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'.

剧本、演员和调度好到，就算充满了标签化的表达，还是忍不住非常、非常的入戏！男主太迷人了！
人生的痛苦岂是几场与陌生人的性事就解决得了的。
整体过于（小成本）工整，话语表达显而易见，但因此总体上轻松适宜
You do like some kind of sex saint, and being a teacher suddenly pays her back, enables her to explain the accident so reasonably and convincingly 和学生的对话可以看出冷漠老师不是个会察言观色、考虑他人感受的高情商的人，虽然循规蹈矩却不是真的在乎，直到她感受到人和人之间的温度 thx to the SEX SAINT! Oh, when he felt wrongly treated by his mother老娘母性关怀雌性荷尔蒙爆棚！这是对俄狄浦斯情结最当代的展示了吧！！concupiscence
倒是想起之前和ex睡前睡后并肩坐在床上的对话，那些沮丧的、欢欣的、诚实的、矫饰的、难解的、无法重演的。
影片三星半 艾玛老师五星 接受淫欲 接受快乐 接受自己 能不能请科林费尔斯拍个男版
Inspiring！非常好，细腻又有趣，剧本和表演都相当不错，温柔而有力量。有勇气把女性的欲望和自我矛盾拍得这么真实生动，向艾玛汤普森致敬！Ladies, go get yourself a proper orgasm!
在剧本构架上很优秀，从女性各方面的心理困境出发，通过难以启齿的交易来面对难以启齿的真实自我，再延展出社会整个人群都会面临的一些困境，最后两个人算是互帮互助了，其实关于第三次会面的争吵设置的有些刻意，但这种不经意间流露出的母亲式的过于关心与质问也还是符合Nancy人设的。男主很乖很帅很贴心很有职业素养，Emma Thompson借角色之口传达了她的人生理念和巨大的勇气。我姨太美了，紧绷的、羞赧的、懊悔的、教条的、悲伤不知所措的、释然的、绽放的、勇敢的，每一面都非常非常美。
也许我们只要做到爱自己，享受性爱，享受愉悦，其他的都不那么重要了吧。
对比，世界上最糟糕的人，你觉得我是谁。I want it, I want it very much。你是我一生唯一冒过的险。无聊的名字，无聊的人生，一生遵守父权定下的女性规则，从未逾越（愉悦）。31年的夫妻生活，机械运动，假装高潮，这是我唯一学会的性爱姿势。我永远在下面，No oral。从未尝试在上面，后面。前戏后戏，爱抚抚摸，深入探索彼此的身体。性是美妙，不是可耻，Concupiscense。最后的看着年轻的肉体，手指深入，自w，对镜自照，下垂的乳，松垮的肌肤，容貌焦虑，body shame再也无法击垮我，每一道皱纹都是我努力赚来的。我也有欲望，我想要！我就是老色鬼！seedy old pervert。毕竟谁不贪恋年轻的肉体，如水的肌肤，紧凑的胸肌，腹肌，口水。。中间的越线，小鲜肉的身子，更想要TA的灵，灵与肉双修。
演的真好，好多地方笑死。最喜欢藏标签那个镜头，Emma Thompson太可爱了。

发生在房间里的大龄老女人与年轻鸭子的浪漫故事

编剧怎么这么会写。老妇丧偶后找鸭，希望达成人生中最棒的一次性体验。鸭鸭帅气、性感、温柔、深情、善解人意，老妇忍不住多点了几次服务。两个人除了协作满足老妇的愿望外，更多的是一种心理的疗愈。老妇不仅实现了自己冒险的目的，而且直面了自己的欲望，不再遮遮掩掩，也不再害羞。与此同时，鸭鸭也接受了自己，坦诚面对亲人的态度，不再为自己的职业羞愧。四次会面，循序渐进，在一切都变得完美之后，影片结束。没有多余的设计，只有精妙的台词。艾玛·汤普森又突破了自己。配乐非常好听，轻快又青春。
wowow，性喜剧外壳下的心理咨询。Leo是wounded healer，专注，共情，耐心，积极倾听，不评判客户的各式需求，疗程的重点是让来访关注此时此刻的自己，接纳感受，解决未竟的议题，在生活中获得更多活力和弹性。这再次告诉我们边界设置的重要性，避免过度卷入，当Leo被自己的往事吞没，他可以拥有一个督导来谈谈原生家庭和母子关系么？所幸他们拥有坚实的治疗同盟，可以谈论裂痕和痼疾，相互疗愈，共同成长。其他议题还有死亡焦虑，借由年轻的躯体重拾“世界刚刚打开，一切皆有可能”的新奇。
Emma Thompson太通透了，完全释放自我的一次表演，光芒万丈！女性导演才能拍出的细腻和女性心理。
倒是想起之前和ex睡前睡后并肩坐在床上的对话，那些沮丧的、欢欣的、诚实的、矫饰的、难解的、无法重演的。
