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'.

早安，晚安，谢谢，再见。
（没想到最后能在Amazon Prime上看到）被非典关在家里时打开老剧场版围观第三次冲击，被新冠关在家里时打开新剧场版围观第四次冲击。从中二看到中年，人类终于（又）补完了。美里负责指挥作战，玛丽和明日香负责输出扛怪，绫波负责种田插秧，中二男主负责他爹的思想工作...纠结好几天还是改成四星吧，毕竟对我来说没有特别的惊喜，怀念的也不知道是老剧场版还是那时年轻的自己
向不再少年的“少年们”献出的终曲，是经典再延续，是概念新突破，更是银幕内外世界的破壁融合。
如果是男孩，就叫真嗣 是女孩的话，就叫丽
作品很好，但因为CP组的太好了，一星好评必须给上!
在这个世界里，别人说什么你都信一切就会乱套
《EOE》虽然是TV版结局的重制，但那时庵野导演的心境发生了很大的变化。《EOE》是想否定世界，但没能完全否定。
虽然还是有很多不满意的地方。比如他老爸哪有这么多废话的？还能承认自己懦弱的？？不过动作制作方面，已经是无可挑剔啦。。。有始有终，非常棒啦~~
意料之中的有些细节没看懂但是此刻我啥也不想说只想打个五星平复一下情绪，9年了，大家努力活到EVA完结真的太不容易了！
前50分钟农家乐有点世外桃源的意思，后面的剧情就又回到中二日常，直到最后宇多田光的歌声响起，我又把结局拉回去再看了一遍，就这样吗？就这样。大家努力建立羁绊，努力解开心结，所有人都不再纠结，就好好活在一个没有EVA的世界里吧。然后，长大成人。
此刻的我正是最年轻的时候，我想活在当下，活得充实。
7.0 存在的思考有了活在当下的结局确实是一种和解与共融释放，虽说期待一种更为之绚丽的决绝，但真的不能破灭理想主义的望德！
这稀烂的剧情是个EVA迷我也不好意思打五星哈哈哈，就这样的东西值得拍四部等那么多年？？？电影语言上新作的表现是贫瘠的，剧情也不连贯，看的时候几次看不下去。人物之间的设定联系也非常浅，剧情的发展和人物行为简直莫名其妙。
大学时期Q上映。
只是看个爽绝对足够了，也别怪庵野秀明，如今不存在创作出真正好作品的土壤，只可惜没有早点结束这个系列，拧巴的价值观落脚点也算是创作者在这个烂透了时代的一种求仁得仁吧，这么想就挺好理解的。
虽然也有个别不EVA的谜之处理，但真没敢想过会这么满足，好像长久以来种种难以释怀也随之完结、补完了。这是你从未体验过的船新补完计划，如果说从破开始重新认识碇真嗣和绫波丽(零)，那么在终你会重新认识_____。甚至临终关怀一般地填了很多没人指望过的额外坑，一如既往真实可怕中带着极致的细腻。庵野虽然坏但是本质上还是用力传达着“世界能更好”的祈愿，最后一部看完心里属实很温暖(没想到吧) 。
明日香，绫波，美里，司令，大家都与过去的自己和解了。真嗣长大了。我也是。"永别了，所有的Evangelion。"
真嗣长大了，我们也终于长大了。真嗣终于站起来了，坦然面对一切，与一个个执著道别，完成了自己的终极补完计划。追了10年以上的又一系列完结，还是evangelion。 再见了，所有的eva。
没啥可评论的，看就是了。痞子给了观众一个交代，也给了自己一个交代，够了。庵野秀明监督，接下来请好好拍特摄片吧！
