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'.

有时候看看主旋律爽片也不错，至少不用去思考那些深刻的东西，一切都停留在单调的正能量中
剧情简化成七连每个人是怎么死的，特效还蛮有看头，场面调度有点混乱，中国式英雄主义总是这样充满了牺牲和苦难。突然有些理解战争是如何作为毁灭和推进两种分裂的力量存在在人类文明中的，它是全人类的创伤，创伤无法消弭并且普遍存在。我们注定会前赴后继地为许多荒谬的意义制造战争，它本身即是惩罚。
全剧唯一感动我的就是最后那句“我希望恢复七连建制”。不能说不精彩，但是有些地方的夸张导致第一时间是疑惑，而不是感动。
感谢革命先辈们给我们创造了现在幸福美好的生活
相当不错，春节早早起床就是为了看这部电影，画面相当给力，。
我觉得比第一部好看，故事更紧凑，第一部有点散，战争节奏太快。平河最惨。
加一星为情怀。
当血肉长城阻退了战争机器，真是一部让人难过的爽片。和《长津湖》不同，本片主要是徐克导演，陈凯歌和林超贤成了监制，感觉拍得更好看了。看过长津湖战役的纪录片，其实真实的炸桥，炸了更多次，最后连桥墩都炸了，比影片还要残酷，最后还是输给了美国人在日本连夜定制“钢桥”。最后一个真正“浴火重生”的戏剧性结局，一个生命的消逝，换来了一个英雄精神的延续和民族的“未来”，不禁让人感慨绝了，还是得徐老怪啊。
以及这部真的不太适合随便带孩子看，看的话也可以先补补课讲讲相关历史常识。除了画面比较血腥小朋友会被吓到以外，观察了下周围的情况，小朋友基本完全不感兴趣坐不住，对不了解的故事表现得比较冷漠_(:зゝ∠)_
第二部在一些方面上有所弥补：表现了一个较为完整的故事；特效没有像上部那样假的过于离谱；战役描写也较为完整。但缺点同样明显：即使加入了诸多细节，但战斗描写依旧乱七八糟，条理不清，章法不明；节奏拖沓，很多地方并没必要搞得那么稀松缓慢，甚至让人看不下去；对方的人物刻画依旧那么智障，一个炮弹插在木板中，吴京手里拿着手枪，然后美国人就在那看……；很多地方不合逻辑，离谱至极，一个人能吸引走一队的飞机……；煽情说教环节太多。
万里能活着，是因为大年初一。唉，战争残酷到难以面对和承受
比长津湖好看：慢了下来，同时放大细节，让一个擦伤、钉子看起来比被轰炸更疼痛，也让情感表达更真挚；战争讲述伴随策略一步步十分清晰，不再是一股脑快速剪辑下的狂轰乱炸。
6/10。徐克将悲情美学和霹雳迅猛的动作场景，在一次次桥毁墩塌的巨大震响和粉碎性爆射中推向情绪的彻底释放。志愿军声东击西、擒贼擒王，打掉探照灯、炸掉弹药堆、突入水泵房、高速滑雪山、冲进坦克底，他们的骨肉被坦克碾碎，为保全集体扑向手雷、吸引敌机密集的枪弹，吞没于大片燃烧弹制造的火海，最后万里抱着哥哥遗体滚下烧化的雪流，以惨重牺牲来扭转战局，美国人则是以逸待劳、兵来将挡，出动成批浩荡疾驰的坦克、遮天蔽日的轰炸机、从天而降的钢桥梁，压迫着幸存的志愿军，整个战局布满谋划、应变，颇有武侠小说风味。不过历史呈现上仍有迎合的趋向，数百名志愿军进攻炸桥却无力阻挡美军安全撤退的真实情况，被缩减成小分队虽败犹荣的壮举，并拍摄了敌舰仓皇逃离的岸边被志愿军高举枪支淹没、红围巾迎风飘扬的胜利场面，以弥补歼敌未成的挫败感。
制空权轰杀最为令人绝望，刀俎鱼肉，科技绝对是第一生产力。
即便看了再多抗美援朝的电影，还是会难受，因为没有制空权的新中国凭借着中国人民的强大意志打碎美帝国主义妄想付出的沉重代价。战士们向着日出说是祖国的方向，新中国万岁的时候眼泪真的会掉下来。付出生命炸桥，对方分分钟又修好了，可只要桥还在，任务就还在。直到最后，七连实到1人，我真的哭死。
这部片子感人吗？是感人的，真实吗？有待商榷，宣传的作用大于事实，不过让一些人因为这部电影的争议去了解历史也是一件好事，更多的人了解了真实的抗美援朝，年轻人进一步理解了历史，警钟长鸣。 青山有幸埋忠骨，牺牲的志愿军同志们护住了自己的妻儿老小，再也没有列强可以欺辱他们了，如今人人都能有衣穿，有饭吃，但是打江山容易守江山难，一代人有一代人的长征，盼今世之人勿忘赤子之心，路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索
前一个小时剧情较少打仗场景密集看的很疲惫，后一小时故事比较丰富，第一部泪点在老雷，第二部泪点在余从戎。另外易烊千玺人物塑造力真的蛮强的。
志愿军战士永垂不朽！美帝打朝鲜战争时已经富了100多年，当时的工业全球第一，三次舍生忘死的炸桥，美帝最后用两天在日本赶制钢板空运到水门桥一铺就过桥了。能够取得胜利，靠的是英勇无畏的精神！72年过去，国人当自强，科技创新迎头赶上。
看得我哭的要死
特效不错，节奏还是有问题。煽情点能不能放在不那么紧张，抢时间的地方？
