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'.

画面精美音乐动听的上乘之作，流畅的动作、童话般的主线之下还展现出了反战的内核，一改往日网飞出烂片的印象。
贪心不足蛇吞象，单独颁奖给跑酷片段作画人，他们应该骑着其他制作上班
日本动画中致高感动, 就永远是少女+音乐===拯救了;
花这么多钱做啥不好...虚渊玄出来谢罪！以及与其叫泡泡不如叫水球球。。。。从泡泡到人物的美术设计都有、丑（换新海诚来画泡泡应该好看太多hhh
网飞能不能别再拍日漫了 拍的什么东西，有钱都花在刀鞘上了。
看完感觉浪费一个多小时，剧情这都讲的啥玩意儿啊，一头问号。画面一远景人物就模糊，一切近景角色就跟打了美颜滤镜一样，差别这么大真的好吗。音乐方面，一首歌用全片。全是槽点……
虽然剧情很简单，但是画面这么美！配乐这么好听！跑酷运镜这么立体机动装置！非常值得一看！
这也太土了点吧，都2022年了居然还能看到如此过时的日式二次元人设和剧情，而且不知道和细田守是中了什么邪要开始重塑日式童话，一个搞美女与野兽，一个搞人鱼公主。不过大鱼海棠也好，全明星也好，确实这个口碑滑铁卢很大的原因是前期宣传造成的，如果不是这种宣发策略这或许就是一个无人问津的烂片，但这么一搞真的太多槽点了。即便是最被称赞的跑酷戏不也就是霸权社的巨人行活儿，而最最重要的泡泡元素在片中女主身上的作画也是相当随意，同时作为爱情故事男女主之间的戏码也是过于油腻甚至接吻那场做得跟里番似的，太失望了
全都是泡沫，只一刹的花火。。故事脱身于人鱼公主、辉夜姬之类的设定，呈现出来的还是新海诚化的唯美纯爱。剧本比较无聊，但霸权社的制作还是很酷炫的～泽野弘之的配乐加上丝滑流畅的跑酷动作分镜，赏心悦目～
#是也乎,(￣▽￣)
大型mv 主要就是听个响 不要在意那些剧情
美人鱼+第三类接触，经五人之手改出的剧本，细碎也没辙。跑酷动作和泡泡特效倒是拉满，很适合在影院欣赏
不正经吐槽：不要把什么新颖的设定最后都写成俗套的故事；加长版萤火之森；不知道为什么剧中人物都对翻跟头和凌空转体有种执念；泡泡和环里面水母逻辑大概是一样的，红色的是有攻击性的；豆瓣评分这么低很明显是忘了这样的作画是什么水平了。

不过作画是真的好看
沒來由的起泡，然後破滅，再美麗也都是徒然。而我很討厭小美人魚的故事。
这个剧本实在是…但是疫情期间能看到这样一部中二华丽的跑酷动画实属开心～
用优秀的作画和演出翻拍了一遍人鱼公主，3D背动做的很好，很多复杂跑酷长镜头都处理的不错
放着这么好的末日跑酷设定，居然讲了个土的要死的爱情片……真实的感到是被骗了。花了3元巨资后我陷入了长达1个半小时的内心审问
然后, 还是化为泡沫来中和掉 泡泡...
