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'.

其实我很好奇，拍电影的时候演员要一脸正经满带情绪的看着对面另一个演员声情并茂的唱歌，会不会觉得尴尬？
纯粹是因为我爱的日剧男主几乎聚集在从剧才看，砂糖，小林子，瑛太。但剧情就实在。。。
妹子演的不错，林现在的形象就像是时时刻刻都是落枕的感觉。
故事情节上让一个女孩以这种方式杀掉两个男人，仍然感觉牵强。
社会福利如何保障贫困人口，不至于因没钱买食物而饿死，如何让底层老百姓有投诉的地方，如何不让僵化的制度引出无谓的人祸，而不至于做出报复个人的行为，一切都值得深思……just can’t help associating with the current Shanghai……
同样的音乐剧改编电影，整体歌曲不知道为啥没有和背景音合上……割裂感很强。而且居然用原剧歌曲做背景音，也太刻意了。
这个当时是影院看贴片预告时发现的，貌似是Broadway音乐剧改编，当时感觉蛮想看的。说真的，这个完全不适合做成音乐歌舞片，可以电影倒是，这一个妥妥的tragedy，人说着说着就唱起来了，咋回事嘛，而且理性的讲，EH也是受害者，他这么随手一个写的note，成为一个他完全不认识的陌生人的suicide trigger，而他还要假装成为他的bff，Jesus，不过说的话，电影里确实描写的不好，感觉他虽然没有利用但是他逐渐的让这个谎言扩大最终伤害了CM一家。中间双方父母对话资助那段我倒是喜欢eh妈妈的那段，那会就感觉eh有点不对劲，他有点歪了。还有，这里面AA的Cm妈妈也有点那种不舒服的感觉。比较喜欢KD演的妹妹，她真的演青春片真的好漂亮，不论是主角还是配角。
终于记住了清原果耶的脸！以及小干酱真的不是上白石家的吗，那个👀也太像了！
基本上没有什么悬疑的情节 完全能猜到结局 但正如电影名字 更想去关注那些得不到保护的人吧
电影版为了让在一个真实的房间里或者面对面唱歌不那么尴尬，加上了很多特写镜头，演唱时不得不把声音降低，情感无法很强烈地表达出来。不知道为什么电影院的杜比音效反而让有些歌听起来刺耳？像Disney+上的 Hamilton 或者 Apple TV+ 上的 Come From Away 直接拍官摄比较好。
我摩尔真是好强悍啊，她在桌前和儿子对话的那场戏，那个场景和表面的意义，基本和“窗女”是一样，她竟可以处理得截然不同，她是技巧和气度的天才，我的AA你可不可以好好学习一下，你看看你在这部戏里差成什么鬼样，这部电影她还在那个舒适区里偷懒，和摩尔对戏被全方位的碾压。这个故事太古怪了，为什么不好好的情理化一下剧本呢，因为歌舞片说的部分的剧情就只用说意思吗？
时间线的铺展和收束都恰到好处
演员的演技都没问题，剧情有点单薄，杂乱的时间线令人头秃，大结局说实话觉得有点画龙添足了。
虚假又真实，自我感动却又感动了别人，相当拧巴的一部电影，会有很多时刻不知该对这个故事投射怎样的情感，但它却又足够吸引注目，并打动人心。就像影片中埃文·汉森的演讲视频，让很多青少年产生了同感与共鸣一样，这部电影也非常适合青少年群体观看，会改变一部分孩子看待校园生活、看待家庭的观念，也会给他们带来一些支持与力量。歌舞青春固然美妙，壁花少年正在烦恼，埃文·汉森们走出角落，期待成人世界会变得更好。
气氛压抑的一部电影 当然也很符合背景下生活 人死后并不是一切都结束了 还有人会继续承载着伤痛 期许 意志.... 以及“欢迎回来”
看过音乐剧，电影还算是比较还原了。歌曲很感动，新加入的anonymous ones也很好听，让Alana这个角色更立体了。但果然每次看都觉得结尾好可惜，果然参杂了谎言的爱情无法持续吗？表面上相敬如宾，实际上连朋友都不是了。电影里Evan努力找到的Connor的歌算是小惊喜吧。
普通如白开水一般无味，可能日本人有情感共鸣会觉得好看。
我觉得电影还行啊，不知道评论为什么会这么苛刻，我觉得歌比我今年看过的歌舞片里的歌都好听，Ben Platt演得也挺好，Amandla Stenberg的角色也让人眼前一亮，更能让我这种“程度”的人感到认同。
6。”You’ll Be Found” is still touching. 剧情不太行。
剧本好歌好我觉得跟电影确实没有什么关系，归功于原作。演员也演的唱的蛮好的。看起来还是很感动。我还没看剧，单就片子来讲我最大的问题可能是觉得光/摄影不是很好看，斯坦尼康用的真是水，互联网那段设计也有点傻。其他没啥。
