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'.

Happy Birthday Jon！（结尾桑德海姆本人声演的电话留言那段，结合前不久他的离世，我哭唧唧，有种时空交织在一起的奇妙感觉
怎么才能知道自己可以呢？在经过了那么多的困难、打击之后，怎么才能知道自己的梦想会成真呢，没人知道，但是坚持到最后的人，他更值得去得到吧。和朋友在餐厅那番谈话，其实觉得是最有触动的，到了一个年纪的人，他总要决定，自己是曾经端过餐盘的作家，还是只是一个有着爱好和梦想的服务员。
加菲尔德在这里跟个老太太一样。
没了解过背后故事也能好好看的电影～
也是合集啊 那没什么看的了 应该第二季马上也要出了
故事简单之极，为什么还需要旁白？因为真人真事改编。确实，全篇唯一倚仗的就是真人真事改编了。感情线尤其稀碎。
有落俗套之处但也有感同身受之处，加菲自我突破歌舞片蛮成功，全片热血也悲伤，歌曲确实很普通，但导演通过一部电影纪念乔纳森已值得敬佩，致敬梦想致敬追梦者。
Artists are assholes... 结构和音乐都很喜欢，卡司也棒，加菲演得太自然了，长胖了还有点萌。哈金斯太惊艳了，《歌舞青春》这都多少年了，还这么光彩夺目，只要她出现在镜头里我就移不开眼睛，开口就是当年的金嗓子，绝了。
就是get不到那么高的评价啊，听下来也没有印象深刻的歌，哈哈哈。
7.5分。电影没那么完美，但还是让我共情了。开始看得有点迷惑，看到后面才明白是主角的同名话剧讲述自己第一部音乐剧诞生和失败的过程，话剧和现实形成鲜明的对比。失败过后继续努力写下去，在功成名就的前一天突然死去，真是悲剧人生。(最后加菲那笑容让人难过……想到原型的人生……)
后疫情时代宽街的一种新尝试！林巨巨YYDS！加菲意外的惊喜！
终于看到一部94届奥斯卡不垮的了。凡妮莎·哈金斯唱的一首歌还是不错的。
有点失望。歌很好听，而且和声比较丰富，虽没有专门的合唱歌曲那么复杂的声部，但听感还是比迪士尼以及大部分话语音乐剧要立体。
还行。非常强的theater kid风。就看你接不接受这个风格了。但良心话，这片的CG做得太丑了…
像没有很喜欢rent一样，也没有很喜欢这个电影，只觉得嘈杂...有的歌还不错，安加菲也老了...
我爱《鬼灭》，最爱的就是日本古代独有的阴冷的夜叉风格。但是看看柱众会议，一个个什么样，连粉头萝莉都出来了，完全没有了原本的大和风，反倒有了一丝现代都市风。
3.5。後半段真正意義上擺脫了音樂劇形式的束縛，開始了真正的影視化改編。但此處的「真正」也僅指分鏡層面，畢竟對彼時政治氛圍和社會環境的描摹極為不足，導致本就不多的現實感「折上加折」。雖然以創作者個體視角切入本身並無問題，只是在現在這個年代用小切口談《吉屋出租》，多少有些浪費題材了。
這部戲激不起我内心絲毫漣漪。。。可能是題材hit不到我吧。
传记片嘛，四平八稳是基本面。其实更像马戏之王，而不是拉拉蓝【当然肯定最喜欢拉拉蓝】。所以，觉得还是很不错啦，会有很深的感动，歌也有好听的，足矣。
听说是tv抽的合集 那就标记一下（怕看重复了哈哈哈哈哈哈！）tv22-26
