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'.

热血的青春男子们啊，就应该这样一股脑冲劲儿去做那件不可能的事，那件听着很娘的事，那件不被别人理解的事，那件没人支持的事！
和日版相比，最大的问题是本来应该开朗活泼的青少年总是给人苦大仇深的感觉，虽然我其实是不习惯日式表演里的肢体和语言的夸张风格，但人家好歹是在灿烂的笑在感染你，也许是我们的青年演员都太过社会了吧，很多自然而然的东西都丢失了。在尊重原著的基础上进行了最大程度的本土化，这点上还是值得肯定的，而且在对于花样游泳的学习中也比日式的误打误撞好很多。不过还是那句话，把青春还给青春，青年演员多点青春的味道才是最重要的。
真正的东京爱情故事。两个文艺基层打工人无疾而终但甜蜜浪漫的恋爱回忆。池松壮亮和伊藤沙莉在电影里面都演得极其自然，就像真的恋人一般。比起坂元裕二《花束般恋爱》略显造作的豆瓣友邻之恋，个人更喜欢松居大悟这段颓丧但快乐的失恋回忆
日本人拍这种伤感爱情故事，拍人与人之间的关系和断联，总是不断给人惊喜。
故事有点薄弱。但题材新颖。拍的青春励志幽默。七分半。
的确，无论是应试教育还是男性气质的议题在片中都亦像是在兜圈，从中出，又从不同方向回，不过与出发时不同的是，回是带着口号而回的。
结构上过于工整甚至想要冲进去挤碎那一天的边界，频繁会在这出戏。但是池松壮亮包括这个角色也太招人喜欢了吧……能不能跟我谈一下啊（
爽！非常漫画式的热血青春片，在国庆档另外两部的衬托下这部欢乐多了！虽然剧情上问题不少，但是难以掩盖其满满的青春活力，是那种会让人感觉「年轻真好」的片子！
没有大咖，没有明星，但是有真青春，真热血，真运动！搞笑也是满满的。虽然整体比较传统的故事，但是能讲好也不容易~节奏很好，听说是匹黑马特意来看~好久没看到这种看得下去的运动青春片。
#2022.115#不可错过的国产青春片，很热血
7分。原来整个男子花样游泳队都有社交牛逼症啊哈哈。我觉得还挺好的，青春片就应该这么拍。还有片尾曲很好听。
正如结尾在小酒馆发呆的照生或者在阳台看着落日的葉，当作为媒介的回忆不断把两人向后拉入想象与历史中，那些凝固在心中的结痂便能重新以别样的方式现身，比如人的姿态，比如空间的转化与继承。但是人物始终是向前运动的，与其说这是以电影顺序为基准的排列，倒不如将其视为以人物为圆心向外辐射出去的光线，朝着更坚定更稳固的身份与状态延伸，就像苦苦等待从未来而来的妻子的ジュン（却被迫与过去的妻子样貌汇合），或者乐队主唱和照生在不同时空内（以暗示某种线索般的方式）被彼此分辨，此时东京以科幻片模板被重组，现在同时被多重时空延续着。但在这个节点上，被包围被凝视被向往的远方是朝向前还是后，亦或是在引导一次更为吊诡的流浪，无人知晓。松居大悟X池松壮亮果然是绝杀。
差点错过，在豆红狂轰滥炸的推荐下，终于白嫖了5个扑水的少年，本来打算是花16块去看的，我还在算16/5，每个少年时3块2，后来别人告诉我，其实结尾是好几十个扑水的少年，这下真是算不过来了，想着不嫖真是亏大了。 确实如有人所讲的那样是有作者性的，哪吒、航天员、受伤、椅子、物理题的意指构成了这部电影的一部分东西，体育老师这个角色很有意思，也许指向了某种缺乏或缺失。两次都是后勤老师解决了体育老师没法解决的问题。 剧情衔接处逻辑漏洞过大，剧情像是被切成一小块一小块的，观众成了情绪被操控的机器，过燃过热血其实有点太顶了。
挺好看的，有笑有热血，剧本终于扣住了电影套路，没有搞成乱七八糟。虽然有的地方挺尴尬的，但是整体来看在国产同类电影（青春，竞技，喜剧，等）里也算很难得了吧。。。
还是很有感染力的翻拍，青春，热血，中二，很怀念。
【4.5】这一次是影像气质上的取胜，选角极妙。想起了《鸟唱》《花恋》和《驾驶我的车》。后疫情时代的追忆潸然，东京青年的现代性情感苦闷通过溯洄的时间流追思，爱情是什么？言语的意义？在浮躁疫情和动乱社会的阴霾之下，通过夜色和东京街景回望地球上的幻梦之夜。日出时让恋爱终结，稍微想起一些…
今天看了三部青春片，还就扑水不错。虽然五个男孩难免脸谱化，好在青春感十足，而且对校园男孩的状态呈现也比较真实，会让人想念青春。看完我都想去学花游了，我得从给游泳圈吹气开始练起。
《五个扑水的少年》
6.9/挺可爱的故事，就是后面的花手有点尬，演员很努力，演技在线，三星半。哎，男性的颂歌啊…
市场需要多样化的类型片 阳光正面励志 个人非常喜欢 导演的视听呈现也是审美在线
