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'.

浪漫的summer time，两位女主相遇后一切开始对了起来，混乱消失，旖旎缱绻的氛围如发丝般纠缠。成年人的壁垒狡猾而谨慎，而坦率热烈的年轻人的确有摧枯拉朽的魔力。音乐好听，女作家优雅迷人，情欲戏难得的生动与美丽。
后半段完全没有预料到这个风风火火的女人的真爱竟是情人的伴侣。作家的淡雅是56岁女人完美的体现，年轻姑娘的大胆与激情也有着随性的魅力，可惜老男人好像谁也配不上。
上一个男朋友还没分干净，肚子里的孩子还不知道怎么处理，现任情人的关系还没搞清楚，已经爱上他老婆了。欧洲所有的女性电影似乎都是对戈达尔的随心所欲的回应 - 那时候女主忧伤地说，我抽了根烟我也有责任。女人，不负责任地活着，真的很快乐。愿下辈子投胎做一个法国女人。
今年和小朋友远程看的第1部电影。
现在满脑子都是年下妹妹穿着红裙子跑来跑去的画面。
虽然简简单单的一个爱情故事，却在女主的奔跑中让人充沛，原来活力是这么有力量的一件事情，也是爱情里的动力来源。
浪漫激情率性的anais，明白爱是幻觉，但是拒绝同意。在海德堡老城看一场属于夏天的夜场电影，是幻觉也没有关系。
Be in the present, thus to be carefree and soul free. 阿娜伊斯彻底活在当下，享受并索取，自由并挥霍，她不顾一切、争分夺秒，完全拥有自己的身体和心灵，如tractor一样裹挟成长道路上的一切。如智慧却脆弱的瓦莱丽所说，阿娜伊斯活在时间之外，而生活即地狱，世俗者不得不和时间讨价还价，无法自拔地被吸引，又不能免俗地离开。结尾分手戏宛如对叔本华的扬弃，有种怜我世人、忧患实多的伤感与慨叹。
刚想给最后Emilie的那段说教扣一星，马上又为Anais拖着她进电梯的结尾➕两星。如果理智能战胜情感战胜欲望，那就不是人了。
2022至今看过最喜欢的爱情故事。想把Anaïs的小裙子都买下来，爱治愈了她的幽闭恐惧症。最后一段伤心的对白，本以为一切将落俗地诀别。我们都需要更疯疯癫癫，哪怕勇敢到令人心碎。
“我不同意”
明艳的色彩，跳动的情绪，洋溢着蔷薇的清香，燃烧着猛烈的渴望。阿娜伊斯是如此自由而勇敢，跳脱出传统的情爱理论，不惧怕真挚而直接的表达。或许有一种心动就是，你借我的书我会一直翻看，不想还回去。
缺点很多很明显，但很喜欢，冲动的不讲理的喜欢。中后段对两个男人的处理简直是爽文剧情，看得我鼓掌大笑。明黄，亮橙，红和蓝跳舞，恐惧和犹豫都让步，五十岁六十岁七十岁也要被坦率勇敢鼓荡噢！
谁不爱既在阳光下奔跑也会独自在夜晚流泪，自由开朗热爱生活的女孩呢？
我的天看完巨上头，除了铺垫有点长，另一位女主出场后太好看了。沙滩的亲密戏太美了。女主让我想起了年轻（？）时的自己，热情到没头没脑，在感情中喜欢“强求”——然而看看电影吧朋友们，这样的“强求”才能获得/延长幸福，理智的大人们只会流着泪离开。
不停奔跑 不会生活 感情一团乱 论文憋不出 房租交不起 阿娜伊斯身上找到自己的影子。中年知识女性经济独立 举止从容 用品精致 情绪平和 简直比老男人让人着迷多了！我太爱法国女人在太阳下海水里灵动的肉体和轻巧的精神了。
前三分之二balabala，最后把我震醒了。想要转发热评第二奥兰少的影评，说得真好，“我不同意”之后拉起她的手，在电梯里拥吻，就是这一修辞手法的最好的完成。
6.8，女主：为什么我成功勾引了一对儿，最后得到了一种挫败感......
很开心没有打退堂鼓骑车跑去看了这部片。anais总在跑，是个内心充满热情的人，有句话印象很深，她妈妈说，她在与有趣的人相处很好，她不屑一顾说，我自己要成为有趣的人。虽然翘掉导师鲁昂组织研讨会的活儿跑去见喜欢的女作者很不负责任，可是我却出乎意料地能理解这种不靠谱甚至有点羡慕她带着这么强的意念做选择。最后拒绝爱人切段关系的要求，也非常让人动容。感谢这部片让我看到一个日剧式的热血法国女人。
绝美风景下的爱情。中间比较可预料。电影中的“同居人”就像绝大部分男人一样，他必须是接受和拒绝的主体，而绝不能接受被夹在两个相爱的女人之间。 重点是描写阿纳伊斯的性格特点，和她主动追爱的积极勇敢，但结尾也太草率了。在一番已经奠定结尾基调的教育，之后两人又继续坠入爱河？这实在有点不能接受。反而是没这么HE的结尾，会更有力：原来美好的女之爱，依然会被自己打败。
