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'.

一大早冲去电影院刷了两次，我个人还挺喜欢的哈哈，虽然刚刚看见很多人说不喜欢，我感觉是跟自己的期待不一样吧。
还是挺不错的~女主角演技很不错~表情会说话~
剧情有一种说不上来的别扭，三星不能再多，多的一颗给库库鲁斯·多安。
*最后还得说一下逃跑的山羊把凯爷几个人沙穿了真的有点搞，什么叫白色恶魔啊（战术后仰
事先就知道风评很差 所以降低了期待值 结果自己的观感还是不错的 反战的内核很光头 细腻的笔触很安彦 像是披着高达外皮的吉卜力田园乌托邦片 尽管节奏确实有些急人 孩子们确实聒噪了点 不过都还能忍 战斗戏码也不算偷懒 外加美如画的作画 还是值得一看
特别美好的一部电影，讲的是在藏区支教的故事。推荐给uu们看一看！
能明白安彦为什么会选这一部作为其高达最终作，这故事完全是高达背景下的吉卜力童话，表达了高达反战的核心；阿姆罗“白色恶魔”捅驾驶舱踩驾驶员；南十字星的人物刻画太过刻板单薄；可惜是安彦的高达绝唱了
容观藑先生说过少民电影创作的两张皮，其一是艺术工作者对民族学和民俗研究知识的却是，导致胡乱的文化挪用，第二张皮是视觉人类学工作者缺乏对基础影视拍摄的训练，导致影响民族志作品缺乏美感和哲学深度。那么这里可以扩展到第三张皮，话语生产者（哪一个群体不言自明）对前脱贫时间节点前后的边疆少数民族群体的野蛮化（barbarianizing），导致了脱离情境的绝对化虚假的虚构（不光是所谓的给定的现实，更是脱离了合理化想象的最底层要求），使话语生产者又回到提供教化和归化的“蛮夷之辩”的意识形态高地上（教孩子刷牙）……荒谬至极，又愚蠢至极，成了受到了“欲望-影像”的角色化与叙事模式，只不过欲望不是内在复杂性，而是被某个不可言说的“大他者”所赋予。这是智力正常的藏人的“愚者失乐园”。最后硬排成狗血扶贫年代剧。
4/10. 看完了，对人物的塑造真的很上世纪味(褒贬义并有)，至于岛原来就几个人一下子变20个，姑且不论合理与否，制作组高兴就好。 我的感想是内容很水+偶尔那那点情怀片段来填充，两倍速看的都嫌慢，把时长对半砍的效果应该会稍微好些许...... 萝卜打戏也不好看。
这片子在日本失败是显而易见的，完全跟现在流行的战争都是错的，吉翁军中下层是热血男儿，只有领导层是坏的的套路相反。竟然还有人说这片子是舔美国，简直笑死我了。现在流行的都是双方都不是好人，侵略者也是有苦衷的，杀人只是服从命令。被侵略的一方都是腐败分子活该被打之类的洗白日本的作品充斥着如今的东瀛动画界。了解过安彦良和的人都知道这是个铁杆左派，搞学生运动进局子那种。他职业生涯的最后一部作品亲自做导演当然是反应自己的理念，从这个角度入手你会发现这片子内容上是对现在充斥着右派的日本动画界的嘲讽。
一部聚焦偏远地区教育题材的电影，一部直击人心的真实电影，一个小人物的英雄式坚持，艺术与真实。
“教育改变命运”在这里不是一句口号，是实实在在在发生的事。
一直对青藏高原有一种向往，这是一个难得的好剧！
很多人从小城镇走向大城市，很少有人从大城市走向小城镇，并且一直留下来，韩老师很伟大。藏区的生活条件虽然很艰苦，但是孩子们都很纯真，拥有一颗美好善良的心，这很难得。虽然故事情节很简单，但是蓝蓝的天，白白的云，青青的草地和淳朴的人情，却直击人的内心～
题材很新颖，不像其他的片子很假，很真实的提现了支教生活，导演厉害
强烈推荐的一部好电影。看了好几遍，电影内容真实温馨感人，贴近生活，所有演员的表演都十分到位，这是一部用了心的电影，值得推荐和支持。
该骂骂完，说说喜欢的：
一部聚焦偏远地区教育题材的电影.一部直击人心的真实电影，一个小人物的英雄式坚持，艺术与真实。
一如既往的反战内核，现代的信息化与原子化让花朵儿未必都晓得战争的残酷，当然电影里库库鲁斯·多安才是主标题，而高达是副标题，马克贝的那句“巴黎在燃烧吗？”非常应景。最后要提一句那顶吉翁帽子看着就不适，虽晓得那是吉翁设定如此，也与角色无关，但那帽子真他妈看不顺眼啊！
一架扎古Ⅰ开得风生水起，夏亚也就这样了吧。
