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'.

东亚的母女关系，因为搞不清楚Who I am 所以有时候是反过来的。我最喜欢的中国风，依然是功夫熊猫。
中式家庭的母女关系刻画的入木三分，不能以爱之名来满足自己曾经的意愿~
用熊猫代表本我的动物性，选华裔代表被压抑个性的群体，符号择取上有心思。红色、熊猫、竹林、旗袍、道场、祠堂、chinatown，中国元素使用得十分讨巧。最后一次仪式时粤语唱经声中渐入b-box，再叠加4-town的出场，可称神来之笔；同样让人拍手称赞的还有用首饰进行封印的构思。Pixar的创作人员应该都放飞了自己的red panda，才能每次都献出这么brilliant的创意；而中国的内容创作之所以如此疲软乏味，可能也是因为同样的原因——人不有趣，作品也难以有趣。
接受比抗拒更加需要勇气。Abby太太太太太可爱了吧！！！！！！！！
从畸形的母女关系展开,结尾却落到“接受不完美的自己”,矛盾点似乎发生了偏差？原生家庭问题和做不做自己是两个问题,接受自己是主观意愿,原生家庭则属外力干涉.而结尾依然选择用“爱”化解一切,等于白说...“爱观念”在三代人之间从来不曾消失,关键是令人窒息的“爱方式”,可惜片中只着重展现“爱方式”的表象,却在解释三代移民产生这种“爱方式”的根源上做得不太够,可能对第三代移民而言,先祖文化已经陌生为一种遥远的“景观”而无法感同身受.所以此片的价值观也还是主要对标西方吧,个人看来还停留在隔靴搔痒.鸡娃导致的原生亲子关系问题则并无国别之分,狼多肉少的国家/阶级不都这样？对移民情节的最佳阐释个人认为尚无人能与陈志勇的《抵岸》匹敌。
情节让人有共情感，大熊猫很可爱，没想到小熊猫也这么可爱，加一星
四🌟吧但是太共鸣了我爆哭，东雅妈宝女的欲望迸发和自我觉醒。发现短评很多人似乎没有留意年代是2002，正好不就是我们这代人吗😭而被压抑得最厉害、欲望也最膨胀的就是我们上一代这群六十年代生人啊。
3.5/5，靠一点可爱和毛茸茸取胜！故事很常规，内心monster的故事融在家族文化和历史里，文化性很强
把我小时候同时面对太婆外婆几个姨妈还有我妈时的感觉都表达出来了。
我觉得最好看粤语版，次选国语，结合东方文化更加有代入感。母亲的期待，与女儿的“弑母”。电影时长稍微短了一点，剧情也相对简单，有意避开了一些本应发生的冲突。估计这次迪士尼和皮克斯定位的是青少年。 / 2022.3.15 家
自卑敏感，羞于见人，暴躁而极具破坏力，性意识觉醒，红色对应着月经，其实变身就是一个青春期隐喻。而渡过青春期的秘诀正是这样两点，朋友，和接受自己。靠朋友维持情绪正常，也只有找到自己的优点和与人交往的方式，才能获得更多朋友。
东亚噩梦用美国梦化解。有些未明之处，熊猫力的母系传承与李氏祠堂的父系宗族是有根本冲突的，导演似乎回避了这个问题。
作为一名中国观众很有代入感，也很羡慕小美的“变形”。大多母亲的控制欲都很强，偷看日记、到学校送午饭、去同学家抓孩子回来，而大多父亲忙于工作，基本不见人影，所以现实生活中的小美不会如此幸运。她们就像《狗十三》中的李玩，没有朋友，没有爱情，为了让家人满意，不惜撕碎自己，躲在无人角落独自哭泣。
好可爱好想rua，动物化展示女性生理成长，小鲜肉和奶奶团的交叉还蛮有新意。主要是可能年纪大了，看皮克斯动画总觉得多动症很疲惫，第二幕就走神了
表面中国风其实是日本风的全面胜利，内容毫无深度
成年后我花了非常非常多的时间跟爸妈拉锯 如果和解真的只需要把彼此割伤一次就好了
power woman啊，以“变形”来审视当代女性——先是身体变化，再是精神坚强，继而接受自己的个性，方可拥有独立人格。没有像样的对手，所有冲突均集中于掌控一切的严母和热爱自由的女儿之间的家庭冲突，也得亏了母亲，女儿才能找到她所谓的女性品质。
近年所谓北美亚裔电影全都大同小异地展示代际家庭冲突，而纵然鲜有作品达到超越题材的深度和细腻，本片的处理依然是最单纯、直白乃至避重就轻的那类。动画形式不该为此开脱，但也确实适于作为逻辑宽松的承载，畅快地代表共同的倾诉，即使代价是衬出现实的无奈。另外2002年的背景设定真的有好好用上吗？
太过中式典型到近乎令人不适的程度。srds谁能拒绝毛茸茸的小熊猫呢！
和《包寶寶》一樣，石之予依舊說了一個兩代隔閡的故事，上一代再一次試圖吞噬下一代，不過這一次又進了一步，還有女性性啟蒙的隱晦表達，用魔法來表現五千年性壓抑是一場如何的災難。Whatever，求求迪士尼讓4★Town正式出道吧，是時候讓90年代流行曲風再次翻紅了
