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'.

论职业操守和工作能力的重要性！话剧式电影，很有前瞻性，哀而不伤。

看完真是热泪盈眶🥹，女性对自我身体的贬低在今天也是处处可见，到处是营销白得发光，瘦得有直角肩A4背……仿佛身体就是女性的原罪，更别提身体带来的快乐，那更是羞耻堕落的代名词，更有甚者被贴上荡妇标签……2022年的今天结合四周正在发生的一切，女性到底是走向使女的故事，还是走向解放，真的一言难尽。
谁不想一直年轻，可年轻只是和童话一般的传听
安全词的重要性。
人是一种既有兽性又有理性的动物，兽性让我们拥有繁殖的欲望，性欲。理性让我们拥有心灵的诉求，追求身心的愉悦。
英国电影总有惊喜。
剧本、演员和调度好到，就算充满了标签化的表达，还是忍不住非常、非常的入戏！男主太迷人了！
男菩萨渡女苦主到达极乐彼岸的故事。这种唠闲嗑式电影会放大演技的瑕疵，如果表演不到位人物就立不住，故事里的张力和关系也都会不成立。但Emma Thompson 演得太好了！如果不是她，这个角色不会这么令人信服和共情。轻盈有趣，四星推荐。
Leo the sex worker claims he can put up a fantasy, and he delivered. But I think the screenwriter did a better job on that.
Wow，多么大胆、真诚而又温暖的电影！
最后两句台词扣分，回归了居高临下的审视角度。感想颇多的一部片。 1080P 22/06/24
首先我要说说我自己的个人“偏见”：因为自己很讨厌越界的人。所以Emma越界行为让我很不舒服，所以或多或少会影响第三幕主题升华时的情绪——因为这一幕在我看来根本就是强行堆砌的；其次再说回电影，这是一部女性导演试图探讨女性的电影，由于主题太过明显了，所以前面在“男性在拯救女性”的段落之后，必然有一处反转，最后两人和解这样的套路，同时也在强调人与人之间的情感链接，这体现了女性的一种特质。而艾玛·汤普森真诚的表演，以及最后的通过自慰达到高潮，也为这部电影拥有了一个强有力的收尾。 / 2022.7.19 公司
对话太有趣了！！！基本爆笑看完！！！男主真的很完美了！尤其是他的body，嘿嘿嘿，我馋了，大声说！女主身上的议题很真实，到最后和男主互相拯救，真好！一部美好的电影^~^
希望我和朋友们早日挣脱内心的枷锁，不仅在爱好上、阅读上、影视剧里获得快乐，而且能真真正正地体验到身体所能享受到的一切美好的感觉。
四星半。机智不让人厌烦的对话，诚恳现实主义的拍摄手法。直视欲望，接受自己
不是说花钱找鸭就能找出道貌岸然的优越感、找出独立女性人设、找出自我和解的。这片子被追捧我是真的不理解，只是题材反常规而已，实际上跟女性解放一点关系都没有。请看它的镜像电影《花容月貌》，一个超级大美女主动做应召女郎，没有任何客观原因，完全发自内心。很讽刺，是不是？而且它作为房间电影来讲，也是不及格的存在，对白写得太虚无，处处泛着圣母光环，被《与女人们的对话》吊打。
女主抛出的每一个问题都好经典。完全共情女主。那种害怕失望、不自信的表情，on almost every woman‘s face.
“找到你的快乐，并尊重它”——为了寻找那期待已久的人生“性高潮”55岁的寡居的她招了一个20多岁的帅哥开房与自己享受那瞬间完美。这是一部“做”而论道的电影🎦——网盘下载外挂字幕第一刷。
