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'.

本部影片把焦点放在了家庭关系以及相关法律上，故事可能不是一个好故事，但是确实能引发人们的思考，关于同性伴侣家庭可能会出现的问题以及法律存在的一些难题。
3星给形式尝试，但说真的，国内绘本创作真不行，多是成人视角，还有些是作者儿时记忆，差距太大了
演员颜值都好高啊，男主长的有点像甜茶，全片笑点不停，三个小孩洗手间那段真的能笑死人哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
PS:我突然想到一种可能，后来世界变得荒芜了，我们成了全世界……
许多家庭都会遇到的琐事，但出现在同性婚姻中却又那么特别
有两位父亲的十几岁少年制作了一部有关双亲的纪录片
④糖水，广式温情，转场好看。生活气十足。
最喜欢哼将军和哈将军 外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅 小火车
总算见识了一下友邻口中的意大利狗血哈哈……以为最后还会有个转折结果没了 另外在里面听到ig的歌了……brings back memory...不知道他现在在干嘛
无法苟同出轨是两个人的责任，在一段关系中，出现了问题，第一时间应该是沟通，表达自己的不满，去解决问题，而不是逃避出轨。出轨就是一个人的责任。
我觉得还是挺不错的，看的很开兴，可以打一个八分
明亮：虽然7段故事没有情节方面的连结，却都在颂扬真善美，而又都能充满童趣，是一部有着明亮底色贯穿的专辑；
千万不要买包含主创分享的票，太无聊太拖沓了，主创加工作人员把通道、荧幕下方、出入口一堵，谋杀百余号人类一个半小时生命。切切切！
中间串场的儿歌很有爱啊，画风让我想起了大坏狐狸的故事。
ok我从没看电影那么折磨，几乎讨厌所有人 ，出轨是两方错的价值观，几乎不关心你的朋友，都交往了还问你是不是gay的女友，还有他的暴力狂哥哥，自己也是个不care家人的混蛋，或许是演技太差，看的我真是谢
Blanco's song hit different 💕💕
永远可以相信语言具有丰富性的作品。两个镜头看出这是哪个城市，有点小得意
许多家庭都会遇到的琐事，但出现在同性婚姻中却又那么特别
短片的体量丰富了视觉介质，大部分短片在结局时都制造了对动画与现实的指涉。比较喜欢《萤火虫》、《小火车》、《哼哈二将》。
中国需要更多这样关注小故事、质感多样化的动画电影:)
