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'.

感人。本片又名：王的男人；伪装成政治的罗曼史；this love；影子爱人。
一直很担心第二部会狗尾续貂，但是显然担心有点多余，如果说第一部是从倒闭到重新开业，那这一部就是继续做大做强，有了更好的舞台，这群小动物又一次贡献了足够的笑料和精彩的演出。太治愈了。
The movie to start 2022: 不要让别人的评价成为你不努力的借口，仅以自勉。
歌通俗好听景渲染的美配音的演员那几个唱的也不错呀，冲着反派老板第一个哔掉的是霉的歌再加0.5星吧！
开开心心的看一场，个中细节和人物动机的问题就都抛在脑后吧。
剧情太散了，但因为第一部的感情基础在，最后的绝版演出还是觉得值了（舞美太好看了）。Ash在舞台上等到狮子的瞬间表情也太像汤包了。
金云范=金大中，韩国民主化进程相当的黑暗和艰辛。世界上所有的选举都是最黑暗的，每个地区每个国家最聪明的那群人玩的勾心斗角的游戏。如果一个有抱负有自由民主理想的人，如果只有正直的为人，基本不可能在这些斗争中脱颖而出，成为改变世界的那个人。薛景求和李善均演技都在线，五星好评。
看了装腔作势的古董局中局后，还是音乐最抚凡人心
这个卡司。剧情没什么特别出彩的地方，倒是演员太牛逼了，把角色演绎得精彩绝伦。
就是说，流行口水歌放到电影里就有点老了吧。
不管听过或没听过这一年的欧美流行音乐，以这系列电影做收官都是顶好的。看的时候是否随着音乐哼唱应该是判断这电影好坏的标准；a妹和傻脸占据大部分歌单？最后压轴是乡村音乐；4K视频源配2K屏幕看寒毛都很清晰，很爽。美国动画电影上分之作
动画片简单又理想的内核永远在打动我懦弱的那一部分。剧情人物都很丰富，可能没有心灵奇旅和remember me那么深，但是多主角这样讲的已经很不错了啊。
中等偏上，韩国人的类型片真的处理起来游刃有余，对于政治和国民的讨论反思永远不会含蓄。
高尚是高尚者的墓志铭
最出彩的任务是那只独眼蜥蜴小姐，最好看的片段是字幕片段。
剧情就不说了，但以一部音乐剧作为大前提，口水歌的堆砌是绝对败笔的。去年也接触了不少音乐剧，个人以为既然把其作为背景那就至少要为之找到合适的内容去填充。
男主声音太性感了……而且竟然重点描绘失败的那次，胜利反而一笔带过。有很多镜头好看得很牛逼~
政治，勝者為王。不忘初心很難，絕對信任很難，一切成功背後的那個人，是王的製造者。最後30分鐘是全片的高潮，對政治的意義有了最好的詮釋。
又好笑又温馨，舞台又美又炫技。套路不重要，开开心心热热闹闹就是最好的
收集了大量音乐的版权，可看作是用音乐彩蛋埋设惊喜。不过这个步子迈得不够大，若能有更多经典音乐融入，本片还可以更好看。各位配音演员的声音表现力都很强，依然保持着自身的特色，而且音乐可听性强，远胜于许多音乐类影片。不过就是故事方面太简单了，有很多趋于理想化的剧情。虽然画风细节精湛，但剧情内容较于前作更为逊色了。
