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'.

明明相爱为什么没有收获好的结局！中间相爱那段太美好了！！！真的很心动啊！！
最烦直女根本没想清楚自己究竟想要什么的时候既要又要还要的样子。但人总是一而再再而三地糟蹋自己这辈子最珍贵的东西。结尾有点恶心，扣一星。
电影版延续了昨日美食的精髓，日常的琐碎切片，细碎处的爱意和温情更显细腻。总觉得这里的西岛秀俊笑的格外真实和动人（省流版：没亲到
左小人有得姬片看就不错了，右小人拍得如此无趣真的不行。（怎么翻来覆去还是唯美刻意，苦大仇深
“I can believe enough for both of us” 听到这句话我莫名其妙就开始泪如雨下
在这样糟烂的时刻里，真真切切地给了我两个小时的治愈
违命前传（x/女主长得像McAdams和火吻的私生女😂姬片编剧们是不是得了HE困难综合症？？结局什么东西啊！封建迷信不可取！You should been there.
我也有过被迫去教堂的经历，坐在那里的每分钟都在想走…那时候要是有美女看就好了！
3.5 感觉是看了2h SP而不是映画_(:з」∠)_节奏一点没变耶有点偷懒，Spitz很妙～
年度外语十佳备选。意外挖到的宝藏电影，有点类似前两年的《真心半解》，轻松舒适的观感，而不同于别的青春电影的是巧妙地融入了宗教背景，包括剧情最大冲突也是在此，关于爱情和信仰的抉择；最最好看的当然就是两位女主的火花，尤其是前半段的暧昧到中间的甜蜜，以及最后别离的悲伤，而宗教背景给予了这段感情一种特殊的禁忌感。从厕所背后拥抱到浴室洗礼，从车内激吻到海边漫步，既青涩又充裕的性张力。结尾简直就是恐婚恐育教科书。
个人不是很喜欢带有宗教元素的感情故事，两人离别前哭着说什么新世界也让我很无语，“我一个人的信仰足以支撑我们两个人”？？？？？不是很喜欢Marike这个角色，感觉两人也没有特别融洽的搭配感，反而是Jaime和同学小哥之间的友情更舒服，看完觉得难道是自己太冷血？就感觉如果是我会选择一刀两断，就算是成为心里永远的伤疤，也不会想要回去看她作为别人的妻子还生了小孩，还要在不接受自己的宗教环境里煎熬，图个啥？？
想起13年我大学的时候看到这部txl漫画就立马着迷的时候。其中很多梗真的只有同志能懂心酸。比如说我们这种人一不小心就会失去最重要的爱人的恐惧，比如说你想过你们没有我夫妻之名他会一直在你身边的那种患得患失。太多了，爱真的需要互相去尊重，用心去感受才行。
有时候觉得两个人都挺温柔的，有时候觉得有点过于礼貌而显得生疏
年轻版《违命》，然而这部的宗教只让人性冷淡。能看出一些其它les片的影子，舍弃已成为定番的激烈性爱只拥抱热吻，是一种进步。
从“I love you ”开始就憋不住眼泪，中间断续哭了三次。直到最后两句对白，终于号啕大哭。上次这样为爱掉眼泪，还是为自己的初恋。太相似的青春期肉痛感觉。二十年倏忽而逝。 //本片可见姬片的进步脚步，是在前人不断学习和累积的基础之上的
大半程为她俩紧张。一直在想，九十年代这种极端保守的小镇，大多居民都是“见证会”的教徒，为什么两个女孩非要在大庭广众下亲昵呢，非常要在危险的边缘游走。看得人紧张到有些窒息。看完电影才明白，真爱是无法掩饰的，真爱是迫不及待的，真爱是旁若无人的。信教的女孩在陷入爱情时整个人是快乐的、洋溢的，眼睛里是有光的，她生了小孩之后是憔悴的、痛苦的，眼睛是呆滞的。女孩最后抓住对方的手，希望可以做出一个勇敢的决定，既然她们心中仍有爱。两个女孩试探的碰触和背后的拥抱等细节都拍得特别细腻、动情。
对于西岛粉来说甜度过高🥲还以为这辈子再也看不见大俊俊接这么甜的本了🥰🥰😭
第一次看爱情片产生如此强烈的不适。和religious maniac谈恋爱简直就是恐怖片啊，你有信仰还撩拨我，我回应了你又后退，搞这些就算了还要给我传教，还要我为了十几岁的爱情和才见过两次面的男人结婚？婚姻里一套外面一套且毫无道德压力是religious maniacs的传统吗？难怪搞出来这么多paedophilia。厕所那一段在我看来完全就是猥亵，洗礼那一段更是精神上的强奸，最后女主去到她家里那里我简直要打电话报警连夜逃出绝命镇，太可怕了我是怎么把这一个半小时坚持下来的啊？
就算是凑时长我也愿意看。 有这样相互为对方着想的伴侣真的太好了！！ 相互尊重相互理解地爱着彼此，平平淡淡最高！ btw，焦糖苹果吐司加雪糕看起来就很好吃！！
一见钟情？爱情输给了宗教信仰？结婚有娃了还能再在一起吗？
