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'.

这文戏不比tv好多了 托马老师当了爸之后更慈祥了 只能说就要男妈妈
什么鬼剧情，两颗星给片尾曲，逻辑稀碎讲故事全靠吃书，还是不要勉强自己写成人向了吧老老实实做子供向不香吗，好端端浪费了一部正统外传的篇幅，saber真的可惜了，讲故事方面个人感觉比隔壁cross-z还拉胯
美国的政治讽刺电影真是一绝，不得不服——在影片中，连美国总统和政府都被小李饰演的科学家用国骂招呼为“骗子！疯子！”，讽刺力度可见一斑。
saber的TV是好故事，但是外传跟TV几乎毫无关系而且带着莫名其妙，只能，呃，你猜为什么大家喜欢童话故事？只是因为年龄小吗？
隐喻还是很好读，北欧风格神话与配乐都是从Hilda这部动漫了解的，依然很喜欢。
挺好，非常应景了，多加一星，要是10年前小李根本演不了这种角色，因为还不够胖，整体黑的有理有据，最后竟然还有两个彩蛋，开心。
适合新年假期和家人朋友一起看，可以看到疫情时代分裂社会回归传统价值的一面，世界毁灭前，一顿最后的晚餐和祈祷让人感叹：西方人遭遇虚无果然还是耶稣啊
无辜的牺牲不可避免，谁都不想成为被牺牲的人，这个外传老实说想法不错，但他绝不应该是saber的，换任何一个骑士可能都更贴合
这阵容看着真享受。具有实效性的讽刺，荒唐。
年度搞笑大片，就是显得粗制滥造了（更搞笑了
本片属于是将Trollberg自身的历史一口气给补完了，巨魔这一巨大的线索被制作组挖掘得相当深刻。接下来的一大主线可能是这座城市背后的魔法的故事，女巫从何而来，她们扮演着怎样的角色？以及Hilda从未出现过的父亲是否在故事中真的毫无必要？
肉食者或许鄙，但一定是最先考虑自己的，所以在现在的秩序下，要么遵守然后抢到一些，要么就是默默的成为灰烬，希望那种殃及所有人的问题晚点到来，让我们爬到一个比较高的位置，可以先献祭低级的人来换取神宠。
既不是那种传统意义的灾难片，也不是那种充满英雄主义的科幻片，更多的聚焦于讽刺上，属实幽默了一把。虽然剧情没有那么经得起推敲，但看到人类文明毁灭后依旧生机勃勃的地球也挺好的，就当是一个美好愿望了吧。说起来朋友圈有人拿本片和今年西安现状做对比，确实也不是没有共感啊呵呵。
讽刺喜剧，末日片。人眼可见的慧星撞地球危机被一步步忽略。
蛮蠢的。 w/ jiajia chenchen xiaoxiao，以及投屏中断四次的乐播投屏。
时间相当紧，等于是把一个短剧的体量直接塞进了72分钟里。走的是剧情向，故事本身是很完整的，还得塞上各种变身打戏，所以只能猛赶节奏，压缩铺垫。胜在逻辑清晰，讲述英雄故事背后被牺牲的普通人，神话之下的龃龉，手持宝剑的剑客不可能永远春节，总会沾染无辜之人的鲜血虽然谈不上反英雄，但始终在讲一个温暖的故事，即使是救世主也会有爱恨情仇七情六欲，在超人的形态中，又何尝不是软肋与罪恶，最后参与叙事的片尾MV也是一个挺妙的决定，既是结局，也是撒下了甘苦交织命运的氛围定论。并进的三线中，贤人的爱情线从逻辑和布局来说都是最完整的。就是在外传中匆忙插入的未婚妻，太没实感了。
挺有意思。开嘲讽力度可以：政治、财阀、传媒、大数据……都在射程中；民粹、反智、娱乐至死……全球无一幸免。（是谁说小李子这次表演类马景涛的？看完本片我已经被洗脑且深以为然
从桥段，到形象，都是太好看的电影。每一个点，都是现实美国的写照，过去两年真真实实的上演着，编剧导演真有才。教授，主持人，总统，总统儿子那个幕僚长，老百姓被煽动，骚乱，民主，选举、流量，事实不重要，重要的是什么梗？ 目睹特朗普和更加低能的拜登，不禁想问，什么时候灯塔国变得这么魔幻的
同类型的片几乎每年都有：《大空头》《波拉特》《自助洗衣店》，绕着同一条弯路来为了黑而黑，美国人如果真的很不满现状，完全可以反抗起来的，何必走强国键盘侠的老路呢？（而且强国是因为无路可走
本片属于是将Trollberg自身的历史一口气给补完了，巨魔这一巨大的线索被制作组挖掘得相当深刻。接下来的一大主线可能是这座城市背后的魔法的故事，女巫从何而来，她们扮演着怎样的角色？以及Hilda从未出现过的父亲是否在故事中真的毫无必要？
