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'.

表面是青春题材片，深层次反应着当下社会现实问题。全片幽默轻松的前半段并没有让这些现实社会问题变得苦大仇深，反而更让人能直面困难，主题还是很正能量，差点以为结尾狗血了，结果虚惊一场，编剧花心思了。子枫妹妹演的行云流水，没有一点拖泥带水，居然还有些小小包袱在戏中，意外的是居然买了这么多英文歌版权，能有coolplay的歌，说明国产电影现在越来越国际化了。
看完像是过完了一整个青春和半个中年，盛夏原来早就在不经意之间过完了
其实蛮遗憾的是，这几年把校园青春片拍得好的，都是香港和台湾的导演，如果说《少年的你》是BG的狂欢，那《盛夏未来》就是BL的暗喜，几乎是内地院线电影可以做到得极致了，所以加一星鼓励。吴磊饰演的郑宇星，在我心中是可以媲美刘小北一样的角色，几乎满足了所有我对少年的幻想，当然张子枫不是周冬雨，导演边拍脑海里想的应该是桂纶镁。看完出来朋友说作为一个gay男主的音乐审美也太烂了，我倒觉得唯一让我出戏的是打碟的地方，作为一个迷恋电子乐的gay，梦想应该不是在SPACE打碟....吧？
面试的时候老师问如果我是编剧想写什么样的电影，我模棱两可地答国产同性青春片，现在我知道了，就是盛夏未来这样的。
ps：子枫妹妹的演技超神，陈辰在郑宇星面前唱拥抱的那个状态反应眼神我甚至看到了自己的影子
开篇几个反套路处理奠定全片反叛属性。以草蛇灰线的方式反审查、反父权制、反主流文化、反性压迫，反这操蛋的，专门扼杀本该最具反叛精神的少年们的教育制度。反不了自己的感情，就像明明最爱的电子乐只有两条评论，却偏偏喜欢在台上大放“something like this”的DJ。接受不了，也得接受。
“希望我们能诚实的面对自己 希望我们能更勇敢”
ps.如果数学选择第12题真的考这么简单就好了😅
这反正不是我的青春...
确实是难得一见的发生在当今语境下的青春片，少年与家长的戏都不悬空，充满现实感。至于结尾有争议的吻戏，个人觉得还是很合理，那是一个慰藉的吻、一个告别的吻，与渣不渣男毫无关系。子枫妹妹太会演了，眼角眉梢都是戏，吴磊相较之下太一般了，台词与表演都只是将将及格。很难说这是个关于LGBT的片子，作为如此模糊的背景信息出现，这是2021年。
好的青春片总会让人也想年轻一回去体验一次，这一部就有这种感觉，虽然有很多很俗套的设定，但这大概是这个夏天能给人最大满足感的院线片了。当你说出那句喜欢你时，多希望听到一句我也是，年轻真的太美好了。另外这大概是近几年看到的指向性最明显的LGBT电影了，希望有生之年可以看到我们的电影工作者有机会把那缺失的镜头大胆的拍出来。
吴磊饰演的郑宇星有着十八岁专属的青春活力，也有着青春期对爱情的迷茫，十几岁的喜欢可能就是不甘心，吴磊这些情感上的表演都处理得很好👍
这故事让我想起了《蓝色大门》，还比蓝色大门还多带了一下父母辈的事，父母老师全都说人话，也有正常人类的烦恼。男女主耐看且气质适合，可惜俩人前半段的对手戏时常太尬，和陈柏霖桂纶镁还是有差距的。
我想在如今这个环境下，能在这样一部电影里让吴磊没有喜欢上张子枫，或是让MING长居阴影里不露面，种种不能说的暗示意味都是足够明显的。陈正道无疑带来了《蓝色大门》一样春风拂面的感觉，但我不认为大众会对它达到足够的认可，前期抄CP的宣传只是自砸脚，过分的妥协带来生理的不适，而且无论愿不愿意承认，它获得什么样的关注度，都无法使它帮助到它真正该帮到的那群人。
青春是不是一定要疼痛才能叫青春...
看到郑宇星爸爸出场就知道本片是LGBT了，太gay了。男同性恋导演拍这几种感情，陈辰想抓着爸妈的亲情和“安全感”不放手所以畏惧改变；陈辰长达一年多的暗恋；曲老师收手机时面对台下零零散散的“学习”声音愣住，简直手到擒来，细腻极了。残酷的青春片，太贴近生活太贴近我。
电影审查反而成就了本片，镜头外始终未露脸的MING成为了青春期只可感受无法明说的痛
这是讲高考的？这是讲青春的？快别侮辱高考和青春了
我和郑宇星最喜欢的音乐是一样的，不过我没有他的故事，审美一样就可以啦。
为什么我们院线电影中的同性恋需要如此隐晦地去表达，隐晦得刻意，没有脸，照片只有一角，用“她”代替“他”。送你一朵小红花，缉魂......13年的北京遇上西雅图还能大大方方拍女同性恋。“现在是92年不是29年”；现在是21年还不如92年。这也删那也删不合理的审查制度才最该删。
