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'.

舞台效果满分！这舞台拍成动画比现实里省钱了不过买歌应该花了不少钱hhh 看的很开心！私心还想多看点海选hhhh
三星全给李善均的精彩表演，台词功力太强了。至于剧情，实在太理想化了。搞政治，那就是阶级斗争，是要见血的。教员早就说过：“所谓政治，就是把朋友搞得多多的，敌人搞得少少的。”看看纸牌屋与大明王朝1566，不同的策略与战术，都是功利主义的；如果这里面掺杂着大义与道德，那也是需要站在舆论制高点上发声的一种手段而已。
soso 笑点也没那么多，至于剧情开头就猜到了结尾
画面还是挺好看的，但选歌太无趣了，没有一首想看完之后听的。
潮汐全程看完非常喜欢 还经常跟着唱起来 儿子倒是有点走神 但也看完了 两个娃的第一次电影院 还是这么长的 后来经常让我放那首but I still haven’t found what I am looking for 很满足
就是说，流行口水歌放到电影里就有点老了吧。
片子的结构用了非常讨巧的办法，当然不惹人讨厌，谁会拒绝看一场电影的同时加一场演唱会呢？
发现自己真的是韩国政治片的忠实拥趸，诸如《局内人》、《黎明到来的那一天》、《南山的部长们》…即使一开始对韩国政治不了解都能死磕，跟阅读一样，那个不舒适的坎过了，接下来就能好好地欣赏导演的用心制作！就如影评中有豆友提到的，本片在故事紧张感和惊悚程度都不如《南山》，但故事原型和表达的主题不同啊，所以有它自己的特色。当然，总体上感觉《南山》技高一筹，但我喜欢本片薛景求和李善均的演出，实名要求李善均演一个作家角色！然后不知为何感觉本片颇有文艺特质，与人文气息浓厚的《兹山鱼谱》有同样的好感。最后说说本片折射的主题，我用刚刚听完看理想韦伯的音频，试着去理解或结构这些政治实践，也籍着影片理解人民力量、政治理想主义和政治力量较量等在现实世界的体现，有意思！
第一部就是看完不会记得剧情的金曲大杂烩，第二部也是。
画面漂亮，技术贼强，流行歌曲大串烧，还把Bono弄过来唱，这就算剧情硬凑了点儿也还能看下去啊……狼父女真好看，福瑞赛高!!!
第二集其实没那么差，只是第一部的套路第二部再用就让人没有新鲜感而已。 还是被这群动物所感动，不屈不挠的去达成一个根本不可能的目标，哪怕路上遇到再多阻碍再大困难，他们也没想过退缩，只是兵来将挡水来土掩，竭尽全力实现目标。 印象最深的是第一部moon剧院被毁，歌剧生涯跌倒谷底，觉得自己一无是处，愧对父亲时，还能鼓起勇气重拾父亲旧业，去大街上擦车，体会父亲的心酸，忍受别人的奚落，这种巨大落差没有人生阅历的人是不会体会的，这不仅需要莫大的忍耐力，还需要一颗永不会被摧毁永远能从零开始向目标进发的强大心脏。
电影的开头最有意思，一个智子疑邻的寓言暗示，给主角立下了人设，如剧中言“柏拉图说过为了正义的目的可以不择手段。” 双男主的交锋给本片定下的是那个改变现状政治的基调，徐在未来很长一段时间作为金云范的“影子”，起的作用十分像陈平为太祖高皇帝出谋划策，“常出奇计，世莫得闻”。
故事还行，但是整体呈现不如第一部，也不如第一部那么惊艳了，不过感染力还是很足的。
每次看这个系列都是又笑又暖，这出太空歌剧的舞美真是一流中的战斗机。
一般通过韩国商业片，为了薛景求多加一星吧。他太好看了。我觉得是一种玄亮代餐，稍微理解了一些史同姐，君君臣臣的情感好像确实是男人眼里最接近爱情类似物的东西。
其实跟第一部比起来很多部分像是快进了一样，但还是听歌就完事了。
中规中矩～没啥惊喜～欧美热歌大集合了这是～
The movie to start 2022: 不要让别人的评价成为你不努力的借口，仅以自勉。
单纯的看完哼着歌开开心心回家那种电影，舞台很炫！
好看又好欢乐，最后的表演超燃，里面的歌也太好听了，想要全部歌单。
