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'.

在Josh家看的 不知道为了什么哭唧唧 都怪到荷尔蒙那去吧
这种叙事方式未免太过残忍了，一点点拼凑回到爱开始的地方，一起走过的小巷，一起喝过的酒，一起打闹的时光，越往美好的开端去回忆就越让人心痛。
这种电影可太费枕头套了。
作为商业向的青春片，能够落在“青春充满遗憾，但那样也很好”这么克制的点上，已经很值得叹服，但更重要的还是拍出了“当代感”，这点足以吊打各种撑着怀旧拐杖不肯撒手的国产青春片了。吴磊浪费了这么多年的花期，能够在青春的尾巴上演到这么一部，我可以安息了！
拍得太好了，真是又美又残酷啊。池松壮亮我的爱
我所剩下的只有去阳台上，等待夏天26日的太阳缓慢升起的，一根烟的时间。
刚上的时候朋友力荐，还被拉去八景岛水族馆巡礼，剧情也被透了个遍。想着等出dvd再看吧，没想到阴差阳错的久违去看了一场creephyp，ナイトオンザプラネット的现场很有电影感，尾崎大大的关于ex的念白，硬生生把我听哭了，忍不住还是跑去电影院看了！很喜欢倒述的形式，和最后一场伴着ex达令弹唱相遇一起舞蹈的戏。可惜因为剧情被透得差不多+做好了另版花束的准备，竟没有想象中的那么戳我。可能是我也没有遇到过如此合拍的恋人吧。松居大悟真是creephyp真爱粉啊。
因为被那首《拥抱》打动过，所以最后才会觉得情绪被反噬。不明白陈正道为什么要这样夹带私货，这样做的意义到底是什么，为了让一个女生彻头彻尾认识到自己只是笑话，是配角，是陪衬吗？情感上没有办法接受。
city of star are u shining just for me
7。整个电影都是倒叙的碎片，轻盈无重量，到了最后的最后，夜晚街头的随意起舞，让我突然觉得爱情的重量就是“靡不有初，鲜克有终”。
稍微想起一些我们之前的事，一起养的猫咪、海洋馆的蓝色光景、成为电影明星和机械工的梦想、一直坐在长椅上等待离世妻子的男人、伴随着音乐起舞的我们。和梦想恋爱的男人与和现实恋爱的女人。她最后还是与百分之五百命中注定的男人在一起了。
整体挺中规中矩，但还是有些很美的瞬间。（贾木许含量过高
时间慢慢回溯，情感越发激烈，反过来亦然...看到抱着宝宝出来的的男士时，真的好无奈。
尤其是"不踩地上的斑点走就会死掉哦"
一些有趣的草蛇灰线指向倒带的恋爱那点有迹可循，稀碎的日常满是暖心的细节和真实的对话。尽管伊藤沙莉的女司机和池松壮亮的舞者设定相当吸引人，但这两人实在是没有CP感……
太真实的画面和对话，用倒叙来展现真是后劲太足了。两人初识在小巷里跳舞的那一段好有冲击力。分手的两个人，在生日的这一天，偶尔也会想起对方。配上电影主题，好绝。
“感觉呀想法呀 转换成语言的话，一下就变味了。”所以那些不需要表达的心灵相通，一定很妙吧。
片子最迷人的地方
跟花束对比还是差了一些
倒序很好，但是日历上标个年份犯法吗？
