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'.

一个温暖的故事，一场意外带来的意想不到的迫降，每个小镇居民都尽力提供最好的条件给陷入恐慌的乘客们，关于爱的笑泪共存的故事。原卡yyds，女机长姐姐太帅了。
they say no man is island but island makes a man...心灵鸡汤确实很容易把人眼眶灌湿
太tm精彩了 自己像个深井冰一样坐在家里的沙发上鼓掌
2022年3月21日 我看完这个官摄的第二天 东航一架从昆明飞往广州的航班在梧州坠机 132名机组成员和乘客身亡 网传有一名乘客因故没有登上这架航班 不知道得知与死亡擦身而过的ta此时此刻是怎样的心情 可能就像911之后 所有人都知道 一切都变了
片长一小时46分钟。视觉+1，剧情没漏洞但不是特别吸引人+0.5，表演真实感+1，听觉+1，创新程度+0.5，给四星。
音乐剧+人性美总是治愈任何不开心的良药。女机长的嗓音出乎我意料，我以为会是沙哑烟嗓，结果是那么高亢清晰的声音。我想说me and sky我也可以听101遍。
世界不是孤立的，人类的悲欢可以共鸣，穆斯林是要被搜身的…
紧紧凑凑的一部剧，soon we all say goodbye
几年前在某站看过字幕组版本，官摄版本的力量感又上一层，我全程感慨“有音乐剧真好”。疫情时代，这样守望相助的故事就显得更加珍贵。非常喜欢。「Be anxious for nothing. 应当一无挂虑。」
更加真实
第一次知道这个剧是网易云推荐了一段女机长的自白的唱段，从一路成长的热血沸腾到她听到911消息的落寞，让听者也跟着一路情绪过山车。后来看了录像的完整版本也觉得小镇居民，各个乘客很可爱。守望互助大抵如此了吧。刚看到come from away开始疫情后的线下售票了，可以规划一下了！
救援物资里提前考虑到女性用品；语言不通就让我们用圣经来传达
密集的台词和唱段、动听的旋律、热闹的舞步、简洁炫目的舞美、缤纷的笑料和点到为止的感人瞬间，百老汇太强了。女机长的solo曲目Me and the Sky进入单曲循环。
在看到穆斯林男人被单独审问时 很难过 看到穆斯林男人的女儿不敢去学校时 更难过
我没想到我找了这么个政治正确的音乐剧😅😅😅😅
以911为背景，讲述发生紧急事件后“幸存者”的体验与故事。角色塑造的大多比较丰满，印象最深刻的是女机长的故事。整个舞美、故事情节、服化道都做的不错，能感受到每一位演员为这个音乐剧付出的努力。
Who doesn’t want to be an islander?
音乐剧启蒙。我在20岁接受了一种新的艺术表达方式。
9.11二十周年，当初岛上停留的旅客，机组成员和原住民给彼此带来的温暖延续到了现在，女机长的部分全剧最佳。愿战争远离我们，和平不易。
Where there’s sadness,ever joy
