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'.

救命！“女”二真的是我，厌倦了你来我往的社交方式和调情俗套，追求更多的刺激来填满内心的空虚，会因为一句“我喜欢你”而变得更喜欢对方，但这就是我真挚的爱情，五天前认识的陌生人会想让我结束我后面所有的一切计划，虽然下头的人很多，但我愿意一直相信爱情，相信自己会遇到那个人的，被上天安排来这个世界上，会有一个人能接受我的一切并看到我很爱他而奋不顾身爱我的！！
我觉得唯一还不错的，说出了很多圈子里的现状，身材崇拜，阳刚崇拜，歧视链各种，还有一点点对感情应该持有态度的思考，不过真的只有一点点。
“我今年30岁，从没交过男朋友，也没谈过恋爱。”这还刻板印象啊。以及聚会不该喧闹吗，安静留给无人知晓的夜吧。
本来是来看可可爱爱的二哈的，结果都被吃了，船长还差点抑郁了，艾玛，景色美是美，就是太冷了。
电影的后半部分男主们被困在了小屋里，变成了全部是心理戏份，节奏慢了太多，不喜欢这个题材的看不下去，不过影片是改编自真实事件，这些事情在历史上是真实发生的，对于这些历史人物属实敬佩，在那个年代对未知领域的探索一直不停歇甚至付出自己的生命......
到底是有多少人看不出来这是改编自《傲慢与偏见》的。。。。。还在那说剧情cliche，能不cliche吗，19世纪初的小说，你怎么不说傲慢与偏见cliche呢？
怎么2022了还是这用套路啊，gay喜剧能不能有点新意。
满怀期待而来，一脸失望而去。后半部别拍，或者一直拍和北极熊的对峙，都好过现在这种幻觉大派送。我本以为要拍成脆皮鸭文学，结果啥都没有。可看可不看，这种荒原历险片子很难拍得好，没有足够内容填充。比较而言，《极地恶灵》就很聪明。
虽然故事真的好俗套，演员之间也缺少火花且过于做作，但其中某些内容却也很真实，比如对圈内鄙视链、男二对于个人感情的困惑，一些喜剧元素也自然有趣，编剧不愧是脱口秀演员，不要抱太高期待，当成一部小妞爽片看就会很愉快。
我擦，疯狂往老夫身上扔糖啊！亲他！！抱他！！告诉他你爱他啊！！为啥好想看下一部啊？？？
性多数性少数人类最后无非都想有个水龙敬乐园🙄️
对于gay来说还是脸和身材比较重要，你再聪明有学识，第一眼可能就被pass掉了
哎，诺亚如果换一个好看的脸估计整体效果好很多呀。评论区有人说的很对了，刻板印象➕只能骗骗深柜看看
Love the Asian gay representation and supportive gay friends!!! Thank you 2022 for bringing us Heartstopper and this. Also Charlie is so fucking hot and exactly my type. So here it goes my #nickandcharlie selection. :) Also „Sometimes“ from MUNA is epic. #gaythrill
夭寿啦oliver passed the bar变律师啦
看了半天觉得剧情好眼熟 结果一看还真是gay版傲慢与偏见 整体还口以 男主如果再好看点就完美了 不过这也是典型亚裔长相了 我也好想去海边and party哦 撒子时候才能去泰国
是一部看了会让人非常开心的电影！单纯美好的！氛围超好的party之旅！！/其中，躺在沙滩上一起看书，一起交流的手语，一起冲向大海的浪漫氛围真的太美太美了。虽然镜头只有那几秒，但是却直击我的内心，我的爱情该有的样子。/爱一个人一定不能让他离开你！未来和爱情从来不需要二选一，因为爱你的人会和你一起走向你的未来！/“我真的为了你偷了水上的士”爱你的人会为你做许多疯狂的事，爱你的人会想方设法来和你相见，不负万里地前来。/最后的跳舞太杀我了，美丽的景，爱的人，未来就让它来吧，我们会携手去面对这一切挑战的！爱情太美好了！
米克森与艾弗森花费了近3个月的时间到达皮里地，拿到了能够证明格陵兰岛是一个整体的地图和资料。但受制于北极圈内恶劣的天气和事故，两人照预计时间晚了很多才回到船只。但此时，因船只被冰山撞坏，等待他们的船员不得不搭乘其他前来营救的船只返回丹麦。所幸的是，在他们离开之前，在岸边建了一所木屋，为他们留下了一年的食物。
7.0/10。开篇就在援引Jane Austin，所以是现代彩虹版Pride and Prejudice没错啦，drama满满，表演有时候略微做作，但也确实会有共鸣。有些美好大概只能出现在文学和电影电视剧里，而不会在这个圈子里吧。Howie可爱。
之前在吉野贤治的书里就听说了fire island，就像LGBT的乌托邦。有生之年一定要去一次，体验一次完完全全做回自我的感觉。
