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'.

谨慎选择观看“灾难喜剧”，因为逻辑全都下线了。
两颗星给阵容团队，其他都是扯淡，尤其是剧情设定
等了那么久，开场男主的那滴泪我就知道这戏八成黄了。。。。但没想到的是，这简直是史诗级的灾难电影。
挺好看的。独白的形式更能让人体会到anne的聪慧。简奥斯汀的书对女主的塑造真的太厉害了！伊丽莎白那样的艾玛那样的anne这样的每一个都让人好喜欢啊
2星不能再多了，太失望太闹心了，看了看大家的吐槽，基本都是和我感受一致就不多吐了，女主不是原著中我心中的女主，男主……那一副不太聪明的样子……完全是因为演的差！表情僵硬，口齿不清，这个台词底子还来演简姨？前有当年让我魂牵梦绕的RPJ的Wentworth在先，真让没看男主就如坐针毡 如鲠在喉 如……，就是摄影啊风景啊让我能安慰着自己看完了
……低配且一点都不好笑的fleabag版《劝导》。天雷滚滚的魔改剧。让我心理、生理都严重不适。一开始看预告片就感觉是，导演要重现新版Emma的成功，那好高饱和度的马克龙棒棒糖画风。单单只看了开头几分钟，就觉得亵渎了名著。编剧为了迎合市场or为了zzzq，竟然让教母拉塞尔夫人、妹妹玛丽的夫家还有本威克上校都成了黑人。更别说那现代风的服化道，一点都不走心。男主不好看。女主确实有时候演出了她年华已逝的凋零憔悴，但那自嘲戏谑fleabag式表现形式真的让人很难受。全片、全员都在OOC。
一般。前面铺垫太长了（在这个铺垫当中也继续在插入韩国的一些社会现象，考公、买房、职场关系）但是整个故事感觉有点普通，强行煽情。楼塌下来小孩竟然没事也是有点点离谱……就也不怎么好笑也不怎么灾难……黄色潜水艇那一段虽然cue了披头士但是还是🤏离谱……
我小时候看这类影片的时候，演员都是英国白人。这和政治正确没什么关系，就是喜欢的就是这种风格而已啊…而现在的演员既不帅也不英伦，口音肤色还五花八门😂
不好看，剧情真的很俗套，看到女主基本就能猜到结局了，这么好看的地方，导演也并没有把镜头放在托斯卡纳的美景上，所以无论剧情还是画面都很一般，结婚前男女主还能做事有点刷新三观。
相当一般。5，Maybe 4。远不如Sally Hawkins的版本。达妹挺漂亮的，头一次get到了她的脸，但是她的聪明劲儿对于Anne来说太外露了，从头到尾太从容太独立，这使得故事的由头，她接受劝导拒绝Wentworth的求婚显得完全没有说服力。男主表演灾难级别，完全看不出他对Anne念念不忘，面瘫演完全程，眼神里丝毫没有情绪。Persuasion是我最喜欢的Jane Austen books，男主和女主都不对头，这部电影就毁了一半，更别提其他现代化改编了。
本片最大的亮点就是独白部分对Jane Austen大段大段的引用
这就是为什么我恨奈飞……………………最最心爱的劝导就这么被糟蹋了！我在十五分钟看到DJ举着一整根芦笋在啃就应该关掉！！！2022年也不兴这样！
看了半个钟实在是太婆妈太无聊，翻开短视频，5分钟就看完了。真香。

电影把托斯卡拉风格的元素全部在影片中一一展现，从意大利菜品上，庄园的建筑上，婚礼的布置上，房间的装修上，甚至从编剧的角度，选择演员的角度多多少少融入一种托斯卡拉风格。虽然从爱情剧角度来说，没有那么多感动，没有那么多缘分，不会让人心情澎湃，但是恰恰是这份简单的情感，配合乡村感的氛围烘托，更彰显优雅。本片适合慢慢看。
对奥斯汀原著毫无了解，感觉看到最后小半前也还不错，built up了美味精彩狗血后结局很容易就显的太随意了（。男主还差点，达妹太美啦！！强行给达妹加到四星吧就😽😽😽
我全程“哦莫原来还可以这么改编/笑死哈哈哈/好尬哈哈哈哈”。可以说和原著没有关联，只是借个皮囊（安本身是plain and obscurity and firm，善于观察的人，而温也同样坚定，对自我道德足够坚守，对待不同的人坚持不同的方式）。因为删去了很多线（我最喜欢安和Smith！）所以让这两个人物过于悬浮。但另一方面或许也无需执着于原著了，要重新思考“现代版改编”的意义，安时不时的“打破第四堵墙”一方面很fleabag很新潮也很搞笑，但另一方面总觉得很突兀很奇怪。感觉剧本还是太草率了，没有打磨过对话。最后安边读信边流泪真的灾难。
达妹口音太糟糕了 这版选角更是乱来 还有各种没必要的所谓创新 这明明是灾难片
平庸之作，其实就是讲丹麦厨师的寂寞，空虚，冷。
爱来的好肤浅。小时候的玩伴一直能念念不忘到结婚时嘛，只能说未婚夫太令人心疼了。风景真棒啊
