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'.

玩完漂流的少年派变成了小王子和狐狸先生来了一场探索大自然的森林之旅，久经考验后，他用头换来了骑士精神…
猫科和犬科真是人类纯真友谊的终极梦想，狮子和狼都不放过。大猫大狗依然可爱温情。然鹅直线剧情比较缺乏铺垫过分牵强，女主演技也莫名其妙似笑非笑。结局更是离谱做作。不过我也反对马戏团动物表演的行为，为了娱乐大众对动物太残忍。
5分 剧情上就是高文接受挑战，战胜自己成为骑士的故事…但拍得这么无聊，本质上已经是草菅人命了…
影视改编的很哥特，整个寻找绿衣骑士的旅程实际上是高文直面自身弱点和命运的过程，其中的孤独和磨难表现得很有点存在主义的风味。高文爵士被砍前的彻悟很现代，
我看不懂，但我大受震撼。（奥斯卡最佳服化道可以冲起来了）
有点小失望 视听绝对没得说 但整部片子被随意的节奏和导演对原故事的过度解读有点拖垮了 而且台词写的是真的不行 和Robert Eggers比真不是差了一点半点
中世纪城堡、女巫、迷雾里的巨人，一个骑士的coming of age大片，喜欢这种神戳戳的。准备买书来看了。
不知道原来的民间故事，看了介绍只觉得，我ca这个故事的开头简直太棒了，太有趣，怎么拍都至少应该是四星吧，但可能期望太高吧，故事冗长而松散，不知道是不是按原版故事直接拍了，也许稍微改编一下会成一部经典，可惜也——突然发现主角是印度裔，好家伙占领硅谷之后，要在英国称王了！
一年后，找了一个导游，因太吝啬被导游绑架，在房子里被要求女主人请求找回湖里的头颅索要回报，在城堡喜欢上了城堡主人妻子，最后连一只陪伴身边都刚走，见到绿衣骑士后怕砍头逃跑了，后来看到自己骄奢淫逸统治下的惨状，回来，脱下保护自己的绿色腰带接受绿衣骑士挑战，结束
诱惑、恐惧、贪恋这些东西布满影片各个角落，加上影片在摄影、打光以及构图和一些奇幻元素使得整部片子有着一种迷人的气质
129分钟45秒 23.976fps 流媒体WEB 电影比较晦涩难懂，看到最后才会明白，高文爵士赴约的经历其实就是骑士精神塑造的历程。
有几个瞬间，感觉差点就要爱起了，但最后二十分钟怎么回事啊？！（两星还是三星？）
蛮累的，主角一开始接受合约也不知道是不是只是一时兴起......蒙眼奶奶说的：“你不是真的骑士。”他就立马逃跑。废柴经历了那么多，看到后半生如此还不如早点死去也不愿意多思考要怎么活自己的人生（他觉得他这样才叫勇敢，因为他终于可以勇敢的面对死亡了）。最后皇冠还是给小女孩戴起来了，整篇都特别讽刺，这大概就是我的理解。当然要夸一夸摄影和美术以及各种荒诞的隐喻，真棒~

画面还成，不过想象力也没有特别惊艳，画面设计属于想起一出是一出，不是非常系统。故事看完没懂到底啥意思，想说啥？
分数：71
我是怎么耐着性子看到最后的？
很迷人的电影。本片可以证明，多元化的演员选用丝毫不会影响到一部本该优秀的电影。
故弄玄虚的东西，不是谁都能搞出来的！强氛围，诗意，无敌摄影和服装道具化妆，你们都看不见吗？不要跟我说节奏和剪辑的问题，21世纪都20年代了，做点新的尝试——符合当下艺术标准的传说故事改编，总比追求四平八稳好的多吧！如同上世纪80年代斯科塞斯拍耶稣基督最后的诱惑，David Lowery拍一个失败的有瑕疵的骑士才和现在的人类更为接近，壮哉！
根本就是少年π的奇幻漂流古代版。或者少年π是借鉴这个原著拍的？总之就是很奇幻很漂亮的画面。故事会让人看得一头雾水，看到最后才会恍然大悟。
