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'.

讲道理真的感觉这个组太穷了，搞点钱多拍点打戏吧，求求了
“和我在一起，去哪里都会被发现。
2.5，两倍速也依旧很乏味的片子，剧情磨叽到不行，搞了半天男主阳痿啊，女主是没有嘴吗要为男主平反大可公开表达自己的思想，立本人就这么喜欢含蓄无言的爱吗。。。(有几个镜头蛮美的，横滨流星演技好钝，跟广濑丝丝一比差距太大了
和第一部比，战力提升的有点过分，太过分了。
和第一部不是一个层次的，拖沓，拉跨，实在接受不了姐姐那中年妇女的造型。
两个半小时，犹犹豫豫、拖拖拉拉，角色单薄暧昧。丝丝有突破但还欠点火候，眼波流动还是很灵！其他两位，就脸谱化瞪眼睛。
看完真的很難不心疼村長…雖然很老土但是這種雙向救贖我還是蠻吃的…（雖然我覺得我不會再看第二遍了）我覺得還蠻意境的hhh結尾擦番茄醬那段隱忍感好好…以及結尾那段比我第一次看到村長的pg還要震驚
一、年少时的成长环境带来身心隐疾是大基础。更纱为开篇，亮君作承转，阿文是收尾。均一笔带过……
什么杰宝玩意儿啊，这崩了啊，这就感觉上一部是John Wick第二部直接变Neo了啊，感觉完全没明白第一部能火的爽点在哪里......
150分钟熬干了后悔观看的眼泪😂 对比起来 突显原作的可读性 （莫名其妙的重点放在横滨流星转型 任何场戏不为影片服务的话又有什么意义呢 那唯一呢 就是松坂桃李似乎一直在选挑战性质的角色 这勇气点个赞吧
先不说故事有没有深度。有些画面是有意境的，男女主感情是存粹的，故事也是我喜欢的。
其实すず的这个角色也有在突破以前的形象啊，但就演得很好，是真的灵。
男女主两个人都长了嘴却偏偏不愿意开口
我们看到的真相是那么有限，更要珍惜当下的爱意与温度。
节奏竟然如此之慢，郁结在心里的块垒消弭于各位主演拧巴的神情之中，没想到结尾给恋童癖藏了一个大招...
但是我一直有疑问，阿文，你喜欢她吗？你到底是喜欢小女孩（恋童癖），还是喜欢更纱？
脑子里乱作一团麻，呼吸变得异常沉重。
李监督拍社会罪案题材的手感还是很好的，镜头和配乐都不错，但是剧情略有些牵强……这是什么很难向大众解释的事情吗？没有血缘关系的救助就是犯罪？霓虹金也太死板了，倒是被舆论渲染成伥鬼一样的事件了。（等看了原作再判断是哪边的锅）
两个半小时太长了，既然没怎么交代童年，大可以缩减篇幅。不过，那种伤痛让人一生流浪的氛围感还是拍得不错。
