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'.

Every art piece is just to remind you.
I seem to be involved in another vortex.
靓丽青春的马卡龙配色与戳爷的颜值，让整部影片变得十分清新。男孩子的爱情还是在夏天，片名三个月不用猜便可知晓是夏天的三个月。成长的历程依旧是纠结于亲情、爱情、友情。换汤不换药。
电影调色是真没的挑，非常抢眼的马卡龙色混搭，满屏都在洋溢着青春的气息；但这种疼痛记忆的糖水片也确实没在我喜欢的点上，以至于看的也是不痛不痒。顺带说一句，电影的几首配乐蛮不错的，比较喜欢。
小清新片咋都一个样嘞，然后这个配乐……为什么一定要为了突出喜剧效果在一个莫名其妙的地方强行按暂停，再按播放，真的很神经也很多余。但戳还是太美了，两个人的爆米花戏好吃。
父亲离世，母亲排斥，爱人异路，艾滋焦虑，梦想昂贵，Caleb全都赶上了。再加上他重色轻友，何况是在荷尔蒙乱涌的18岁，怎会不感觉孤单。蛮好奇Dara的故事。
哦莫^^feast my eyes on戳的盛世美颜以及清新亮丽的Florida，感觉他适合演阳光男孩hhhh 总结小奶狗look: white-T + jeans + backpack + Converse （+ curly hair）🙃
熟透的和腐烂的，馥郁果香，游乐园屁股底下的蜘蛛。未来真的好迷人，我还有一点点力气去相信人。
没想到居然还算能看。画面舒服，颜值也可以，音乐也挺好听的。这大概率是年度最佳的LGBTQ片了
The touching part isn't the gay part, it's the family part. 全世界最不缺的就是垃圾人和垃圾父母
轻松青春片，我还挺喜欢。他们接吻的时候背景音乐是the drums的Down by the water耶！我从此以后再听这首歌不再伤感了。
不过戳爷好适合这种毒舌甜心设定，易碎感和少年的性感都稳稳拿捏，演技也在线，整体就是赏心悦目。
表现过于平淡和范式化，像MV，一度拉进度条，后半段优于前半段，troye好帅，表演也不错。
3.5。一个友谊和爱意之中的亲密关系，不断寻找正确的认识，挣扎纠结再重新爱，生活不会很无情，驾驶向前的单车才值得迎面拂风。（配乐加分）
戳多多演戏叭!又好看又会演!毕竟也是童星演员出道呢哈哈哈~
第一次看到戳爷在电影里打飞机哈哈哈～爆米花的情节太可爱啦
#6/2022#不得不说的确有我看cmbyn初见甜茶的惊艳感 尤其含泪那刻真的和他一起心碎了 故事性上在我这里类你好西蒙 远不及85年盛夏 更妄提cmbyn
青春的躁动混杂着感染的焦虑，令三个月的夏日无比漫长，经历了恐惧的洗礼，才懂得友情、爱情与亲情的珍贵，真正的恐惧不是疾病或者痛苦本身，而是痛苦时孤生一人，正因为有彼此陪伴才能让人敢于直面恐惧。本片或许可以叫《陪戳爷度过漫长夏日》，Troye Sivan真的太适合这个婊婊的毒舌甜心。
第一次date他挑半天衣服最后选了一件上面写了「氣」的短袖 就因为对方是亚洲人… 怎么会有这么白人的行径…
但是也充满了迷茫
