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'.

这是一次「伟大复兴」，包括了罗伯特·奥尔特曼式的1990年代美国艺术电影，《不羁夜》时期的散乱叙事和有点过头的画面色调，《私恋失调》式的愚蠢甜烂畸零爱情故事。最牛逼的是Cooper Hoffman 对爹Philip Seymour Hoffman 的复活，他妈的笑起来太像了我直接看哭了。一部散漫小品确实不是巅峰PTA，但作为脑残粉能怎样呢？《记忆》之后第二部年度top3 预订，看他妈一百遍啊一百遍！！（乔治克鲁尼快带着soggy bottom boys 出来给水床唱个广告歌啊！！！
本片的靈感來源於喬治盧卡斯的《美國風情畫》和艾米海克林的《開放的美國學府》。是一部非常規的群像電影，保羅托馬斯安德森用幽默的筆觸勾勒出他心目中的七十年代:石油危机，越戰以及競選，令人這個原本屬於私人回憶的青春故事變得斑駁不堪。此片水準和同樣是保羅托馬斯安德森導演講述七十年代的群像電影《不羈夜》和相差甚遠，更像是一部光怪陸離的卡通化小品，編導有意打造的愛情主線也被零碎搶眼的配角們搶去了風頭，削弱了原本的情感力度。除去故事的零碎沉悶外，在攝影，美術以及音樂品味上依舊維持了保羅托馬斯安德森一向的高水準，尤其對懷舊音樂的引用無疑令此片通篇皆流露出一種夢幻般的復古色彩。
这是PTA的舒适圈电影啊，迷离感如《私恋失调》但影调更舒服，更是一种女性电影，当年对《私》感觉一般但非常喜欢这部。PTA的情感故事总是氛围先行，如鱼得水的精巧调度和贯穿始终的灵动配乐，复古得毫不媚俗，十足的沉浸感。一个以爱情为幌子简单的自我接受的故事，极度微妙复杂的人物心理发展被细腻捕捉，又被视听语言准确呈现，里面可圈点的小幽默小玩味太多了（全程yes的面试全场笑喷，经纪人的抽搐的脸部表演特写太到位了），观影体验愉悦。@MK2Beaubourg 1267
与之前的PTA有一些不同（我能说底味儿类似大师么）。不过他的特点（注意是特点不是优点）的部分遗失还是让我有点失望的。
不是很喜欢，太多的碎碎念，在小演员身上又少了点层次感。Alana倒车下山那一段是真的牛
黑帮部分特别好笑，后面强行煽情就奇怪了起来。打光和布景偏舞台剧，处理还蛮特别的。戏剧和“现实”的彼此穿插设计非常有意思，知道有原著参考之后这种惊叹感一下子少了一大半。
导演拍过女主的乐队的mv，女主的妈妈就是导演小学艺术课的老师，故事的灵感来自于那会儿导演对这个老师的crush... 神奇
亲朋好友齐上阵，时代怀旧彩蛋多，PTA轻轻松松随随便便玩了一票。
电影院内大家都哈哈大笑，不过看完啥也记不住。魏翔演技好，希望他能红。正好这个春节档这是唯一一部适合合家欢的喜剧片，希望能给好演员更多的机会。
三星半。麻花一贯的架空夸张风格让它以往做故事时很难建立可信情境，三谷幸喜成功的舞台式喜剧对它而言无疑是瞌睡送枕头，可无缝化用。欣喜的是，《杀手》在保留日版的互动模式（跨服聊天、以假乱真）基础上，对人物关系和视点作了集中优化，也另起炉灶提炼出更易共鸣的龙套追梦主题，节奏舒服，笑点密集，没有三俗小笑话，没强煽情也没硬上价值，是春节档看得最舒心的一部。
2022了PTA拍了一部当哈利遇见萨莉……充分尊重导演创作自由，可这是pta啊……无油卡车那段可真酷！
“还行”的唯一原因，打算去补电影中化用的经典之作了，原谅我只认出来《雨中曲》（说来还是小时候六公主播出时看过的
另外说本片政治不正确的可以去死了，借用其他网友评论，“对放大真实的70mm，还原LA的荒唐叙事不满的，就是会在莎翁剧作里加黑人主角的”
哈哈哈哈哈非常好笑！！！-I'm cooler than you. Don't forget it. -I don't need you to tell me whether I'm cool or not, old lady.
我其實真的不太能get到開心麻花的搞笑方式，全片最好笑是結尾的花絮，悲劇的內核是魏成功在發現自己被騙了之後還是裝傻說殺青然後離去，沒有這一點的話及格都到不了。。。
迷影，挺多电影梗，看出了了不起的盖茨比，雨中曲，天才白痴梦挺好听
喜欢。70年代的风，随着时代浪潮前行，一来一往的推拉真的让人心潮澎湃，像是在看那种最经典的爱情喜剧。而也时常会担心太多，比如深知他们身处于不同的年龄阶段，会有不同的目标和理应不同的生活，男女主分别做出的几个抉择都蛮有意思，能看出逞强和成熟，也能看出美好的爱本身。虽然只是短短的几个月，也值得一个HAPPY END，最后真的太快乐太快乐了，像是要融化在风里。4.5归5。
三星半。再没有多少事，比青春年少随心所欲的奔跑更让人羡慕。过了那个年岁，人们奔跑就只是为了健身，不再有漫长的夏夜空旷的街道，和一定要用跑、用狠狠拥抱去见的人了。
丑男丑女也就算了，年龄差距也不是啥新鲜事儿，这种故事有什么可以拿出来演绎的，都是各种无聊的破事儿，所谓的创业就像儿戏。比《吸大麻的孩子》差出十条街。也就61岁的西恩·潘那场戏值得一看，库珀出来几分钟演了个啥。奥斯卡越来越三流。4
并非基于年代想象的青春描写（太多同类题材依赖这种过于刻板的怀旧），而是提炼出荷尔蒙的年代故事。同时又是一部彻头彻尾的romcom. 如果说小霍夫曼的puberty刻画还比较可以预料的话，Haim 小妹的那种懵懂已过成人未满的性拉锯就非常妙了。看到评论有人说“完美结局”的，其实两人的分歧和裂痕无处不在，对待商业和政治的态度可见一斑，我觉得终究是要掰的…
