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'.

所有感动的点，都来自音乐剧而不是电影😥还是看音乐剧吧
需要被看见的一直都是Evan
70/100。若不是话题选的好，很可能会拥有像《猫》一样不忍直视的成片：由音乐剧形式转化为电影形式的不可调和性使得本片让人一方面觉得感同身受，另一方面却又觉得做作尴尬，尤其是几处人物歌唱式的爆发，可能在舞台上的效果是很正确的，却在银幕上会变成无可挽回的灾难。不过幸而我们依然能在本片中看出对于青少年心理健康的关心，读出一种在颤颤巍巍中抓住希望的力量，悟出看似灰白色的生命中你可以通过拥抱周围而拥有的坚韧与执着。Ben Platt的表演更加深了这一点的呈现，可能他的年龄超标了，但是他的表演却是刚刚好的。 @2021-09-26 21:39:58
也就那样，光看电影绝对想象不到这是拿托尼奖的音乐剧。。。
better than I thought 不是很懂音乐剧和改编音乐剧etc 但是感觉Evan的歌声一直到speech那里才变得diegetic 这个设计感觉挺妙的 但总的来说欣赏不太来建立在谎言上的故事 而且Connor的可怜之处交代的不是很清楚 不清楚为什么一直到最后Evan都是阴阳脸打光 the ending is not bad tho
touching！比西区故事真诚，歌也好听好多！
这种青春校园题材的音乐剧拍成电影有种看长篇mv的感觉
为啥会有这么无聊的电影。。。真的是我近两年看过最无聊的电影
看完小声音后爱上Colton Ryan，然后搜了这部看，好喜欢sincerely me这段。
两星是给音乐的 电影本人真的难看死了 日常想念百老汇
为啥会有这么无聊的电影。。。真的是我近两年看过最无聊的电影
一年内居然能看到两部AA和摩尔阿姨的合作，冲这个就必须去看周四首映场。这个故事在各种音乐剧改编的电影里算是相对合理了，至少结尾没有强行大团圆。另外Colton Ryan怎么突然变帅了好多？
这算扑街吧哈哈哈……个人观感也没有那么惨 不过违和是太违和。 另外我虽然很欣赏某腕 但是那个歌唱成要autotune……还是应该让原版来。
202157 抱着很大的期待但还是被音乐剧改电影的先天不足打回现实 虽然还算及格 毕竟唱歌的部分没有什么翻车的地方 只是剧院天生地会更适合 所以考虑到和剧院版的对比打四星 不能理解的是把开场和部分情节改了 讲真为什么要删anybody has a map? 还有一点是布景使得影片定位很肤浅 太过于干净和空旷 明明这是一部生活气息极浓的作品啊 但整个故事没得说 平淡 平凡 但巧妙 复杂到真实 从几年前第一遍看的时候不以为然 到现在更能咀嚼出里面人物的丰满度（以Evan妈妈为最）这个剧本真的是妙 就演员来说 觉得Murfy一家人很奇怪 都不理想 想回看一下OBC版本 再差的画质我也愿意）btw我真的好喜欢Laura Dreyfuss版本的Zoe
由于没有看过音乐剧版本的，所以对这部影片的打分只能综合音乐剧元素和电影元素。作为电影，有些片段实在有点尴尬，因为就是在干唱。但作为音乐剧，很能打，音乐性自不必说，整个剧情走向看到中段时我一度怀疑它是否要走向普通音乐剧的大结局忽略最主体的矛盾，还好最后Evan Hansen仍去面对了它。结局设置的很真实，自己埋下的谎言终究要自己去解决，自己内心的恐惧也要自己去面对。Dear Evan Hansen。
治愈力满分的原作故事，改编成电影的创作发挥空间很有限，但还是很多感动的瞬间。无法不喜欢。青春片可以深入青少年自我探索，并且以匪夷所思，中二的方式展开一个关注抑郁症青少年的主旋律大暖片，触碰到观众心灵脆弱和柔软的地方，一定要听片尾曲。
不知道为啥评分这么低 电影还原度很高哇 当然还是希望有官摄 再看还是希望一个小时就应该全剧终 全都是刀 人果然是个需要自我救赎和被救赎的奇怪物种 就是为啥还看见校园里挂blm的标语？倒也不必吧这样的zzzq…
即使是个谎言也希望它是美好的，最后还是忍不住酸了鼻子。里面的歌曲还蛮好听的。

在刷了很多遍音乐剧后重看，五分钟都看不下去，确实理解为什么有那么多人失望了。。。
