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'.

慢着，别说亲一下了连抱一下都没有吗？兄弟情都比这浓烈【不【感情烘托到了该抱的时候也没抱上，就会有种在小心谨慎规避以便过审的感觉。但究竟是要过什么审呢，面白。
料理部分弱了，吸引力大减
三集日剧的合集。可惜在这样克制的写作依旧避免不了同性在社会面上经常遇见的矛盾冲突，作者也只能点到为止。人物的面孔都极具漫画感，2个小时的内容基本符合预期，求求了来个吻行不行！！！！！。
日本真是什么演员都在下海拍腐剧。我只想说给子也不一定非要有一个娘娘腔，然后毫无CP感，一点都不基啊🥱
虽然是那种很普通的“想太多”戏码，可依然让人上瘾，是我心中比较完美的“大叔之恋”了。既暖又酷，除了内野圣阳的脸总是有点脏兮兮的，其它都挺好。
20/5/2022 @ PREMIERE ELEMENTS。沒看劇就直接入場表示觀感還ok，只是那些矛盾和中年危機有點刻意….還是專心拍食吧
两位大叔的相处依然自在舒展，美食也依旧令人身心愉悦，遇到的难题依旧没有解决，但，这不就是所有人的日常嘛。PS，要常常回归啊，拜托了！
番宣也好可爱笑得脸疼。
认真的看了每一道菜的制作方法。西岛叔真帅啊。
也许就这样看他们平平淡淡过日子 在节日里做一些特别的美食 偶尔去一次特别的旅行 或者是特别的餐厅庆祝 其实也挺好的。没啥特别的冲突或者推动剧情发展的情节。这次感觉美食的镜头也有点少啊。。还是更喜欢看他们做菜。。以及多和小日向和阿航聚一聚 每次都有一些特别的火花
有多在乎
开头是史郎去年新年终于在父母的通知下允许带同性伴侣回老家了，今年父母却说别带他来了。我已经开始哭了。这一对不如说是梦幻泡泡版的平凡生活。东亚同志可以活得那么平凡吗，在梦中吧。
戴墨镜那边，想说有这么帅像汤姆又去过好莱坞的男票我也死而无憾了。今天也是为别人美好爱情落泪的一天。全片叔发出多次西岛式笑声，本人都出来啦！！哈哈哈
全系列最腻歪的一部……爱的酸臭多了，饭的香甜少了……而我饿了，各种意义上…… PS. 看下来只有一道焦糖苹果拌冰淇淋配烤吐司想学，但也太高血糖警告了，不是很敢动手。
2020.4.12标记想看，等了两年谁懂…就是个SP，不能算电影，场景、对话、剧情、矛盾都极度简单，也无所谓完整性啥的。本来也没有太高期待，只是做饭戏太少了，有点失望，以及私下两人的室内戏真的太尬了，完全就是同居室友的感觉，相敬如宾，哪有情侣这么束手束脚的啊…以及中年了，交流模式还这么畏首畏尾的疏离感也是有点让人摸不着头脑吧……（当然，有的看就不错了，我也只是随便吐槽下，还是看得很起劲，爱两位主演
太甜了太甜了太甜了，在电影院戴口罩都遮不住我笑咧的脸，全程姨母笑，シロさん真的太好了
和你一起慢慢变老的浪漫
全程感觉被冒犯。内野圣阳和hayato过于用力的扮演日本社会刻板印象下的女性：扭捏作态大嗔小怪面目狰狞撒泼耍赖，既不尊重gay也不尊重女性。勺演不了跟他性格差太多的角色，太尬了。
他们俩都是很好的人，所以在一起那么幸福啊。
哈哈哈两个人都因为对方的异常表现以为对方要die了笑死。。。
