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'.

应该叫《只想去死》。话痨，拖拖拉拉，110分钟足矣。三个编剧就搞这么个玩意儿出来？
所有笑点都在老太太那里了，以至于最后男主写得那个悼词居然还有点小感动。女明星停车员的剧情就没什么好说的了，但作为在现实美国社会中底层的拉丁裔，生活境况不言自明，可即使生活艰难依然用力率性而活，作为一部搞笑片能找到这种视角加一星
实在无聊，片荒的可以看一下，挺轻松的，但是不搞笑
某种意义上 007就是英国的象征。不知道接下来会是谁接任007这个角色。准备了3周的女特工更像邦女郎
更怀念老一辈的007们，交棒时不用被无脑写死。
BTW：那段老母亲丧礼的REAL TALK很值得反复去看，悼词很美。
这个剧本真是太庸俗了，制造绝情散的反派棒打鸳鸯感觉是武侠片里的剧情。美女都是走马灯工具人，古巴大美女打完就消失了？风景也乏善可陈，挪威那么美拍出来就这? 唯一的亮点是终于给Q摆正了取向，茶具加蒸笼深得我心。
05.17 AMC 点映. 第一次在国外看喜剧电影好好笑哦！国内什么时候可以有这种笑点流畅丝滑的喜剧哇qvq
会有一点点无聊，但大部分剧情充满温馨欢乐和幸福伤感
论一个国际IP的自我陶醉，福永和维伦纽瓦，同一个问题，虽然它非常努力地去挤出尽可能全部的能量，但最终只是由角色的嘴在互相分析罢了。
比原作更有意思，演员演技真的太棒了，很舒服的电影
这版翻拍很好看啊。。哈哈哈。。女主很瘦啊。。原来我看过她几部电影了。。可塑性很强，适合模特。。哈哈哈。。最近看bili选模特上瘾。。哈哈哈。。
不真实，但温暖、治愈，剧情轻松，演绎欢乐，看着舒服，喜欢

”she does have your eyes.““I know.”再见詹姆斯邦德，再见丹尼尔克雷格
喜欢女主，但可能之前演了太多惊悚血浆片，在这部温情喜剧里显得微表情过多且夸张
7.5/10分
我管这种片子叫飞机电影和陈思诚看了买版权电影，男主属于墨西哥的黄政民，演技上的信念感特别强，调和了爽片剧情和女主角小妞电影演技，特别是几场多方人物身份冲突的群戏也处理得特别和谐，韩国爷爷的戏份是一个妙笔，让观众视角提高到了拉美文化中的多文化融合。
虽然设定有点假，毕竟那么美的女演员莫名和泊车老男人谈恋爱也太夸张，不过不影响这部电影轻松有趣又感人！最喜欢莫过于男主母亲，和韩国老头谈恋爱太可爱太美好了吧~男主在母亲葬礼上的致辞有点泪目！最后两个女人一起玩弄渣男的结局爽翻！
还不错！最后没有在一起很reasonable
