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'.

前半部分还是轻松幽默的喜剧，对开心麻花来说驾轻就熟。中期乃至后半段的热血沸腾与大义凛然则是此前我所看过的开心麻花电影甚少涉及到的区域，不过完成度令人眼前一亮。结尾想象中的重逢搭配上李玟的歌曲，更打动人心、催人泪下。
综合来看全方位都很优秀的电影，为腾叔打call！！！看笑了也差点看哭了！没有烂俗的梗，甚至有不少彩蛋，特效也是真的不错～咱就是说，刚子看久了还挺萌
问题其实非常多。但是他们这一套就像炸碎了的小行星，大大小小的碎片都充满威力，砸死我了。各种戳中。那些孤独那些傻气那些执着，那些可笑又令人流泪的爱。
3、沈腾的头盔质量简直好的离谱，别跟我说什么喜剧片不用讲逻辑这种蠢话；
笑点都比较低级
无话可说，我来看开心麻花是开心的，不是来看你这一地奚碎的剧情的，约等于照抄迈克尔贝的世界末日，想证明什么？想证明能拍出老美25年前的电影80%的完成度？不采用分级制度没问题，建议分好成人观看和儿童片的界限
出片名后的那几秒我以为沈腾与开心麻花准备转型了，然而是我想多了！
最后还缝了个迪迦是我妹想到的
这个暑假的快乐都是沈马给的，夏洛以后的“七年之痒”今天总算是给我挠了挠，只能说俩人依然默契十足啊，很惊喜的电影
挺好看的，完成度挺高。沈腾贡献了精彩演技。马丽让人惊喜
美国大片里的宇宙个人主义总会有主角光环加持 看久了就会忘记 中国的影片里多是主角的be😭
独孤月牺牲那段还是有点好哭
科幻？喜剧？爱情？都不咋滴，科幻没有科技新意，喜剧梗也比较差，沈腾的立意太低，都是为了一个一见钟情的爱情？？几十岁的人了，拜托。从头到尾尴尬的一塌糊涂，金刚鼠什么鬼，为了让剧不那么无聊。
特效配乐表演，所有配置都好过剧本本身。建议开心麻花看两期快乐再出发，学学怎么写笑点，老梗太多了真没有很爆笑
3.5星。看之前以为是开心麻花那种小品式喜剧，没想到竟然是真的科幻片，不论概念还是制作，都挺让人刮目相看的。但是前半小时沈腾和袋鼠的铺垫戏挺尬的，也很难笑。后半段渐入佳境，但结局我真的不接受（否则四星），为什么一定要牺牲一人拯救全球啊，这样的太空科幻爆米花怎么可以有这样的结局啊…编剧想个办法让他活着不好吗？
一般般，不过疫情之后很久没有看到影院大热了。看着满满当当的电影院还是很感慨
[B-]2022年最佳国产喜剧片预订，特效和笑点都合不含乎，看完竟然莫名有点感人，不过科学层面不能细想。
虽然麻花已经很努力想做正剧，但其一贯的保守价值观和科幻题材的自由进步格格不入，其一贯的中年颓丧气质与科幻的中二理想主义格格不入。在市民喜剧中尚可接受的搞笑手法在这里变成了极其刺眼的媚俗，身体力行诠释了“娱乐至死”，直播是本片最核心的动作，但无论从角色动机还是科学原理都丝毫不合理。类型嫁接并不容易，我现在理解了《疯狂的外星人》为何如此拧巴，就是宁浩一定要把科幻题材拉回地面，才能进行讽刺讥笑，否则如本片只能靠自恋的直播卖萌、正能量自嗨，恰好麻花的固有受众可能挺习惯这一套表达方式的。没有危机和神秘的科幻片、没有痛感的悲剧、没有讽刺的喜剧片，本片在三个方向上全面崩塌，看得我如坐针毡。最后沈腾复制吴京流浪地球的壮举毫无必要，既不可信又没创意，归根到底是麻花擅长的让小人物一举成名并赢得校花心的黄粱美梦。
如果要是口碑在的话，绝对能破几十亿，甚至成为今年票房新冠，但如果口碑崩塌，恐怕就难喽。
