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'.

这个音乐剧太好看了，整个舞台布置迅速，人物转换极快。小小的场地展现了飞机内外的状况，纽芬兰镇里居民临阵不乱的布置安排，还有酒吧，休息室各处人物的惊疑，耐心，惶恐，热心，无奈，随心。他们唱歌好听，台词道来令人确信煞有其事。喜欢女机长的讲演，从梦想到成为有资历的机长，突破性别观念，勇于挑战的样子英姿飒爽。舞台小，内容展现那样丰富，每个演员都值得观众鼓掌观众，还有阴影处的乐队，把氛围烘托恰到好处，这就是舞台剧的魅力吧，大家共同努力一起营造在另一个世界，让观众看到，听到，感动到。
So much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand ,to be loved as to love with all my soul
挺煽情的，但不知道少了点什么总觉得不够打动人，可能是现在对于这种“对陌生人的慷慨和温情”已经充满了怀疑吧

完成度很高，紧凑，热闹，张弛有度，音乐好听，人物立体表演到位，调度清晰明了，动人而有大能量…我国的主旋律可以参考这样的叙事。记住了这些人，和Gander这个地方。
看完直想拍手叫好，几近完美，很可能是我今年看过最好的电影/舞台剧/音乐剧了，百老汇果然名不虚传！
很巧妙的剧情和舞台设计，有很多戳泪点的地方。虽然是20年前发生的事情，在20年后的疫情下居然也让人产生了奇妙的共鸣。扣掉一星是因为我觉得每个演员分饰很多角色这件事容易影响观剧感受，虽然看得出来每个人的每个角色已经尽量有明显的区别，但还是偶尔会跳戏。太想现场看音乐剧了，那种体验是看任何电影和电视剧都给不了的
超赞！谁能想到，我先是偶然听到了机长的独白歌被深深吸引了然后发现了这么好看好听的剧！
真正需要我们重视的东西，在come from away里面就展现出来了，灾难后，也许世界没有变得更好，歧视和战争还在，但我们更应该向这些islanders学习，不去想权谋和观点的碰撞，只有you’ve done the same. 经历过疫情发生的小城，当地人以自己的方式，不忍心医护人员吃泡面，从自家备好鸡鸭给他们送去。are we going to do the same?
表演很热情，很有生命力。
Me and The Sky好听到爆！！！
在911二十周年之际、疫情之后的今天看这次官摄比第一次旁观者的视角更能感同身受。第一首歌开始就想哭，焦虑、无助恐惧和不安到被治愈，全程跟唱的Me and the Sky，还是好喜欢CFA。遗憾2020年因为疫情没办法成行的巡演，still “honor what was lost，but we also commemorate what we found”。
终于看到官摄
离别是：今日舟与车，并力生离愁。明知须臾景，不许稍绸缪。
好看好看好看！一向不喜欢看歌舞剧的都看的着迷 音乐也很好听 通过表演也了解了911这段我不知道的历史 很难不被感动 纽芬兰岛上的每个人都好可爱啊！
严冬之日，波涛之上
欢快又充满力量的歌舞片，对人性有力的赞颂。虽然来自远方，但彼此没有距离。最后演奏家集体演奏的《Screech Out》真的太嗨了。
北美人民真的好富裕好乐观。动人的旋律始终是百老汇成功的前提条件啊，滚去循环ost。
如果只歌颂牺牲、付出和伟大，不歌颂个体、爱和自由，人的意义又在哪里得到区分。
如果你渴求一个港湾
