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'.

没什么亮点，爆米花电影。特别是男男的戏份不太喜欢
拉拉和GAY的幸福形婚，得到了所有人的祝福，还有了孩子 这个目前只能在童话里出现的结局，在印度这样的国家能有这样呀HE的电影，4分献给有勇气和有愿景创作它的人们。很喜欢看男主和女主吵架，互相嫌弃又互相扶持的他们在家长里短和柴米油盐中不知不觉成为了亲密的家人。
看到惺惺相惜和最后的印度同志大游行…有一些破防了😢
反观禁言，印度在讲述这些故事又怎么不是一种好事呢😄
领养领养领养!通讯录不会改变人的价值观哈哈
还不错，最后的结局还挺感动的，男主和女主都勇敢的做了自己，特别是男主，终于敢承认了。
家庭永远是亚洲人过不去的一道坎。何以解忧？唯有骄傲。
这部电影很多地方会让潮汕人和接触过潮汕家庭的人会心一笑——在外拼搏的潮汕人一旦用方言对上号就是自己人，什么事都好说；非广东人统称为“外省”；老爷保号让我抱个男孙；潮汕传统妇女为家庭操劳一辈子，孝顺公婆伺候丈夫子女简直是刻在基因里的使命；时刻都在忙拜神，你不好说这是封建愚昧还是有信仰和虔诚。潮汕因为故步自封本地经济很差，但是在外的潮汕人够团结反而很容易成功，有说法潮汕人拜的神多所以台风天灾都绕着走，潮汕夫妻关系和睦全国离婚率最低…这些都不是刻板印象，这些依然是现状。这片说着外人轻易学不去方言的神奇土地，让无论是在那里还是离开了那里的人，都染上一种病，这病像男主对他妈的感情一样，既想抗争独立，却最终还是自觉回到她的身边，贴上属于她的标签。可能，圈子和身份认同真的让人欲罢不能。PS.妈妈演得真好。
在潮汕本土电影里看到台湾电影的影子，未来可期
总体来说还可以，至少后面赚了我的眼泪，不是在哭家庭的接受，而是佩服他们的勇敢
电影略略长，看了三次才看完。最后强调love is love和法律使同性恋领养合法化，特别是最后四个人坐在一起的画面很动人。男主坦白那场群像的构图太太太经典了，赞～多多关注非典型的性取向吧～第一次看关于形婚的电影，最后落脚点在于领养这个点，还是踩得蛮好的。
祝贺印度🇮🇳拍出了形婚题材的电影，就凭敢拍，敢上映，值得五星
男主是 遇见女孩的感觉 那位咩，完全没认出来
不错耶，中间还挺搞笑，不过印度电影为啥都要拍那么长…
封建乡土街坊面子最重要，不如过得好。
《带你去见我妈》：三月份看的第一部电影，个人观感还不错，不过略不及先前的期待。影片拍得蛮接地气，但部分过于戏剧化的情节台词于我还是有损真实生活感，故事情节的起承转合也存在好些不太满意之处，某些演员的表演也有待加强。1.壁虎是有益无害的动物，没必要像打蟑螂一样打它吧？2.潮汕方言和我们闽南语有些像，当地的风俗习惯亦是如此。“拜神 要拜五根香，要拜三拜，知道了吗？诚心一点，明年生个宝宝。”→妈妈说的方言意思其实是“…生个男孩。”，再加上后面龅牙婶的“老爷保佑，儿媳妇要生男孩子，来求张符给孙子带平安。老爷保佑。” 刚好体现了我们两地都有的拜神信仰以及重男轻女的现象（不过后面生的是孙女）；3.作为低成本方言电影，其拍摄场景、演员人数等超乎我预期的多，甚至还去了杭州西湖，让我都好奇成片具体花费了多少财力？……
影片讲述了很多潮汕地区的风土人情，在祭祀风俗上的方方面面，其实是有起到宣传当地文化习俗的作用，潮汕地区给我们的印象也不再是之前那么死板。在这个充满人情味的地方，里面的人也在不断地适应迅速发展的社会，不会固步自封。
现实的开场，梦幻的结局，欢笑中反映出心酸的现实，印度已经能把这个题材拍的这么深刻了。
7.3。我走进影院的流程是这样的——1.撸豆瓣即将上映影片：快来看啊，这有个百年难遇的脑子有泡才能搞出来的大傻子片名！2.咦？方言电影？潮汕故事？3.预告片好像还行，没有大傻子的感觉。4.插曲是玩具船长的歌儿？要不试一试？5.3公里距离影院有排片，票价还白菜，买！优点：角色表现非常自然，所有演员都没有尬演，演妈妈的演员特别好。家长里短，互动有趣，人物关系生动。没有用亲情要挟观众进行煽情。缺点：本子整体有点儿平，少点儿意思，题材方向如果对劲了就是潮汕的四个春天，但很遗憾不是。20220107光耀华纳国际影城
真相会打破平静，但说出真相才是最正确的选择。 （谢谢你呀小du，和你在一起真的很开心）
