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'.

我就三个问题：1、卧底黑人兄弟究竟卧底为了个啥？2、明明找皮匠师傅仿制了half of a dozen个包，最后加上真包也只5个，还有2个去哪了？3、血盟为啥解开了，就让邓布利多说了句“我也不知道为什么”来回答，这不太讲究吧？
怎么就麒麟了，明明就是小鹿斑比嘛；从头到尾两个字就能概括的剧情——(老邓和老格)解绑，拍了快两个半小时；罗琳老师想打造一个魔法界二战背景世界观，这部也很明确了；蒂娜在飘着细雪的纽约夜晚，款款走来参加婚礼，挺美的瞬间，可惜戏份居然少到这份上；整体来看三部拍到现在，一直让人觉得觉得剧情散乱，抓不住重点，只因故意把简单的两人前世今生到终极对决的故事，活活抻长，圈钱之心过于明显，相信待本“电视剧”全部上映后一定有网友会剪出一个合适的精简版本咳咳；结尾处的对生活回归正轨的渴望，此时此刻就像是对身处封控的人们说的，唉难过
风险全部由女性承担，男人永远无法知道生孩子有多痛。女性彻底沦为商品，卖淫合法，金钱买到性；代孕合法，金钱买到子宫。甚至不想要就退货！
题材相当不错，表现的是代孕的问题。可惜导演将其拍成了肥皂剧，让影片缺乏深度。影片在角色的设置上，先设定购买的美方与出售的印方，然后又以民族属性划了条道德界限，并据此批驳美国夫妻的自私与印度人的无私与博爱。至于代孕的现实问题及道德困境，导演则无暇顾及，或者说没有能力进行深入探讨。好在故事热热闹闹，观影过程并不沉闷。
女人从婴儿期开始就被反复告知，她们来到这个世界上就是为了生儿育女。她们被灌输“母性的光辉”，母亲把孩子带到这个世界上的“非凡荣耀”可以压倒她所有的缺点。来自女性主义有什么用的灵魂拷问。
代孕是一件对女性伤害极大的事情，抛开电影本身的情节，代孕如果合法，会使得很多女性被迫成为代孕者。因为这是片贫瘠的土地，当女性沦为合法的生育工具，就意味着彻底沦为父权奴役的工具。女人能做的最好就是不生孩子，如果实在想要小孩，可以去领养或者去精子库找最棒的，前提是得有钱。（别讨论结婚，婚姻早就应该在几千年前被废除。）
美国夫妇用自己的特权买印度女孩的身体、健康…真的被赤裸裸的交易恶心到。🤢
有点太梦幻美好了，真实的代孕比这要残酷不公的多，多少天真的女孩像米米一样在对代孕一知半解的情况下把身体交出去，获得的报酬却完全与承担的风险不对等，但她们却没有米米身边支持她的人，那对美国夫妇算是典型的买方了，自私无情，只把孩子看成商品，目前代孕合法最大的问题是无法保证代孕母亲的权益，在这条产业链她们付出最多但地位最低，而这部电影完全没有触及代孕产业的深层，把一个现实题材拍的过于肤浅。
这才是高阶法师的战斗啊。但是神奇动物的存在感越来越低了。纽特这次感觉也不够酷。全程都是邓格两人的感情戏。看的是pre-first session，感觉整个卢森堡的人都出动了。
值得贡献一张imax，好久没有看完电影后影院里洋溢着这样的气氛了！！6.7分。你们缺德不缺德
虽然有些狗血，但探讨社会伦理，开眼界！印度教、穆斯林、白人温暖相外
比上一部强多了，Mads演格林沃德就不违和。
1.为什么女主（或许没有女主）加起来只出现3分钟？
代孕真的要禁止啊，这好歹也是一条生命，想要就要，不要就抛弃，感情自己没付出啥，就这么随意，钱也没到位，孩子以及代孕女孩这命运就改变了。最后结局为啥女主要把娃就在自己身边，还给美国人其实挺好，可以有自己的生活，想娃了也可以去美国看他，在美国娃还可以受到更好的教育。
大家互幫互助足夠溫暖

不是非要生小孩，才能做父母。不是非要有血缘关系，才能成为一家人。
有笑点，有泪点又有点扯
邓布利多的谜不配有字幕？就让它成为永远的谜吧
结局强行圆满
