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'.

wb上有人发了一条《爱乐之城》的石头姐遇见《倒数时刻》的加菲，还有人发了一条超凡蜘蛛加菲遇见平行宇宙Spider-Woman Gwen，感觉吃了双份的过期玻璃渣狗粮...............
虽然稍显狗血，但是很暖的大结局，看起来确实不会再有续集了！老夫人是唐顿之魂，因为她我才追到现在……卡森听到老夫人的噩耗时，出口就是李尔王，而庄园里拍电影，也是典型的戏中戏结构——英国人是有多么热爱莎士比亚！
今年最喜欢了。我也要三十了，觉得非常relate，好几首歌唱得泪流满面，也觉得好像tick tick时间不够了，但好像生活里的各方面都还没进入正轨，可不可以让一切停下，可不可以在不失去的情况下就能得到。本来看音乐剧不多，也不知道Larson的故事，听完他的人生觉得命运过于唏嘘了。电影真的很完好地把他和每个人的遗憾梦想坚持展现出来，不上院线有点可惜。ps：why does it take a disaster for things to change? 再ps：奶一口加菲冲奥要成功鸭
加菲表演还是很不错的，但是片子容易让人看不进去，尤其是前半部分。Vanessa声音真好听。
电影剧情就是套路励志片嘛，歌曲一般吧，算不上多好听。
电影中的音乐剧部分很精彩，但剧情叙事部分感觉略显乏力，显然想要把电影和音乐剧融在一起并不简单。时钟的滴答声提醒着我们流逝的光阴，也带来了对生活的焦虑，未来的生活难卜，是否还能活下去，是否还能坚持自己的梦想，是否还有机会成功……清醒过来吧，与其浑浑噩噩虚度光阴，不如真真切切活出鲜明的自己，把握住那些值得珍惜的东西，哪怕时光有限，也要在剩余的时间里为自己骄傲。
用Jon自己的音乐剧《Tick, Tick...BOOM!》改编成了他自己传记片，形式很妙。电影形式的紧迫感非常明显，LMM本就是把握节奏的一把好手。只不过感觉，好像还是情绪不够。原版《Tick, Tick...BOOM!》音乐剧live单独拎一首歌出来，都比电影里表现的情绪强烈得多。或许是因为电影有一个情绪递进的需要？还是因为加菲在唱歌的表达上不如音乐剧演员？或者是一切的表现都还过于流于形式？||给三星完全是因为在一个好片的要求上看这部有些低于预期了。但是跨到四星去的话，以这部电影的呈现感觉尚不够。
讲述了唐顿的辞旧迎新，没有冲突，也没有大反派，一切都是原来的配方（啥时候能有完整版公开啊，小火车的离职真是太突兀了
加菲表演还是很不错的，但是片子容易让人看不进去，尤其是前半部分。Vanessa声音真好听。
在得知桑德海姆逝世当天晚上在幕布上看到了60s的桑爷爷，一个暴击。Jon的歌是20岁时最爱，桑爷的则年纪越大越能体会，所以他们一个永远在30+，一个桃李满堂年年大寿。愿天堂永远有波希米亚人和小夜曲。
tick tick tick……每个人的人生都在钟表的滴嗒声下缓缓流逝，面对着年龄的不断增长，物是人非的感慨，焦虑不安油然而生，但焦虑不等同于畏惧，不等于停滞，而是更应该在tick tick 的滴嗒声中追求
也不只是国内有年龄焦虑要三十而立结婚生子，还是不要太逼自己在什么时间点之前扬名立万的好吧，电影原型后来的作品被认可但他三十五岁生病死掉了都没看见自己的成绩。电影是很可以引起浑浑噩噩的三十岁人的共鸣，什么时候能看到希望呀？可是加菲唱歌不太好诶。。。
庄园里拍戏中戏。老祖母去世，新生命诞生。
就像是回老家拜访老邻居，聊聊天说说话，看看这几年他们过的好不好，那时候还在地上蹒跚学步的小孩有没有长高，家里老人身体是不是还硬朗。。。
肉眼可见的那种好看，时刻感受着扑面而来的热爱与执着，生活与事业，友情和爱情，相互对照彰显出「人生处处是舞台」的真谛，歌舞不错，加菲表演出彩。
虽然稍显狗血，但是很暖的大结局，看起来确实不会再有续集了！老夫人是唐顿之魂，因为她我才追到现在……卡森听到老夫人的噩耗时，出口就是李尔王，而庄园里拍电影，也是典型的戏中戏结构——英国人是有多么热爱莎士比亚！
剧情主线单薄，剧中剧的表现形式有帮助避短但效果有限；加菲很努力但这片像音乐剧的感觉还是大大重于像电影，他也像在演剧而不是电影。
老夫人去世，临死还来了一个桃花事件，额外得到一棟法国的别墅，主人心甘情愿给。玛丽参与电影制作了，剧情没有1好玩
即使剧情老套而鸡汤而且舞台剧风格还是太明显，但这完美的音乐和加菲惊艳的表演还是不免让人忘却一切缺点。拥抱音乐与感动
歌曲的旋律不错，但歌词更像口水歌，至于人物原型，由于对舞台剧零认识，艺术家的悲歌，作品都是创作者死后才能发扬光大，身价倍增，因为已绝迹！
