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'.

整部电影凝练紧凑，90分钟没有多余的场景和对话；小演员的表现非常出色，仿佛看到一个未来影后的诞生；结局有些生硬，但就像电影的每个情节设计一样，它的不可预测性让人感到惊讶。
母亲角色的设定非常割裂，印出来女儿的孵化也是合情合理了。家庭关系的畸形变化，最后异化生物占据主体，也是看开头知结尾的地方了。。
20220520 周五 16:44 哪个才是我？暗黑那个？被俘虏的那个？杀死我的那个！通通都是我，自己造的因自己承受恶果。家庭表面和谐的假象存在着多少秘密，竟可以共存就是畸形的关系，哪个也不正常，正常就不是一个真正的家庭啦！
把现实的教育制度抨击的恰到好处，罐头小人充满了惊喜，感觉约翰真的是太可爱了。这部片子不仅仅让我们眼前一亮，更是让我们收获很多感动！如此看来，我国的童话故事可以在世界上有一席之地了👍🏻
多么讽刺，
其中的道理经得起时间考验，但作为一部影视作品，观赏性就明显不足够了。两星。
构思还不错，就是制作成本低了，拍不出很多惊悚片的感觉来，欧洲小国电影只能这样了？
反抗和脱离原生家庭带来的影响终归要伴随着血肉的挣扎和撕扯？🤔
电影，先说缺点，
童年回忆吧～看过漫画书，大概内容已经记不清了，只记得这些个人物。罐头小人粗糙了一些，服装和选角上应该更加精致一些。就是老师的势利眼太过了吧，鲁西西一直成绩那么好，突然有一次考试失利，怎么就一下子成老师眼中的差生了，难道平时成绩和平时印象都不在吗？一次的分能改变所有印象？这里太不现实。不过最后在小人开起直升飞机救人的时候还是内心澎湃了一下，差点哭出来。

少有的儿童真人剧，但是全片教育意义一般，主旨比较迎合当下的双减政策。女主鲁西西的扮演者演的真好。
童年滤镜让我给它打五星！航模起飞好燃，火灾献身、好友告别都好好哭，最后彩蛋也很惊喜！带女儿看这部记忆尤为深刻的儿时经典感觉很奇妙，虽然她对作弊片段印象最深…大概长大以后才会领悟到郑渊洁的很多童话是写给大人看的……记忆中还有一本《金拇指》那才是yyds.
没想到可以带着孩子看我小时候最爱看的故事，电影很好看，前面笑后面哭。孩子说妈妈我想哭，我说你哭吧，妈妈也看哭了
没有任何意义和内涵的片子，是不是源自北欧神话?就是一只修仙的乌鸦，想变成人形，放弃自己的鸟身，先变成了蛋，然后哪个人孵化它，它就变成那个人的样子！
北影节第二部 冲着郑渊洁去的 现在带孩子去的最多1/3 大部分还是8090后为童年记忆买单吧。主创见面以为是郑渊洁结果来了郑亚旗，什么玩意？？？就很奇怪对学历学校教育很不感冒的郑老师 怎么可能认同电影里各种学区啦升学压力啦……感觉这个儿子一直在吃老爸的底子
救命，给一星实在对不起片方，但是，作为一部2021年的电影…2021啊！我看懂了，但大受震撼。
有点少女版黑天鹅的意思，完美主义虎妈逼疯小姑娘也逼疯了自己，怪物既是女儿的黑暗面也是妈妈，各种明喻暗喻不要太好理解，“你和你妈妈长得很像”，“它很像谭雅但不是她”，还有抚摸女儿脑袋的手法，和那黑爪子一模一样
挺有意思的，小女孩演技不错，只不过本来以为是恐怖片走向，临了倒有了点非超自然的味道
