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'.

这个结局让我没想到……
当今的美国电影里还能看到这种九十年代情色悬疑风的作品也是够难得了。
虽然很容易猜到结局，但是妹子的两坨肉真让人难忘。
偷窥最大的问题，在于当你偷窥时，将他人的生活当成了你向往的世界…
剧情无聊。三种族就那么儿戏般的团结了。还有不能把角色弄好看吗，全是些阴间配色。肥的像河马。
歌词: ....但我知道我们只是品种不一样，没有兽角翅膀我们一样会恐慌，所以忽略那些不同，我们来携手共赢.....台词:现在我明白了，需要合在-起的并不是水晶，而是我们。我们能把失去的- -切找回来，但是这都由我们决定。我们可以因为恐惧和不信任而分隔开，也可以选择友谊，选择爱，那才是真正的魔法。
抄希区柯克和德帕尔马结果抄成了本子剧情，后面的反转真正诠释了自作聪明的坏处。
看过心情都会变好，很童真童趣，看的中心版配音，全程沉浸其中，插曲也是中文的就更好了
总之这是我第一部想在院线二刷的电影，去发现更多G5里G4的痕迹。最后让我们一起喊出——小马大法好！
作为小马教的成员之一我只想说，剧情太点草率了，但是看的出来有伏笔，建模这些也很优秀，看的出来g5的这第一部是试水的作品，很期待后来的发展，还有就是柔柔真的就成男的了呗，，
不知道是不是因为G4的世界观已经被九季动画榨干了没什么新东西可写。虽然G5的世界观构建略显粗糙，这部电影的剧情也过于套路、强行，但我还是觉得非常有意思，起码有希望部分地跳出G4的条条框框看一点新奇的设定和故事了。（以及Hitch这对小动物的亲和力是fluttershy转世吗）
蛮老派的情色悬疑片，挺少见的了。西德尼斯维尼和刘承羽的身材都太令人着迷了，本哈迪的男色也不错。角色选对了这片子就成了一半。导演的视听语言还是挺有想法，几处转场处理还是比较有想法，但整体节奏还是太拖沓，片子后三分之一的两次反转其实挺垮，尤其结尾还不如不拍。深度方面还是浅尝辄止，其实这种题材太能深挖了，希望有朝一日还是能看到萨姆·门德斯版的《偷窥旅馆》。还是要再回味一遍希区柯克的《后窗》解解馋。太吃刘承羽的颜和身了，满足。
小马宝莉非常好看，很适合带孩子一起观看。画质非常漂亮，色彩斑斓，情节吸引人，配音清晰，音乐好听，孩子特别爱看，还想再看一次，大人也很容易看进去，之前没看过小马宝莉动画片的也不影响观看，教育意义也有，不论什么种族，都可以做朋友，大家的真心可以换回魔法。
全场都是小孩是意料之内。我最最最感动的是发现有一个妹妹和我一样等到了片尾曲播完才走，而且她穿着大公主的衣服！是马迷！
其实最近没啥想看的电影，但是因为准备北影节买票，昨天下了猫眼，发现里面有张减十元的券，于是就在目前上映的片子里找了这部看。
影院里全是妈妈带小孩，看来能有不少新生Brony啊
说真的，Sunny这个公主来的比TS可是简单太多了。虽然是电影，但是小马Netflix可以算做别个IP了，时代变了，大人！
这是一部讲述友谊与爱的魔法电影，作为全球知名IP“小马宝莉”的第五代作品，也是首部全CG制作的动画电影，“小马天团”开启的冒险之旅。虽然不是原版配音，国语版配音作品亦是可圈可点，毫无违和感，更接地气，也更适合孩子们观赏，是一部阖家欢乐共赏的佳作！
反转并不高明，但“后窗”元素足够类型片再用上十几年。Sydney Sweeney很适合这类敏感、偏执的角色
剧情并不低幼，还挺内涵。小马又美又萌又可爱，招人喜欢，歌也好听。闺女问我最喜欢哪只小马，我纠结半天选了一个，结果她说，我都喜欢！
