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'.

所表现的女性感受到的来自男性的压迫和对恐惧，不到真实社会里的百分之一，而男人们已经都破防了。“什么你居然敢挑起性别对立？”呵
前半段电影画面真的很美 随便截一张都可以当壁纸了 剧情就感觉有点莫名其妙 不知道导演想表达什么意思 背景音乐倒是挺渗人的 片尾的套娃真是恶心坏了
挺惊悚，最后那点挺恶心，男人的五种状态确实带来恐惧
女权文艺恐怖片。可惜目标观众不是三者的合集，得是交集。
太多暗喻，太多要表达的东西了，成品太乱、太夸张，故作高深，其实要讲的谁都明白，有装b的嫌疑
还有海报中这段“空谷回声”。
用一个恐怖寓言拍出了生活中遭遇的隐形暴力，和时刻都在发生的道德绑架、精神控制。他们包装成世俗、习惯和善意，多少人面对时都无法说出一句“滚开”。不只是性别，更是不对等关系中的弱者的困境；只是这样的关系中女性受害者很多。男导演有这样的观察很厉害。
这部电影为当下中国性别暴力事件中男人的困惑做了一个太好的解答，为什么作为个体的男人没有实施犯罪，却需要“承担”所谓的无法从all men中豁免的“代价”。和《隐形人》互为补充，一个说的是everywhere，一个说的是everyone。自体繁殖的意象很生猛。结尾那个怀孕女人是想说什么，一种割席对立还是同盟还是悲剧循环？
求个解释，除了看出女性主义外，其他都什么什么隐喻啊
相对新奇的观影体验，结局的生产的犀利程度让我从昏睡中缓了回来
像是Kaufman的劇情，再配Garland的美學，太拼貼了🤯
太割裂了，前半段还挺小情新挺有趣的，后半段又突然搞起了各种cult
开头是搞笑的，而且景色拍得很好，就是节奏很慢。有一块星空很美，但很假，就有点怪。
拍的太美了，滤镜用的太美了，男友自杀那段回忆用的黄色滤镜，乡村景色用的蓝色绿色滤镜，最后男人生男人用的红色滤镜。好棒～文艺邪典片，结尾男人不断繁殖，暴露狂生出弱智生出牧师生出房东生出男友。✍️✍️✍️
每个男人各有不同，但都共用一副皮囊，诞生于同样的扭曲中。历代级的cult场面，记忆深刻的隧道自我和声，结尾发现暴躁正直的闺蜜原来身怀六甲，细节好评
具有多译性的片子，不仅讲男人，女人，婚姻，宗教，生育，社会等不同面但唯独和恐怖不粘边。
前半部分以为是个恐怖片，后半部分我和女主都一脸冷漠：哦，渲染了半天竟然是要表演肛生子啊，行吧🙄
【3.5】A24出品的又一部恐怖片
具有多译性的片子，不仅讲男人，女人，婚姻，宗教，生育，社会等不同面但唯独和恐怖不粘边。
打低分的men都对号入座了？
