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'.

虽然里面的素食主义者很恶心，拍摄的手法也比较喜剧明亮的样式但看着还是能感觉到那种变态。
真的很好笑，好久没看到这种冒犯性这么强的喜剧片了，生动活泼
一部有着恶趣味甚至含有批判态度的法国电影，吃人肉只不过是导演表明态度的途径，看完之后最能感受到的其实是导演对素食主义者的痛恶。三星。
所以人人都在经历苦难，能活下来的绝对不是一般人。
很好看，跟动物世界联动太有趣了，而且最后温妮点题，既说明他们被捕是因为温妮的心脏起搏器，还说明他们一直对温妮心存愧疚
前半小时很生动很法兰西，后半程高度类型化后有点泄气
素食 环保 都陆续跌下神坛，下一个会是谁呢？
人们天真地以为，只要维也纳还在跳舞，世界就不会毁灭。他们不知道，原来要将一个人摧毁，可以这般轻而易举，兵不血刃。而人类用了多少年，耗费多少智慧和精力，才建立起来的文明高塔，也同样如此脆弱，不堪一击…
够讽刺.素食者挺惨的.那么快就能做成火腿了么？也有点扯.
不过抱着娱乐的心态去看，蛮爽的。
这部影片可以说是一部一气呵成的黑色幽默，将肉食主义和素食主义讽刺的淋漓尽致，不仅具有法国浪漫，还有黑色幽默的荒诞，同时也不乏血浆残肢的猎奇，影片当中前后照应的细节很不错。我最喜欢的影片一开始，男主初次作案的时候，男主在分尸时导演运用了近距离拍摄，拉近了与观者的距离，使观者置身于剧情中，《皇帝圆舞曲》配乐也恰到好处。另外，影片还穿插了动物掠杀的画面，与男主屠杀素食主义者的镜头相互穿插进行，借此来比喻素食主义者已经成为了肉食主义者的猎物。影片的结束，既血腥又暴力的画面达到了视觉冲击效果，容易引起观者强烈的生理不适感。总的来说，是一部相当轻松的影片，用最轻松的语气讲述最残忍的故事，同时《肉罢不能》这部影片还致敬了《人肉叉烧包》，是一部极具风格化的黑色幽默喜剧片，还算不上恐怖。
抛开主要情节和部分暴力血腥镜头，就是个带点无厘头的喜剧，笑点不少。当然，为了减轻主人公犯罪特征和弱化犯罪动机，刻意渲染了片中极端素食主义者的不良行为。其实素食的目的本是因为爱心不忍杀害动物，但是纯粹只吃素食、生活和行为却很不友善的表现就成了本末倒置了。呵呵。最喜欢的一段还是男主第一次作案时背景响起《皇帝圆舞曲》，把这首曲子和这么个场景放在一起，真是有不一样的感觉。
其实感觉挺无聊的，但动物世界那段是真的狗哈哈
黑色幽默也有可以思考的↓
近期看到的最喜欢的惊（gao）悚（xiao）片，有一点看于妈演《她》的那种感觉了，但拍的更野。法国人玩黑色邪点大概就是“无论你是黑是白，是老是少，是素食主义者还是肉食动物，我平等的恨你们每一个人”。
欢乐却深刻，荒诞却真实，用疯狂的杀戮回应沉痛的伤害，用戏谑的笔触剖开人性的丑恶，酣畅淋漓的享受肉食的美味，喋喋不休的讽刺虚伪的世界，无人是旁者，他人即地狱。贪婪的欲望最终也与极端的末路殊途同归，原来我们都是时代的牺牲品……
挺讽刺的喜剧小品（2020.0505豆瓣6.9分）
之前看过，补标
充满了讽刺和血腥味道，谈不上好坏，就是剧本还是查了一些。
法国电影就是任性。挺有趣的一部荒诞喜剧片，把激进素食主义者和大资本家狠狠批了一顿。那个领了盒饭的在荤食店工作的素食主义者，我很🉑。
