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'.

爱上你的这个世界，从毫无波澜，变成色彩缤纷，也从没有任何感情波澜的自己，变成了患得患失，既脆弱又幸福。「我不可以成為你的阻礙」，「為了今後一起生活下去，現在我們不能一直在一起，但是我絕對會回到你身邊，你也要回到我身邊」第一次看到蠢太哭泣，看上去是个坚强的大啾啾，其实内心里比谁都害怕失去，害怕高人就像是当初那样一个人扛下所有离自己而去，用戒指栓住了两个人的感情。mi tesoro，高人用自己笨拙的方式给了蠢太回应，真的好甜好感动，希望他们俩能一直在一起。
祖父我的了（不）💃真不是谁都能做好的，略尬...开车了，没完全开😠 那对副cp每次就尿个几滴也是够了，能单独出个剧场版好好讲讲吗！！
看完了，对于粉丝来说很快乐吧，虽然是漫画里已经出现过的剧情。（所以没看过的和反感的别强求）
比《四次》好不少，敞开的洞像《世界的起源》，真理之路的终点是死亡。不过我看的时候一直在脑补乔·丹特的《惊异大奇航》……
终于！这漫画啥时候才能完结啊啊啊啊 好想看副cp！！！
很热烈的感情呀！但总感觉和樱花妹的xp和情感触发点有时候很相像，有时候又像隔着一层似的。加一星是给有爱的祖父祖母。
老者生天了，探洞者入地了，最后都是一个尽头
全片不以人或物为主角，而且广袤的自然，也许是某一种气，因此使用俯拍。而且拍摄难度奇高无比。
手指血管跳动，伴随老人起伏有序的呼吸，沉静有力，像是他身处之地的脉搏。这片他浸身的地方，随他一起沉浮。
没有阴影线了 好评 但多处人物崩坏 弗朗明哥也太拉胯了 啊啊啊啊 什么啊 1.5倍速看完 什么都没记住啊 表白说什么爱上一个人 会变的脆弱这种话 我真的眉头一皱啊
斗舞的高人先生也太迷人了吧！这个篇章有一些关于两个人怎样长久走下去的思考呢，喜欢～
ED好听

剧情有点拉，而且西班牙的文化，舞蹈太难让人理解，被某些小片段骗过来的建议就看剪辑，不要去看。真的非常一般
今早起来照镜子面容白皙透亮，睡眠不足依旧神采奕奕，这就是BL的力量！
1.大全景很多 2.位于斜上方的俯拍很多 3.前段从特写到大全景的直接切换很多。
拉长到电影的长度反而有些无聊了，沙雕情侣的日常才是最有趣的啊～
唯一的亮点是蠢太玩囚禁play那段，真带感！发情天使yyds! 下巴的线条终于没了。

#11thBJIFF# 矿灯投射的昏黄光线在潮滑的岩壁上碰撞游移，竟产生了比戈登·威利斯的“阴影美学”更加惊艳的视觉效果。火烛状的光斑凝缩成一个奇点的时候整个人仿佛要被吸到银幕中去。老者手背上起伏的浅静脉想及《镜子》中在日光曝晒下渐渐消失的水痕。
