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'.

能现场看一定很欢乐，最近看的西班牙电影从来没让我失望，西语听起来也感觉越来越舒服了
两位typical “loser” men刻画的挺形象的lol
噱头题材，商业讽刺。拿高倍镜去看一部电影的创作过程，让观众参与到围读和排演的台前幕后，不遗余力地、惟妙惟肖地将行业每一环的建设者及行业建成本身都奚落了一番。不过话说回来，无论影视产业如何如何，多数人在看的，不就是这个娱乐生态的浮夸与热闹吗，且这些制造商们也深谙此道，就连本片的选题初衷和诞生目的，不就是为了满足大众的揭露欲吗，这不也是对“娱乐至上主义”的一种顺水推舟吗。一旦明白本作的消费意味大于批判意味，好像就不必去较真儿去责难了。 * 说回电影，几位主演鱼贯而入“借题发挥”的表现实在太棒了，奉献了好几堂戏里与戏中戏里的生动表演课，这是对本片最大的加成。以及，Penélope Cruz永远那么迷人那么美丽。
店长的戏很薄弱，看点全在父亲身上，看他是如何从刚愎暴躁一步步柔软下来的。
为了一个不肯反思的父亲得到释然，影响了另外两个人的悲剧，内心脆弱的人受伤总是最深的，原谅自己就是和自己和解，过多的愧疚是情感的负累，恶性循环走向崩溃，所幸这个父亲想开了知道道歉了清楚自己的错了真的后悔了明白宽容了，这个店长也因为别人一句感激减轻了愧疚感有了新方向，逝者已矣，可惜不能更早和解，观众要看到这种本不该发生的悲剧懂得珍惜现在拥有的美好，宽容，别等到事后后悔。
玩我！？？真以为得癌症了，我还想发展这么普通，然后…演的好好（鼓掌！立体化讽刺，绞碎奖杯那里我笑的想死Hahhahah
旬报十佳。成年人的崩溃往往就在一瞬间。感觉古田新太或者松坂桃李都有资格拿个男主角奖。这是“岛中之岛”的故事，也和日本人的国民性格密切相关。事件中没有绝对意义上的“坏人”，每个人都是从自己的立场出发，在传统媒体和社交媒体的推波助澜下，愤怒得找不到出口，最终达至连锁性的互害。是伪善？是自我满足？其实只是为了与自己和解。
靠剧本和演员托举的讽刺喜剧，导演只做了伪cinema的工作，讽刺的也不过是一个剧组里最容易想象的情况，故事里擦边现实和电影行业的地方，是一种high点，最出色的还是演员的表演，导演在视听上做不到的虚假细节暗示，反而演员靠微表情的细节给到了。这部电影本身就是讽刺吧，一个拿了金棕榈和金狮的天才女导演，拍的主竞赛电影竟然是这种水平。
电影人的自嘲，虽然有些表面化但挺好玩。
题材和角度让人耳目一新，可惜新的成分居多，趣味性方面对标《杰出公民》来说，还差了一筹
人们往往只喜欢自己能明白和理解的东西，主观臆断并渐渐养成根深蒂固的品味，事实上真正能够流芳百世的艺术作品的基础是令人感动
嘲讽力十足哇！“电影怎么样才算结束了？”这个问题还蛮有意思的。
题外话：看到别人在自己面前眼睁睁的死了 还是被撞死的 这心理压力得多大啊..
所谓不幸，大概就是所有的各种各样的有形的无形的伤害一点一滴的堆积起来，最终杀死了一个女孩。谁有资格去指责任何一个人物呢？指责之前先假设自己就是这个人物，站在他的立场上，自己会这么做？

好喜欢那块“石头”。今年的好电影怎么都有石头的精彩演出哈哈哈
校方踢皮球，媒体瞎剪辑，渔民变牛郎，不懂少女漫，热心大婶之吻，失传超市便当，透明指甲油，天上海豚云，但最绝望的还是葬礼上的母亲道歉，太苦了，所有人都好苦
3.5 a good laugh (if you need one). Penelope Cruz还是好迷人哦！
哈哈哈，太好笑了，一本正经的好笑……这样的演员阵容怎么能错过呢！不过这种戏中戏略微缺乏新意……
海边的曼彻斯特是独白，这是群像，社会事件，多米诺骨牌效应，角度复杂多变。古田新太厉害👍🏻
