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'.

Screen 2 Odeon Covent Garden｜时代的落幕。依然惊诧于编剧们的创作力，从有声电影的角度切入，又点缀些老太太在南法的暧昧往事，浪漫、艺术又端庄。婚礼和葬礼转合，死亡和新生交织，主题曲响起，我还是2010年正在读高中的学生，也想不到从此我就和英国有了那么多牵绊。
鬼灭之刃真的是近几年来最好看的动漫，不接受反驳！男主性格真的很温柔很温柔，面对👻们的残暴攻击并不是一味的武力反击，而是愿意倾听他们的故事，化解他们的怨念。整个动漫主题很热血但又能传播正确的三观，鬼灭yyds！
能看到唐顿的各位真是件开心的事情，尤其是作为一个刚关了2个月紧闭的上海人来说。但我也不得不说拍电影配音这段也太《雨中曲》了
每次看唐顿，看到所有人都能拥抱充满希望的新生活，迈入柳暗花明的新纪元，每个人都有光明的未来，作为观众特别开心。
实在忍不住开倍速了。反正是看过的番。
比上一部好看多了，但是编剧你好狠的心，怎么舍得让老夫人领便当TAT
是谁想出来的，把剧场版分成TV版，然后再把TV版合成剧场版，玩呢？
理论上唐家屯可以一直写下去，每个角色都潜力无限，本就完美的结局又叠了一层（我很喜欢但是不要再有下一次了）
不管，唐家屯就是无脑五星了。年初才把唐家屯从头到尾加上上一部电影版连着复习了一遍，无法不想念老太太一针见血的毒舌，小火车也终于找到了另一半
它的优雅，它的善良，经过这么多年，依旧能在即使你忘记的时候叫你想起，为什么那么喜欢它。i hope you`ll be as happy as our cruel world allows. 还是那么让人欢喜感动。
剪辑依然不大用心。这不是剪完的总篇章而是掐头去尾连播的剧集吧…
一场婚礼开始。一场葬礼结束。

真女仆安慰假伯爵夫人
电影拍的越来越有fanfic的味儿了，看的粉丝心满意足
还是很好看很好看，居然看哭了两次😭😭对追完整个系列的人来说真的是个太好的结局
在这个只有快餐的时代，

第一次面对十二鬼月级别的鬼。
这个系列确实没有继续的必要了，给个情怀三星吧。已经变成庄园文化僵尸了，观感如同裹脚布，无趣冗长。疫情都过去两年半了，唐家屯还在上演阶级固化、小打小闹但永远无伤大雅的合家欢大电影，仿佛给每个人凑到cp、结婚生子就是童话里的happy ending。唯一欣慰的是我们英俊迷人又贤惠的Barrow小可爱终于找到partner了，而那压根没有几幕的情节竟然也被和谐了（我根本不需要查都可以想象至多是个kiss，和对lady mary的一小段自白），简直、气到变形(－＂－怒)That's why I can't put up with (you know who)……
