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'.

70/100 讽刺喜剧，资本家的自私、伪善与无情。其实看下来这个老板更像是闲人布大哥，员工的各种琐事竟然都愿意听而且都能插一脚摆平，倒是这些员工感觉真的头脑都不太聪明的样子。
66/100
Javier Barton饰演了一个伪善且有野心勃勃的老板，但或许是因为太多情节展现了他的困境，所以很长一段时间我们看到的是一个心力交瘁、高情商有耐心的老板，或许是因为现实生活的暴击更为猛烈，真心以为如此一个花那么时间管员工破事，对一个不满辞退员工束手无策、睡了实习生、以及看重能力把嫡系辞退的老板，真的是……好老板
本片对于老板还有众员工的塑造也是极其精准。
节奏和剧情上被狠狠拿捏了
职场斗争淋漓尽致，很好很贴近现实，真正平衡的天平下面有一颗可以夺人性命的子弹！
确实能让人笑很大声的合格喜剧，好在绝大部分笑点来自戏剧结构以及演员表演而非段子的拼凑，遗憾笑完也就完了。基本照搬了三谷幸喜原作「魔幻时刻」的第二幕，也因此保留了最爆笑的桥段，大刀阔斧改编了人物关系，加强了反派与矛盾冲突使影片更商业。最妙的是魏翔个人的境遇和银幕里的魏成功无缝打通，看着片尾魏翔痛哭流涕的杀青感言很难不被打动，他对这个角色也真的是毫无保留了。
这只是大千世界中的一隅之地，表面光鲜，背地里不知道有多肮脏。这或许是组成这个社会的常态吧。
你能想到的老板的每一个好，背后可能都存在着另一个算盘，好好做韭菜就行
黑色的讽刺，无论是善良的天真的还是丑恶的伪善的全都讽刺了一番，永远将一家人这样的词汇挂在嘴上的老板，实际上却为了企业得奖从而拿到补助无所不用其极，对员工压榨到丝毫不剩，最终还是一副受害者的姿态。可怕的是看了好久我居然还是觉得这个老板没有什么的。
如此垃圾的电影，没一点逻辑，纯粹是为搞笑而搞笑，问题是好笑吗？
情节流畅且自洽的喜剧，在开心麻花的水准线以上，但可以猜到情节发展和煽情套路，所以给不了太高分
和突如其来的煽情戏
《你逃我也逃》的闹剧路子，但对主角而言基本变成了出悲剧。丞相非在梦中君乃在梦中耳的设定原本有机会比《你逃我也逃》深刻，可惜剧本太糙，逻辑没理顺，偏又还要强行煽情。
你的老板我的老板好像都一样，喜欢当爹喜欢睡人喜欢锃光瓦亮的虚荣。
并不是有运动镜头/场面调度的就是电影
本身我就觉得西班牙保守一面和咱们有共通之处，长着王道“族长”长相的哈维尔巴登一出马把这个patron演绎得淋漓尽致（不是指表演层面），看完就大概理解了咱地界儿的大老爷平常做事的逻辑了。而且能压垮他们的那根稻草永远就是反抗+蔑视他们的权威。最到位的莫过于发现小实习生是老友的女儿，瞬间就开始害怕她，真的是只属于那一拨人的虚伪。
救命啊现在年轻电影人是不是以为自己随便看了几部所谓“经典”电影、所谓黑白好莱坞电影就真的敢去拍电影啊。稍微喜欢点电影都不会喜欢这种完全和“电影”扯不上半毛关系的片子吧？
7.5。哈维尔·巴登还挺适合白发的。天平厂的老板把员工看做家人，他希望成为一个好老板。但被裁员的员工一直在厂外抗议，得力下属因为家庭原因工作上屡屡犯错，新来的实习生漂亮可爱，睡过之后才知道是自己老朋友的女儿，好老板不得不小心翼翼地处理每一件事，因为这几天正是企业评优的关键时刻。如同厂里那个天平一样，你得悄悄在其中一边藏一颗子弹才能让天平平衡。好老板耐心不再，开始展现伪善面具下的子弹。只是他被老友女儿拿捏似乎不太说得通，其实是有很多方法逼走她的。最后老头拿着电钻在老板身后那段，哈维尔表情非常传神，演技相当精湛。
70/100 讽刺喜剧，资本家的自私、伪善与无情。其实看下来这个老板更像是闲人布大哥，员工的各种琐事竟然都愿意听而且都能插一脚摆平，倒是这些员工感觉真的头脑都不太聪明的样子。
