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'.

即使世界只有一种通用语言，说出口的爱还是会被误解。
恋人之间的莫名其妙。我生日比男主早几天，今年也看了日出。
倒放的话 才知道我们是这样走散了呀。可是开头的时候 我们怎样都快乐。《地球之夜》的穿插也很可爱，比《花束般的恋爱》更现实和收敛。
好像讲了些什么，又好像没有，生活就是这样平淡中透着一点温馨，这种风格我喜欢
有可能成为我的"年度十佳"
#看的不是特别认真，居然是冰淇淋和雨声的导演，完全风格不同，这部很稳，一点不躁，女主真是太可爱，嗓音有股魔力…磁场相同才会互相吸引，分开似乎也是必然的，感觉男主变化也挺大，没想到挺文艺，两人确实少了在一起的可能性吧。
回到恋爱终结时，很喜欢港译名，一段又一段的回忆，没有直接说明但又在回应上一个片段，全片都是对开头的“反正也不会再见面了吧”展开的，这个就是我们的结局～
也许只有在时光的回溯中，才更能感同身受地体会到相遇时的简单纯粹，恋爱时的甜蜜欢笑，冷战时的淡漠疏离，分手后的念念难忘。即使分离是我们无法改变的结局，我也会一直记得你脱口而出要求婚时的惊喜和激动，会一直记得水族馆之旅的浪漫和轻松，会一直记得你表白时的紧张和羞赧，会一直记得在小巷共舞时的兴奋和心动。那些与你有关的回忆，慢慢变成种种肌肉记忆，就像那个始终在公园长椅上等待爱妻的男人，期盼着没有意义的可能性。“我们早就不顺路了，可我还想着相遇。”
片名好：稍微想起一些。想起一些不重要的，但还是会稍微想起的，人。
#TIFF21 男女主换俩人这片票房能加一位数
黎明之前，稍微想起一些爱情桥段。打破线性时间完成对于爱情的回溯，于是结尾才会显得后劲十足。同意高赞短评说的，也许真正的情侣就是有一种说不清道不明的氛围。池松壮亮和伊藤莎莉意外地搭。喜欢幽蓝的水族馆、出租车里的告白、巷子里的共舞。8/10

比起《花束》更喜欢这部 更能让我感受到共鸣 节奏特别的慢 一点一点抓住我的心 总觉得和我很像 说话有时候很墨迹吧hahaha 好怀念水族馆 夜晚稀少人群的街道 拿着同一瓶啤酒的ふたり 在出租车上放着歌 当然也憧憬过一些..zzzz
而是她给他夹头发时的专注，牵着她下楼梯走得好快，不明觉厉的对话，和奇奇怪怪的追赶。

嗯 只是稍微想起一些 然后我们就都混入时间的浪潮里去了
生日就是一个只有自己能说“不重要啦”但是一年最期待的日子。比花束更真实细腻，爱情的逐渐消亡简单平常到甚至都不需要那个戏剧的触发点，耽溺于幸福的时候不会注意到，回过神来身边只剩所有与你有关的符号
白天看友邻写的短评太动人，晚上忍不住火速下载看了，没想到太伤了……太特么伤了……花束般的恋爱还有点凑标注点的可疑，这部真的就……太难过了……彼此有过感情的高光，只是不知道那是高光，一转眼大家都从人生上走开了，回头也没有用😭
喜欢 日期也很妙 每年今日讲完了一整个故事
片名翻得好好，的确是「稍微想起一些」。最喜欢的两场戏，一场是水族馆，另一场是在初遇夜晚的破烂街道上两人笨拙地跳起舞来。水族馆那段明明很快乐，可是为什么会觉得很怅惘呢？可能是太清楚往日不可追了。池松和伊藤相互依偎在一起，头顶是宽阔到仿佛无垠的蓝色水族馆玻璃，鱼儿在天上游来游去，地球上这一刻好像只有这两个人了。不同于以往看到出租车后座就会想起《如沐爱河》，在这部里看到伊藤在前排开着出租车驶进夜色里，应对着各式各样的乘客，我就自然而然地想起金爱烂的《那里是夜，这里有歌》。那些在出租车上听到的“永远无法知道歌名的歌曲”，就像短暂出现在生活里又不辞而别的过客。最后池松站在窗前看向暮色的几分钟画面，仿佛在说“life goes on”。好像故事可以用尾崎世界观那首歌的歌词概括。只是稍微想起一些回忆而已。
