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'.

花一个多小时描绘了什么叫。。。作。。with Moon
我不知道跨年的这一晚究竟是开心还是难过更多，因为你在我身边陪我一起度过，可我们却只是朋友～
不带攻击演员地说，杨玏演戏总还是给人一种“笨笨”的感觉。
突然知道杨玏像谁了！吸血鬼日记的Stefan！都是马脸
时不时地想看无脑甜甜虐虐剧，够甜够虐够真实，这俩原地锁死吧❤️我就是想看他俩在一块儿！不知道为什么我总觉得杨玏好真实…
最让我感慨的是那句“在一起那么久，却连彼此真正想要什么都不知道”。
确实如热评所说，看得人好累😓
跟朋友一起看的，向她那段电影行业的用研经历致敬。
流水线电影，剧情挺魔幻，ons的感情非要演成真爱故事，女主性格有点作，男主各方面get不到魅力。就分开了挺好，强行he没必要。
谈恋爱时要的仪式感，别人看着做作，自己觉得很甜。分手时丢失的安全感，自己天都塌了，别人说句至于吗？
之前没看过30而已，第一次看到荧幕情侣这么搭的，国内爱情片里算还可以的，前半段谈恋爱还是很甜很般配的，没有那种特别大的浪漫，都是普通人互动的小细节，这种细节堆积也是后来缺少沟通矛盾升级的原因，很琐碎，对情侣来说应该很真实，毕竟大部分恋爱分手的原因都是失望堆积。
7.5分#电影跨年🎬杨玏✖️毛晓彤这对《三十而已》中的养鱼cp此番重聚银幕，在电视剧中个人并没有感到太强cp感的养鱼夫妇在这部电影中竟意外的好磕，两位青年演员的演技也还算过关，剧情相对简单命了，相遇➡️相爱➡️相守➡️吵架➡️分手➡️重逢➡️复合，103分钟的时长中节奏推进的比较快，虽没有太多名场面但没有洒狗血已属于国产爱情片中的清流了，对于“招财”、下雪、火锅等细节的描绘比较细腻，穿过隧道看电子烟花➕买糖炒栗子捂手这样的小片段就还挺暖的，杨丞琳演唱的主题曲与电影配乐舒服好听也算加分项，虽然HE的大团圆结局有点俗气平常，但配上故事的结局时间定格在电影上映的这天（2021年12月31日）就显得顺理成章也非常符合大家对新年的美好愿景了～
十分钟之内狠狠不适了。1.毛晓彤作为大堂经理工作五年竟然要在北京看房买房了？2.毛晓彤被狗咬了后去打狂犬疫苗，竟然当晚又吃辣火锅又去喝酒？？想当年我是一个月一口咖啡没敢碰！3.当晚两人凌晨回毛晓彤合租房，还把东西碰倒了。室友能乐意？？md最烦合租的时候带对象回来住的，还是大半夜！！？
毛晓彤还是挺甜的。没有深入了解和物质支撑的爱情确实是脆弱的，看完最强烈的感觉还是想要买一套属于自己的房子
重庆人表示女主一口标准的四川口音。
还拍啥电影啊，电视剧爱情大家也看得津津有味
除去创业史，剧情还是挺真实的。毛晓彤孙千真漂亮！只是结局很难如电影那般圆满。
最后哭的稀里哗啦 但是没有甜的感觉了
流水线电影，剧情挺魔幻，ons的感情非要演成真爱故事，女主性格有点作，男主各方面get不到魅力。就分开了挺好，强行he没必要。
3.5吧。前中段的一些点真的挺戳我的，真的有的地方有些感同身受到。中段的一些争吵点也挺细的，可以感受到编剧确实也有深入发掘感受过的。结局强行he有些不适，但是考虑到这是部跨年剧，也可以理解吧。
