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'.

4、沉默是最大的打击
3.5星。故事蛮好看！女主跳脱出“Wife”身份，完美地复仇诠释了“Boss”式的大女主角色，女主的沉着冷静让人佩服。预告片剪辑真好，看过预告片后看整部电影前4/5都觉得普通，但到临近结尾1/5左右，女主跟驾照教练一起回家后，故事一直反转又反转，片名中指的“先生”一直在男主、女主和驾照教练间反复横跳，反转不停，配上竹内玛利亚的片尾曲《Plastics Love》就很贴合主题，绝配曲。
看之前期望并不高 结果看完发现还挺厉害的 我从聊一聊开始就有点分不清现实和漫画了 一开始企图以背景灯光的打开为区别 但是看完发现。。啊 设置的太巧妙了 薛定谔的出轨啊 这样的报复真的爽
不适合婚姻的人压根就别结婚，否则跟谁谁倒霉
有《登堂入室》珠玉在前，这部无论剧本还是镜头语言都显得平庸了，本来奇异的情感和人物关系经日式处理变得过于温吞，像一部高开低走的春季日剧sp
骗人，驾校没有这种教练，以及我对黑木华真的爱不起来。
之前看了预告就蛮想看的，几个演员也都很喜欢，这种慢慢的调子也可以静下心来看下去。最喜欢的是结局，女主没有原谅男主，复仇成功。不懂为什么既要出轨又希望能保持和妻子的关系。这部柄本佑的几个镜头到真的觉得和柄本时生很像。
婚姻复仇爽剧啊！从此以后你要画我和别人的外遇故事了，你开心吗？
男主没有东亚醋王的感觉差了点意思，结局不是没想到过，就看女主是否还爱着男主，爱着就是挖坑，不爱就是复仇，女人狠起来真就没男人什么事了。
漫画版 妻子的复仇 用漫画推动剧情发展 这个创意可以
女主你真狠啊 我都被骗了 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈/不原谅赛高/大地角色适合➕1
节奏超棒！可太有意思了！本来还在担心烂尾 作为女性可爱惨这个结局了 哈哈哈哈哈哈 可现实中又有多少妻子能这样抽离处理呢？不知道有没有漫画 想追诶 哈哈哈哈哈 BTW想学漫画想学开车了怎么办 哈哈哈
最后的两三次反转，漫画和现实的交织节奏让人看得很舒服，尤其是最后摊牌时刻现实与漫画高度同步交织，导演通过灯光的冷暖切换来区别转场，让人想起《致命女人》的最后一集经典交织片段，值得一个四星，唯一的缺点是前半节奏较慢。给黑木华女神致敬，细腻的演技，完美拿捏了。
最后一分钟彻底爽了，渣男和小三就痛苦一辈子吧哈哈哈哈哈

3.5。不落俗套，柄本佑太有喜感了。ED居然用了Plastic Love，跟主题还挺搭。
漫画家女主如何优雅复仇，除了掌掴老公和小三，本片为你提供了新思路[破涕为笑]。柄本佑演得很好，把窝囊自私又带点天真的巨婴老公演得入木三分，闪回到有志漫画家的时候又目光坚定闪闪发光。故事结尾非常妙，留下了巨大的想象空间，在回味时每个观众可能都有自己的解读。
It’s ok. Not my fav. The dialogue is so lame and too cliché that didn’t work for me. Being nice doesn’t mean with no limit and not to think about the catastrophic consequence. A little kid’s stubbornness shouldn’t be encouraged and act without any responsibility. Hence the script is very lame and not well treated. I am not convinced.
用惊悚片的形式来表达对伴侣出轨的愤怒，看得挺烦节奏太拖了，选角很好。
…妻子的复仇？尼玛，就秀恩爱给前夫咯 无语
