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'.

作为一部迪士尼挺不错了，作为皮克斯还差一点
我们终其一生都是要摆脱他人的期待 找到真正的自己
感觉是为了表达主题而表达，既不好笑，也不感人
一开始心想又是什么左宗棠鸡电影。看到最后却看哭了，一代又一代母女之间的控制和失望。尤其是美美牵着哭泣的妈妈走过竹林的时候。我们这一代人有几个好好地度过了青春，即使活到中年，内心也还是一个哭泣的小孩子。
《青春变形记》今日上线Disney+！这绝对算得上是近几年皮克斯出品动画的天花板之作！简直好看到爆炸！！！影片由《包宝宝》导演石之予执导，虽然聚焦在多伦多唐人街，却有着满满的中国风！大红熊猫真的可爱到爆，影片细节也是极其考究。故事设定在2002年，祠堂里日历上清楚的显示着马年，家庭风格与唐人街设计也十分还原！影片借助焦虑会变成红熊猫的设定去表达一些青春期的问题，对此影片的人物刻画的非常到位，切实体会到了青春期那段畅想、叛逆甚至焦虑的时光。不断的成长，克服道路上的困难，认识自我，理解家庭，这部作品用高质量的动画诠释了这些概念。准备二刷了！
虽然一大家子小熊猫很萌，但也不喜欢祖宗宗祠这种东西，哪怕是母系。要什么祖宗，真正的rebel会唾弃这种东西吧……【但同时又很related我妈，就，五十多岁才开始真正解放，比电影里的妈妈晚多了（当然我自己能活明白也晚多了，羡慕枫叶国
皮克斯的青春成长片套路真是屡试不爽，只是现实中的我们却没办法让成长的烦恼变成一个美妙的奇幻故事。
一只长得并不可爱的肥胖发红熊猫在唐人街乱串？
厌女和信奉孝道的社会里典型的、拧巴的母女关系。女孩子长大成人的过程，便是杀死体内那只红熊猫的过程。青春期萌芽的自我、作为一个真实的人奔腾不息的自然天性——这只红熊猫，被视作“红水・猛兽”，在“好女孩”“乖女儿”“女人味”的规训下，沿着祖母→母亲→女儿的代际链条，被一次次压抑、扼杀、窒息。真希望每个妈妈都能带女儿去看这部电影，不，每个女儿都能带妈妈去看这部电影。
2.中国家长（近两年对女性对家庭贡献的再发掘）母亲，对子女的控制欲
3.5分，还不错，挺可爱的，想不到可以用这样的方式讲女孩们的成长烦恼。只是不太明白为什么设定是2003年？华人家庭的气氛也似乎有点儿太古代了。
受不了这种每个点都落在预期里面的感觉，就没有一点点惊喜，一点点都没有……
男的偶像g里g气
真的很感动，因为在这里见了太多，自我绑架的母亲，甚至还把下一代也拖入迂腐和封建，真正爱是我知道自己背负的枷锁的有多糟了，所以希望你逃开，向上变得不一样
挺轻灵的市民喜剧，这个传统其实有点失传了，没想到兜兜转转又续上了，某种意义上也是一种题材红利。这种小趣味小机灵，专心纠结男男女女那点儿事儿，在现在的空气里已经难能可贵。这对「小」的甘心，招人喜欢。
不知道为啥这部动画片评分这么高，皮克斯这几年的动画片都是为了讲道理而创作，虽然没有啥硬伤，不过剧情实在太公式化，让人看一半就知道结局。
东亚ru圈高级黑，刻板印象实锤。但是说是纯刻板也没那么认同，制作班底里很多华裔。宗不宗祠的大家也都不是傻子，这种完美控制型鸡娃可能仍旧是上一代乃至Z世代“体面”父母里的典型。片中母亲对于闺女各种隐私边界的僭越超有感触！公开场合让小孩颜面尽失真的很伤人且伤害不可逆…除此之外，小熊猫的设定真的很可爱ww（多数人面对furfur的东西大概就是草履虫反应XD
上一次看到这么喜欢的国产电影是什么时候呢 倪虹洁走进ktv时低了低头 又撑起笑容；马伊琍在天台说 再年轻一些的时候我也吃这套；小玛雅说“我背叛了” 老白赶紧说“我乱说的 你们什么事都没有”；老乌的爱情神话 看哭了 葬礼那段很喜欢 来和去都本应是如此自然的事
彼此和解，
不是很喜欢这部作品，特别是最后抱几下吼几句就强行化解了这种代代相传的母女纠纷，感觉虎头蛇尾，而且这种西方视角中的中国元素的呈现，充满了拼贴感和奇观化的迎合意识，最为割裂的就是欧美唱跳组合来给东方仪式来做BGM，还有这种对东亚充满掌控欲的家长的批判又理解的复杂情绪，不是很能搞懂主创的用意，如果妈妈从这种亲情的受害者一步步慢慢变成了加害者，那么到底什么才是该批判的，妈妈的妈妈吗？到最后又是保留野兽形态从容生活这种我就是我的纯西方价值观，看完让人不舒服的原因就在于这部作品在暗示东亚传统文化中的一些负面元素，同时大推美式的现代性和正当性，说多了未免有点上纲上线，看萌萌的熊猫纯粹乐呵一下也ok
