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'.

东三省草根喜剧天团大集合，笑梗不断，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！！！
有包袱、有戏剧冲突、有反转、人物立体，结局圆满。
#BJIFF2021主竞赛单元#中国美术学院作品，美术实在了得。同《影》一样的水墨化色彩，解决了《影》里脸部发绿的问题，这种去饱和的色彩还挺符合战争题材。剧作方面还是散了点，导致影片内涵很浅，如此拍电影，讲故事似乎成了一件形式主义的事情。
题材还行，但是拍的中规中矩，既不好笑，也不煽情，佳佳不留根儿还得努力啊，勉勉强强及格，三星鼓励一下吧。
👍👍👍我们特别的想问东北人；模仿王晶王家卫的风格有意思吗？？？？
就图一乐。因为老四黑社会那段拿捏的死死的，所以看了下，这不能算电影，搞笑片段合集。
很好的题材，像一个带着经历的故事，也像一个爱电影人的梦
蕴含着对特殊人群关怀内核的一部喜剧，觉得拍的也挺好的了。选角上，张琪、教母、老四这几个真的觉得是挺出彩的，也感受到了佳佳对于老朋友的照顾。觉得在这个大环境底下，能拍出来这样的电影已经挺不错的了，值得鼓励，佳佳是个好演员，还是个有追求的导演！看见他就觉得挺喜人的，也接地气。
前半段很不错，后半段剧本还得再打磨。不过喜剧效果已经做的很好了。
一看全是老熟脸，烧烤剧组又聚齐了。故事中的笑料包袱还行。
题材还行，但是拍的中规中矩，既不好笑，也不煽情，佳佳不留根儿还得努力啊，勉勉强强及格，三星鼓励一下吧。
殡葬行业角度选的很好，但没表现出行业特点来，有点流于表面。
表演也还好，并不矫情，虽然还是有浓浓东北土味，但是国产电影值得肯定和鼓励。
低俗油滑的方言、低劣愚横的行事展现，除了孙越和二手玫瑰，都让人恶心透顶
有笑点，剧情设计也蛮亮眼的，就是刘平安和范大明白到底啥关系没看懂啊。
这就是合家欢的网络大电影水平了，整挺热闹。
三分电影，一分给网大，算是对网大的支持了，崔志佳你也太胖了，跟当年爱笑会议室的崔志佳差太多了，电影虽然还走着小品的套路，但是有一些导演的诚意在里面，算是国内网大中为数不多的好片了，比开心麻花一些电影小品赚票房来的实在。
故事硬伤太多，但是小俏皮段子太搞笑了。“你烧水呢？！”“包子就是昨天的”hhhh
对于他的第一部导演处女座和首次主演来讲，还算可以了
