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'.

倒数第二场戏之前两星，问题不在于舞台设计有多么简陋，而是每个主要演员都拥有两个及以上的核心角色，导致本就停留太短的情绪根本没有渲染的空间，故事的阴暗面也被简单略过，直到最后才能感受到那种被历史车轮碾过的无力感，也与当下产生了共振。
Something has changed, something has remained, something we lost, something we gained, while something we've never truly learned… Peace&love或许可笑，但它存在过，也将一直存在。
这是疫情前最后一张票，也是疫情来临第一场被取消的票。
People want different things. 喜欢这个设定，这个流动的关系，有人认真听你说话，有人欣赏你尊重你。
疫情前看的最後一部音樂劇，緊湊又聰明的結構。最愛On the Bus。
这真的很可爱啊，虽然绝对会有很多争议，不过也正是因为还不错到需要寄予厚望。有些问题被提出已经值得夸奖了，哪怕2022了
真好，真温柔。
911二十周年，纽芬兰小岛上来自远方的人们，没什么记忆点的歌，女机长的solo曲最好听，剧情也就是传统鸡汤风格不太能打动内心，官摄拍得挺好的。
对话写得蛮好，但是男主的角色设定不太合理，被忽视的原生家庭下真的能塑造出这样耐心且愿意聆听的性格吗……P. S这不就是提供性服务的心理咨询师吗……
Apple TV選擇911的20週年上映，很明智。再看一遍，很加拿大。很多元，很雞湯，很人性。All we need is love
这是一具躯体，年轻或衰老，健壮或瘦弱或肥胖。
形式与类型：话剧电影，性喜剧。私密、勇气、新身份以及心底的缺角。面对内心是一种勇气。
再好再温柔的男菩萨也有不能触碰的软肋，与此同时，再苍老再固执的身体也可以入驻一颗年轻自由的心脏，正视自己，才能灵肉合一，只是及时行乐的性，彼此理解的真诚，这一切也都必须在进一步了解前将其阻断。小成本，但内容够，Emma Thompson演绎这个角色，自然得心应手，年下应召男也很优秀。
4.4/支持所有女性性解放（性解放不等于性开放，望周知。）更支持她们都可以在最简单直接的方式中拥有自己的快乐。这剧本真的太会了，演员更是十分到位，一间小小的房间把所有复杂的东西都呈现了出来，艾玛婶真的棒的。但是请放心，这并不是鸭的平均水平，一个足够好称得上足够贵的价格的鸭，至少也是一个好的心理咨询师。「也许比起你年轻时的貌美，更有人爱你备受岁月‘摧残’的容颜」
这部电影证明了我自己是一个卓越的女性。我的宝贝儿会是那个他吗？
其实我从来恐惧的是生理性智力的衰退
Find your pleasure.and honor it .我爱最后一幕，Nancy对着镜子满足自己后，那张绯红的脸。肉体间的肝胆相照，是一种救赎。
只能说 又是一部不可能被我们拍出来的电影！全片靠高密度的对白撑起 却一点不觉得冗长无聊 可见编剧功底已是登峰造极 再想到我们那尴尬的台词 出戏的演技 祝你好运 国产电影
CFA在我这里的位置很尴尬，甚至我觉得它有些外百老汇了。为了me and the sky还是加一星。
咋说呢就是一些奔三女追爱豆把刚20的小男孩叫老公的追星女（比如我）就会看一些55岁在嫖20男的电影抵消一下罪恶感【不是
