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'.

就青春片而言，已经超出同类型片子太多了，没有特别的zz正确，只是单纯的描述青春爱而不得的遗憾，展现的淋漓尽致，很不错很难得！
本来想打四星，看好多人统一话术说营销诈骗，你们到底有没有进电影院啊?看过了谁会想到那个地方去无语，真看过的就是要夸，郝蕾张子枫母女表演的极其自然，前半段笑了好久，还有zzf真就电影脸，那鼻子我p图都不敢那么p🧐就是台湾青春片，在成长的道路上不一样全是爱情，只占一小部分，女主还是要回去学习的，还有男主好惨。还有这堆没看过就一星的评论，我就是要多打一星把你们的差评拉回来
u1s1，这CP不甜，剧情就像在拼凑，但是起码没有再只注重校园了，懂了现在的年轻人喜欢去98蹦迪了，这个值得表扬.
那你但凡明明白白给MING一个大镜头特写啊
脱下长日的假面，奔向梦幻的疆界。有多少人知道五月天的《拥抱》在正式出道前就发表在华语乐坛第一张同志专辑中了呢？陈正道显然是知道的。《拥抱》+大远景中的前任，“现在你知道我的一个秘密了”。看完好像明白了阿信为什么时隔多年再来帮他唱主题曲。盛夏光年未来，但陈正道显然摸透了审查。
小清新电影，说不上好，但却看的很开心。接受喜欢的人不喜欢你是成长的重要课题。真诚且勇敢的去面对，才是爱的意义。
通俗但共情。接受即使乖乖学习考上985、211，未来却也平凡无趣的自己。接受理想世界爱情的纯粹，生活却很难。接受再“优秀”的我，爱的人也不爱我。
前面挺好，看到了国产青春片不一样的一面，不再是什么堕胎、强奸、校暴啊什么什么乱七八糟的。张子枫和吴磊看起来挺阳光的，小幽默也恰到好处，本想着是一部不错的电影。到了中间后面好感直线下降。还是爱的人不爱我加父母离异影响高考，终将还是换汤不换药的青春片。
近几年的青春片过于雷同，难有突破因而更加狗血，导致我其实已经不太去电影院看青春片
....为什么要翘班去看两个小屁孩翘课去看音乐节呢
三星半。自然，张弛有度，甚至有点让人感受到演员即兴发挥的亲切感，还有一点直面现实的勇气，不论是直接交代的，还是间接暗示的，都不错。没记错的话，这应该也是华语青春片第一次把电子音乐纳入到人设当中吧。
陈正道算是找到了一个大陆市场可接受的方法来做个LGBT青春片，把ex作为麦格芬，完全模糊掉性别的问题再去讲青春，张子枫和吴磊放在这里都很适合这个角色。
小清新电影，说不上好，但却看的很开心。接受喜欢的人不喜欢你是成长的重要课题。真诚且勇敢的去面对，才是爱的意义。
好好一片，为什么要反转？为什么要反转？为什么要反转？虽然但是，还是有必要给五星
虽然青春很美好，但是片中校方、班主任和家长的脑子都有坑实在太不现实了，这个不接地气的青春片想要展现个啥中心思想？
复读男女：
本以为嗑不到他俩的，结果学校部分的戏份还是看得非常开心，一点也不尴尬就是国产青春题材极大的优点了！诚实的面对自己，再勇敢一点。也是我想要实现的愿望呢。（如果能更明显的表示ming是男的就好了
青春的另一面就是，你喜欢的人，很可能不喜欢你，或者说，不能喜欢你，这让我不由想到导演当年的《盛夏光年》。人物很贴，故事很妙。愿我们都能学会勇敢，勇敢去爱，勇敢面对自己。
尴尬。演技最好的是班主任，至少台词不尴尬。
轻盈小电影，晚风吻尽荷花叶，让我醉倒在池边。
