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'.

没有快进的看完了，对于现在浮躁的环境来讲，能认真看完这样一部电影，真的很难得。
太爱这个画风了。Remember ：最高机密。在当下的今天尤为zzzq。相比一些太空任务这部没有夸张夸大，是一个简简单单的发展史，只有理想与纯粹……
这部电影看了之后很感动，男主作为支教老师把自己的一生都奉献给了支教，在藏区和藏区人民一起生活，藏区的孩子们也很淳朴可爱，剧中有多处催泪的地方，拍的很真实，值得大家去看
三星半。通过一个少年的登月梦想，前半段回顾了上世纪60年代美国主要经历的大事件以及文化上的变化，后半段以少年代入式来讲阿波罗和宇航员首次登月的过程。最后有讲到这几十年没有人再重返月球，但事实上，一直有人想要并在计划着重返月球（几个大国现在都有登月计划）。当人类的足迹已经深入到太空中的时候，就不会再满足于地球本身了。更宏大的视野，正在扩开每个追梦人的胸怀。
如果韩老师第一次走没有回来，这两个人不就是错过了吗
看完才发现是林克莱特，不过细想确实有些许少年时代的味道，可是两个片子的表达是完全不同。基本上是用登月计划作为背景故事，去拍摄了自己的童年故事，非常浪漫，也非常无聊。
挺有趣的
《藏草青青》，援藏题材的网络电影，讲诉了大学毕业生韩松援藏二十多年，为藏区的教育奋斗了一生的故事，影片展现了藏区的艰苦和环境的恶劣，塑造了一群有温度、能触摸到的鲜活角色，善良淳朴却自由奔放的藏区学童们，美丽坚韧的藏族姑娘梅朵，舍命救人的寡言大哥朗措，一条洁白无暇的哈达将韩松与他们联结到一起。
开篇青青草原，展现了绝美的藏区风光，也紧扣电影主题。故事讲述了一个90年代初藏区支教老师的一生。由于藏区学校的条件十分艰苦，前面几任支教老师都坚持不住离开了。影片主人公是个刚刚毕业的北京大学生，他来到学校后最初的打算也不过是坚持到3年期满，但在支教期间被藏民们的淳朴善良和区孩子们对知识的渴望所感动，最终为藏区教育奉献了自己的一生。不得不说影片讲述故事的能力较弱，全片平铺直述，故事的转折也有些生硬，但其中洋溢的满满温情依旧让人感动。尤其前半部分主人公初入藏区的生活刻画，让观众也不禁想去青春奉献一回。
他真的不姓库布里克吗？哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
The golden years always in the past.
那是个激动人心的年代，谁能想到这么多年过去，人类一直没能再登上月球，更不用说去探索星辰大海。我也想像导演一样讲述自己的童年时代。
男主拿着鸡蛋去找僧格，那里真的太感人了，没想到最后领回来的却是壮烈牺牲的噩耗，感觉男主心都要碎了
本来僧格去当兵，我还跟着高兴，后来说要回去看韩老师也没多想，谁想到那居然是永别了...
虽然套了个虚构的外壳，但用美式动画展现了美国六十年代诸多真实记忆，与其说是戏说历史，不如说是一种缅怀。
一代人的航天梦，以回忆的形式来讲充分发挥了记忆不可靠在电影叙事中的作用，本来自己睡着了，却因为经历过，硬给自己加戏的做法给电影加了一层可爱。不过归根结底还是对60年代美国生活的怀念，都是代表性的细节点
韩老师第一次要走那里真的好怕他不回来了也怕他回来，就是那种明知道这条路很苦却还是要走的感觉
非常自传式私人化的电影，“但对我这种幼小的心灵来说，种种不协调感真是难以消化：一方面的确这个世界快完蛋了；但另一方面未来超酷前景乐观，人很容易就会沉浸在对未来的期待中，并对科学技术解决问题的能力充满信心。”
那时的他们，相信世界一定会越来越好的。
太喜欢了！and第一次知道Lucy in the sky with diamond是LSD的意思啊。。。难怪小时候听不懂
