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'.

我只能说如果没有这个电影，开心麻花出品已经在我心里信誉破产。从《姑妈》到《李茂》我已经深深的血凉了！这片子0含腾量，依然爆笑。其实在欢乐喜剧人我就发现魏翔很有潜力了，可惜麻花一直在冯才仑身上浪费子弹。艾伦也好，冯才仑还有常远就是配角的命，不需要不甘。6.6确实过分了。7.5是我给的分数！
上帝创造世界，需要七天；欧洲改头换面，也需要七天。平衡之道，在于吔屎。
七分吧，当中有致敬《雨中曲》和《荒野大镖客》，一般关于电影的电影，都会让我提升好感。大过年的春节档就是需要这种喜剧片，不搞低俗笑话和屎尿屁。虽然是翻拍，手法也是利用“信息不对等”造成笑料，但是可以认为是国内翻拍电影的优秀本土化范例。魏翔首次担当男一号，整体表现很不错，证明开心麻花离开沈腾，照样可以支楞起来。
资本主义世界的“好老板”，打着人本主义、公平正义和政治正确，但最终还是逐利至上，情节真的有够黑色幽默的
讽刺的恰到好处，有时天平需要施点伎俩才能平衡。
网络推荐处处是笑点是认真的吗，本着不想看煽情选择先看这部网上推荐说是黑马的………魏翔确实演得很拼但确实尴尬得笑不出来…看完竟然很生气，心疼浪费了时间又心疼这春节档贵了一倍的电影票，拿这个钱再看一遍奇迹多好………
牛！简直完美好吗！黑色幽默拿捏的太精准了，关键细节拿捏也很好，再多一点调度成为悬疑片都有可能。最爱的part是天平厂的设计，还有天平一侧那颗子弹；最后那个小长镜头，听得见钟表声的，氛围感也绝了，极度舒适
挺讽刺的～每个人都通过手段达到了自己的目的，当然，除了最底层的工人～
边看边想这跟魔幻时刻也太像了吧，果然在片尾看到是改编，但看完我只想再看一遍原片。那种扮演好儿子的煽情戏码真的太多余了。
为什么最后还是会得奖啊？？？主角选的是真好，极致虚伪，下半身思考的老白男，看着就让人犯恶心。
片中有一些为适应审核而做的本土化处理，如哈维中枪未死，结尾机械降神等。此外，米兰良心发现，给魏成功塞信的情节略有突兀，倘若放在米兰和他们喝过酒后，再安排这段，反而会顺畅些。
笑死了，演得太好了。骨子里市侩精明虚伪，表面上良善大度豁达，渣啊。子弹梗简直就是《资本论》的镜头解读。
在电影院还是笑了～太多梗了，教父/雨中曲/甚至还有荒野大镖客。😂几个情节的错位感挺喜剧效果的。但是故事嘛，就不需要考虑太多逻辑了。
如果把这个老板放在我们身边来对比，他简直是个天使。
接下来就看市场的选择了。
故事完整却也相当刻意，通过各种小事件来构造故事，第一眼给我的感觉甚至有点杰出公民内味，只能说那出平行蒙太奇很加分
好像修改版的喜剧之王2.0，却又不及喜剧之王的万分之一，看个热闹，典型的爆米花电影。
提前支走保安
空洞乏味 如坐针毡 15分钟离场 回家重温去看《魔幻时刻》去了 P.S.这几个人真会演戏吗？
3.5星 这部电影有种双重讽刺的黑色效果。这个老板虚伪贪婪，装作好老板的样子却一直在做腌臜事。 然而，然而，这样的老板如果放在国内，还真的是个好老板，非常好的那种。太讽刺了。 另，由于没有交代为什么开除那个工人，我也分不出是非，只是有一点让我讨厌：当那个工人拒绝一切解决方案只想闹事到底的时候，我无比希望他肉体消失。除了作为中国人骨子里的守序（或者说调和折中），我不懂这么闹下去有什么好处？是能掀起革命还是能获得实利？有老婆有孩子有人生，这种情况下（我看来是正常解雇，或者恶意违法解雇也不影响结论）为什么不去解决这个问题而只是在耍性子？
