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'.

不要害怕坠入爱河。一部关于女同男同形婚的电影，对于他们在生活中小心翼翼的去爱，怕被发现，怕家人嫌弃，真的心酸。形婚后的生活碰撞，很有趣，直男和gay在生活中没区别的，毕竟受到的教育都一样🤣。电影大结局很温馨，不过现实中我们都懂。

国产电影需要更多这种接地气的片子，而不是央六最爱的那些非院线电影，也不是院线那些无病呻吟故作矫情强行煽情生硬要人感动的东东。
拍得很像生活纪录片。素人演员的表演很真实了。节奏不太行，到后半段让人完全失去耐心。
妈妈的角色从头到尾都非常真实自然。影片有很多有趣的梗（撞车后吵架发现对方是老乡，于是和解）和巧妙的处理（儿子情感受挫后发型变化展示人物内心的大波动），感觉导演很善于捕捉生活的细节。
晚上买的告别场因为疫情电影院关了，只能看腾讯视频。剧本到一些小设计都看得出刻意跟老套，但是难耐真实，熟悉的深圳与潮汕文化，有丶想回去吃东西。结尾手机视频+飞机神来之笔。
这部电影拍的不错，既有轻松诙谐的喜剧做底，又有上升到对同性生活婚姻家庭的探讨。这部电影看下来不会觉得冗长，男女主颜值和演技都在线，让人观感很舒畅。不得也不佩服印度能拍出来这么开明的片子，据说他们除罪才不几年，现在都可以大方真挚地表演形婚领养。后面男主的新男友颜值有点低（唯一扣分点）。众多的戏剧冲突堆积到真相的迸发，最后男主面对那么大传统家族的七大姑八大姨都能坦白然后给女主打电话一幕有点感人。男主妈妈很幽默其实也很温柔选择了接受，女主的家人也接受了这个很难（女主的女友是亚裔黄皮肤）。最后当然皆大欢喜了。

希望happy ending尽快照进现实
还不错，最后的结局还挺感动的，男主和女主都勇敢的做了自己，特别是男主，终于敢承认了。
［8.0］挺有趣的电影，可惜因为小成本和不知名主演导致没有上映到春节档。十分推荐要带女朋友回老家的哥们看看，提前熟悉下两个不同地域之间的差异和互相的磨合处理。
大陆发展太快，让一手托起全家的妈妈三十年后再回深圳开始会想“妈妈是不是很没用”。汕头深圳杭州的辗转，时代留下的隔阂，最终在电影中月明云开。
挺可爱的作品，以神似仁科的潮汕男生带着外来媳妇见公婆为切入点描绘了极具特色的潮汕地方文化，观众像是借卢珊这个外来媳妇的视角，体会了潮汕的风土人情、宗族色彩、七大姑八大姨的碎嘴子、新旧时代的观念碰撞、迷失在方言世界里的Lost in Translation，剪不断理还乱的人情世故，熟人社会里的舆论压力，旧式父母对子女交织着爱与主宰的亲情牵绊，以及用旧潮汕和新深圳的对比来象征旧秩序的瓦解和新关系的形成，当放下身段主动去接纳孩子的新生活时，感情终究超越了乡约，走出旧乡而拥抱新的观念和变化，促成两代人的和解，结局温馨而美好，真挚而不浮夸，幽默而不尴尬，实为佳作，以及为可爱的奶奶打call。
同居两年还不生，奶奶教你；五牲高香拜三拜，心诚则灵。

“这个大家族给了我很多的爱，但我还是会时常感到孤独。”深深地共情了……电影中间有点无聊，但还是一部能让我留出眼泪来的好电影。苏米被爸爸接回家的那段，我觉得爸爸心里有两种情感在搏斗，一种是不理解、接受不了，另一种是替女儿感到难过，难过这么多年她一个人在坚持着。后者战胜了前者，不然怎么会那么难过的讲出“为什么偏偏是我的女儿”。值得一看的电影。
题材可以打4星，主旋律电影算是坏了国内市场了，观众太久没看到新鲜的故事了。宝莱坞都能拍homosexual，谁又是真正的一叶蔽目呢。
我承认，大多数汕头人都是不爱自己家乡的，不止是不爱，甚至骨子里轻蔑、嘲讽，对它的唯一认同，大概只有吃。但看了导演阿狼这4年的2部方言电影，真的能感受到有一些人是挺热爱家乡的，虽然同样身不在此。不可否认，那些深藏我们心底的“卑劣感”，也都一一呈现在影片中了，这就是我们留给外地人的刻板印象，但这就是事实。最喜欢的一点，导演并没有刻意美化家乡。——2022.4.30看完
剧情实在太拖拉了，时长太长，歌舞部分我真的有被尬到，全片的闪光点估计是题材设定和男主的身材……
拍的好好，很平实温馨，想起看俗女那些情绪，潮汕歌好感人，妈妈这个人物特别真实，无论是不是潮汕人都会共情吧
