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'.

社会的族群议题与类型片的结构粘合非常不错。
一个传说因为肤色不能在一起还被迫害的故事、一个你只要在欧美说出来就会遭到报复的名词、一个不断在叫嚣着无法呼吸但还是要拿2000W的群体、一个你偶尔透过监控看到对老年人重拳出击并洗劫商铺的邪灵，他们有的说自己是摩尔人有的一边抱怨社会的不公一边欺压着更少更弱的人。哦，对不起对不起，山竹君你误会了我说的是新上映的《糖果人》。
倍速＋拖进度条看完。全剧唯一的印象深刻之处，就是女主演唱会上的婚纱，能不能不要这么紧啊！！！胸都被压平了，副乳也被挤出来了，女主健美的手臂和肩膀真的不适合这种婚纱，可能是为了说明这段婚姻是不适合她的，可前面又特意指出这件婚纱是定做的（所以我就一直纠结为啥要这样安排）婚纱本身非常美，女主也很美，但完全不搭啊。后面穿得不露肩和带袖子的衣服立马感觉瘦了好几个码！！
能把这么有意思的偶像剧设定拍得这么难看也是一种本事
天呐倒不说詹妮弗像个假人 欧文在里面简直是老气横秋 我就没有一点看出来他们两个来电 好像两个夕阳老人在那逢场作戏 我还以为欧文那个角色能有个什么转折点 转变丑小鸭变白天鹅那种 结果一直就平淡无奇…很差 无语了
能再上一个深度 如果导演不执着于为黑人创造hero
影像和配音，是奥斯卡级别的！导演节奏也非常赞！但是价值观太恶心了。要想反抗种族歧视，就必须杀白人，对吧？
开头被镜面和颠倒的世界惊艳到，越到后面越喜欢！蜂巢太赞。这么暗黑的candyman怎么能去漫威呢，必须DC🌚
最后的20分钟看完...只能吐一句这是什么烂结尾
挺好玩的，女主发现未婚夫出轨果断换人，这点很好，就是在台下随便抓人显得草率，不过她有足够的底气支撑她。结婚之后都在嘲讽女主，感觉好难受，明明是未婚夫的错，却都去嘲讽女主。
太幼稚了。恐怖片按影片吓人程度分量级的话，这得是草量级吧。如此稚嫩、平庸且枯燥，难不成是专门拍给小朋友看的恐怖片？全片唯一吓人的地方，或者应该说是会引起人们生理不适的地方，是黑人皮肤上密密麻麻的凹槽，密集恐惧症慎入。不应该叫糖果人，应该叫蜂巢人，听着就吓死人了。
很像没文化版的美国诺丁山，看回海报还是惊呼当场结婚的剧情：甘都得？！owen wilson的鼻子在海报上也好像p正了
抱歉，整部电影我不知道拍什么，故事是什么我也不懂，看不明白
乔丹皮尔带领大家写就了一篇又一篇《讨白贼檄文》。
2、其实影片的创意不错，欧文和詹妮弗的表演也不错，电影的扑街，编剧和导演绝对要负主要责任，一是剧情太过套路，情节发展全在意料之中，毫无惊喜可言；二是人物刻画没有走心，只停留在纸片人的层面，复杂度不够，可信度很低，很难引发共情。
电影宣传做的很火，剧情非常一般，很cliche美国浪漫爱情故事，还是已经老去的中年人，大女主人设很女权。但是，歌曲和舞台效果太好了。然后，剧情非常流畅。还是为演员们点赞。多给一星的歌曲。
他们俩是如何做到如此典型的霸总和娇妻的？！男主简直是霸总的那朵小白花本花
都2022年了，為什麼還有人要講先婚後愛，為什麼還有人要看先婚後愛？如果郭敬明翻拍《諾丁山》的話，差不多就是這樣，看不見愛情，只有霸總與傻白甜性轉標籤，繼續著愛情片套路，再填塞換裝秀和Drama，可惜，又不夠美娛圈真實的Drama那麼刺激。
哈哈哈哈哈让人脚趾抠地的chick flick，但是2022年还有人拍让人脚趾抠地的chick flick真好
野心太大 背景太复杂 戛然而止 风格把控尚可
