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'.

平庸。表演魅力没get到，人物行为动机和感情牵绊联系没get到，和以前的作品没得比。
是枝裕和就是擅长把普通场景细腻化，洗车，火车隧道，摩天轮，关灯夜话这几个场景都挺温暖的
宋康昊的表演在他自己的作品里好像算不上出彩，甚至没留下记忆点。
如果是悬疑片 或者犯罪片 完全可以直接把孤儿院那孩子干掉 hh 当然这种展开在导演的电影里是不可能存在的 不过不知道为啥 总感觉演员演得都好假 尤其是洗车那块儿 为什么会笑？为什么要那么刻意 真的开心吗？我会这样问自己 难道是因为不是亲生的？之后的展开也有些差强人意 裴斗娜工具人实锤 或许我该把这部当作商业片 别较真 别过脑子比较好 但又想着如果可以把今 敏的《东京教父》和河濑直美的《晨曦将至》掰开揉碎结合一下 或许会出现不错的效果也说不定
深蓝色的夜，摩天轮里挡在眼睛前的手，是男孩内心深处的温柔，也是女孩最后的尊严和体面。
整体制作水平相当高，CJ请来一众顶级班底为是枝裕和保驾护航。依旧是犀利的题材角度，优秀的演员加持，和《小偷家族》相比，多了柔情和直白，少了深度和刺痛，但不应该把这份“温柔”归结成“缺点”或者“不足”。用人性的美好在“肮脏世界”里说美好，这何尝不也是一种选择呢。黑夜天台的互相质问、动车上的隧道盖住话语、洗车间的片刻大笑、摩天轮上的含蓄表白和手掌遮眼...是枝裕和依旧贡献出不少令人回味的氛围和画面。在如此动荡的大环境里，这样一部过于“美好”的片子可能不太让大众接受，但也不应该否认它的价值和初衷。不忍苛责，静水深流。
列车行驶时的谈话，光和暗影间或笼罩着素英的脸，现实和what if交错，美好终究还是delusion。
最喜欢摩天轮上的那场戏，那才是是枝裕和。人物动机和逻辑很牵强
《小偷家族》的低配，是枝裕和一贯的慢节奏，但拍得真是很平庸很无聊啊...
在警察潜伏追踪途中，也看到了这一组临时家庭的默契与温馨，他们都有美好的结局。
在犯罪、道德、家庭種種複雜環境裡尋找出了一條共贏的道路，很理想化
原本很好的基础结构，故事性太不耐看了。很日式的电影，只有宋大叔和若干个配角显得游离在平淡的其他演员和布景之外。
一场事先张扬的谋杀案与一段自我救赎的公路之旅。
清淡变成了寡淡，温情变成了温吞，一直到故事结束，五个人都没有被拧成一股绳，还是个散装家庭。女警察那条线，几乎可以说是败笔，冲淡了我对于剧情的期待。总的来说，挺失望。
是枝裕和可能是要凑个水土不服三部曲吧，上一部《真相》我已经什么都想不起来了，这次看《掮客》也是这个感觉，毫无记忆点，完全没发挥导演细微处见真章的能耐。IU演得不行啊，角色发挥空间不小，没看出导演的调教，宋康昊也只是正常发挥。
是枝裕和用他日式的家庭结构框入了一个韩国社会题材，剧作上的多重关联挺巧妙的。片子的结局处理其实蛮“中式”的，但是枝裕和用这种方式传递出了一种无奈，这可以说是韩国社会题材的一种是枝裕和式方案，法律和人情的对质下观众自有一种理解（我觉得中国导演可以学学。这部电影挺巧赶上了美国反堕胎法案这个社会议题，如此一来探讨这部电影的语境必将改变。一个男性导演让两个女性角色来争论弃婴还是杀胎的问题，这一切本身就已陷入一种桎枯之中
觉得以是枝裕和扎实的拍摄和剧本能力能够挖掘更为深刻的主题而不是陷于简单的“做坏事人物的人性微光”温情糖水片。
虽然但是 请不要共情人口贩子不要随便生孩子
以是枝裕和的标准，这一部显出平庸和疲态。熟悉的社会议题和抱有对人性的善意和温情，抛出问题的探讨并不急于给出主观结论。就像片中裴斗娜和IU对孩子生与不生的不同看法，没有标准答案。抛开出身背景，我们都“谢谢你出生到这个世界”。
就太是枝裕和了 可是日本导演应该明白只有日本演员才能和他们互相成就 比如你好之华就是个坏例子
