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'.

剧作就很弱了，堆砌大量人物关系，叙事逻辑和节奏都相当的混乱。
有几首歌还是挺好听。然而还是那些错过的恋人，让人焦虑吧的时光流逝，青春不再，事业未半，除此似乎也无它。在歌声里，自由与梦想正确无疑，爱情和友谊不可辜负。但那也只是在你我的歌声里。Cages or wings, which do you prefer? ask the birds. Fear Or Love, Baby, Don't Say The Answer. Actions Speak Louder Than Words. 恍然大悟，日常生活中很少会说I will do anything for you. Anything. 虽然此刻心同此句。Come to your senses, defenses are not the way to go. 真人真事加半星。WYT
泳池五线谱我也大呼nb
像没有很喜欢rent一样，也没有很喜欢这个电影，只觉得嘈杂...有的歌还不错，安加菲也老了...
歌不好听，剧情也尬，演员脸上塞满了各种情绪，挺齁的
很多人终其一生也没有找到自己喜欢的领域和愿意为之奋斗终生的热情。但拉森找到了，他的一生虽然短暂，但我相信他享受在小公寓里创作的每一秒钟。
《安妮特》都能让卡拉克斯拿戛纳最佳导演，那LMM不是应该拿金棕榈了？
单纯说电影，影像表达力度是不足的，但情感太充沛了，饱含热情，悲伤与焦虑，生日那天，如果我没事可做，就一个人二刷这部电影吧
没办法共情，让我在纽约睡地下室我也愿意。所以没办法为了剧作者自己的小确幸而感动。
如果你不了解吉屋出租以及背后的作者你就无法共鸣，去了解一下百老汇的传奇人物和作品吧，这个还是有点小众了。但个人观感还是很好的，我还是喜欢早午餐那一曲，太炫了。
人物故事层次相对简单 音乐还好 视听比较商业类型
卡着ddl写歌面临的各种窘境，有点阅历的社畜都会共情…… 加菲演得太好削弱了一些音乐剧改编的舞台感，双线音乐会结构LMM掌控得也不错，游泳池的设计蛮绝
跟爱乐之城差很远，可能是因为传记片的关系吧，加菲猫这个造型，显得太不抗老了。歌不难听，但是看起来无聊冗长，除了泳池里写出歌的那段还有点意思。
能又唱又跳又表演的人都很酷 属于那种看一遍能浪漫一辈子的故事 加菲很棒 我心中2021的影帝 不要泄气 继续努力 希望每一个疯子的故事都能被展现出来 诱发更多精彩的疯子
一直都只听说过Rent，但没什么了解，原来背后是这样的一段创作经历
3.5，最近期末忙得很，到现在才稍微歇口气看部电影，特意看这部题目比较应景的（期末=倒数时刻）。觉得如果对音乐剧有更多了解，可能看的过程会更有意思。讲述爱好和生活的对抗，顺带还讽刺了制片人制度，人物的成功，天赋当然是最能推动的因素，还有不可被时间磨灭的爱。加菲一脸苦相还蛮适合这个角色，演技到位，情绪和唱功很不错，特别是钢琴solo戏，明年奥提应该到手，泳池五线谱那段想象力到位，虽然其他地方尚可，还可以，没太出彩，行货水平以上，但还是要对这个英年早逝的真实人物表示尊敬，一个把一生奉献给热爱的人。
感谢Larson, 对音乐剧的发展作出的创造性的贡献。爆哭。
Bang! You're dead, what can you do?
这是一部让人心潮澎湃的电影！是一封写给音乐剧的情书！故事以闪回、以现实与音乐剧巧妙结合的方式推进，聚焦百老汇传奇剧作家乔拉森·拉尔森30岁前后的创作焦虑与人生困境，展现了他实现音乐梦想的无比执着和赤诚。Tick，Tick，Boom! 贯穿全片滴答作响的时针，营造了时光流逝男主年届三十一事无成的焦虑和压力，烘托了气氛。
标准到没什么意思的电影，太过四平八稳，一切都对，都正确，但各方面都不出彩，尤其是有那么多珠玉在前的情况下。加菲最好的表演还是在《沉默》和《银湖之底》，却没获得肯定。不过鉴于今年连《玉面情魔》都能bp提名，这部的观感至少没有那么糟糕。
