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'.

东亚文化圈内有这样一种叛逆：小时候唯父母、老师命是从的好孩子长大了反而会更加激烈地反抗父母，而从小就不听话的坏学生反而会早早地过上循规蹈矩的生活。
2022年了还要拍老年女性的性解放，不禁疑惑半个世纪前的年轻人真的比现在更保守吗？当然只看Daryl肉身也值了。
这部皮克斯动画里面的中国文化元素依旧很浅显，做自己和家庭教育的主题，红色熊猫很萌，但是剧情给人的感觉很俗套
太好看了吧，有青春期的躁动，有和父母的摩擦，有母女的相处，更有做自己的青春期感悟，这么多命题完美的融合到了一起，影院上映再去刷一波
封印的具象化很有意思。。。但为什么你家能住四合院
还是对东亚家庭老一套的看法，这种中西融合看起来怪怪滴~
中国传统家庭中成长的矛盾和与父母的冲突为主题，内涵简单，但是故事精彩纷呈。红色小熊猫的形象更是可爱喜人，每一个动作都透露着青春期女孩的可爱，更何况歌舞俱佳，美术一流，《心灵奇旅》之后最好看的迪士尼动画（03/13 晚上看完，03/14 晚上又在朋友家二刷） @Disney+
和小包子一样不伦不类，充满了老掉牙的刻板印象。
小熊猫飞跃的样子太萌了😭可能因为太过有共鸣，导致全程哭了好几次，尤其是最后一刻钟。认识自己，接受自己，与家人和解并脱离他们的束缚，是我们成为真正女人的开始，然而我自己还没有成功。有一部华人亚裔女性主导的动画片还是蛮值得鼓励的。
Pixar中最现实的一部，轻松愉快的预告片直接把我吸引进来，但发现并不是个纯喜剧，对于亚裔两代的关系刻画的还是比较压抑且感同身受，还好是个合家欢的结局！

影片完美还原了许多中国特色，中国祀堂，加拿大的唐人街，用小熊猫作为设定，门口的石狮子换成了小熊猫，还有经典的道士、神话传说，发生在2002年的元素应有尽有，包括人物眼睛放大时的画风，操场桌椅底下的口香糖，年代感古装电视剧。
我认为电影把许多东西给具体化出来，很多比如说女性的羞耻心，中国传统道德约束，女性的压迫，家庭束缚，甚至是女性月经等等，不论是不是意有所指，但确实有意或无意地把这些问题展开来进行探讨。至少，放到台面上，理性的客观的开始去正视。小熊猫非常可爱，走的是讨人喜爱的画风，剧情转折也衔接得非常棒非常自然，不会觉得尴尬或者抽离。ps：我喜欢的原因之一，是电影的主题跟我的想法很接近，我以前说：我心底里藏着一个恶魔，它总在唆使我……接纳自己是一个普通人，接纳自己有黑暗面，与自己内心深处的魔鬼和平共处。
故事内容还是有点太老套了，我也没共鸣，我妈也totally不是controlling freak。就是小熊猫也太可爱了，超fluffy
幸亏没有公映，不然会被别人看见哭。能变身是一件多么酷的事。
皮克斯出品的话真的欠太多，不明白为啥这么高分。
仿佛看到了初中的自己和同学，追星的中二病时期，每天放学后打打闹闹，有说有笑地结伴回家，过于关心保护、严苛要求子女，行事专断的家长大概都或多或少经历过。真的很羡慕美美，拥有三个真正关心她、理解她、尊重她的死党朋友，另外姑娘们真是搞钱小能手啊，自食其力，行动力超强！
没那么好看，东亚家长文化没那么容易讲清楚，但是传女不传男这个点看的还挺爽哈哈哈
红猫熊实在是太萌了，不过人物脸谱化太严重，人物动机经不起细究，其实在探寻母女关系的时候，子女独立的时候，父亲的缺位反而才是最严重的问题吧……
亚洲小孩很能共情的可爱电影了~其实这个小熊猫让我想到那个日本的动画片会计小烈...这个（大）小熊猫真的太可爱了，尤其是gyrating哈哈
