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'.

我就是想不通为什么阿贺田先生会被蒙在鼓里(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)
emmm本金鱼以为看过又以为没看过又看了一遍😅工藤上大号破案依然忘不了啊咧咧
高甜！这才是名侦探柯南应该有的“日常”水平，最开始不是这样的吗？怎么现在难得一场“正常发挥”都要让我兴奋半天😭主题曲大爱，给剧集增色不少。
漫画早就看过，关键剧情动画也值得一看，案件很无聊，甚至无厘头，重要的是新兰主线，现在看柯南，事件已经越来越无关紧要了
角色太多，推理和杀人动机不那么出色
(๑•ູ॒॒̀•́๑)啦啦啦
有没有让鬼变回人的方法？
【2022023红之校外旅行】
啊啊啊啊啊新兰新兰永恒！！（剧场版要是能回到这样的质量就好啦）
剧情太弱了，完全经不起推敲，一星给有点战损的新一吧
哦呦，新兰终于官宣了，谢天谢地了，心疼平次一分钟
是我才疏学浅，不知道如何夸这个动漫，我是看完了动漫感觉不带劲，顺便把漫画也看了。所以相当于看了两遍，感觉剧情都差不多！是真的好看，蝴蝶忍是真的好看，恋忍也是真的好看。当然，当然碳太郎是真的温柔，全片感觉除了鬼舞惨(是这个名字吧记不太清了，应该是这么写)都不是坏人。
剧情很一般了，但是看柯南已经成为了习惯啊～

希望能在大荧幕看到！装作我看过了doge.
脚印和天狗还真有点像幻术呢
相比尾灯版的老少皆宜，扎导版的人物更饱满，剧情安排也更合理，但却变成了纯粉丝向电影，对非DC粉并不算友好。
临时决定在12月12日观看《鬼灭之刃无限列车篇》TV版，而后才发现，去年的剧场版《无限列车篇》刚好就是在12月12日观影，真是太巧了！去年12.12还顺便重温《那田蜘蛛山篇》，今年则看下《浅草篇》和《鼓屋敷篇》。
这么虐的两人爱情终于是修成正果了，但是刀还继续。不过这个看得很快乐。破案算啥。
