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'.

两星半吧…看在沈腾马丽的份上勉强给个及格分。果然不该对国产喜剧片抱有期待，真的是看得我如坐针毡、如芒刺背、如鲠在喉…完全不懂严良普普、八级钳工、黄子韬等一众角色存在的意义是什么…尤其是全人类举起手电筒发出微光的场景尬得我啊…后面马丽同志慷慨激昂、满含热情地说“无论什么时候我们都不能放弃任何一个人”可一开始你不是明明看到了但放弃了吗…好吧好吧，喜剧片不能讲逻辑，科幻部分的内容有没有道理反正我一个文科生也看不懂，总之就是从头尬到尾。影院里有人对那些俗套的包袱笑就算了，到后面竟然还听到有人啜泣的声音，我真的…
音乐特效画面都一流。故事弱，英雄主义没有流浪地球有说服力和感染力。导演能力一般，独角戏和群像戏拍的都挺干瘪的。煽情过多，节奏也差。包袱和梗没啥意思。沈腾演技没的说，就是胖的有点油了，显得舔狗舔的有点猥琐了，马丽演技单一，hold不住冷面心热的女上司。群像里除了致敬流浪地球的兄妹，一个有台词的女角色都没有。呵呵。让我真心发笑的点只有给袋鼠配音那一处，剩下都不是真的好笑。
比以前所有麻花作品加起来都要更像一部成熟商业电影，宁愿这样的电影每年来一打都不想再看到一部什么西红柿李茶夏洛特。多加一星支持麻花继续朝这个方向做下去，不要因为部分观众突然笑不出来了又继续去做那些粗制滥造的小品段子长视频（当然舔番茄酱的设计大可不必
怎么说呢 无法言表 沈马是银屏里的最佳拍档 那么独孤月和马蓝星就是拥挤银河里的两颗并排的星星 看似那么靠近却又遥不可及 但正是这种距离才让独孤月如此的想要拉进两人之间的距离 我始终觉得 他们是最懂彼此的人 是互相成全 更是彼此成就 “我的大脑 为了你已经疯狂到 脉搏心跳没有你 根本不重要”
看似在博彩众长和致敬经典科幻电影，实则是低级的模仿，剧作的逻辑性基本可以忽略不计，不然会脑袋爆炸；喜剧性上还是没有脱离开以往的尴尬框架，好在这次换成了沈腾和马丽，通过表演化解了些许尴尬，你可以想象一下如果主角换成黄才伦将会多么灾难。泪点的渲染并没有像基于情感推进，而且通过集体性的力量强行推进煽情，你可以那一刻会被感动，但并不会怀念这种感动，轻易的感动总是留不住人心。科幻工业确实做了功课和努力，但并没有特别之处。值得一说的只有沈腾和马丽的表演了～不愧是开心麻花台柱子。
一坨制作精良的屎。荒诞不是荒唐+扯淡！闹剧！排得不能再满了 连迪迦奥特曼都出来了
看起来普普通通的中国阿姨一般都是深藏不露 这一点中外达成共识 中国元素拉满 工夫 针灸 唐人街 搞不懂为什么国内看不了 我们要文化自信啊
睡过头了，错过了想看的电影。乖。但美学堪忧。硬插东方元素，不可以。
三个必看的理由：沈马合体+含腾量百分百+全球顶流刚子，去看吧，一定不会失望的
就，还行吧，前半部分不咋地，后半部分略好一些。整体上来说不至于是个让人太翻白眼的电影，确实能笑出来。可以排上麻花前三（但是麻花本身也就那样）。沈腾叔叔正经起来比喜剧式不着调要帅和讨喜。“你也知道，没别的办法了。”这句词之后转身前的那个眼神帅了我一下。行星爆炸的镜头做得还挺美。同意有个友邻的评价，作为科幻不合格，作为喜剧也不合格，但是把科幻和喜剧相结合还算成了一部成功的商业电影。Fly me to the moon，country road等用的插曲都很不错。
我以爱你之名独行星河，我以星光点点带你回家，π+π-之间，刚子！你慢点。
能接棒人生大事多少救一救这个快要让人记不起来的华语电影市场。但我还是不喜欢喜剧电影里面太多煽情场面，我进电影院看喜剧只是为了笑而已。
月球上的袋鼠雪橇很酷，其余的感觉都不太行，一是实在是跟《火星救援》太像了，二是煽情的部分毫无 build up，感觉很尴尬，我挠了下额头，旁边的小朋友惊呼道：不是吧？这你也哭？
普通人拯救世界的故事。
这么说吧，中国电影想超40亿，起码得献祭一条人命。
科幻迷们是我最不能理解的群体。原来喜欢说科幻部分不严谨，我问他们有什么bug呢，他们又说不出来。于是改成了科幻部分不硬核。哦合着国外科幻可以有软科幻硬科幻，国内就只有硬核科幻和烂科幻？
能在煽情的地方加入笑点显得不那么尴尬，开头还浅浅内涵了一下官媒，能在现在这个环境下看到一部合格的商业片属实不易，好日子还在后头呢
科幻质感与视听语言都挺不错，开心麻花在视觉上进步飞速。很多笑料不仅仅依赖于台词与肢体，通过镜头语言完成。自我营救的主干部分做得也挺完整。不过，这个剧本囿于商业喜剧大片的调性，没能开发出更多可供回味的空间。将一个受难之人塑造成宇宙英雄，这个立意背后有着对人类生存力的莫大反讽。影片对此没有深挖。将末日人类塑造成“丑角”，贡献着没有痛感与残酷感的笑料；而独孤月得知真相后，也只提供了一段拉长的、意味深长的笑容。所以，独孤月只怕还是成了另一个二舅。国产科幻这么拍下去，宁浩的《疯狂的外星人》的地位会越来越高。PS：片尾字幕特别鸣谢了高申、刘露，所以没在剧作上帮上啥忙？
上海堡垒:把门又关上了。
