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'.

说低幼的也是服了，本来绘本就是给小孩看的啊！
美食，家庭，中国人民的坚韧、友爱太治愈我了。记得带纸巾。
题材也不错。
还有，这真的是一部很能带动人情绪的电影，有笑点，也有泪点。
有狗血又好笑聚会那场太尴尬了要是我怎么处理呀想想要是双方一方出轨的话头大电影还是太理想了之前不是一对女les因为孩子打官司了没
比较幽默的叙事，但有些部分感觉有点多余想快进….
小兔子的思考是生生不息的情感羁绊，萤火虫是最美的一部，小火车的创意不错，糖水铺从平凡中见真情，在宁务工人员子弟逆境中野蛮生长，兄弟俩的世界天马行空。都挺好，但最触动我的还是外婆的蓝色铁皮柜。
照亮童年，为爱发光！七个导演七部短片，都十分令我动容。《蒯老伯的糖水铺》里面细节满满，声音设计上十分惊喜，听着很是亲切。《小火车》咋一看人物设计上有些许不“好看”，但越是进入到故事里头，越是觉得美术上好呀。与好友在这篇故事里相视一哭，啊哈哈。《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》也是本电影里面最让人思考良多的篇章，像散文，真的很美。感谢中国动画人的付出！
关于出轨的态度，让人想起才获奥斯卡奖的日本电影《驾驶我的车》。
爱情经过生活和时间变成了亲情，然后呢？很有意思
家庭抓马大乱炖果然是意大利的天赋技能啊。透过年轻儿子的视角，讲述一个同志家庭的分崩离析、痛并快乐着的成长历程。每一个鲜活生命的诞生，都有无数人发生干丝万缕的交集，世界上没有完美的婚姻，但可以有宝美的离婚。
画风真的很棒，绘本式的水墨画风格的动画形象，以电影的方式呈现出来，真的别有一番独特，感觉很温暖治愈。但本片把所有的精力都投入到画风上了，导致这几个故事并不出彩，毫无关联不说，故事吸引力不够，有些小故事甚至就是小学生写流水账作文。这几个故事都没有很出彩的印象深刻的，都比较一般。要是能把故事本身再好好打磨一下就可以算是一部佳作了，可惜了。
制作形式还不错。
想起小学卖糯米饭的早餐店，同时经营佛雕生意，晕着浓厚的木屑香气。现在吃糯米饭总觉得少点童年的木屑味。只能用画笔重描绘这些不可再复现的特定记忆。
嘤嘤嘤，我不相信爱情了。你竟然出轨呜呜呜，二十年啊，什么东西！！！呜呜呜
#后窗观影#
各种抓马大乱炖：我有两个父亲，我女朋友的哥哥喜欢我，我朋友嗑药，我的孕母和她前夫生下了我……救命🆘
第一个小兔最差，不知道放前面是为什么。有两三个还不错的。哼哈最好。
这部电影是讲述着同性的，两人之间摩擦出的火花，带点欢乐在里面是蛮有意思的，其他的我也不多说了
