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'.

有点让我出乎意料的惊喜，觉得还不错，可以二刷下
还行，挺好看的。个人比较喜欢这种猎奇类型。不过在屏幕外看，两人组太弱了。bug太多，懒得数了。
“这不是男人，这是伊朗猪。”
题材很暗黑，但拍的很sunshine，这很法国。没什么出挑的优点，黑色幽默什么的也谈不到，不过没大毛病，随便看看就还行吧。
素食杠精挑事端，店主刷新美食圈。师从香港黄秋生，自产自销卖得欢。
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈 神户素食者 好久没这么开了 荒诞不羁 三月阴霾尽扫 我就说么 法国喜剧 才是我的本命喜剧 不仅有离奇的眼神 蒙太奇搭配小动作 没头脑与不高兴的阶级对立 作者借着蔬菜圣母们的嘴脸 吐槽值直接拉满 对不起了 即使是那么可怜的小熊的一生 我依然笑出了声儿
其实感觉挺无聊的，但动物世界那段是真的狗哈哈
所有船上场景都是主人公精分出来的，影片一开始的鹿特丹港是他和妻子约好一起逃亡纽约的出发点，只是他因为精分被送进精神病院，再也没有机会登船。影片主线和茨威格反思战争的所有作品一样，一开始拒绝接收现实，沉溺于旧世界的美好，最后被现实毒打，不是精分就是自杀，象棋不过是主人公精神追求的寄托。
哪家的字幕组呀，可太皮了，看到“黄秋生”真的要笑死，给电影添多几分幽默风趣。法国恐怖片的极端一直都是可以的，面对极端素食者，当然是要用魔法去打败魔法。中间用动物世界的镜头类比现实狩猎“伊朗猪”的剪辑也是有趣得不行，比起美食纪录片《新鲜》好多了。没有装高雅的“吃人”题材，偶尔粗暴点不正经也蛮有意思的，可惜烂尾了，最后的伏法拍得像是咱大陆电影为了过审一样。不过整体也算是近期恐怖片最近。
看了10分钟了，牛啤，这也太重口了。真心扛不住。这是一个素食主义者拍的片子吧，疯狂讽刺肉食。
结尾完事也太快了吧
其实比较一般的片子，明明题材很劲爆，但拍出来却平平淡淡，既不恐怖，也不惊悚，也不知道是哪里出了问题，可能是导演想用喜剧的壳来装恐怖的魂，结果弄了个四不像，男主的样子太菜，没有一狠到底或是满满变狠，和黄秋生的表演不是一个级别的。
哈哈哈哈哈哈导演是有多想吐槽素食主义者啊，去他的zzzq，有点恶心又有点好笑。
怪异的片子。男主长得很可爱。黄秋生的梗挺逗。
哈哈哈，挺有意思的，给极端的素食主义者、动物保护主义者一记响亮的耳光~
虽然剧情上有所改动，但很好地继承了小说的内核。人在黑暗的时代必须构筑各种各样精神的庇护所，把小小的自己缩进去。然而如果可能的话，谁不想在奥地利跳舞呢？
很多cult片的侧重点全在暴力血腥上，故事完全没了逻辑可言，十部有九部我看完只会觉得被耍了，然而还不好发作，因为是cult片，cult仿佛成了一切合理不合理的挡箭牌。但这片子的血腥情节是就着故事发展很自然而然出现的，至少对观众的脑子态度放尊重了不少，我难得的能像看剧情片一样看一部血腥电影，并且还能随着对白发出爆笑，我还要什么自行车啊！
傻逼字幕组是不是还觉得自己很幽默？让你翻译不是让你胡编
想尝一口伊朗猪肉，两口子猎人对比动物觅食捕杀那段很棒。
好疲软，感觉像Netflix编剧开会随便头脑风暴了几个词搞出来的剧本，为啥这都能上7分……
