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'.

味很正的小妞电影，正到让我怀疑今年是不是2012年
作为一家出版公司联合首席执行官的助理，露西·赫顿（Lucy Hutton）和约书亚·坦普曼（Joshua Templeman）每天对面而坐，虽然他们彼此厌恶着对方。为了取得职业中的成功，二人开始了一场从外到内的较量与竞争，但是偶然的一次电梯事故，使二人的竞争关系发生了微妙的改变。
难得一出引人入胜的精彩好戏！看得我都有点手痒了。
Chick flick又添新成员
This is how you fall in love🥹
实在没忍住看了英字 冬天需要一些sweet deception 镜头挺美音乐也好听 挺可爱一部romcom！
看的版本翻译比较差 但是还是很好的 现实的生活 需要一些比较齁的故事让自己开心一下
很棒的美国职场爱情 美国职场战争也是明争暗斗 但是暗斗都是努力增加自己的实力 明争都是明面上斗 不喜欢的都放到明面上说 这样多好 比咱们这强多了 美国式爱情也很棒 喜欢就一触即发 能干的很快就都干了 干净利索 挺好看的 很轻松又很活跃
前面觉得还不错，后面有点儿俗套。尤其是男主辞职啥的。
睡了醒，醒了睡，说不清是我太累了还是这片真的蛮无聊的，鱼眼镜头的监狱片段视觉上很有意思，每次赢牌就要喊USA的那群人好讽刺。
简单的爱情片，适合十几二十岁的年轻人看，我是看女主脸蛋还不错才看的，她说话有时很快让我这老人家看得有点累。
让人想起PTA的处女作赌城纵横，但本质上还是保罗施拉德“孤男三部曲”的第四部，所以即便拍得不是特别好（还是视听语言武器比较匮乏），但这种一辈子就讲一个故事的创作者还是太他妈让人着迷了
男主的颜值一星，剧情真是一言难尽，女主太婊了
布列松是独一无二的，但他也开了一个坏头，至此之后，电影人把节制与高级划上了等号。影片中那些无处不在刻意营造的隐忍和冷清，低饱和的影像色调，但这使影片变成了一杯过夜的凉白开而不是无糖苏打水。
本来是两分的 然而男主弯腰抱女主的时候我该死的心动了
【3.0】观影体验其实还行，即便是架设了过于庞大的表达系统，影片也并没有给人一种虚张声势的高深状，施拉德没有刻意回避类型片观众的普遍需求。作为一个摄影的超验主义者，施拉德最大的问题是他的影像处于一种尴尬境地：无法通过影像识别作者，风格是集成化的。这种集成化体现在观众对本片的评价上，即是有人大谈布列松，而我觉得它是一部“双峰”综合征电影。
好土我好喜欢 电梯里的吻真是氛围感拉满
这片评分只有六分?算牌人虽然没有保罗施耐德前作第一归正会那般狠辣，但还是保留了其延续至今的创作理念——自杀式袭击是否能真正挽救一个人的过错以及实现社会的进步，这一点立意的阐述要比把暴力运动粉饰成平权运动的sb片妇女参政论者强太多了。除此之外，算牌人还讽刺一些无脑幼稚的青少年无法看清矛头来源(类似第一归正会和玉子讽刺极端环保主义者)。反派戈多有一句话说的没错，在这里无需要分辨黑白对错，获取一切有利于人民的利益(假借国家二字)[/狗脸]
故事讲得太晦涩了，老大哥帮小兄弟复仇，其实和赌博没一毛钱关系。
