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'.

巴齐尔可太可爱了
同时结尾也没有用漫画原结尾
以为会像魔嫁一样好看，但其实很一般，剧情很拖沓……但画风确实好看，像童话一样
疫情鸡汤片，家庭内部、邻里矛盾在特殊时期下暴露、重组并最终消解，人人有缺陷，但又没有严格意义上的反派（包括代表红脖人的比利时户主）。那首被吐槽的“疫情不是我朋友”的歌似乎就是Boon所创作；另外本片应该也是Boon跟Arné好上后第一次合作，当了夫妻再演夫妻感觉想必不同以往
法式黑色幽默，生活中琐碎的点点滴滴～各种情感交织暖到心窝
对丹尼伯恩要求高一点，只能打3星，说回来女主真是长在我所有的审美上。
哈哈哈哈哈太扯了，法国人拍的离谱喜剧看得也津津有味。面具安装除雾刷子不错👌，狂喷酒精很真实。法国人的浪漫点子就是世界第一多，有被墙上手影子舞感动到，谈恋爱从小开始。结尾大喜马上转接大悲真的忍不住眼泪。
除了那些苦大仇深、煽情歌颂的片子，我们也需要这种轻松愉快温馨的电影，来记录Covid-19.
疫情下不同阶层，不同职业的一群人隔离住在一栋楼里，紧张敏感的马丁太搞笑了，没有口罩就用潜泳面罩代替，邻里间由猜疑到彼此信任，小男孩与小女孩夜晚的手影互动太浪漫了，临结尾不忘纪念一下因为疫情逝去的生命。
疫情之下居家隔离的一群法国人众生相，挺搞笑，最后温馨。都是病毒惹的祸。
又乱又闹…过度防疫的，不做防疫的，当它不存在的…隔离期间的种种乱象，确实挺像那么回事
画风很好看很治愈，但是小孩能下水那么久不被淹死也是牛逼
前半段略松散，后半段渐入佳境，虽然不喜欢一些段落的叙事方式，但就技法来说法国人拍电影真的称得上是登峰造极
3星半吧 作为电影来看比较散 有点是对那个刚刚开始隔离的时期普通人的恐慌 生活的细节还原的很好 那个女医生的伏笔埋得很好 最后的结尾也有让我大哭 感谢所有医护人员的付出 也像影片最后写的一样 感谢全人类的团结 最难的日子似乎已经过去 但是这个疫情 却仿佛再也不会过去 我们的生活还是继续 学习跟这个病毒共处
我对这种宅家里的生活挺满意。
好无聊硬着头皮看完 现在正在隔离的我毫无共鸣 照他们这样隔离一栋楼但凡有一个人确诊整栋感染
À l'humanité solidaire. 薛定谔的封城焦虑中看一眼巴黎中产们的疫情生活，对病毒的恐惧总是会与其它情感、欲望或责任争夺对于自身身体的控制，每个人都在这一过程中被消耗，幸运的是在个人能量/情感被耗尽前产生与他人的连结，在独自面对丧失时感受到群体的关怀。
很喜欢这部影片，透过一栋楼的邻居和他们身上的故事，展现了疫情期间的悲欢离合。每一个人物都很有特点也很讨喜，情节也有转折起伏，涵盖了很多丰富的主题：隔离带给人的洁癖不止在生理，也有心理；疫情可以让人阴阳分隔，不能阻断人情和与自然的联结；病毒让人类自以为傲的阶层观念和贫富差距变得可笑，一转眼也变成实验小白鼠。病毒与爱并行成为世间最通用的催化剂。
很喜剧的温情片
那些在平常生活里已经逐渐被我们丢弃了的点点滴滴，人类社会就像是一个全速运转的机器，偶尔停下来歇一歇也没什么不好。
