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'.

好好一片，为什么要反转？为什么要反转？为什么要反转？虽然但是，还是有必要给五星
另外，郝蕾真的好好戏啊，即使现在圆润了依然还在审美点内，大爱~
u1s1，这CP不甜，剧情就像在拼凑，但是起码没有再只注重校园了，懂了现在的年轻人喜欢去98蹦迪了，这个值得表扬.
所有涉及到青春的懵懂情愫都显得如此生动，但筛去这些调味电影又是如此烂俗，和音乐节上的杂技特写一样有种刻意矫情的排场。关于zyx的性取向，表达的太隐晦，不知道是不是已经试探到审核标准边缘了。
盛夏未来近年青春片最佳没有之一啊啊啊啊啊啊！！！
电影其实也就及格分，但是放在国产青春片里，已经是第一梯队了。多一星给磊磊和妹妹。关于校园的部分实在太有回忆感了，跑操，起哄，上课偷偷听MP3，还有语文摘抄作业时总是抄歌词的自己，不知道当年骆老看到我抄的“晚风吻尽荷花叶，任我醉倒在池边”是什么感受哈哈哈哈
8.5分。电影讲述的是两个年轻人经历了与对方相处，对于喜欢有了一种深刻体会的过程，用看的开别人的思维看开了自己。影片隐晦含蓄地点了男主的同性恋人设，但是班里分桌中间有两位男同志打情骂俏以及在未来音乐节海报前男主说出那局现在知道他一个秘密，都也不算隐晦了，不过这个设计避免了两位异性小青年脱离电影主题，也是不错的。几处印象深的点：操场跑步、阳台猜陈辰母亲的话以及比较有质感的在男主家唱歌部分。张子枫演的真是棒！
当《拥抱》响起我就get了，为了过审也是煞费苦心。MING是男是女有那么重要吗 把超越性别的吻拍出来不比国内大把堕胎的疼痛文学电影好多了？
那是失去童真变成大人的夜晚，也是人生从充满期待的未知陷入到无可改变的已知的无所适从
介于男主有G的可能，所以这部片子没有太多感情线，也没有纯聚焦于孩子
通俗但共情。接受即使乖乖学习考上985、211，未来却也平凡无趣的自己。接受理想世界爱情的纯粹，生活却很难。接受再“优秀”的我，爱的人也不爱我。
——我已逝的学生时代
尴尬。演技最好的是班主任，至少台词不尴尬。
陈正道很会把握气氛，但经常用力过猛；剧作时好时坏。《盛夏未来》依然是这个毛病，剧作很差，人物形象设定很好但立不住；音乐滥用，一言不合就放歌。但是，就商业属性而言，这是一部非常标准的爽片。从观众角度看，真有爽到我，虽然音乐滥用，但是院线片我不介意，，，在影厅里听音乐很享受。演员选的很好，人设立不住，但表演立住了。
男女主角父母线作为故事的起因真就处理的非常潦草，完全工具人，家庭阴影让少年少女抱团取暖，却搞得这么浮空。终于有人在吴磊的少年保质期内拍了青春片，演gay竟然不是和刘昊然而是和张子枫。青春时代还有什么比遇到一个吴磊这样颜值级别撩而不自知的男同学，结果却是gay更伤人的呢？“这是我女朋友。”虽然不愿简单粗暴概括，但这不就是未成年gay被成年gay伤了然后他去伤未成年直女的故事。结尾DJ吴磊的发型好帅。
什么都差一点到达，什么都差一点美好，而这就是青春，就是跨入成年人世界开始必须学会接受的不完美。
关于高考，最后曲老师不都欲言又止了，人生的那个阶段的确是要全力以赴考大学，但是人生的每个阶段都有非干不可，可是“错过”了也没那么多遗憾
我觉得青春片能拍到这种程度已经可以算很张弛有度了，导演自己能拿到龙标表达想法不憋屈，找乐子的观众进去能满意出来，我这种看青春片为了真情实感痛一痛的也能不尴尬的动情。诚实面对自己/勇敢的命题我带有个人感情色彩的被击中了。惊喜在于它一点也不做作，能跳脱出这个怪圈用故事和人物本身来达到共情，在华语青春片中已经可以推倒无数了。总而言之，安息了。
想到了高中午后趴在教室最后一排的窗户边听《拥抱》，戴的是有线耳机，阳光非常好，树叶繁密茂盛，男孩女孩们午饭后沿着学校的柏油路散步。非常美好，这部电影也是非常美好，“勇敢”是一个很美好的内核。
盛夏是指高考那个汗涔涔的夏天 而这就是最适合展望未来的年纪 你渴望好成绩他渴望爱情 青春嘛 向来都是不分错对。
