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'.

用了两个半小时看了一场GUCCI家族的内卷故事，结果却是螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后。其实为财产为权利，小到家庭大到国家，类似的故事数不胜数。最大的收获可能只是通过影片更了解了GUCCI这个品牌。Lady Gaga饰演的Patrizia还是比较惊艳的，完全表现出了一个女人对名利的欲望和野心，同时也暴露了在阶级固化的社会，虽然有些小聪明，但是底层的生活环境也限制了眼界和修养。更像是一种贪得无厌的暴发户心态。Maurizio则是很典型的高知商人行为，不失优雅和礼貌的抢夺利好，成功后慢慢物质化，最后失败。影片叙事流水，时长偏长，语言选择也很迷，观感寡淡无味。
泪点更新：这也能看哭……Spencer贴片预告也看哭了……不愧是我:)
演员中Lady Gaga演得最好，杰瑞德莱托化妆化得连爹妈都不认了吧。
天哪必须要为Leto少爷说一下，Paolo Gucci我根本没有认出来好吗？化妆简直太可怕了，意大利口音也相当不错，简直是最大的彩蛋！
改编自现实的电影里面的故事情节细节可能与现实不符，如果只是通过电影来铭记现实，那记住的只能是与真实情况有出入的现实。
明明是一个可读性很强的故事，却被拍的如此拖拉无亮点。尤其是这注水的大部分时长里，基本全是gaga神婆般的絮絮叨叨，就更赶客了。
斯科特你在干什么？？？换Ryan Murphy来导都比这个精彩
一手好牌打的稀烂，单纯拍个纪录片也比这精彩
说这里面有Jared Leto，两个半小时电影结束了我也没认出来，什么鬼斧神工易容术！ 就-不要太高期望，也别嫌弃好莱坞人物刻板化的毛病（尤其应该给Tom Ford道歉），会觉得还挺有趣的一部电影～
比想象中的好诶。其实前半段就一直在想，如果按原定wkw来拍，那种沉浸在恋爱里的傻气会不会就不会那么真实，或者说wkw来拍的话或许会突出“美好”的属性吧，看GIF里面鳖鳖和司机的床戏那么好笑，结果正式看到的时候反而有点甜蜜温馨。后半确实有点乱，感觉是要凸显各方的演技，结果放弃了本应该要花心思的人物塑造，但又莫名其妙地能让人觉得合理，或许只是不够“Drama”吧，结果反倒是有点像一些人喜欢《第一炉香》电影版的理由喜欢上了：它把那些以往会带着滤镜看的富豪人生塑造得滑稽又真实。鳖鳖真的演得很努力，很像潮汕女老板了；莱托真是完全看不出来，厉害到有点可怕了。3.5归4。
最后的买凶杀夫一整段也淡如白水，本来可以做成一个高潮般的尾声。大概主创心里也在想“差不多就得了吧怎么还不结束”。——酿这样一杯白开水，确实没必要用157分钟这么长。
本来就啥也不期待，就想雷德利老爷子能多赚一点，目前来看片子的票房还不错，比较欣慰。拍这种题材本来就吃力不讨好，中规中矩就是胜利，也就花了导演五成功力，对雷粉来说同年有《最后的决斗》这种级别的作品够了。
言情+伦理+商战居然能拍得如此索然无味，全靠意大利口音和一些巧克力和屎的笑话撑过两个半小时（诚如影评所言，this is a goldmine for tiktokkers）。而且幸好有gaga，不然无聊程度还会加倍。这部电影给我的最大惊喜，是在结束以后我查演员表发现阿尔帕西诺和莱托居然出演了两个主要角色的时候…………
三星半。老雷又拍了部豪门恩怨，两个半小时篇幅横跨20年，流水账式讲了一遍，深度力度比起《金钱世界》差了一些，豪门恩怨看多了不新奇了，看点是Gucci家的恩怨，然而看完也就这样，多了些锦衣华服而已。铁叔的戏份不多，看他演戏就是一种享受，Paolo居然是莱托演的…我的天这也太毁了吧，根本认不出来啊。
雷导真的不会失手！这部当然不是最佳水平，毕竟豪门恩怨真人真事，剧本上先天就受限制，但这一部还是比all the money in the world好。我嘎真的要奥提，看完承认天生女演员，虽然戏路不一定宽，但就从明星诞生到这部的稳定输出，真的让人不服不行。其他角色也都很厉害，叙事也很得当，摄影打光更不用说完全就是大导基操，而且雷公很克制，要是真按着坊间版本拍那就狗血的没边了。
我他妈雷德利斯科特YYDS！敌人都是自己亲手建立起来的！
个人挺喜欢的，不过雷老爷子这一套王道拍法如今看来确实是跟不太上时代了，而且这一部感觉结构太散手法又过于类型化。很多能拍更“大”的地方还是没有拍——比如奢侈品制造和营销的冲突，仿制品存在的意义，资本的介入，这些议题我还挺感兴趣的，不过片子更多落脚在古驰一家子怎么搞到楼塌了但是又没塌全———虽然没有古奇人但是有古奇上市公司嘛。
抛开和真实事件差别不谈毕竟不是纪录片，把故事气氛还给演员，拍摄剪辑深藏不露，节奏平稳推进，就非要不迎合这快餐时代拍得一点都不狗血，要的就是这种雷氏滤镜+1（老雷要长命百岁呀）
司机卖掉股份离开那段和被杀那段挺好的，其他……
这么有趣的故事，真的给拍的太普通了。老司机不停换装负责好看就可以了，土鳖的表演是有进步的，但是这么有戏的角色，也被她演的没有什么亮点。反而莱托演的保罗是最有戏的角色。
