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'.

这部电影很好的展现了老龄化这一社会化问题以及普遍存在的情况。
内容冗长无聊，毫无重点，角色塑造生硬，念词机器，打一分是因为没有0分，味同嚼蜡，无聊至极，堪称华语电影史上的灾难。
备战考公务员虽然屡战屡败，但收获了林允儿这个美貌女朋友，我觉得也算人生赢家了。有强迫症一切都得双数的酒店老板与拥有无数次舞台剧面试失败的可爱小客服的爱情，老年偶遇的初恋重新走在了一起，经纪人与歌手的惺惺相惜堪比爱情（对不起，李光洙虽然在动情的哭但我还是觉得很好笑），女生一直暗恋男性朋友不曾表白最终还参加了男性朋友的婚礼。虽然是碎片故事，但都发生在一个酒店里。圣诞氛围电影还是比不了《真爱至上》。
有尊严地生存&生活
感恩每一个平凡的父母，给予我们最不平凡的爱，珍惜父母爱人在我们身边的每一天
3。真情实感。可惜片段式的表达方式不够完整
片头长镜无敌了！至于影片最后的拷问“为了什么”，其实无解…就好比喝伏特加必须一口闷，才够味吧。
西北男版依然爱丽丝……养老问题真的最后的解决办法只能是解决老人……影片反映的主要是苦难煽情，以及非常浅层的人文关怀。比如我们从中只知道那老年痴呆的老头喜欢吃米粉肉，除此之外，他本来是怎样的人，他与老伴、与女儿们的深层交流是怎么样的，创作团队似乎没有要表现的意思，可能是因为这些“看似”都和这个病给其他人带来烦忧无关。然而不去梳理这个老头病前、病后，光透过其他人伺候病人多痛苦，其实是很浅陋、缺少人文关怀的方式。
情感细腻，非常贴近生活。在中国，描写阿尔兹海默症，养老这类现实题材的文艺电影，真的特别少。哭的脑瓜子嗡嗡的。
元真儿演技好烂，我老感觉她眼珠要瞪出来了
民族志纪录片上放的，导演和制片人来了现场。踢皮球的小男孩影射了女主的哥哥（发高烧去世的儿子），第一幕出现在烧纸钱的时候，哥哥出现，以及最后一幕，父母去世时，家人团聚，时空交织。 影片既显沉重，又想略带温暖地收尾。感觉导演想表达的太多了。中间蓝色窗帘的那一幕和结尾躺在水里的那个……迷惑？不如躺水里直接结束了……
处处可见《Love actully》的影子，但是又改动得很突兀，很浪费演员。
有时候小众影片真的会很吸引人，长镜头的现实叙事加上少部分的魔幻表达，更容易让人联想，阿尔兹海默症的父亲，竭力照顾的母亲和女儿，无一不表达出亲情之间的关系，剧中细节还挺多的，真心希望小众影片能让更多人知道
人类俗套爱情合集，整个电影俊男美女都一对一对，只有李光洙是真喜剧人。不知道这个电影什么时候拍的，2022年跨年，但是为啥整部电影一个戴口罩的都没有！没有！
虽然题材不错
只对你一个人说！圣诞快乐，你也是
典型的贺岁片，浓浓的圣诞风味，确实很《真爱至上》，群像戏，cp很多。最让我大笑不止的居然是姜河那，最让我鼻酸不已的居然是李光洙，也挺意外的。韩剧式的错过和巧合，当作故事来消遣也挺好，算是很治愈了。
07/ 胜孝和素珍的故事线治愈我了 - “我们并没有因为相互不够坦诚而变的不幸 过去15年作为朋友陪在你身边的我很幸福”
