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'.

没有明白很多表意的符号与道具，大体意思就是试炼闯关，成为骑士
我是怎么耐着性子看到最后的？
没有很传统的讲骑士精神，甚至带了点堂吉诃德的影子，看了眼原小说的大概内容，电影里面的高文爵士其实挺贴切，反理想化。A24每次都有惊喜，片子的摄影和美术做的很棒，传说的意境感是达到的。其实抛开文化差异，它也是个不错的故事。
配乐和取景都不错，缺点在于这里面出彩的都是非人的事物。
结局一幕可以加到4星，所以绿衣骑士是张人生模拟体验卡😯，直面恐惧的意思get到了
一路开挂，家族和魔力双重庇佑，结果连神灵都要来剧透闪回教你做人。。。这就是传说中即使躺着命运也推着你成为王的一个男人！
6.5 / 不乏一些洋溢着生命力的段落，但大体上还是漫无目的的自我陶醉。
7.5/10。「准骑士高文的奇妙历险」。留白的空间似读诗般需要慢慢品味。
略有失望，并没有初看预告时的惊艳，只有邂逅巨人那段有感觉
2.5 画面很美，光影诡谲，色调很美，音乐迷人，充满诗意。但，我是在看电影，而不是只在念诗，或者是唱咏叹。
这探索迷人
还是最熟悉的亚瑟王和他的骑士，跟着导演一起启程，见证骑士的诞生过程！要是不看简介，会看的云里雾里，但是最后还是会有所交代，只是观影过程太累了！打光和特效美不胜收，章节式推动剧情，尽管节奏很慢，但是依然想说剧情看了个寂寞，文艺到极致了！
Visually extremely pleasing, but content wise not so convincing. Dev Patel is hot though.
主角是他们 人类确实有点多余 可没有人故事就不晓得怎么展开了…… 这头狼和狮子是怎么拍的 真不容易的 …… 好看 但故事太弱
太晦涩，十字军又是我因为不喜欢而造成的知识盲区，所以看不懂，欣赏不了
与《鬼魅浮生》相比最大的问题就在于前者的符号堆砌是克制且多义的，而《绿衣骑士》则沦为了主动迎合“阐释”的媚俗之作。
开头看睡了后来才精神了，如果看之前看一下绿衣骑士故事背景就好了，整部片的摄影和配乐简直像中世纪骑士rpc游戏，但是剪辑如某影评所说有点怪，预告不少镜头都没看到，而且脸盲到alicia一人分饰两角都没看出来
死亡是一场试炼，“骑士”也不完美。本片是在原著基础上对骑士精神的解构，奇幻不仅是元素也是叙事依托。在英格兰北部的迷雾、幽灵和城堡之间迷惑时，我忽然被高文面对死亡的恐惧连通。逃跑，去拥有可能广阔的人生，或者被某个瞬间的勇气说服自己。凡人，他可以在慷慨、友善和忠诚测试下一败涂地，但依旧拥有诚实面对自己的权力。绿衣骑士：小朋友，愿你珍惜这份诚实。
堂吉诃德啊，世界瞪视着你可怜地冲刺，你所能得到的最好评价，就是不置可否；
很适合小朋友看, 北在看到狮子没有跟着游回家,不知道结局会怎么样,就在黑暗的电影院里一直在抹眼泪,看得全情投入. 小朋友的善良真的浑然天成.
