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'.

剧情方面，感觉又有看凤凰社或者阿兹卡班的囚徒那种感觉了！罗琳很会安排悬念和伏笔，很会收线。感情方面，罗琳很懂怎么嗑，很懂怎么发糖又发刀。第一次看魔法系列看得想哭。结尾邓布利多一个人站在雪里，让我想起在花生婚礼上，卷福一个人推开门，消失在夜色里的背影。“还有谁爱你呢邓布利多，你将从此孤独。”他说。触碰你时，心脏明明还跳得剧烈，他却消失在山崖，一去不返。杀人诛心啊！罗琳太太！😭
小人物虽然见钱眼开自私鸡贼但在大是大非面前表现的有原则有底线，强剧情，女猪脚有颜值有演技，好看~
▫️3的人物塑造已经连糊弄都不屑于了，仍然靠全员大眼瞪小眼和尬笑来推进剧情，也许这剧本确实已经被电影公司改的面目全非，前面默默然的线索被生硬切断，强行加入不知所谓的麒麟来逗你玩（呵…选举那完全是来搞笑的！比我们楼下居委会还随便呢！
这电影还真是个谜，演了一个半小时都不知道两边到底想干嘛。粉丝也太惨了，就几分钟那么点糖得熬这么久，磕得还没头没尾的。

好看的電影，就是中間有點拖沓。其實完全可以在一個半小時以内説完整個故事。題材真的很先鋒，放在中國是絕對無法拍的。
真神奇啊其他电影是简介好无聊打开好好看，这个系列都是看情节我擦一定很好看真的去电影院我？连大银幕都无法制造记忆。能不能好好拍神奇动物、格林德沃霸权、旷世虐恋？闲杂人等太多了，太松散又太小家子气了，明明是全球性的大恐怖，搞得像一个村级别的书记改选危机一样。魔法世界那么多，哈利波特的魅力……看来作者自己来也无法复刻。
年代感极强 导演画面处理水平一流 剧情平铺直叙 后面有起伏 我喜欢这种电影
请不要因为低分就不出了！我爱看！粉丝爱看！请一直出到第十部！哪一天不能在大屏幕看到霍格沃茨我的生活都会失去盼头好吗
为人父母看这片，随随便便就会当作全年最佳。
明天婆婆就要做手术了 今晚婆婆很紧张 kept on murmuring and asking the same questions again and again 我发现对付她的办法是问三次回一次 慢慢没兴趣了她就睡觉了 腰治好了接下来可能alzheimer更不好弄 这电影在国内拍绝对要被攻击成辱华了 女主好看 思路也清晰 年纪大了 生了娃可以演妈妈角色 这个交易没有合同 很多风险 不可抗力 执行过程都有风险 肚子大了能查唐氏综合征了？现在科技这么发达了 这是不是在暗示美国人特别浪漫天真 喜欢干一些惊天动地的事情或者怂恿别人干件大事然后一看势头不对立马消失？这里面还讨论了宗教问题 穆斯林跟印度教冲突挺大的
选题挺好，但没有往更真实残酷的方向拍，最后还是给了个合家欢大团圆的结局。
出门看上imax的愿望终于出现了。邓布利多说不可思议的事会变得寻常的时候、重回霍格沃茨看到几个魁地奇练习者的时候还是有被感动到。但整个故事相当的单调，麒麟选君简直让人怀疑团队是不是连花清瘟吃多了，bow to Dumbledore的时候尬到死，always来得过分廉价，片尾曲烂成渣。感觉全场观众都是腐女来的；好像确实也是的。。
而且節奏真的挺拖拉的
又玩儿德三梗，可我觉得德三都比你们魔法世界民主...
很奇特的故事，代孕，不深沉又很现实，故事一波三折，充满欢乐又充满了无奈~挺好看的
结局泪目, 很喜欢最后的结局, 有爱的家庭不一定是亲生, 我想说里面没有坏人,每个人都有自己的困境, 如果最后孩子不健康,可能是个大大的悲剧,所以没有错, 我们毕竟是在现实的生活中,也感谢电影的好的设定,引出了更宏大的话题, 怒赞5星, 印度才是亚洲的好莱坞.
结尾虽然展现了人性的善和爱，但总有点不接地气。如果是我的孩子，我一定会自己亲自照顾，而不是交给别人。
这电影好像讲了些什么，又好像什么都没讲……
