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'.

奇奇怪怪的卡司；HAIM爸爸的台词100%即兴演出；Alana本人真实完成所有驾驶部分，Alana车技高超
有点素描喜剧的畅快！正襟危坐，假戏真做的爆笑背后是小人物专注热爱的温情。影片在略显复古的杀手背景下，营造出了一种古朴的电影美感，与麻花特有的抽筋式耍怪相得益彰，整的我和我哥在影院里悲喜不断！也希望借此激励曾经有演员梦的哥哥能够早日实现梦想。
有点失望，当PTA的电影里缺少了DDL就显得乏善可陈了
pta的爱情神话，是描摹时代的爱情神话，最后归结到爱情片开端就应该出现的confess，仿佛七十年代的种种（石油危机、好莱坞往事、各种政治事件）只是他们俩爱情的点缀似的。
前20min是好笑的，尽管大都来自原版，后面的煽情和小人物励志太尬太尬了，雨中曲很没有必要，所以综上所述确实欣赏不来开心麻花
他们在互相折磨什么，他们在等待什么，他们在跑什么。🤔
笑死我了这个片，里面人物都跟哈了叶子一样，神经病得可爱。PTA又拍了一部《魅影缝匠》，我觉得它们内核是一样的，两个时而傻吊、时而可爱、时而酷炫的角色注定应该在一起。啊，太浪漫了，要不是因为是在线看的，碰到好几次卡顿，我还能打更高。但就莫名的，发现现在缺少那种为了设计得花哨但也巧妙的镜头会激动的状态了，我理性意识到了，但是感性没被触发。
介于2-3⭐之间吧。 剧情简单，中间儿子桥段实在多余而且煽情。 喜剧最核心的，其实是演员，男主看得出用心了，可这东西确实需要天赋。 我相信男主是个不错的喜剧电影配角，但主演，他撑不起来。
很久没看过这么奇诡乖谬的爱情片啦，背景还是喜欢的年代喜欢的地方，连他们的穿着打扮也是我现在心里时尚前沿的。喜欢Alana无数次随时随地就奔跑起来的样子，25岁当然也可以像小孩一样拥有powerful feeling～
沉浸于70年代，男女主角永远在互相靠近和互相推开的似爱非爱的轨道中推进这段奇奇怪怪的好莱坞往事，明星、政客、流行和政治事件成为了他们生活中的过客，Gary过于早熟地混迹于街头，Alana却任由十五岁的少年牵引着她二十五岁的生活头绪。在总是无缘无故的“日剧跑”的青春叙事里，总有种反成长的怀旧在里面，或者说PTA从未被时代神话所说服的局外人的友善讽刺与温和调笑。
PTA拍了这么一部诶 享受~！这么折腾的我竟然还觉得浪漫
15岁的他能让25岁的她心动的原因在于，他有着30岁的成熟度。甘草和披萨看似很违和的东西最终也能因为各种奇奇怪怪的原因搭配到一起，世界就是这么奇妙。没想到《life on mars》 出现在一个阳光灿烂而无足轻重的场景。 PTA依然细腻真实，两个人的情感流通表现得不够深入。选角没有亮点，音乐也没用到位。
Very easily, the best film of the year.
非专业人士，但我认识的“喜剧片”从来就不是这样的，我觉得它也不该是这样的。欣喜而又无奈的是，这部电影的粗俗笑话没我之前看过的国产喜剧片那么密集了，起码它做到了节制，这或许也是一种进步？记不住多少次把开心麻花拉进黑名单了，然而每年都要和家人一道去遭受煎熬。
若是真爱请勿呼吸，以色列马伽术不及自愿裸露，中东战争影响水床销量，Tom Waits Sean Penn 火坑局，倒车请注意，“心系社会”亦自私……一群像大人的孩子和像孩子的大人，挺傻愣挺青涩挺甜
It’s 2021 and I really don’t need to see a badly told story with boring characters, filled with racism/sexism jokes. I don’t give a fuck about anything that happens in this film. The romance is so cheap. The not-coming-anywhere-coming-of-age story is so cheap. Seriously???
比烂爱情故事？姑娘觉得小男孩儿小但是“熟男”们更是自恋疯狂油腻或者压根儿深柜基意思大家兜兜转转还是奔向彼此，看在浪漫喜剧和成长电影的主题还是打四星但不得不诚实地说我一直不太能体会PTA电影的点……
3.5 私人式的表达成长和情感历程的作品。个人感觉不如《私恋失调》。系统补了一下pta后不得不感叹他真是玩转镜头的高手。
趁男人还没变馊之前爱他，PTA的纯爱不是奶糖，而是甜中带甘。
先看的《魔幻时刻》，所以打了点折，主角演得挺好，马丽的脸真年轻，好像年轻的刘嘉玲，虽然身材出卖了年龄。
