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'.

求求了，国产动漫按照这个标准来吧，照着抄也行啊。
虽然牵强附会，我还是觉得：三只狐狸精就是四人帮，蛋生就是实事求是，蝗灾是除四害，老百姓家里的粮食被变没了是3y自然灾害，老虎吃人是WG。
那时的中国动画真是艺术的凝结，毫不千篇一律，故事也是禁得起一看再看，可以当作传世寓言的。
《天书奇谭》作为动画电影的绘画功底即便在今日看来依旧充满着中国特有的美学魅力，独具匠心的画风呼之欲出的是那中国文化深厚的底蕴，而于此中那天马星空的奇想，行云流水般简单却有赋有深厚寓意的神话架构，使电影由内而外皆堪为完美。
审美和隐喻一流，故事线有点无聊，结果我在半场后睡着了……对不起
意味很多
画面真不错，蛋生骂狐狸精的时候笑死我了“你不要脸！”哈哈哈哈哈哈哈。小时候看的，剧情想不起来了，这次在电影院看，觉得剧情有些平，最后结束得戛然而止。但是值得一看，片尾有一段纪录片，很不错，这部电影也是一代人的努力了。
蹦入东京梦华录~
致敬经典，这是真正的国漫之光！
长时间的等待果然不负期待，以校园风开展的无厘头推理，恶搞和荒诞的事件延续一贯风格，升华的友谊主题和精英教育的批判，又非常到位，多线交织的情况下又不会突兀，真是难得的佳作（选材真的很棒），即便野原一家的镜头不多，每每出现却让我感动万分，尤其当美伢广志看到小新跑步时的那番对话，泪已经在打转了，呜呜呜，我的新酱！！
看的时候觉得仙姑很吓人 也算是经典的国产动画了
国产，CCAV播的，记住很多奇怪的东西= =
阶级划分、精英教育、友情岔路，三位一体，本格推理。用蜡笔小新一行儿童强行嵌套了一个青春燃剧。

【8.0】#siff2019#留在记忆里就好了，这次重温的观感其实并不好，虽然我真的超爱上美了。但是，这次重看感觉叙事方面不太好，片子整体在上美的作品里也算是比较低龄的了，偏重于嘻笑打闹吧。所以留在回忆里就好～
师父宁犯天规也要培养一个天书传人，呃.....
2012.01.28心血来潮又看了一遍，经典就是经典啊～苏秀老师！毕克老师！丁建华……好多人啊！音乐也好听……
推理部分还挺有意思，但就是，没理解为啥是剧场版最佳。。。
