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'.

主要价值还是看花絮，很多年前一直在抠花絮看，能看的都看了。这次放出的片段几乎都是全新的，依然很好笑。至于演员重聚的部分，倒已经没有太大感触，这样简单的一个重聚访谈都能一波三折这么多年确实是挺让粉丝心里受伤的，而且早已可以将演员和角色分开。还挺想看他们聊聊Rachel和Joey的感情算不算黑历史，结果也没聊到。希望HBO MAX可以把全部花絮拿出来剪一剪上架几个小时版本，我更愿意看那个。
好久没有一个电影或纪录片能让我看得这么开心，更没有哪个电影让我笑得泪流满面。为这六个人开心，为自己在北京的十年开心。
最好的告别。重游旧地，重温旧梦，主角们和观众也借此机会对青春无敌的往日时光作出正式的告别。配角出场时间太短，盖勒夫妇都没问问题，珍妮丝也没问问题就匆忙离场了。岁月不饶人啊，大家都老了，乔伊胖了，钱德勒还换了一副口牙。人生难得是欢聚，唯有别离多!友谊万岁!狗x的tx竟然删减了7分钟?!
能感受到创作者们的热情，但也感受到前同事们一起营业的略微尴尬。。。
又哭又笑，最后菲比那句“人总要长大的”又有一些释然。致敬那些无法复制的经历，那些遗憾，那些得到与失去。
菲比：「不会，不会拍电影或续集什么的」
在意义上，六个人重聚了，真好啊。内容上，分享了一些拍摄趣事，在不同的访谈类似的故事已经分享了很多。
画面不断在20+年前和现在之间切换有点残忍，岁月啊大家都老了。我又想把十季重看一遍。
其实重聚特辑本身并不是很好看... 重新念对白和再度猜题目都没有很快抓住我的眼睛，演员们并没有十分珍重那些回忆。但是把六个人再度叫拢在一起确实用了些功夫
又哭又笑地看完了，真正爱过这部剧的人怎么能不感动，只要看到他们六个人站在一起就想要流泪了。也许那原本不是他们最好的十年，是老友记使这十年成为了他们最好的一段时光。这样的重聚或许再也不会有了，但让我依旧感动得是，他们让我发现总有东西会在时间中永远保持着它最美好的样子。
竟然只有一集…不拍续集是正确的，朋友总要散场，没有必要为了见而见，彼此都在心中
我就说嘛前两季罗斯和瑞秋那个气场不像是演出来的，果然……太开心了，看着他们就很美好。
“They are my friends.”管他制作是否精良，看个情怀就够了。有生之年一定会再刷一次全季的！
看一个蜡笔小新剧场版哭了好几次，这都正常吗？但是好燃啊！！渐入佳境的故事。
时光留下印记，那是最好的我们。好感动。David和Jennifer？！！
I knew it！！我就知道第一季的时候大卫和詹妮弗互相喜欢，气场都和别人不！一！样！
罗斯对当初布景的点评，提到机位，可以看出这是他后来转型导演的影响
看到Geller夫妇出来惊讶了一秒然后开始流泪。看到Janice出场小小泪目了一下。R&R最后一次拥吻“咔”后紧紧抱着不愿分开又心酸了一瞬。所幸所有人最后的结局是圆满的。丽萨本人也很有智慧，喜欢她在节目中短暂流露的人生感慨。
从ross进来的那一刻起，就开始流眼泪了。不管是卖情怀也好，赚眼泪也罢，十年真的是太美好的一段友谊和时光了。五星，毋庸置疑！！！
