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'.

我们国家上世纪就把这部小说搬上大荧幕啦。《黑白英烈》了解下。
短小精悍，法国人黑起各种xx主义起来真是流弊，为了吃上一口好的新鲜“伊朗猪肉”简直无所不用其极，爽的飞起！各种黑色幽默展现我觉得离不开字幕组的巧夺天工，尤其黄秋生的名作贯穿始终让人拍案叫绝。最后镜头后悔台词其实我们也是这种感觉啊，这个不做“美味佳肴”真的可惜了~
茨威格最大的理想是重拾世界的尊严。而至此为何美国如此另欧陆人神往也找到了理由，他们试图相信那里是昨日的世界的复刻，是新建的辉煌之城特洛伊。
血腥不够血腥，黄色不够黄色，搞笑不够搞笑，都差点意思吧，政治讽刺还挺到位，瞎看看吧。
这么阳光搞笑的Cult片倒是不多 怪恶心的……
素食主义者一边说吃什么是个人选择，另一边却又指责肉食的道德错误，本质是自私自利的文化霸权主义者。
这也太黑色幽默了吧。。。素食主义也好，肉食主义也好，个人选择而已！
法国搞笑版人肉叉烧包。大概是被政治正确人士那副“来咬我啊”的圣母婊做派憋出的灵感，以至于这个食人的主题本身已经跟恐怖没有关系了，更多的是黑么么的嘲讽。我其实对素食本身没有意见的，这本来是个人选择，但是这些年年年看环保恐怖主义恐吓系纪录片，看到我翻白眼也快成习惯了，难得看到有人把政治正确这样怼在地上摩擦，真的hin爽。另外哪位大神字幕给配的黄秋生，我一度以为这就是法语原版，神了真的。
文森特和索菲两口子的肉店经常被素食者砸店，生意堪忧。一次意外，文森特开车碾死了其中一名砸过他店的素食者，把素食者做成火腿准备处理掉时，阴差阳错被卖给了顾客，大受欢迎，至此，两位开始猎杀素食者来当猪肉卖。//没有政治正确，只有恣意的横飞。不过编导对极，端素食者的厌恶，从店主的女儿带素食男友回家吃饭的一段台词可见一斑：“喝红酒吗”“不喝，我只喝纯素酒，传统的葡萄酒会弄碎葡萄，会残杀无数的昆虫”/“乳酪是违反人性的，想象奶农强迫奶牛挤奶，这是不折不扣的奴隶制度”/“蛋糕里有蛋，蛋等于母鸡的肉”
刀第一个时太卧槽了，伊朗肉很好吃啊，欲罢不能啊！
黑色幽默也有可以思考的↓
让我想起了《自杀专卖店》，黑色幽默还是法国人会玩，导演狠狠的讽刺了素食主义者，黑人，穆斯林
故事模式很像美剧《返生餐单》，有一些很黑色的喜剧梗，但要邪恶得多。很难说这电影到底想说明个啥主题，我只是觉得如果条件允许，人自甘堕落的快感和能力是会超乎想象的。
好多地方看得我下体一紧...够重口，但是拍得有点拖沓。
搞笑消解了重口味，这种政治不正确的片子随便看看还蛮可爱。字幕组加戏太多了！！！！
动物世界的蒙太奇很有意思。整体上欢乐恶趣味。
这是一部从根源性探讨肉食和素食本质问题的电影，只是以恶搞和cult的形式呈现，字幕组也一并致敬了黄秋生和人肉叉烧包。
今天的我们应该矢志不渝的保持一个信念，那就是唯精神坚不可摧（有感于2021年上海疫情被封控70多天）
真的很好笑，好久没看到这种冒犯性这么强的喜剧片了，生动活泼
国外喜吃人肉的题材影片层出不穷，如今年发行的影片《新鲜》、《沉默的羔羊/汉尼拔》系列、《逃出食人农场(2017)》、《生吃Grave(2016)》、《绿色屠夫(2003)》、《食人恋(2013)》。本片大致剧情是，夫妻开肉铺经常被素食者攻击，生意惨淡！一天由于气愤开车撞死了一素食者，分尸后，苏菲却把尸块丢尽绞肉机做成了香肠售卖，意外发现顾客非常喜欢，生意由此火爆！为此，夫妇开始猎杀素食者，人肉黑店生意异常火爆！等素食者猎杀殆尽时，最后几个素食者寻事上门并绑架苏菲，文森特回家奋力杀了素食者
