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'.

小松太美了 美女连鼻梁痣都是氛围感#整部电影最感动的地方是滑雪回来以后小松抱着妈妈哭 说自己想再活的久一点 在爱人面前可以假装坚强笑着说再见 在妈妈面前才能任性的说自己也不甘心 也想活下去 太戳我了😭
小松菜奈太美好太美好太美好，坂口的镜头可能适合剪掉
“人生只有一次，怎么选都看你。能遇到自己爱的人，简直就是奇迹。”泪目。感觉两位主演的演技都有进步，小松菜奈更明显一点。
太mv了这个电影。画面确实很美，但是这种催泪向的电影真的不太戳我。。小松菜奈很美。其他没啥了
有点感人的爱情电影。

7分，电影的场景构图拍摄都很喜欢，故事也很共情，前面一直很感动，一直哭哭哭，但是男女主分开后我开始不理解，不是我期待的样子，在茉莉还活着的时候没什么不坚定的陪她，还有分开后起个名字做纪念，到临走前跑过去，这一段苦情戏没能感动
我不想对主角说坚持，我想对我自己说坚持，坚持看完，然而看完依旧对日式绝症煽情无感。其实我期待这部电影是因为奈绪和山田裕贵，能想到他们戏份少，没想到少成这样，连几分钟完整的故事线都没有，直接几个镜头带过。
绝症片的老套情节，不过拍得挺克制的，真实且有打动人的力量。女主原型就是原著作者本人，在小说出版前不幸离世。
喜欢水墨小兔，喜欢水彩小饭馆，喜欢毛毛导演外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅里唯一一句“别哭别哭”的对白；
日本那么多死人纯爱，这部实在是一般啊，nana演技倒是有进步，不过也就是够用的水平，坂口帅哥毫无进步啊
五郎叔再怎么演技好，找餐馆的走路姿势永远是他的符号。。小松老师真的好能哭啊，眼泪都止不住，好牛！电影时间线前期有点不太清晰，而且我是一滴眼泪没流啊，可能对生病的剧情是有点免疫了，整体好MV啊。。不过亏的茉莉家有钱，要是没钱就是另一个故事了。继承了她的相机，活成她，满是樱花花瓣的风里，她满怀爱意朝我呼啸而来。
“向着明亮那方/向着明亮那方/哪怕一片叶子/也要向着日光撒下的方向。”译者以向着明亮那方作为诗集的题目是有着深意的，金子美玲的诗美的不真实却又比现实更真实，始终有着明亮的色彩，然而金子美玲却有着难以想象的悲惨的命运，这些诗却没有一丝怨恨的痕迹，或许正因为身处于黑暗，所以始终向往着光明。
在大润发杀了十年的猪 我的心已经冷了 我看这种片子也不会哭 我没救了
好电影，大家都看看吧。当我们轻飘飘地抱怨着生活苦闷、生而不平等的时候，却没曾想过，「还活着」这件事本身就已经足够奢侈，「还活着」的人已经是计较生而平等与否时的赢家了。不得不说演员真是一种神秘的生物，从小松菜奈刚出场的镜头开始，她的一个动作、一句台词就瞬间把我带入了整部电影之中，丝毫不需要多余的热身时间，日奥影后预定！124分钟，每一秒都是紧凑的，甚至连影片的谢幕时间都被RADWIMPS感人的音乐点缀成了故事的延伸。藤井道人的影片质感还是一如既往的、那么冷、那么干净，在『新闻记者』后这么快就又拍出了一部爆作，确实挺厉害的。
人生就是一场盛大的倒计时告别，只是我们总觉得时间有余，可以浪费还能挥霍。
男主的演技和颜都不行。泪点对我来说也是无，这种剧情对我真的构不成伤害。
日式纯爱版肿瘤君，夜樱、黄叶、花火、积雪，都是容易消逝的事物。小松菜奈剪了短发超像Lisa.
哪怕烧焦了翅膀
裏面蠻多我喜歡的演員的，不過電影確實一般。
