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'.

电影版的唐顿都是你好我好大家好，还是更喜欢电视剧的版本，有人性的多面呈现。从唐顿第一季到如今的电影第二部，所有人都老了一圈了。
新时代随着交替中拉开帷幕。服装满分，布景满分，英英满分，无可挑剔。另外，Mosley太可爱了。
“现代世界走进唐顿。”这不就是一个电影拍进了贵族庄园+《我爱我家》贾志新和他表妹+《雨中曲》的故事么！！老夫人的结局-最后墙上的肖像，算是呼应了第一部电影，但大可不必。也不真实。弥留时真的可以正好都通知到大家围在一起等着看着，现实生活中几乎不可能吧！而所有那些曾经有矛盾解决不了的问题，这一部全部和解，有些假和生硬。然而会想到第一部结尾、想到爷爷，还是流泪了。6月大银幕观影第一部！为了这个特效厅，从非遗馆赶来，这样的执念辛苦小F体谅！2022.6.three+1观影19:45场。已经不敢写是几号看的了。金逸影城双桥店2号CGS中国巨幕厅+杜比全景声厅，好像也是双激光头。加上我们共6个人。
不记得追唐顿庄园的剧集追到哪一集就没有下文了，电影还是值得一看，熟悉的片头音乐一响起，就把人带入英国乡村辽阔的风景中，当然这一集的南法更胜一筹，看的过程中有些角色已经很迷糊的，但是不妨碍这个故事里的每个人都很可爱！
我永远爱唐顿！意料之中的伤感结局，老夫人的离去真真正正地标志了一个时代以及唐顿这个系列（hope not）的落幕，但唐顿仍是英国乃至全世界最出色的时代影视ip之一
喜欢兄妹之间的羁绊，喜欢男主团的坚毅，人生中需要我们面对的困难很多，我也要坚强一点
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
角度还挺好，默片到有声电影也是new era。没想到之前的默片还有现场奏乐。小火车的感情戏剪了显得最后的告别有点突兀
即使唐家屯人老来可亲得都快成小猪佩琦风了，但音乐一起还是让人买单啊。
我是真的完全不记得第一部电影版在说个啥了，只记得奶奶成精了，第二部竟然还缺不了奶奶这个灵魂人物让我一度对再来一遍的电影版完全么有期待。当然看还是要看的，倒是结果比我预想的好很多，以电影拍摄的时代变迁再喻唐顿这个贵族系的变迁，虽然没有新鲜主题，倒是故事还蛮带劲，不呆板，不矫情，在此基础上再把人物关系给总结一遍也没不会让据迷再伤感一遍了。
高中的时候看了个开头没看下去，十多年后来看了个大结局……大户人家也要为钱发愁呢。啊英国人的小帽子好多呀好好看呀。
特别在看了“诡秘之主”后对英国贵族生活有了一点理解
提前看过漫画，知道无人伤亡，再看动画时，就安心很多🥳
新的时代要开始了，愿此刻便是唐顿庄园的完美结局。
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
为什么要分得那么乱，就不能来一个很好的观影顺序
7.0分。秩序的魅力，优雅的魅力，古典的魅力，电影的魅力，全是其间了。
虽然这出梦幻式的帝国主义顶层贵族的夕阳无限好fairytale肥皂剧看到后面还是产生了很多感情的，但是能结婚的都结婚了，该生孩子的也都生了，休博内威利的气色都瘦脱了，就别再继续拍了吧
三人小队首聚，猪柱真是个有趣的家伙。
似乎是最好的结局了，两条故事线并行，默片与有声电影的碰撞，都在唐顿庄园里进行，老妇人的传位，崭新的时代也在到来
