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'.

漫画现实虚虚实实轻松又神经的反转，还有那么一点点的女性出走。出片尾的塑料爱很点题I'm just playing games I know that's plastic love
差点要被黑木华给骗过去，漫画的分镜都画的很好看，也没想到用出轨来复仇出轨的反击表现的还很温柔，虚虚实实的悬疑看到最后挺让人回味的，片尾曲还翻唱了竹内玛利亚的City Pop神曲plastic love。
interesting
看到丈夫被骗的一愣一愣的，就连出轨对象也不以为然发出了爽朗的笑声，真的觉得好好玩，这场复仇漂亮极了！
消失的爱人的日本版，小成本方寸间游刃有余，着实厉害。可惜没有ntr，过于性冷淡。谜团太淡，倒是显得真实。
结尾真不错！！！华妹和柄本佑我都好喜欢，奈绪也很逗，金子没出来多久但是也好温柔嘤嘤嘤。男主渣是真渣啊，不过这种反击我真的是太喜欢了，虚晃一下，太爽了。
想上道（出轨）的时候偏偏就能遇上老司机（教练）。电影前半部很容易被男女主普通的外貌迷惑，以为电影也平淡无奇，只有看到最后才突然有一种脊背发凉但又或许暴爽的感觉。相比，这部电影才应该叫“开我的车”。（2022-16）
有些教育意义叭，让后一代知道人与自然的相处，人独立思考而不是跟随这western eyes，但是只能说是很天真的一部电影，现实中人与自然哪有这么容易和谐？人类永远需要食物就像猎人永远需要猎物一样。
欲望屈从现实，现实与幻想交合，将悬念推向高潮，黑木华这个角色就是智慧的化身，面对背叛，瓦解真相，制造幻想，电影和漫画的魅力就是无数次的将真实与虚无分解
好久没看到金子大地演这种安静 性格又好的帅哥了，少演点儿搞笑男吧kkkk
居然是喜剧。唉最近为啥都是这种小品。看得非常不得劲。
这烂片一颗星都不值。
看到小女孩出现就猜到了是环保主题 不能说不好 故事讲的比较完整 就是有的梗太旧了 但是确实 人类在毁灭整个地球
故事展开渐渐变了味道，有些过于简单和低幼化了
有意思的是自始至终任何一位女性都没把丈夫当回事
制作精良，画面挺精致的。和驯龙高手有点像。
就连《金鱼妻》都比这强得多。
把出軌給畫出來傳真給先出軌的老公看，太狠了，關鍵是鄉下的駕校怎麼可能有這麼帥的駕校教練🌚
里面的漫画也好看
出轨的时候觉得刺激和荣耀，妻子出轨时觉得惊讶和羞辱，被妻子发觉出轨的时候悔恨和自责。男人真是奇怪的生物。比起「妻子」的复仇我更愿意称之为「漫画家」的复仇，提起笔来纸上沙沙作响，我的才能和想象就是我的武器。
