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'.

选角好灾难,但鲁西西小演员的哭戏很有感染力;添加的内容让整个电影逻辑都很奇怪,或许子供向真的只能子供
这段给我整乐了
皮皮鲁鲁西西这套小学四年级时候看的不能自拔
cue了一下魔方大厦,是不是这部也要拍了
老郑在最后扫地僧式出场的彩蛋让又我想回去看他的书啦。
应该是第一部在院线上映的皮皮鲁和鲁西西电影吧 感觉迟来了几十年 小女主演技不错 希望有机会看到更多的回忆童年的影片
国庆档的第一部,能在杜比影院看到,很不错。情节能吸引学龄儿童,全程没有让亲子观众出戏,倒还有童音在问大人“你们快乐么?”
这拍的也太邪典了,郑渊洁既然同意把这故事改成这样,想必是他儿子经营不善
没看过这本,之前倒是看了魔方大厦,还没看完。
郑渊洁童话,童年的回忆,虽然拍的有点尴尬,话糙理不糙。
和闺女一起刷完。她高呼好看。我放心了,曾怕用力过猛,应试教育给五岁小孩留下阴影。皮皮鲁太没存在感了,这可是我的初代偶像啊。最后彩蛋大帅出来客串时👀一亮
小时候看过郑渊洁的十二生肖童话故事系列中的若干部,虽未曾等到所看书籍的影版,但也惊喜的遇到了电影《皮皮鲁与鲁鲁西之罐头小人》。影片的整体水平中等居上,聚焦于小孩的群戏,让已不再年轻的大人们,得以顾盼到往昔的岁月,与逝去的童年惊喜重逢。
原著经典,台词有趣,老少皆宜,还带点思考的电影。情节有修改不过能说得通,小人的打光有些融不进去,后期一般。希望有一天能在大荧幕上看见莱克。
故事完整流畅还很好看,还很动人。
呃...为小朋友们努力贡献的演技打call...虽然演技也不咋滴,但看出来 是用心了~制作实在尴尬...蛮好的故事...可惜了,哎~
特效一般,表演的效果其实也挺浮夸的,但是我自己看的比较开心,这片子适合小学以下的小朋友以及家长。PS:彩蛋更有意思,小人进了巨人国即视感。
好喜欢这种儿童剧的画风,不用在意太多逻辑上的问题,剧情虽然和原著有所出入,不过没有破坏我小时候看书的印象。小演员也都演的挺不错的,是很治愈有趣又有又有教育意义的童话故事。
我为什么要看这个电影?这定位明显是1 2年级 的孩子们啊,罪过。看的我一言难尽。这个鲁西西,在呼喊着寻找这几个小人时,发音真,,说别扭说难听也符合吧。还有啊,火烧的那么厉害,还要和李小曼在楼上来个一笑抿恩仇,,,这个李小曼,嘿,她的脸配上她的作风,呵,心机婊的很。学校也差劲,唯成绩论。他爸妈更是,,,没看的,不要看了,不适合大人看。
为什么只有徐老师是RH阴型血,这背后有什么惊天秘密🤔🤔
一直以来非常期待陪伴我年少时成长的郑渊洁童话系列改编成影视剧,因为非常喜欢故事里的反叛精神,甚至一度不觉得这些故事仅仅应当被限制在儿童文学当中。但是这部电影整体看下来并没有锚定目标受众,反派符号化经不起成年观众审视;作弊、道德绑架又引发儿童教育当中的隐患。至于特效,作为影视从业者其实知道该做的部分已经做了,但可能因为某一部分人审美的问题,合成头发泛蓝、阴影太脏,以及一些个三维cg部分就是基本材质,是真的把敷衍写在脸上。实话说,我不明白为什么一部少名演员的电影不能在后期部分多花点预算。
