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'.

挺难得的，拍出了一部不像是这个时代能拍出来的作品，光影等艺术效果绝到无话可说，黑白布景也让整部片子充满了舞台剧的风格。不义的事情需要靠无尽的恶来弥补，曾经的正人君子也会受到妖言蛊惑而再也回不了头。剧本虽然陈旧，很多台词放到现在来看也不是很能读懂，但是仍然特别有戏剧张力，权力与欲望的不均衡，是这个世界永恒的议题。弗兰西斯没有被提名为这届奥斯卡的最佳女主角有点遗憾，她把麦克白夫人塑造得太有立体感了。
OH MY Troye.谁不怀念放荡不羁爱自由 敢爱敢恨的少年时代呢？！
3.7分。 虽然故事是根据莎翁名剧而改编，但在形式上确实玩出了不一样的感觉。没有在历史质感上下功夫，也没有对大场面做出过多的要求，甚至可以说，除了几个主要角色外，没有任何大场面，全是舞台化的戏剧表演方式。 但这种参照三十年代德国表现主义风格，加上极简建筑撺掇成的场景，有着浓厚的神秘质感，仿佛将人置于悬浮未知的空间。而几处远景场面的低调打光，也拍出了很不错的影像质感，这和《爱尔兰人》、《罗马》都是很不一样的黑白摄影风格。可以是，即使是为了美学上的享受，本片也值得一看。
非常不错，印度男孩的polo衫也太难看了。
《蜘蛛巢城》比这强太多了
戳爷真的好可爱好适合，又是夏天，夏天真的是青春的集合
哈哈很好看啊！虽然是小糖水、有点单薄，但总归来说很灵的，尤其戳婊婊贱贱的表现很惊喜。戳肯定成不了甜茶的，但他有点像甜茶的双子星版本，可爱
无论是影片质量还是Troye的表演，都乏善可陈。情节陈旧、散漫，那种青春的躁动和脆弱，都流于表面。可能是会不自觉的和《朱诺》多比较，所以更会多几分失望。调色ok，歌不好听。
To love. Regardless of fear.
命运的预言把我推入万丈深渊，贪婪的欲望只有罪恶才能填满。当内心爬满毒蝎，当双手浸染鲜血，啃食殆尽的自我重生出贪欲摆布的傀儡。清除一个个威胁和障碍却始终清不尽心中的恐惧和忧虑，可怖的梦魇把我纠缠束缚。相信命运的恩赐却不相信命运的掠夺，徒劳的反抗后是注定悲剧的谢幕。罪恶的尽头终是毁灭的陨落……
构图摄影不错
又一个非常cliche的故事。一星给Florida的夏天和色彩，一星给少年人直接又真诚的情绪，一星给远离病痛苦难，爱意常在的幸运
像一个大型MV，很清新很夏天，也很治愈。清新脱俗的视听中，把关于死亡，性向，爱情，亲情，友情的故事娓娓道来。青春就是会经历一些伤痛的时刻，这样才能成长。当被置于死地，等待着幸福来敲门时，别忘了要握紧拳头随时准备出击的等待。
8分，表演出色，制作精美，摄影尤其出彩，科恩对情绪和气氛的把控深得我心
虽然片名上做了改动，但剧本其实是极为正统的莎翁剧作，所以试图从本片中解读出更多释义是困难的。影像风格可能是与之前几部麦克白电影最大的区别：荒野和室内景大量采用对称式构图；走廊上的门洞光影恰如一排剑阵；奇幻与现实无缝衔接；黑白摄影的另一个优点是弱化了肤色的差异，所以黑麦也显得不那么违和了。
用现实生活中的建筑材料来模仿舞台上的效果，有点像《歧路旅人》这种用精美的3d画面模仿2d的游戏。看了一半开了中文字幕，因为真的听不懂。
比起纯粹俩男天天就腻在一起谈恋爱，亲亲抱抱，吃醋撒娇的，更喜欢这样的同性片
颜值巅峰，且小作精也没那么作了。然而加了动作依然是无效NC我甚至都要佩服这一对了……
戳爷太美了🥺🥺🥺多接这种讨喜的剧本吧呜呜呜呜。有歌听有颜看，还要什么？
好明媚的夏天，好明媚的感情啊！
