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'.

怎么做到跟《世界上最糟糕的人》共享同一种女性形象的？带着满身幻想横冲直撞却搞不清楚自己到底想要什么，尽管难免遭人嫌、惹人烦，却也葆有青春的天真与烂漫。
剧情、配乐、台词密集度、各种连衣裙都昭示着这是一部再典型不过的法式小品。最后女二的一段话值得所有以为爱是所有、爱是第一的女性好好体会一下：自我才是第一位的。法国太适合宣扬人的自我意识了。
三星半；拍的真美，人美，景美，裙子美…法国人的浪漫💕 内敛又奔放的女主，i了
又是一个跑个不停的女主，来不及思考就开始横冲直撞。好像不用跑的就会被无聊和凝视幽禁，辜负自由和青春；好像非得是在奔跑中才能纾解不断迸发的能量和激情，舒展四肢和灵魂。遇上爱情也是不管不顾迎头就上，执拗地要用满腔热血去融化理性的条条框框。不留遗憾的爱情和人生，只能是通过不留余力地奔跑来完成。
以为又是什么烂大街的外遇故事，却是小三爱上了原配，灵魂高度契合，又彼此追逐，让人拍案叫绝的故事走向。从始至终男与女之间的感情都无聊透顶，唯独两个身份对立的女人之间的爱情流淌着情欲的张力与诱惑。以书籍作为交流和生情的媒介，赢过皮肉间煌煌的性欲横流。两个女人之间，不论性别的爱，即使是幻象，也如夏花般美好。法国人把禁忌之恋拍的像夏日阳光下吹来的海风，充斥着漫到天际的浪漫和兜不住的明媚。
为了爱的人，我走进了那间电梯。
《阿娜伊斯的爱情》，唉，女人好无聊啊，除了青春和爱，好像别的都没有意义了一样。也只有法国那种语境下才有这样的片子。法国人真是喜欢挥霍的人群，挥霍自由、青春和不负责任，以人人都有“追求爱的权利”之名。
法国人的感情还是这么冲动浪漫不受束缚，一个人就可以构建起爱情。
几乎爱上了阿娜伊斯在剧中的每一个镜头，除了船戏！她和呆哈应该是我个人最喜欢的两位法国新生代女演员～
哈哈又是一个世界上最糟糕的人啊，喜欢这样鲜活热辣的女性形象(≠讨人喜欢) 不要再深陷讨好型人格，做自己吧，哪怕是世界上最糟糕的人。
爱情的到来一切都变慢了，就像Anais的步伐。而今天的你都是每一个过去每一段对话决定的。
无论是弗兰西丝哈，世界上最糟糕的人，还是本片的主人公阿娜伊斯，她们都一直在奔跑，向欲望奔跑，向爱奔跑。
法式夏日爱情小品，年纪稍大的女生出来之后变得好看了起来，当失去爱情的恐惧战胜了幽闭空间的恐惧，直球女主本能的忠于了自己的内心，喜欢最后的镜头，喜欢停在此刻的故事结尾
前半部分好似法版弗兰西斯哈，塑造人物很成功。后半段落入老套的欲望和伦理摇摆。不过就是把三角恋的各种可能性穷尽一遍。依曼纽穆雷的"所言所行"把后者阐释地清清楚楚。所以阿娜伊斯恋爱戏相映之下反而没有光彩。
落在我身上的吻，咸咸的，带着海沙的粗糙颗粒。
Je suis pas d'accord 很好 很勇敢很自由很自我很有生命力 设定在Bretagne也很好很适合 我也想去Plage de Maez-an-Aod😭😭😭
m2229：不同意又如何，最后不过多一场幻想。终究面对生活。继续流着伤心的泪。
不行诶，就算我再向往和追求随性与自由，以及找到自己爱人的方式，电影里Anais不负责任的程度还是给了我更大的焦虑。不行不行。
很喜欢那种自由并且独立的状态，最棒了就是“法国女孩”他们丰富而大量的对话中间不会缺乏文艺，或者说知识性的一面，这可能跟他们喜欢读书有关系，但是确实比起普通的闲聊会有深度很多。最后真的很温暖，那种灵魂上的鼓励和支持。
沙滩的戏好棒。但是女主每次在别人和她讲话时都爱自说自话真的很讨厌。
