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'.

虽然搞不太清楚什么情况，但我先放个5⭐在这里
赞同Monica对RR戏外crush的态度，rps对于长篇作品未必是好事。“我们把对彼此的感情倾注在Ross & Rachel角色身上”感谢两位如此温柔又理智的处理方式，17年后大家仍能相对而坐笑笑闹闹追忆似水年华——还是好朋友，比爱人长久
每个人都成长为了大人，每个人都把自己对他人想说的话说了出来，也都学会了去爱这个新的世界.
本来沮丧的心情被这集治愈了，能看到六个人重聚在一起真好
大家的容貌有所变化，必经岁月败美人，但是读台词时过去与现在的无缝衔接，能告诉我们他们之所以能演的如此之好，是因为演的都是自己。
我总觉得制作组应该给他们再设计一些iintimate的聊天环境，例如重玩问答的部分至少也应该多放一些内容，《老友记》那么多素材，多设计一些桥段应该不成问题。大家私下的感情是那么深厚，在片场的记忆是那么宝贵，总觉得应该能采访的内容更多。加上并不是所有演员的性格都是张扬的，马修派瑞明显就还没进入状态，总感觉大家都还没完全放松下来就拍完了。T_T
第一季时角色们的设定是24-26岁，现在过了那个年纪，才发觉那是人生最灿烂的最合适留下美好记忆的日子
大家都容颜老去。有一天去cvs的时候，店里放着friends主题歌，好像这部剧要等我们这代人死了才会消失。
结局可谓圆满，但我还是选 tv26+旧剧场版+retake。四部连看，明显感受到机体巨大感的逐渐消失。
"We know."
2021年的Phoebe会上传线上音乐课程吗
Lady Gaga感谢Lisa Kudrow的段落，是让我第一次感受到一个人真的可以改变另一个人一生的段落。以怪人为榜样，成为一个怪人，并赢得别人的尊重，这就是真正的成功和自由。然而不幸的是这段在国内版里被阉割了，哈哈哈
至今看了10遍有余老友记，对我影响最大的美剧没有之一
好看與否已是其次，庵野秀明這一筆總算叫眾人放下。最後的福音戰士，象徵一個時代的終結。
节目如果能做成「漏网之鱼」花絮合集就好了，几个演员凑在一起，无论私下感情怎么样都会在这时显得有一些不自在，因为大家都彼此心知肚明：its a show，所以大家也知道观众想看什么，都朝着那个方向说话行动了，为什么要反复放这些年最不敢面对的最后一镜，真的是故意虐杀我的，整个暴哭！
以前我妈问我为什么看得一直笑，昨天我女问我为什么看得一直哭……
17年后……最重要的主角是时间。因为每个观众都在寻找时间的痕迹，他们六个人也在彼此辨认变化。美好的昨日，因为过去了而美好。当我们围炉畅谈，旧日重来。跟着哭的人啊，不是纪念这部剧的笑话，而是怀念那时候笑了的自己。
另一个平行空间，Joey已如愿以偿在威尼斯海滩卖三明治
鸡皮疙瘩一身接着一身，眼泪像不属于我一样乱涌，好好，就好好。最狂热、刷了一遍又一遍的那个夏天，进入大学回归学业生活后有天看到幕后他们不合和不聚的传闻挺难受的，特辑出现前还有过不少担忧都不太敢看，没想到这么感动。Ross和Rachael竟然这么真我哦哦哦哦了。
一个90后跟我说，friends是不是美国版的《爱情公寓》🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚
