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'.

还是高级，虽然感觉是一个片子中夹了另一个片子，但满满的平行影射真的很好啊，演绎也细腻，家居也美丽
3.5 女性意识在道德伦理层面下是感性体，一个拥抱化解，我们躺祥在真相的废土上，愿和平愿自由~
一度想弃，但谁叫情绪原因看到加莱亚诺history is not mute一个泪水大漫溢。电脑屏幕上的鉴定文档和弗朗哥独裁时期的乱坟岗，生的溯源和死的追认，通过一名女性的生活而落地（呱呱坠地）。/骸骨与“大地之母”
其实是真实永远无法沉默，存在永远无法篡改，事实无法回避。我们都有来处，这个来处是永恒存在。不管是真实的战争之后，还是生活的残垣之下。三个母亲，其实就是母亲的三个面：慌乱受伤、坚韧肯定、自由意志。面对孩子，面对男人，面对家人，面对历史的存在，她们复杂但寻求。阿莫多瓦太还是那双平行的眼👏平行地注视着女人。
又狗血又平淡，女人主宰世界吧，男人不是xxx年后会灭绝吗，挺好的。
为什么要把两部片缝在一起？阿莫多瓦的布景和他拍的克鲁兹还是好美好美。
另一面表现因为内乱导致乱葬坟的事件 但该电影不好的一点是虽然剧情上两个故事有链接 但是主题是不相干的 导致前后比较分裂 同时两个母亲的主题也没有很好的收尾 之后直接转入另一个事件 这相当于把两个电影合在一起
不是阿莫多瓦最好的作品 但还是很感动他的女性能不停地move on
摄影颜色还是很美，但也是阿莫多瓦很平庸的一次发挥。换子疑云双妈奇情再加祖辈苦难史，吃起来就像咸腐乳拌龟苓膏。
主海报被换了，什么时候女性才能实现裸露自由。电影探讨母爱，探讨安宁，坟墓里是死于大脑没发育而忘记呼吸的孩子，乱葬岗里是因为战争而永不得安宁的灵魂。当残骸一点点挖掘出，我们看到了平行世界里的回归
3.5 是越老越稳重还是越老越畏缩？失掉了年轻时的疯癫，一惊一乍的特色倒是不减当年。
历史线和女主线没有那么有机地交融，但是佩内洛普依旧好，虽然不是她最好的作品。
这还不狗血奇情？是我熟悉的阿莫多瓦，虽然这次的创作阿莫多瓦显得更保守了一点，对于情欲和性的挖掘点到为止，不过这一次的主题从以往只针对人性的深层次撕裂探讨到对国家民族历史的深层挖掘。而平行母亲这一字面含义不仅是在指婴儿双母亲的生物学身份，更是一个民族和国家对于自身历史，起源脉络的呼唤溯源与回归。佩内洛普饰演的母亲形象非常丰富复杂，象征着对于历史真相的犹豫不决，试图掩埋回避和最终坦诚面对的心理过程，一如后代之于先祖历史的复杂心理。另一位母亲的形象更显稚嫩，但也代表另一种历史观。其中女性来观看和凝视的角度非常特别，而沉重的话题：婴儿的死亡-重生构建起身份的认同。结尾婴孩面对洞里森森白骨时的退步和不忍更是后代对于先祖历史的记忆和铭刻。生命的延续总能抚平心灵的镇痛，但也应该主动揭示伤疤来面对和重新开始
2021M108/8.0 基因的传递与历史的传承如出一辙，对胶片的剪接和记载的涂抹无法更改基因的编码。真相不是不重要，而是人们越来越短视，只独善其身，没有将自己置于历史发展的长河之中，只有躺倒在坑墓，才会发现个体的群体性和历史的反复性。摄影一贯的出色，依旧是阿莫多瓦高饱和度的色彩，红色底色是不是致敬《黑客帝国》代表真相的红色小胶囊药丸？有些可惜的是政治有点盖过个体，而对个体的极尽毫发的描绘正是阿莫多瓦最棒的一点。
用女性的视角和身份的认同来折射导演对一个国家过往和现在的政治表达，亲子鉴定和挖掘遗骸，死去和存活的孩子与祖辈死因的不明和昭然，看似不搭调的两条线在深层次都是相关联的。我看到更多的是阿莫多瓦对女性的尊重和对女权的拓展，男人只是提供生育的一环，女性才是延续生命的关键和根本。
无论是私人感情还是家国历史，阿莫多瓦这次都没打动我。
用120m去了解一个人的苦难，很痛苦，但幸好，她活了过来；色彩就肯定是阿莫多瓦啦！人物所做的一系列举动看似不符合常理，但这就是阿莫多瓦的故事啦！
太平行了，所有东西都分层不是整体。
私人的抑或是国家的，女性都在书写温暖治愈的历史。
克鲁兹真美。阿莫多瓦还是好好讲他的非常态人情关系比较好，硬要和历史作互文，感觉有点生硬。
