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'.

两个女主都很喜欢，最后被两个自由的灵魂惺惺相惜所感动~~~
一味追求新颖和深刻而忽略表达的任何艺术品都是不合格的，这一直是我的观点。首先电影本身拍的很棒，画面 影调 节奏 都非常好，剧情上来说，那段荒诞的历史一点不比战争好多少，姑且定义为女版的飞越疯人院吧
历史上女人倒霉的黑时代不少，疯人院算是比较仁慈的一个了，毕竟当时背景都快20世纪了，故事性价值比较低，再加之半记传半纪录的演绎方式，不好看
铺垫太长高潮太短，缺点蛮多的但是还是挺喜欢
为什么她没有自主决定命运的能力，因为她不能有
但片子过于冗长乏味。
太喜欢两个女主了呜呜呜呜呜呜呜有燃烧女子的肖像那感觉了！！
我一开始以为是一个因为女性思想开放而被迫害的故事，然鹅后面发现真是玄学…
如果科学与理性对唯心主义是粗暴反对，电影预设一个科学与理由的对立面同样很粗暴，非要逼一批根本不相信世界有鬼神的唯物主义者低头，并加上一些言之凿凿与亡灵对话的细节，这令人哭笑不得。这跟纯粹的鬼片不一样，本片是骑墙派，一方面认同科学的严肃性，仅仅是对科学的教条与规训加以嘲讽，另一方面又叫人相信世界上有鬼，只有很少人看得到鬼。鬼怪要么有，要么没有，不可能是薛定谔的鬼怪。也许电影更想表达的是“人们不应该过于武断”，以及医护群体与病人群体的权力不对等、男性与女性的权力不对等，或者批判精神病院的“私刑”、某种法律与道德的彻底沦丧，这些立意都很好。但大方向有偏差，电影没找准自己的定位，让人没办法静下心又将其当作一部人性彼此救赎的文艺片。剧本太糟糕，以为会是第二部《容基耶尔女士》，实则不及后者一半高明。
虽然技术方面还是没话说，可是内容也太普通了，完全无法共情，合集了很多没有记忆点的歌曲，60部纪念作也太差强人意了……比第50部的《魔发奇缘》还差了一个《寻梦环游记》。
电影画面唯美，稍显压抑。
可能类似题材的看过了，就感受不是很大，拍的太压抑，也不懂为啥老拍写赤裸的镜头，甚至有点反感，整部片从开始到结局也什么起伏，护士长没跟她走想不通，女主一直被打压最后还隐居了？类似题材的拉楔特就拍的节奏还有起伏就很好，虽然也是个爽剧，但观感比这部好太多了，就感觉是部很多年前拍的电影，结果定眼一看，2021年拍的。。。
谈话内容与对应主体不统一的多组莫名其妙的正反打，经不得琢磨且节奏拖沓，主题选取上像是无头苍蝇，大概只有光影上是拿的出手的。梅拉尼导演水平确实很一般，但因为她的态度，值得为其加上1分。（6）
那个年代真让人窒息，全片感觉很压抑。治疗疗法像过家家。
我不恨男权社会，或者男人，不值得去恨。但我越来越明白，工作中的挫折、35岁的瓶颈，跟我没有关系，只是跟我的性别天然捆绑在了一起。
这就是最近几年这个巨头，动画业务的现状，跟过去大制片厂时代批量生产的经典好莱坞电影没什么两样，偶有出彩，大部分却趋同，没有多少激情和创新，只有华丽的外表，像个芭比瓷娃娃。
出发点是好的，操作比较常规。而且出现了我反感的“一言不合开金手指”类情节。
分类上这是一部惊悚片？NONONO，它其实是一部现实主义作品，如果当成惊悚片来看，会相当失望。最后说一句，女主身材不错，有好几个全luo镜头 ^_^
不知道豆瓣评分怎么这么低，是因为都不是在电影院看的缘故吗，2022院线第一部外语片献给迪士尼，比去年看的《寻龙传说》好看13倍左右，披上魔法设定的外衣，实则依然在讲述一个家庭的故事。女主角不被家庭成员理解的孤独感，十分能感同身受，画面色彩鲜艳，鲜花特效非常好看，音乐歌声也很治愈，最后女主角与原生家庭达成和解，外祖母讲述外公的恋爱故事，依然是一个温暖人心的故事，一个大家很熟悉的故事，也是一个被遗忘的故事。感谢迪士尼重新把这个故事捡起来！写着舅舅名字的餐桌不会被遗忘！收获了一个治愈的故事和热泪盈眶！＃2022院线03，评分:8.0/10。
能够通灵的女主被送进精神病院，最终在护士长的帮助下成功逃离，涉及了不少流行的主题，女性的互相帮助，女性受到的精神压迫等，但笔力不是很到位，欠点火候。
