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'.

虽然是个普通过时的故事，但是谁不想有一只又大又红彤彤的狗狗呢！
还行吧，剧情很套路化，看开头就能猜到结尾，也经不起推敲，比如那大公司的安保系统。最好笑的是结尾强行升华说不应该排挤别人，但电影本身却创造一个由刻板形象堆积成的亚裔小男孩角色，身型瘦小+黑框眼镜+学霸，可能这就是西方所谓的政治正确和伟光正吧。
非常zzzq一部片，剧情也很简单，但是拍的太可爱咯。
暖啊 想起了Yoyo小时候的点滴 好像她一转眼就长大了
就… 适合跟小朋友一起看 寓教于乐。大红狗一出现，脑子就自动跳到前段时间看的那只红熊猫去了… 相对来说，更喜欢红熊猫呢。
关于狗的电影太多了，从《101斑点狗》到《忠犬八公》，《一条狗的使命》等等等，已经把观众的神经都拉倒审美疲劳了，于是如何利用最大的噱头来吸引观众的眼球？于是便有了一条又大，又红的狗出现了，这纯粹是我的臆想，因为除了大，除了红，我不知道这条狗还有任何可以记忆的点吗？故事的格局也很小，一个女孩，一个舅舅，就这么来来去去的几个场景，看的我很拥挤，这么大的狗狗，我总是觉得他应该去更大的地方生活，还有那位神奇老人的魔法，我看来更像是一个诅咒，爱越多，狗就越大，这都是什么鬼设定？我知道很美好，很理想化，可吃饭拉屎睡觉，每一样我觉得对这个家，对狗狗来说都不是最好的方式，还不如让它去中国的公园呢，人长大了，有些东西不得不像成年人那样去思考，因为只有切身的体会过才知道有多少东西是我们没办法控制的！
噢，小区邻里之间也太友爱了吧，不过毕竟也是，谁能决绝一只巨大的拉布拉多小可爱呢hhh。电影主题很不错非常适合儿童观看，就是那个亚洲小男孩的造型还是带点外国人对亚洲人的刻板印象以外，其他都还好
全片最让我出乎意料的是片尾的对白“有证据表明老朝奉是…”“都不重要了”
比较低幼，小朋友可能觉得有个红色的大狗狗很好玩，但我就觉得好恐怖。如果全是动画的话，感观会好很多，但三次元的话还是接受不了
不太好看，剧情散乱没有重点，东一榔头西一棒子的，但因为花了钱只好坚持到结束才出来，不算大烂片，但没什么必要花钱看
适合孩子看，太政治正确了，剧情有点无趣。成长一定要搞得世界一团糟才可以吗？
劇情雖然薄弱，但是表現出對動物的尊重熱愛就很值得傳播這樣的觀念和態度。
为了大红狗加一星，剧情套路的没边，适合小朋友看
就像在压力山大的平日早晨来一碗味道熟悉但还是很香的牛奶燕麦片。因为狗勾可爱，所以影响大人判断的因素可以忽略。
很久没有看过这么一部纯粹的动物动画电影了，虽然大狗的造型有点粗糙，但是剧中除了绝对的反派外，其余每个人都很善良，果然是童话改编的，看完非常治愈。每个人都是独特的，我们不能因为某一个人某种“不合群”就看不起他，欺负他。小孩子都懂的道理，成人怎么会不明白呢？因为一个小女孩，一只大狗，温暖了一个城市。就是不知道有了大狗狗，以后这个城市的草地上还会不会有翻滚球这个体育运动呢？哈哈，总觉得这个项目像人形仓鼠球。
好喜欢拉布拉多，即使变大了也依旧超级可爱！！！！！很有爱的一部电影。
非常迪士尼，非常合家欢。作为电影只有6.5-7的水准，但作为一部儿童片，可以给8分。
6.0分！勉强合格的探险寻宝古玩冒险商业片，整体而言观影体验有些一般，商业娱乐效果没做好，虽说在寻宝过程中加入了挺多喜剧元素，更有着葛大爷的重磅加盟，但效果一般般，故事剧情有着明显的漏洞和不足，男主的爷爷把真佛头藏在外壳里骗过众人送给了日本人，这不还是把真的给送出去，当了汉奸！另外，他怎么就知道将来日本人就一定会把佛头再送回来？更大的可能是被霓虹人收藏起来或者干脆就卖给了西方列强！此外，雷大头演绎的邋遢男主着实没多少人格魅力，不知是他演过很多类似的角色还是怎么的……
带娃看的第一部电影。简单美好正确也定式。中国有钱人比美国有钱人善良；不能因为又大又红就把它当作威胁。。
合家欢，不过也没有过于欢乐，剧情一般化，大概率这电影明年会引进。
