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'.

关于青春期的躁动。影片一味鼓励青少年做自己，但是为什么做自己如何做自己却缺乏说明。只能看到小毛孩脑子一热为了爽可以不顾一切，背后的隐患却避而不谈。不过爆米花嘛，无脑爽就行了。
好看呀，算是皮克斯中等马里最好的了，已经够到了上等马的门槛（主要争议还是在创意部分，对于许多老外来说应该是很棒的）…另外，这片子真是太懂戳大家的福瑞癖了～
看的是一直被可爱到，但好像也仅限于此了。虽然和母亲的和解，dddd。但是先看影评再看电影，没想到大家吹爆的隐喻，这么浅显的吗……
对于文化的深刻反思，虽然熊猫那么可爱，却觉得如此沉重到要落泪的程度，我们终其一生都无法摆脱他人对自己的期待，尤其是亲人期待的目光，那用爱铸成的枷锁，片子还结合了另一个话题，如何面对我们自身的不完美，与自我和解。最近几年看皮克斯总有种命题作文的感觉，可能是想要表达的都太高大上了吧。其实结合得还蛮好的。
塑造自己母亲为反派，刻板化亚裔家庭，鼓动所谓自由性格。突然想起周围总有人说工作后就不靠父母之类云云，有本事买房买车结婚都不靠，没学到欧美的经济独立，到学到欧美的叛逆，可笑。
比较喜欢里面那个拉美裔的小gay，虽然在影片前半段一直以反派的形象存在，不过可以看出他的社交地位实际上与女主角差不多。女主身边至少还有三个朋友，而他却只能靠着红熊猫的噱头才能吸引同学来参加自己的生日趴，这条暗线背后的人物状态很值得玩味
和解等于无解，到底是子女辜负父母的期待还是父母对子女有不切实际的期待。。。这片的歌怎么那么烂，随便挑首KPOP都比这强
this Disney shit is seriously getting on my nerve
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。
越是在幻想题材里讨论家庭关系，越是揭示出这一问题的绝望和可悲。李焕英，抱紧我，小妈妈，智能大反攻，青春变形记……实在是数不完了。
“你走的越远，我只会越为你骄傲”。这就是皮克斯一句台词拿捏住全篇泪点的功力。节奏不错，就是后期爱豆的吟唱助攻莫名其妙，爱豆流泪更莫名奇妙。
我可以再相信皮克斯了，然而我的青春里好像从来没有这只小熊猫XD 也可看做是80、90一代东亚人在西方文化冲击后的认知变化吧（靡靡之音！正经人谁去演唱会！）暗搓搓插入的福瑞控，以及一个想象中的古老母系氏族。但影片不时会低幼感爆棚（日式亮晶晶萌萌眼、男团四人宛如未成年观众也都是小孩）而且细想只是告诉孩子要做自己而没有探讨父母辈的教育方法，莫非就没想做全年龄段受众
｜22.04.12半个多月前就已经看完了，后劲一直绵绵密密持续到今天。第一次和红熊猫分离时meimei挣扎着拒绝和暗处的那部分自我做交割，我从那里就开始一路抹眼泪，放映到最后几乎是扯嗓子嚎啕。turning red的历程和东亚女性的成长、我的母亲、我的青春期何其相似。接受自己的emotion好难。就像《神奇动物》里的默默然一样，我们（东亚女性）每个人的身体里都有一只红熊猫，它当然也可能会变成有严重自毁倾向的默默然。
中式传统家庭亲子关系之成长的烦恼。。。
小熊猫真是太可爱了，胖胖的小女孩也是怎么看怎么令人怜爱。不同年龄段的人看这片估计感受差别很大，我这快三十岁的老阿姨只觉得生了个逆子，妈妈与其说是接纳的女儿的叛逆和自我，不如说是在和自己和解，劳心劳力为了女儿(除了wsj那段太刻意)，还要尊重孩子个人的愿望，奉献自己，成全儿女。
越是在幻想题材里讨论家庭关系，越是揭示出这一问题的绝望和可悲。李焕英，抱紧我，小妈妈，智能大反攻，青春变形记……实在是数不完了。
评论区乌烟瘴气，二元思想充斥其中，薛定谔的自尊心，不长脑子的田园女权
3.中国符号，神话故事、熊猫、宗祠
阳光姐妹淘，很美好
（6.5/10）看来最近对于皮克斯与迪士尼本部差异的区分还能用，虽然开头看起来好像好像木兰呢（当然是动画版，真人版不配），但放心，这一部不会存在一个汇聚一切焦点的“公主”。即便完全不考虑导演的那部短片和这种东亚背景的设定。这么说就更接近CoCo了。死党与家人的群戏相当出彩，虽然也没什么意料之外的惊喜吧，在该满足观众的地方做到了合格。小熊猫太可爱了，周边必须入一波。
