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'.

挺好的，边看电影边看奥运单板大跳台，错过啥剧情对白都不耽误
所以孤独的人是可耻的，是咎由自取，一切的根源是自私、自我，是一种恶行……
真的看不下去，感觉剧本都没打磨好，演员也感觉不在状态，都在尬演。
女主是photographer 男主等于说全能了
J.lo只是想展示自己的唱跳本事吧？能当个美美的女明星，谁会想和老男人谈恋爱啊？2022年了怎么还有这么老套的故事啊？一整个大无语。
也许幻想真的能弥补现实中的遗憾
虽然都能猜到整部电影说的什么，但JLo确实好看，他们俩也有丢丢配，作为情人节的电影，也很适合哈哈哈哈
片名又叫做《平行爱情》。有点元电影的感觉。女主角是一名文青，爱好摄影和电影评论。多灾多难的设定借鉴了韩剧？青春偶像悲喜剧。还加入了励志成分。女主角心脏受伤，产生幻觉，幻觉中的死去男友其实是她另外一个分身。本人现实且悲观，幻象乐观又温情。
真的很差，很俗套很没有新意的电影。但是我真的很喜欢狗血的先婚后的情节。
扣三星是因为男主颜值，其他的不多说了，爆米花YY电影。
hustlers 一雪几十年来的口碑后……jlo又走回了老本行【虽然是ok的romcom 并且真的非常量身定做 但是能不能换男主啊啊啊啊啊啊
是部及格的爱情喜剧片。欧文威尔逊现实生活中不认女儿却总在电影丽演好爸爸，好违和。
"You know what?I'm not gonna judge whatever journey you're on.It's not what I'm looking for,and I hope you never do it to anybody else ever again."跟结婚骗感情的男友分手吵的让人忍不住笑起来，亲身经历过去这十年的氛围变化后，往日多么可怕的trauma如今真的能如此轻松的放下，并不轻佻，diversity配得上Netflix的圣诞节了。很欢乐，也蛮感同身受，出柜了并不会就完全轻松了，我现在每次跟师父、前辈吃饭，都要先一脸期待的问我有没有遇到人，要加油，跟异性恋被催婚一模一样的。加一颗星给台词，不是漫威那种乱插科打诨的胡闹，就很干净的活泼。
网上流行的爽文套路，明星的加盟，加上精良的制作，适度地玩梗，完全可以成为一部合格的商业大片。我们真应该好好学学。
平平淡淡的玛丽苏狗血故事，老套路的平行爱情，亦或者是低配版的与你共乘海浪之上
媒体很新，剧情还不错，男主的鼻子应该是受过伤吧，看着有点变扭。音乐现场～
如果尬到不行的异性恋deserves a cliche Christmas romcom, why not LGBTQ???
some guilty pleasure…
其实是一部合格的爆米花爱情电影，同样类似的桥段别人都已经可以完全合理男女角色调换了，可能我们的国产爱情片还是仍然霸道总裁爱上我吧
故事确实有点俗套，但是我们看一部电影 是需要去以多方面的角度去分析 去观察 ，剧情虽然俗套但是不狗血，影片中有着美国娱乐圈包括社交APP “INSTAGRAM ”的文化输出，包括影片当中的歌曲都很好听，让我想到凯拉奈特利演的《再次出发之纽约遇见你》
