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'.

开头看到的结尾的故事，只是没想到会构建这么童话般的结局。如同豆瓣友邻之间的恋爱，把情人所有的细节都赋予这对最幸运的爱侣，然后再将他们拉到生活中来。
所以碇真嗣父子双双与自己的窝囊丧逼自毁（顺带毁灭世界）过往和解，历经创伤却勇敢坚强从不抱怨孤军奋战的女性们全成炮灰？稀里糊涂，我难受。
不剧透，最后还是流泪了，并不是因为CP，不是的，是一种夹杂着很多遗憾和不舍地与相识多年老友告别的复杂感情。关于最后的cp，必然引起很多人的堵心。也许很多人会觉得错过是很难过的事情，然而很多粉丝已然年过三十，大约已经明白人生是如何充满错过与遗憾，凡人的力量又是如何渺小，于是只能握紧上天派发的小小幸福，努力活下去。再见，所有的EVA，很优秀的电影，但是不要再重拍了。
2021年12月31号在北京去往大庆的高铁上和对象一起看的。如果是三年前的我，大概会心有戚戚焉，但现在这段关系里的我们，相同的爱好并不多，不过我们都十分乐在其中，所以对电影里的由相同爱好生发的爱情就没有太多共鸣了，毕竟，精神上的“门当户对”，哪有看看手帐聊聊电影就能了解通透的呢？只是电影里麦的“黑化”确实快得让我觉得唐突，来自社会的毒打，会这么迅速地改变一个人的生活态度吗？也许更多是为了剧情服务吧，两个人看重的东西不再一样，分道扬镳也只是时间问题了。
17 JUN 2021 (4-) 戲名+架純妹應該趕走唔少art house寶寶，兩粒鐘故仔橫跨2015-2020，戀人由偶遇、熱戀、共居、冷漠、裂痕、分手、重遇，貌似一般過唔一般的愛情片套路，但人家贏就贏左zoom到埋去大學(理想)到社會(現實)呢個gap度，再contextualize落去個文青脈絡深而化之。最好睇唔係佢地點樣miss左牯嶺街同男的睇郭利斯馬基訓左，而係果D小處細節流出黎，滾雪球咁越滾越大的失望︰慳錢只能飲7-11咖啡、對曾經常去的麵包店關門無感、見到你愛人去書店放棄左文學而走去睇self-help book。以大眾愛情片的劇本計，真係做到軟綿綿淚漣漣，值得參詳的地方無數。P.S. 有瀧內公美。望住架純妹，一念︰點解香港D女文青唔係金絲白面就係營養不良？
文青爱情故事，理想主义的爱情如何被现实主义打败，结婚是分手的另一种表现形式，soulmate未必永远在一起，但是永远的soulmate。
只想说 冬月副司令 14年间 你的审美发生了什么……所有的EVA量产机从造型到数量都如此鬼畜。。。
4、最心疼的还是明日香。
如果村花追求的是偶然共鸣的精神生活，或许苏打最后走向的是具体的生活形式。而我现在终于觉得后者不比前者不重要了。
整个3D绫波丽的脑袋，大红眼珠子瞪的跟tm俊雄似的，搁这致敬咒怨呢?
软色情严重，剧情拖沓，原速看了半小时忍不住开2倍速了，要不是字幕看不过来我巴不得4倍速。好歹也曾经中二过，EVA以这样落幕我不接受。庵野秀明太垃圾，这tm跟EVA原作有半毛钱关系？？？？两星给情怀。
从《破》开始的魔改到《Q》的完全新开，所谓“新剧场版”也好，“重构”、“rebuild”也罢，终究都是殊途同归，最终还是回到了TV版第26集的真嗣补完计划。只不过这次庵野秀明在足够资金与技术的加持下终于完成了他梦寐以求的蓝图。老剧场版虽经典，但这样的完结我更喜欢
8 one last kiss好听，然后da capo版beautiful world响起直接哭了啊，不管是好是烂，一切都结束了啊。
还是大家就是喜欢这种不明觉厉的感觉
1、香黨心態一言難盡，期待被打臉又沒有打得很徹底。
用了二十六年，六部剧场版，一部电视剧，扯了一堆乱七八糟玄之又玄的东西，最终讲了一个如此纯爱的结局。看不起死宅男庵野秀明骨子里还是放不下对美好感情的向往。可惜了葛城美里和加持良治这么好的人类。人类补全计划早就该来了。人类可以灭绝，留下其他生命的种子就好了。可是还是看得一阵阵泪目。。
真是既搞了新意思，又照顾了老粉情绪，不仅所有主角都来一段总结陈词，连老TV版绫波丽叼面包片的喂屎结尾都做了成人社畜版的豪华升级，真是有心了。如果有《风花雪月》爱好者，看到最后武器的制造过程，应该心有戚戚。
以下剧透
明日巴陵道，秋山又几重。
