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'.

771 没有想象中的闷，35+年龄段还是能接受的，包括手法、表达内容等，代入感已经不是很强。
前半小时破碎、交错的形式，很适合用来展现混乱和翻滚的欲望，但和过快过密的对白一同阻碍了情感的融入。
提及文学，以及电影本身，但没有选择利用两者制造年代感、辅助叙事或营造虚幻如梦的氛围
先打分（对不住太累了中间睡着了）（估计看完魏玛那本书得再看一遍）
人生是荒诞的 用力的 柔软的 感人的 你我之间的
20220618.三个小时，支离破碎，恍恍惚惚。。
私心加半星 一首长达三个小时的诗 这部里的希林好可爱 文学的赞歌也是柏林的侧写 过去的事情印透在现代的纸背上 细节很美 但也虚空
6/10。格拉夫超负荷的技法堆叠在观众未了解情况前就轰得人晕头转向，一开场地铁站内游弋的长镜头沿着楼梯扶摇直上，视线摇摆向倚栏休息的法比安，被一个戴礼帽、面孔被战争摧毁的男人搭话，其瞬息万变的影像和战争阴云勾勒出法比安所处的社会环境。混合着分屏、跳切和家庭录像画面的蒙太奇，失序的视觉节奏与人物内心交叠，法比安内心的体面使他无法顺应动荡的时局做出行动上的回应，他为卷烟厂写广告词，因精益求精效率低下而遭解雇，好友拉布德尽管对启蒙文学家莱辛见地卓越，却因大学中一个拒绝论文的愚蠢玩笑而轻生，这显示出知识分子清醒又脆弱无力的性格悲剧，他们在歌舞厅、啤酒馆的享乐主义氛围中消极沉沦，当法比安终于有所作为，下水救人却把自己淹死后，纳粹反犹的广播内容和焚书的劫焰暗示：纳粹统治下知识分子的良知和行为终究会倒持干戈。
1931的德国是一种山雨欲来的氛围，经济不景气，一战的阴影还没有消失，纳粹就又要崛起了，Labude的命运伴随着迷离彷徨走向毁灭，Fabian的爱情是这其中的亮色（这三个主演都好喜欢，希林真是越发好看了）
自由却凌乱的摄影机，镜头质感和剪辑多样到不太像是德国电影。想要拍社会环境下的个人史诗，却有点在炫技中迷失了重点
终于又看到这样的电影，哭了但心里开心多了。舞台独白，朋友自杀却留信劝他写作，电话互诉衷肠。不喜欢这个结局，但他不必再看另一场战争了。
入耳前曲高和寡，入耳后流连忘返。模糊现实，倒转舞台，破碎撕裂的影像素材与蔓延翻滚的人物关系合奏出一场摇滚交响，如激流金属与无规律民谣的碰撞。时代坍缩为可供自由出入的交错隧道，人物不再委身于此，而是时刻寻找着破壁而出的可能，以抵达那些不以时空为转移的终极命题，关于爱情、理想以及死亡。
He Was A Friend Of Mine
这周还挺有意义，把鬼灭的漫画全都看完了，哭死，真的哭死。很久没有这么纯粹地受到感动了。想要有能力守护别人，也希望能被人真心守护。
真的有必要3个小时吗？叙事非常值得研究。前半小时更像是发泄，但才华洋溢。后面两个多小时就是喜欢叙事，又拖沓又无趣。但还是蛮值得研究的文本。
每一个镜头都是美丽的碎诗，每一句对白都是渴望中的破灭，每一个人物都是注定的悲剧，而这是人生的必然。但可以在最快乐的时刻意外死亡，如同布拉格之恋中的托马斯和特瑞莎，如同刺猬的优雅中的女门房，何尝不是生命绽放的意义？5星推荐，法比安。
日本动画，动作片，奇幻 挺好看的，有趣挺推荐的
拍的还可以，从TV剪辑的～这部比较平淡一些～
忽然被抛进大千世界，无数波浪从四面向我们袭来，
“我们重新再认识一次吧，那也许是新的开始。”
