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'.

想起我老家的一户邻居，一对聋哑夫妻生了四个儿子，其中三个也是聋哑人，只有一个能正常听和说。那个正常的儿子一边被家人宠成了小霸王，一边又被外人嘲笑肯定是个私生子…成年后的“小霸王”好像突然就转性了，扛起了这个残疾之家的重任。后来，“小霸王”不幸死于几年前那场著名的大雾天高速路80余车追尾事故。葬礼上来了一个陌生的大爷哭得最惨，村民们一看，肉眼可见的与“小霸王”相似度99%以上。于是，唏嘘之余几十年前的流言又起……
罗西一家不是没有爱，也不是不珍惜爱，而是他们没有认识到爱的力量！详细影评：https://movie.douban.com/review/14401338/
“唱歌对你来说意味着什么”“……生命的最爱”。家人是否理解天赋潜能对孩子的意义，与聋哑等残疾无关。尊重和支持，而不是装聋作哑只顾自身功利，才能化解与孩子之间的隔阂
冷漠的世间只要有一点点真情，也足够让人感到温暖！
比贝利叶一家更通顺通俗了，也更青春靓丽了，可惜改编本身并没有什么实质性的再创作，选歌也差远了，那首点睛之笔的远走高飞，哪怕再回想起来都潸然泪下。也许这样一部笔触更轻的青春片，才能得到更多人的喜欢吧，它越被人喜欢，我却越怀念那个温暖的贝利叶一家。
都能传递前所未有的体验
是一部文学性与视觉表现都很好的作品，用渔夫的淳朴上进去对比官府的腐败堕落，对于东西方观念、人和人的相处、官和民的关系的呈现虽然表面直白，但有一定批判性。青鸟、乌贼墨、鱼之道等等的比喻贴合故事主题还很有诗意。
熟悉的配方熟悉的味道，一切都是套路满满，女主差一点就能加入父母皆祸害小组。
audition时候的手语双重传达把影片拔高了，同时也呼应和解答了父母听自己首演时的无声观感。但还是有明显瑕疵，直接回避了自己如果去读音乐学院家中留人如何解决这一主要冲突，不完美但还是很美的电影。
温馨，皆大欢喜。选择了要走的路，并且也最终得到了支持，本身就是很幸福的事了。
这样的小品虽然情节在意料之中，但无数有爱的细节还是止不住让人喜爱。
A girl aims to improve her singing technique, in a environment full of sex, although without verbal communication.
但除了各种正确以外，这本质上是个与原生家庭的痛苦剥离却又不得不这么做的故事。
一个温暖、平和的故事，把残障家庭生活、少女成长、青春期恋情很好地融合在一起，感情真挚，有笑有泪。鲁比的家庭成员实在是太有趣，贡献了全片的笑点，和谐的家庭关系也是影片着重强调的主题。前半段吸引人，后半段一些桥段还是老套，虽然亲情和残障元素可以使人感动，但如此好题材只是以如此情节收尾还是令人感到略有遗憾。本片斩获奥斯卡最佳影片实让我感叹现在奥斯卡水平之低。
首先故事线就很戏剧张力：聋哑家庭的正常孩子；每个生活的细节都稳稳地戳到了我：爸妈去接女儿车里巨大的音响让女儿尴尬，女儿的演出爸妈打错拍子的无措，爸妈和老师那个“尴尬”的招呼…这些点点滴滴都没说爱，却都是爱
94th奥斯卡最佳影片。但是这片子实在是没啥可说。平庸老套而已。美国保守主义价值观的胜利罢了。
梦想与亲情，理解与尊重，好故事值得被唱响。
原谅我一直代入苏东坡。一个出身名门，见过世面，致力于打破阶层，提倡人人平等的大家。一个出身低微，企图通过读书出人头地，投身仕途改变体制的年轻人。相识于微，却都无法真正的改变现状。
当然，这一点只是后者的表达之一。它还兼顾探讨了知识何用，真理标准，以及面对一个糟糕的体制，是投入其中努力改变，还是干脆做一个潇洒的隐士？
因为突然发现我有点讨厌女主，所以又去把法国版剧情找出来刷了一遍。美版给女主谈恋爱的情节太多笔墨，对家人的感情也基本一直处于对抗和想逃脱的情绪，显得自私且不负责任。这导致后面的和解和转变非常生硬。相比之下法国版更多是靠误会创造冲突，至少每个人看起来都是在为对方着想。
