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'.

有Gaga在的影或视，音乐的品味总是契合所要呈现的年代与叙事，妙不可言。
帕西诺亮嗓已经快成了好莱坞的非物质文化遗产
我好喜欢前半段他们在一起的画面，喜欢就是不停地亲吻与触碰。
现实的压力跟社会的阅历，旁人异样的眼光，还是选择了大多数人的生活。
唉，这么豪华的服装和场景阵容，拍了个评书故事会深度级别的本子。雷大爷最近几年是怎么了，金钱世界如出一辙。您以前也不参与剧本，但是拍出来也不是这样的。这个时代讲真实事件不能再这么百度百科式的记录，走过场。没有人物！只有脸谱！面对如此家喻户晓的事件，我们到底在看什么，真的是只让我们看衣服吗。请问，您的受众是对此还不知情的00后吗。那，这么冗长流水账。你觉得他们能看得下去吗。除了衣服，leto的扮相，口音和表演有点看头，lady gaga还凑合但是她本来就是个猛女虎女。我家老司机，我根本看不到他在想什么。这片子不让他面容说话。还有口音对白的表达，也过时了，笨拙且没必要。明天看最后的决斗，口碑据说不错，别让我失望。
PS：短发女生蛮好看的
作为爆米花片看得还挺开心的，之后还买了一个Gucci的耳环XD
我的天 看到最后我都没认出是Jared Leto演的Paolo…//电影本身拍得无趣。
我也曾经在沙漠的约书亚树下，和你一起看粉红色的月亮
大概就是當初看Timing的感覺，編導跟技術真的都是emily level？但可能是血液中有著tvb的因子，又或是演員的功勞，後段還是有被勾到一些情感（但實在太多其他電影的影子了）
Gaga的演出油腻且表面，每次用力怒目圆睁的时候我总担心她的眼球会掉出来。
看过圣罗兰纪梵希的故事，然而这部古驰家族跟时尚毫无关系，一家子人都特别世俗没啥艺术气息……
-为什么要找我当伴娘？-为什么你要答应？-因为我不想失去你这个朋友。-因为···其实我只有你一个朋友。—— ★★★☆ —— 观影过程时不时联想到台剧《第一次遇见花香的那刻》。
雷德利斯科特真的在养老了。拍这些废话一大堆而且没什么张力的故事。拜托，谁想看古驰的家长里短?我要看斗争！黑帮！勾心斗角！别搞这些又臭又长的腐朽电影给我看谢谢！
4-…太长了是个缺点，但总的来说还不错，有一种很古怪的趣味感，就好比片子里司机哥说他要把gucci做成梵蒂冈加上时尚感（似乎是这句），这个片子也有点这种时空错乱的混搭感，塑料意大利腔的英语挺搞笑，Gaga演的挺好的，但演的最好的还是莱托，不看演员表真的没认出来…
任何都是选择 所以我选择打4星。有些不明白 但是也为我展现了一些我不是太明白的故事 给了我没想过的视角。况且演员很靓。
像是雷佬为了拿投资搞他心爱的异形宇宙而妥协的产物，但是大导演的下限还是在的，娱乐性十足，只是毫无艺术性可言，平白直叙没有任何电影语言. 莱托的表演从拿了小金人之后就愈发浮夸，Gaga女士的演技在其他几位衬托下反而显得很克制了 P.S. 同天释出资源的Gucci和玉面共同的主题: 因果报应 - 7.4
我的重点不对，咏蓝从美术老师那一盒子情书里翻找出自己的那一封时，我真的笑到拍桌。
故事本身不复杂，镜头语言也非常唯美，符合这个主题的基调。节奏略拖沓，但整体可看度高，其中也包含了一些用心的设计，包括致敬张国荣、致敬《蓝宇》，两位父亲不愿面对又内敛的父爱。
有幾場戲好尷尬。no zuo no die why you try.
