上倒是蛮新奇的，代入感蛮强的。整体完成度挺高的就是真正的太空部分短了点，childhood部分跟Boyhood比还是差了点，但不影响我喜欢这部，私心给五星
林克莱特最后那一组平行剪辑，将登月事件和自己当下的半梦半醒串联起来，恍惚间参与了登月事件。站在当下回望过去，每个人确都有这样的时光。
抛开政治因素，导演的主观意识形态不谈，虽然剪接不是很好但拍的依然不错，起码拍的比咱们好
回故美国60年代有关太空和流行文化的生活记录。
呼号班德拉的逆向版本。评分只涉及活的质量，不涉及价值判断。
还不错的战争片，正好蹭上俄乌战争的热度。抛开政治不谈，这片血肉横飞看着挺真实。前一秒还在压马路，后一秒就被炸飞。开头一帮抢民宅杀人的不清楚什么人，没有交代。几段攻防小战斗还挺精彩。
基本上和国产电影是一个水准，中俄的相似性令人汗颜
Sci-fi元素说实话并不多，也并不是一个太空科普片。前半部分描述60s美国家庭的故事还可以，但呈现故事中心思想的效果一般，大体就是日常和男孩的航天梦，把它定位为加入一些Sci-fi元素的怀旧日常片，或许更为合适。另一方面，当时平民存在不想浪费钱在太空事业的思想，然而这么多年过去，即便人们再无登月，饥荒遏制了吗？钱财回到平民手上了吗？
冷战那会儿有人飞到月球上拍一张地球的照片 那时的小朋友有些长大后做一部动画拍一段memoir 童年回忆是成年人登不上的月球 危机与浪漫共生
以動畫的方式呈現真的很能打 同時剛好本人對美國60-70-80-90年代都特別有感 很喜歡那是的lifestyle 再加上太空的議題 真的很不錯

不太有这种情怀，所以对这个电影的触动不太大
“改编不是乱编，戏说不是胡说”(认真脸)
1969年美国休斯顿的儿童回忆录，穿插着主角对自己登月的幻想，越看越能产生共鸣，每个小男子汉在儿时都有一个“英雄梦”，看来儿时的快乐大家都是大同小异，不分国界。90后的我如果把儿时的回忆展现出来，也是相当具有特色的……
好多没有意义的战争，受伤的只是百姓。和平多好啊
家庭片段很有1988的感觉～～欢笑打闹街区感都很美好。
沙发上，当看电视的妈妈离座后，弟弟飞快的去抢那个位置，而老姐早已捷足先登，弟弟又沮丧的回到自己的位置😂
