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'.

拍得真的好说教看到后面就“像TED…”。性转一下丧妻男嫖年轻女孩儿还要给人当爹上课最后说其实我也性压抑，就是个毫无被拍摄成电影可能的稀松平常又让人讨厌的事吧。看不出来除了男主的脸和身材有啥好赞美的。
我的熊猫我做主！我的青春我做主！我的人生我做主！东方女性的母女和解之道。
这些外国人和中国人都有一个共同的特点，那就是他们都不认识中国。
青春期也是孩子自我意识萌芽的时期，小熊猫就是这自主意识的形象化代表。小熊猫可爱，但是需要被驯服，这是孩子们本能的一部分，是她的动物性，可以是力量，也可以是一种威胁。剥离这些欲望人就也不再是她自己，但她也变得像所有家族里的人一样，照顾家庭，无怨无悔。但时代变了，也许我们可以扣着自己的小熊猫，和她一起做更好的自己，小熊猫不会失控，而是我们的救星。
谁不想一直年轻，可年轻只是和童话一般的传听
太好看了吧，有青春期的躁动，有和父母的摩擦，有母女的相处，更有做自己的青春期感悟，这么多命题完美的融合到了一起，影院上映再去刷一波
3.5星。谁能不爱男团啊（重点误。同事聊起这部电影，吐槽美美像极了职场上的某种奋斗批，从违抗母亲立定的优秀标准开始，她就远离这种塑形道路了吧。那种没有审美没有个性，只知道一味的迎合领导标准，在各项指标中力求第一的应试教育式奋斗批。
又好笑又感动，不过还是很羡慕美美，和中式家长唯一的不同就是：他们才不会承认自己错了🥲
每一个亚裔和中国家庭长大的女孩，应该都会懂得。成长的迷惘和悸动自然跃跃欲试，可是不想离开母亲，不想放弃对原生家庭的眷恋，又是每一个女孩都会有的。母亲过度关注导致的羞耻，对红猫熊的压抑，还有母亲为了家庭和孩子而自愿放弃红猫熊，都细腻可感。最后这些，都融入东方隐喻的竹林里的那一切和解。真是好电影，8.2有点太低了。
一间房、两个人的长片，编剧可以封神了。一开始，看到两个人开房，我暗想：“不要露点、不要出现啪啪啪镜头”。完全符合观影预期。如果一开始啪啪啪，就定了情涩的调了，就俗套了。编导很清楚这点，所以影片清新脱俗。实际还是情涩片，只不过是注重精神内涵、不以视觉刺激取胜的情涩片。性的主题、欲望话题从始至终。每个眼神、每句台词、每个镜头，充满性暗示。但导演的克制，俘虏了观众，从心甘情愿“求而不得”，到最后“高潮”。前面95分钟是“前戏”，最后2分钟是“X高潮”。
无聊版的state of union，毫无电影感，看似以单刀直入谈性色变社会症结的巧妙角度讨论中年女性广泛面临的性羞耻和性压抑，实则还是那套乏味至极的弗洛伊德陈词滥调。第三幕的强行冲突尽显编剧的能力不足。第四幕收尾我们似乎认识了Nancy，但对Leo的塑造远未达到剧本预期的身心彼此探索「疗效」，他依然是个提供欢愉的圣人，仅此而已。作为年轻演员和表演大师在戏剧空间互动的教材仍有意义，但除非对演员感兴趣否则可以直接跳过这部。
旁观者清的外国人是看的更透彻一点
居然有比疯狂原始人2雷霆狂花还搞笑的集体亮相，笑傻了woc。
太可爱了吧！！！一家子红色panda！！妈妈居然是吴珊卓配的！美美简直是本追星女孩本我！！爱了爱了
肯定是到了岁数，更知晓交心的珍重，陪伴的弥恒
东亚文化圈内有这样一种叛逆：小时候唯父母、老师命是从的好孩子长大了反而会更加激烈地反抗父母，而从小就不听话的坏学生反而会早早地过上循规蹈矩的生活。
和之前某个时刻的自己和解了😭😭😭😭😭我不必感到羞耻的😭我不必😭😭狠狠共情😭熊猫太可爱了，我好爱那个动情的眼神动画😋😋
断断续续的音乐最初只在调情时响起，第一段落将结时却不知不觉在诉说心声时响起，美妙而俏皮的表意。打开自己对一些人而言是个漫长的命题，被接纳的渴望与本能的释放往往微妙交织。那些永远无法被他人给予的，你只能且终将诉诸自身，越是难以取得，越是证明它的罕有，如同你事实上需要一只猫在身边一小时并在最后无声离去那般独一无二，而你也许很晚才能探索到那个答案。
女主真的很像一位越南裔油管博主，结尾妈妈说“你走得越远，我就越骄傲”恐怕是永远不能relate
6.28 没想到竟然是一部室内二人转话疗片，最喜欢的两个镜头其实是艾玛汤普森在卫生间，男主角百无聊赖发呆的状态，呼之欲出穿透屏幕的空虚
