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'.

前半段女儿独自穿越时，她努力想让母亲活的更好一些，后半段母亲跟着一起穿越更让人泪目，她想让母亲知道和亲历她对妈妈迟来的爱。但在真正的世界里，早早去世的母亲，她已完结的生活既不会更好，也不会知晓自此以后女儿一辈子的遗憾。
父母总是希望孩子健健康康快快乐乐的就好，并不奢求名牌学校月薪八万这样的成功。可是一个人一生要经历多少磨难，连平凡的快乐都太难了。
通俗，朴实，也笨拙。因为贾玲的创作姿态没有摆得特别高，倾诉方式平易近人，没有克制煽情，反倒让情也成了更真的情，是能走入人心的，就连大张伟唱的片尾曲都不再欢快洗脑，“世上最美好的祈祷”，这是喜剧人的忧伤。
笑惨了也哭惨了…这种感动对留学狗来说太致命了…
东拼西借，生挠胳肢，强行煽情，自我感动，
2021年的第一部电影。四个人看完，只有我一个人落泪了。最戳我的是"我来不高兴吗？""高兴。""我还能让你更高兴。"
故事挺烂的，到最后却也有种莫名的感动，看看这阴霾的世界，这虚伪的周遭，唯一能戳中所有国人的，也唯有如此炽烈而不讲缘由不顾后果的亲情了罢。
生硬突兀的情节推进之中，饱含着真挚的情感。前面埋下的伏笔，终于在暴力反转中大放异彩。不是艺术品。是礼物，用于纪念的。
我妈的人生是她自己选的不用我去改变，她过的是自己想过的日子不用我担心，即使我再没用我妈依然爱我。
中国式情感绑架的畸形关系，在不断的互相亏欠里自我感动，的确真诚但不该仅仅是这样。
6/10。喜感关键在剥露出角色的“差”：沈林光拼爹的官二代缺陷暴露无遗，他推着自行车却不会骑，影院换座的尴尬和结伴划船时被一盒饭的心形毛豆吃坏肚子，声称他爹建广播站和他成为广播员之间毫无关系，紧接被一位字正腔圆的排演者打了脸；而焕英和王琴凭票买电视时抢着插队、互扯辫子，排球赛用‘‘打铁娘子队’’队名奚落对手，以及被领导的群众碍于领导者面子，不敢嘲笑舞台上假装摔倒的领导者儿子，都体现了小心眼、对领导趋炎附势的普通人面孔。这种小品喜剧模式搭配上另一种庸俗的初恋潘多拉化叙事，更能刺激观众的生理机能。潘多拉是指中年危机的成婚者或家庭危机中的成长者，寻找初恋（或帮母亲寻找幸福伴侣）这一过程，最终回归现实认识到富贵如烟云（借由年轻焕英提早学会缝破裤子的小细节暗示黄粱梦的不合理性）来达到对观众哀乐的操控效果。
我收回之前的怀疑：因为，真心给自己母亲拍一部电影，顺便拿几十亿票房这件事太牛逼了，真的。
为李焕英，值得
异命题的三观正确的《夏洛特烦恼》，创作者的出发点是好的，但艺术风格和视听语言只停留在中学生命题作文水平。如果说喜剧只做到有笑有泪就可以，那么市场上将只会充斥着煽情机器——这也正是电影后半段的真实情况，设若不去打磨戏剧结构、凝练主题思想，再多的情绪堆积都是银幕上的精神鸦片和消费快餐。
那些记忆，不仅是贾玲的，而是所有人的。真实的孕育情感在电影里，以自身做衣，给他人做梦。
电影纬度肯定不及格，粗糙的视听语言和“非电影叙事”的小品拼凑感都很扣分，可依旧被结结实实的击中了，触动点不是反转后的煽情（因为当你意识到这是有意煽情后它就基本失效了），而是作者真挚的自我解剖和完全剥离“男性凝视”的女性之美，张小斐的一颦一笑胜过千言万语；所以啊，贾玲几乎是凭借一己之力打爆了春节档其他中年油腻男导演的狗头，绝对值得被鼓励
每一个人都很可爱
大年初一，早上9点50，一个人，影片结束飞奔出了影院，生怕让人看到我哭红的双眼！ps：全程笑了100多次，哭了十分钟，谢谢贾玲！
7.7分，看完后问一同观影的妈妈这个电影和《送你一朵小红花》哪个好？她说各有千秋。其实这是有道理的，就以这部电影前半段而言，真的很缺乏电影感，难怪让那么多影评人诟病。但比起《送你一朵小红花》那模棱两可的结局而言，无疑是《你好，李焕英》的反转胜了。有一个好反转的电影，在豆瓣上评分往往不会太低。
劇作有不少偷雞的地方，但基本的結構都碼齊了。疏漏好像也不太重要了，敵不過情感真摯，尤其看賈玲哭成個淚人時很難不觸動。
