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'.

比预期要好一些，毕竟是改编作品，故事起承转合确实完整。笑点确实不少，但实在受不了舞台剧式的拍法。
虽然有意料之中的垮，但也有不少意料之外的好笑。
符合春节档的一贯气质，气质归气质，但看着实在太尴尬了
好笑不代表好 2022/2/12@峨影with L
几乎都是笑着泪着出来的，全场都在爆笑和抽泣，可以说是麻花这几年最好看的喜剧电影。没有沈腾客串的麻花电影超越沈腾的西红柿首富，马丽和魏翔贡献了荧幕最佳cp❤️
意大利突突那里，一个子弹都没有伤人是不是太鬼扯了。这部电影看着别扭的问题就在于黑帮的真，非常不真，无论是艾伦的真杀手，或者是陈明昊的真老大，都太喜剧演员了。本来由真实世界与虚拟表演之间形成的对冲，就完全没力度了。马丽本来我也喜欢的，但，实在不适合这个昔日大美人的角色。两星全部给我从好多年前看麻花时就喜欢的魏翔，花絮那里哭着说是第一个男主角是全电影最动人之处。
好笑就可以了，虽然是翻拍剧本扎实有关系。致敬了《雨中曲》和《教父》，包袱很不错，笑死了！
看魏成功表演感觉像是在拆盲盒，你永远不知道他能给你带来什么惊喜
魏翔看得出是憋着劲在演的 剧里剧外都是终于有机会当男一 配乐的那首粤语歌很好听 完全反应了小人物的心声
美术差。
5.三谷幸喜、星護的喜剧得去补一波
这里有个问题，就是原版里的杀手演员，可从来没拿自己当小丑。所以，喜剧的底色就更加悲凉了。
就是很俗套，俗套到几乎抛出一个梗，我就会想到接下来的几种可能。但笑点还是有的…毕竟马丽还是很可以…
魏翔演的魏成功，其实也是魏翔，将戏里戏外演的第一个男主联系起来，就会觉得这种追梦更加感动
4.通过这部电影开始有点理解喜剧的构思，这部是不断在戏剧与现实之间的错位中寻找笑点，很高级的做法。一个场域中有的在戏内，有的在戏中戏内，有的在现实中，观众必须要带入一种角色，既要带入又不能带入，喜剧效果就这样产生了。
一个弄假成真的糊涂龙套翻身故事，也算是个低配版“喜剧之王”吧。米兰的角色其实可以找个更加年轻貌美的出演，选马丽可能是出于角色反差的喜剧效果，或者还有对票房的考虑。黄才伦终于能在一个高票房电影里混个脸熟了。整体而言，故事桥段并不新颖、笑点也谈不上多出色，比较多的还是靠舞台剧的演员功底制造喜剧效果，也有不少很尬的清洁，但也不失为一个能让观众发笑的好氛围的轻松喜剧。
银幕上的龙套出演着第一部大电影，那么魔幻
You were given this life because God knows that you are strong enough to live it.
6 改编的剧本还挺成功的，有些喜剧之王的意思。段子大部分还是来自原片，本土化的桥段偏尬。片子的迷影情节是一大败笔，只是拙劣的翻拍经典和套用台词，比较生硬。
当小品看还行，看过原版，再看翻拍版就是很难进去。虽说日版也很夸张，但是演员信念感会强一些，这个信念感相对差一些。两星半。
