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'.

好一出浓郁节日氛围的小调，TiTa TiTa…
最近很喜欢看一些口水电影 和炸鸡可乐非常配 轻松的享受一下生活
okay我能get你们想表达啥但nope，这个execution完全不work尤其是剧本写作部分，各位主创你们看到line delivery不会尴尬的吗？尤其是Oscar和Tiffany之间完全硬拉的chemi，就还不如当奥爹soft porn看【啥【老马你还是自己上吧【【
小鸡电影来说值得四⭐了，女主男主颜值演技都在线，不浮夸也够撩，适合假期被窝观看哈哈~
最近恶趣味爆发hhhh 这位油腻程度远超克鲁尼， Tye Sheridan一块未熟的肥肉，连威廉达福都腻嘴
男主角身材长相都不可否认的好 但是剧情真的是乱七八糟奇形怪状
被原著吸引过来的。感觉这个改编蛮成功，剧情快起来了，无关的人物也去掉了一些。但俩人的演技真的不咋地。
十年前的晋江水平吧，关键是真的难以get男女主的火花，这种片子剧情都是其次，主演一定要有feel啊！

不难看
在凝炼的整体之下，以与人物目光拥有较多对视时刻的方式逐渐建构起独属于我们与主角的空间。对比文本溢出的前作明显话少的情境才能赢得观众更多的共情，不再是灌输的而是由衷的，这样的情感产生也是余味最悠长的。Tell极少坦露过内心，但在事件渐进下他的脸庞早已言说完关于过去的一切，Robert Levon Been的原声则包含了为过去愁闷的所有情绪。
#venezia78 这一代电影人曾用青春热血杀出一条新路，直到今天依然激励鼓舞着世界各地决心献身电影事业的人，而保罗•施拉德和马丁•斯科塞斯是走在前列挥舞着铁拳的领军人，有着男儿的阳刚与血性。但人终会老，他们肩上承担了太多责任感，曾经意气风发的抨击渐渐变为深深的痛心疾首与赎罪之情，本片仿佛背负着沉重的十字架前行，观众似与男主人公一起如伊桑•霍克般走向自我毁灭之路，过往不堪回首，明日不见曙光，唯有爱可以拯救。难得的从施暴者角度切入，不幸的是，其同时也是受害者，在他遇见另一个受害者的儿子时，伤疤被揭开。我们终将面对该面对的，无论过去还是自己（这也是本届很多电影的主题）。《后翼弃兵》明确I will entertain you，本片，I will tell you a story. 这就是不同。
“真应该感谢你的健身教练”“你的衣服并不是唯一和你眼睛相配的东西”“因为这个所以我要叫你shortcake 那是我爱你的开端”我全程都在喊速do 最后告上司也很爽
当然男主一直叫女主甜心是我只想大叫职场性骚扰
soooooo sweetttttttttt
不愧是马丁斯科塞斯监制的 腔调十足 / 裸眼VR酷刑真的吓死人了 / 缓慢track in 再加男主一连串的形容词 / talent vs imagination / 包裹家具真的…
