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'.

★★☆ 上一次看Judd Apatow作品，已經要追溯到15年的《生活殘骸》了，有創意，有段子，沒故事，沒節奏，這一次的優缺點如出一轍，而且還更差，主線更弱，群戲也不行，荒誕一不小心成了荒謬。当阿帕圖黨只剩下Judd Apatow，曾經《太壞了》《菠蘿特快》《伴娘》帶給我的樂趣，一去不復返了，我想念Seth Rogen、Paul Rudd、Jonah Hill、Michael Cera們湊在一起的日子。

电影又不是疫苗大家真的不重要大家不要拍续集烂片了……他们好傻啊，他们竟然还想拍好电影！
疫情下的电影剧组，贴合当下背景，属于这个时代的娱乐电影
Reflective of the present condition in shanghai, but a terrible comeback for Apatow. Seized by a riveting start, yet got bored half way through. Staying till the end felt like journey on a rocky path.
表现弱：反正一旦碰到BGM奏响、环境的素材质感变化，就知道是骨头社又要用他那套花里胡哨的胡乱运镜了（反正我从来就没喜欢过这套做法，因为角色空间关系的表述很差），打斗也压根没掺杂任何有价值的信息。从《一拳超人》、《灵能百分百》，到《我的英雄学院》，诸制作中索表现出如此强的路径依赖，不禁让我怀疑BONES的制作能力是不是已经到瓶颈了。
220405 【B】顺应当下流行元素延伸而得来的玩梗电影。凌乱如现实且同样被一套框架所控制，完成连贯的接梗和过渡，荒诞不经但绝不是陌生的。
很久没看到这么烂的烂片了, 浪费了两小时的生命
作为屎尿屁片大粉&同行业从业者&正在经历疫情的人想说这简直是浪费我宝贵的俩小时 即不讲逻辑还不好笑还烂梗
每一秒都想笑，但是你每一秒都笑不出来，究极便秘，但是究极好看。
可怕… 剧情单薄的可怕… 这小储藏室就能把个大活人困住，面对极度危险人物又是熟悉的绝不补刀… 出门拿食物不懂为啥把娃娃们带下楼… 这储藏室一点工具没有，还是老美的家么？！各种莫名，最后十几分钟算是略微舒坦了一丢丢。两个娃确实可爱，尤其是女儿，奶声奶气的。
没什么意思，现在只要看到亲王就不由自主好奇他会怎么死。

7分。还蛮有意思的，一部吐槽拍电影的电影，各种恶搞加上疫情，颇有那种《办公室》的味道在。一群看似大牌其实过气的演员混在一起，结果是依然过气，哈哈~~最喜欢就是那些绿幕的内容，装恐龙的两位好可怜~~~~
shit and fxxk u netflix~~~!!
三星半，前半段女主智商还在线，远程遥控女儿沉着冷静，特别是让女儿找工具时一度让女主崩溃，这是唯一有幽默元素的情节，后半段女主出来后就略显脑残了，既然不放心两个小孩在家里而一起去淋雨拿东西，为什么不先对坏人补刀确保安全，起码也要绑结实了，如果这里情节处理好了，四星是有的。
“确定将该文件放入废纸篓吗？”“确定！！！”
整体和不要抬头既是一类片子也是差不多的完成度，部分笑点和脑洞还可以，但整体偏温吞无趣，而且作为喜剧节奏有问题，篇幅过长了，看到后期甚至能与片中角色的漫长感产生共情
啊，秉承着看都看了，坚持着看完了，三个大人两个小孩，一部电影，哈。这种远离都市的森林里的房子很没有安全感啊。
乱七八糟 但我有时候需要乱七八糟 特别是明星大乱炖
