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'.

格调很高，风格化极强的黑色喜剧。法国人搞起「恶趣味」，真的可以令世界各国人民都自惭形秽。想必导演一定不是「素食主义者」，因为在他精心的塑造下，这些人极尽贪婪、自私、极端、暴戾、可恶至极。可导演也不像是个「肉食者」，因为他们残忍、歹毒、冷漠、卑鄙、心狠手辣，以至于看过电影后我几乎已经无法去面对生肉。最后再说一句，不管某群体爱听不爱听，电影中塑造的「极端素食主义」与当下风行的某些「极端女性主义」，共同点颇多，你细品。
想看原著。向男演员奥利弗•马苏奇致敬，惊叹他的表演！
残忍变态的肉铺夫妇，尤其是老板娘。。感觉三观不正，剧情纯粹是猎奇了。
故事好乱，另外这种精神折磨的电影折磨的是我🚬
我愿称之为年度zz最不正确电影 日常被褥的发国人乳起人来也是相当狠啊
作为一个经常被极端素食主义者烦到的人，看完直呼过瘾！情节非常紧凑，没有废话；虽然性别意识稍显落后、个别人物设定cliché，但都个性鲜明，刻画得很利落。算得上一部非常成功的荒诞小品。如果用两个字总结这部片子给我的印象，那就是“痛快”。
3+，屠夫狩猎素食者，冲突加剧，双方都走向极端，忘乎所以。
剧情／犯罪，75分中等水平作品，18岁以下未成年人禁止观看（分级警告）！
6.5。包的是中年危机拯救事业爱情的馅儿。
6.8分。
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~
救命我真的看饿了，拍得好香好好吃啊！本肉食爱好者想立刻去大炫烤猪五花！肉店夫妻档联手猎食素食者，全程搞笑，看的黄秋生版本狠狠地get了，感谢有趣的字幕组- ̗̀(๑ᵔ⌔ᵔ๑)
比较而言，还是更喜欢茨威格原著的叙事结构。
今年看过的比较有意思的新片，虽然结构剧情风格都不算特别有创意。秋生梗很好笑，广东人吃狗梗不知道是字幕组调皮，还是导演有意为之，但是不要吃狗！狗是人类的朋友！
好好看哦，一路嘲讽政治正确，台词幽默细节到位！真好！
结尾是个什么鬼？如果被抓的是另外那对肉店夫妇就是神作了。3.5

鸭梨觉得很搞笑，我感觉没有人肉叉烧包过瘾啊
荒诞加魔幻现实风格且带有点血腥的讽刺喜剧片，拍出这样的作品该说不愧是法国人吗哈哈。
很多事，做了第一次，就会有第二次，而底线和心里的道德是会不断降低的。
