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'.

结局有点拉，但是就网大来说整体还是挺不错的
为了几个片段看完整部电影，还行吧，一部充满迷影情节的网大。
即不写实也与诗电影无关，甚至连电影节奏都拿捏不对，就是部劣质斯坦尼康合集
龙姨一颗星，致敬《当年情》一颗星，致敬《古惑仔》一颗星，所有的包袱和铺垫一颗星。
新人导演，看得出佳佳是很有想法的，投入的感情很足。虽然视听有瑕疵，但第一次拍还是很棒的，故事很温馨，切入的视角也有社会责任
题材挺有意思的，有点《大碗》的影子，不过故事差太多了
没睡着已经很努力了
葬礼是给活人看的
剧情比较拉垮。搞笑与煽情都过于浮夸。还有，看得出来导演有几分文艺情怀，但这不是放几张电影海报就能充分表达的。论所谓的“东北文艺复兴”，还是得看《钢的琴》。
上个月已阅的片子，同系列还有一步，不是影院片，个人觉得还ok
总结：故事结构合理，反转也有很好的解释，最后主角和刀爷一种不同的关系解开，很有意思。每一个处理的细节都值得去推敲。有一说一，二手玫瑰客串很惊喜，葬礼的场面很盛大，节奏很合理。
中国喜剧电影也不知道是咋滴了，这一部我都觉得特别好，爽点真是越来越低
剧情内核主题很明确，演员演技恰到好处，找的演员都是东北比较有口皆碑的。
先说优点，摄影讲究，音效丰富，打鱼小妹的吴侬软语好听，在杜比厅里看很沉浸。再说缺点，套一层黑白滤镜≠水墨化，吝啬台词≠诗意≠适合战争题材，相比起来还是《1917》看着舒服。综上，我愿称之为本届北影节最佳催眠影片。
好糟糕的影像啊，同场的影调不仅不能统一，许多场戏中的低调画面大量暗部细节也是丢失的，而层次丰富的画面又有过度锐化的问题，人物群像的画面构成有着明确的画意二维指向，但其他许多画面构成都是既没有二维的美感又没有三维的纵深，几个有明显技术缺陷的zoom就更不用提了（虽然设计是不错的）…全片后期配音的决定是灾难级的，所有人声都拙劣地用混响去做空间感，但呈现出来都是脆的，棚感足足…几场幻象的戏份还是有趣的，但本子本身就有点没劲儿了
随份子就是一张彩票，是个好思路，说不定人家就发了。
7分。好久没有一个人到电影院了，看的时候有几个场景还有点瘆人。中国美术学院出品，画面是挺美的，故事也简单，人物塑造不够丰满，看起来差点味道，总觉得流于表面，虚实结合的手法有点意思，实在表达主角对自己的行动内心也是怀疑的吗？
如果单纯的圆满结局以及强行感动就是喜剧的话，那级别实在是太低了
开头的讨债那段词写得好。真的好好笑哈哈哈。故事和笑点是好的。电影的节奏有点生疏。给东北办葬礼，这个象征可以的。唉 导演功力还是有限，很好的点子。
