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'.

跑酷情节几乎是唯一的亮点 故事已经不足以用俗套来形容了 我的评价是 可以不看
跑酷作画是好，但看着也没有很爽。
3.5 仿佛预见了自己并不遥远的将来（映后交流觉得刘泽导演还挺真诚的
竟然是老虚剧本？第一眼新海诚来着…结尾还是流下几滴泡泡水
唯一能夸的画面甚至都不是我喜欢的画风... 除了流畅真的一无是处... 好像没有世界观也没有什么大格局 海的女儿现代版 bye
人物太多显得臃肿，比如送葬者五个人像是坏逼，结果就是群卖鞋的，两个主角的故事还没讲明白，就想着弄群像塑造。结果背景交代的不清楚，前因后果也没整通顺。整个故事就显得很不完整。
其实也不算太差。故事内核套用小人鱼爱王子的童话故事，旧壶装新酒，没新意。缝合怪，加了一堆老设定，萤火之森、天气之子、企鹅公路等等。世界设定还不错，天外来物的泡泡在唱歌和老故事相比没太大亮点。前半段是真的尬，虽然原故事就是公主爱上王子，但是这片还这么老套，并且突然的面部滤镜特写太出戏了...阴郁的男主设定太反感，并且一堆队友太多余，上次看这么空洞的还是天气之子。但是质量和配乐还是很在线的，两个星给恰到好处的配乐（有巨人的味道了），并且中间跑酷比赛和最后的登塔跑酷质量很好很燃。
结局居然不是男主日剧跑(酷)追上女主深情相拥然后东京毁灭。不过确实是新海诚受害者吧，篇幅太短了多数时间都给了绝赞的跑酷，铺垫还没多少就到结局了，以这个staff来讲还是可惜。

前面有点多余。后面开始，真是，人间真实。想到了，我的母亲，还有我的外婆外公。外公摔了一跤，拉回家了，断了管子，人就走了。外婆老年痴呆，没过半年，也走了。久病床前无孝子，强求不得。伺候人的事儿，谁能一直受得了呢。活着不管，死了办个体面的葬礼，也算是自我安慰了。不如啊，痛痛快快的走了，自己不遭罪，也不用为难周围的人。活着的时候，好好活着，死了也干净利落吧。人生啊，活着一辈子，图什么呢？
音乐还是挺好听的～
拍的很稳，这是平遥影展这几天看的情感最真的一部电影。某处段落也被感动，作为新导演第一部已经很不错。结尾一镜可以去掉似乎更有力量，当然只是个人想法。
作画和配乐很了不得，跑酷戏份值得一看，其他的只能用节奏稀烂来形容。
跑酷作画是好，但看着也没有很爽。
最大的问题是多数戏都显“假”：人物的神态台词，环境的布景打光有明显的设计和表演感，看着真的很尴尬。小问题也有：跳跃的情节，单薄的角色，不明觉厉的长镜头和超现实，基本都无助于情绪代入。
故事太差，音乐一般，声优一般，只有霸权社的跑酷还可看。
“我们老了，一定要一起看电影，一起有尊严的相依为命，一起送大家体面的离开”。电影本身优点和不足根本无需评说，因为我们已经找到我们想要的答案了，这就是《来处》的使命和价值！！！
而父亲洗澡那段还打码，又不是露械。我最近看台湾一讲阿兹海默症题材，人家就一点不遮掩，那叫真实。
开头不介绍一下世界观，一言不合就跑酷，看的有些莫名其妙
泡沫，螺旋，海的女儿，宇宙大爆炸，庞加莱回归。
