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'.

刷微博时被台词“福气不需要那么大，只要每天有小小的福气就足够了”安利到
喜欢日和妹妹，全程看下来真的被暖到。（btw高潮部分实在太拉胯。。以为要放二十响，结果就冒了一缕烟orz
资本主义果然不是那么好混的。那个，您二位是真的警察吧？结局很欢乐。牡丹饼吃不了三个
本来天海就不显老，现场灯光一打，有时候觉得她才30+，这电影跟她的年龄一样充满虚幻感……
6.5🌟吧，本来以为是个日常番，没想到是奇幻番，开片的时候感觉有点像龙猫的画风，其实我更想看结是如何解开心结和三人的日常生活
这种题材就是欢快气氛圆满结局的格式，期待也是期待女王的登场，最后女王在share house里开心笑的时候我想的是现实中你是不喜欢别人和你一起生活的人，哈哈哈
剧情拉稀 设定还行妖魔就那么容易接受的么…还有最后boss也太容易了吧…
虽然很喜欢妖怪题材，但是这个稍微缺点东西。比如红祟的战胜太一笔带过了
后311奇幻治愈片。关于受创的心重新获得生之勇气。河童们跟日和好可爱。mana酱声演的结与老奶奶的对手戏仿佛在预演《萍水相腐檐廊下》。
有些真实又有些美化，用大量搞笑艺人还算轻松的展现了一个沉重的话题
我选动漫电影的品味不是很好，总是挑中这种情节很迷的片子
太平淡了 连温馨的感觉都没有 高潮有一分钟吗 写命题作文也要详略得当吧 差点无聊得我没看下去
除了结尾有点仓促，驱魔那段好短暂😂 我真的好喜欢这种妖怪故事
开头的设定和海岬的风景让我小小激动了一下，结果人物单薄，剧情乏味，基本看到三分之一就能猜到结局了。只剩下治愈了…
冲着天海佑希看的，期待高于实际观感。养老不能光靠个人，赡养老人也不能光靠长子，现实情况是，越是走投无路越无路可走，而非积极良好的心态可以逆风翻盘，所以储蓄真的很重要，虽然台词：做人还是任性一点好。哈哈哈哈，但是很多人真的是没有随意任性的资本。 另外，天海佑希饰演的夫妇，也太不像夫妇了 哈哈哈。或者说佩服日本家庭主妇的情绪管控能力...哈哈哈
虽然能明白创作者想把灾难具象化的思路，但前面这个叙事节奏和风格到了结尾整一场大战总觉得很奇怪 2.5
还不错挺好看的，好喜欢这部电影的画风，推荐观看
挺有趣的有些情节，最后天海佑希终于买到心仪的包包欢快的走在马路上我很喜欢这场景
需要拥抱时紧紧相拥的才是家人，自己选择的家人才是家人。
是没想到是个神话故事来的😹迷途之家在哪里？超想去！！！
