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'.

洞里每天都在往未知探索，洞外老人缓慢走向死亡。结尾洞的画很妙。@11thBJIFF三里屯美嘉
剧场版消掉了下巴的黑线是听到了群众的呼声吗，原来SP都是在讲西条君为了跳好一支舞多么努力，虽然剧情比较平但是感情却很真。
拉长到电影的长度反而有些无聊了，沙雕情侣的日常才是最有趣的啊～
想起了伊能静谈喜欢安哲罗普洛斯的电影：“有些电影很安静，不用太去思考它，甚至可以一边看一边想自己的事”
绝了。每个静镜头都把色彩、光线、构图以及声音组织得那么好，尤其喜欢队员在教堂里和耶稣像一起沉睡那一幕。还有一些刻意但巧妙的对比：摩天大楼与自然洞穴，山野的明亮宽阔与洞穴的幽暗狭窄，以及最后探险的结束和生命的终止。想问：洞里的足球捡出来了吗？
7.9/10，没有一句台词，但并不妨碍观感。浪漫主义的一种，人类在自然面前的渺小和脆弱～
有点乱，但是还是很香，如果能一直拍下去。我能一直看下去。太香了，片尾曲也好听
因为看之前没有很高的期待值所以居然感觉还不错，而且今天的票价好便宜。西条高人大概是这两个月来第一个让我有点心动的男（）舞蹈制作成动漫真的没有做的很好的，CG倒是很精美。
去了舞台见面会，被广树笑到。电影还是不错的
整体感觉是完成度不错的命题作文，弗朗明戈代表相互之间的成长，情感到位了。
总体观感不错，每个人物都刻画的很鲜活，还原创了部分内容解释了蠢太为什么那么喜欢高人先生（也可能是我没看过这部分漫画），副cp也很有意思很想期待他俩之间具体的故事以及后续，也有车，我全程都是姨母笑过来的，高人先生真的好涩
西条高人作为演员那么敬业 作为恋人有那么有原则 用自己的方式深爱着对方 🥲太感人了 蠢太能与他相遇真的太好了 真的都太可爱了 小梗也很有趣 西班牙那种氛围感也有🇪🇸 只不过我倒是感觉剧情方面有点单一了 肉出现的也有些突兀 而且其他角色就只露了个脸 还有真的可以看出这是能省就省啊 好看的画面是真好看 那粗糙也是真粗糙啊 开头练舞的时候那崩化的脸和肌肉线条 我都抱着凑合看的心态了 好在后面的画面都很不错。看这架势应该还会有续集的吧
热情的舞蹈只是笨拙的示爱。不如一起跳舞，跳到精疲力竭，如同我对你的爱溢出江水。
#BJIFF 最后一部，也是本届北影节的top3。直到片尾字幕出现前都怀疑是修复后的纪录片。摄影太牛逼，真正做到了无情绪——云比山大，树比牛大，牛比人大，人和羊差不多大。花两个小时跟人探洞，无对白，无配乐，无提示，只被最后一丝探索欲（以及看看摄影还能多牛逼）牵动着，一种提纯到极致的观影体验。对情节和情绪的期待降到最低之后，最后一幕，顺着密林翻滚而下的白雾，蝼蚁般的一点人被完全笼罩，伴着死去老人的一声呼喊，屏幕一黑，仿若天启。（在那一刻被震在座位上，获得了一丝接近《镜子》的心流）
上个月看的 看完电影就又去看漫画了orz 虽然感觉跳舞的气势完全不及在漫画里表现出来的 也总是用空镜抵消跳舞动作 但大体上还是很开心地看完了
西班牙热情洋溢的弗朗明哥舞
西班牙舞跳得好尬……
啊，做好一切准备要沉浸式观影，结果给我看得这什么玩意儿 这叙事，这硬凑的剧情，没故事可以doi来补，为什么要一遍一遍尬舞，太无趣啦
跟你一起活下去的这个世界，即痛苦又幸福，但是却如此的美丽
黑暗中的光点永远是摄人心魄的。夜色里众人围观黑白电视，而我坐在漆黑的宿舍里，电脑屏幕中的光俨然也是目所能及唯一的光源，我们都是从洞中向外张望天光的人。
