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'.

豆瓣评分这么差吗，我看还行啊，脱离了一般灾难片的套路，喜剧效果拉满，确实特效不太行，而且没有灾难片那么惊悚，也没有升华的高度，可能以喜剧片为主会好一些吧
后面过分了。扣分！还有，另一个男孩是怎样死的？？
这种片子对韩国来说没啥难度，工业化流水下的操作基本比较稳。想在灾难片里面加喜剧效果得讲究节奏，危机发生之前的节奏还挺好的，发生以后的搞笑部分就比较尬了，冲淡了应有的紧张感，搞笑也过于刻意。救援还是一如既往的废柴，自救过程中想加人物弧光是常规，但是都浅尝辄止不痛不痒。最后的刻意煽情可太败笔了，为了盖盖子牺牲一人......里面的不怕憋死？结尾收的非常突兀，莫名画风变成大团圆的HE，高开低走的一部。
故事创新程度四颗星，虎门销烟这部分电影好像挺少的，如果不是我阅片量较少的话
矫情归矫情，煽情归煽情，救援队是扮演饭桶的吗？
韩国最会开车的男人是谁，李光洙啊！难道是我？
30分钟终于开始了，然后突然搞笑，1小时突然开始弱智，结束突然出现天助。韩影的警察一如既往的废。。
跟《摩天楼》几乎是完全对应的，一个在天上一个在地下。叙事模式太像了。只是这部水平完全没有《摩天楼》高。故作幽默的段落很尴尬……
前戏太长！都要以为是放错片子的时候的第想34分钟，灾难才出现…以为是个家庭伦理戏了呢…
个人评分7分（主观影评，不喜勿喷）
四分 挺好看的，虽然是虚构 但是很细腻，一场灾难改变了所有人
灾难片，人物塑造，挺脸谱化的，情节设计，也挺一般的。
前有埋在隧道里，后有埋再楼里，韩国电影隧道和地陷，不同导演，共同的理念，看来韩国人们内心恐惧被活埋，从而拍了这一些灾难电影。。不过，这部的紧张程度没有隧道好，
演员真的不能参加太多综艺，一筐猪出现就想笑
喜剧灾难，现实是小韩房价太高，首尔11年，就只能买个豆腐渣工程。拍出来就是天坑地陷，青年人蜗居在车，吃叫花鸡，在天愿作比翼鸟，凤凰台上凤凰游。望着对岸的喜马拉雅烟火。丧事喜办，都挺好。车叔，老金外加李光洙真的是小品搭子。懂礼貌的小孩太可爱。
跟最近的禁毒热点蛮贴合的，爱国是每一个人刻进骨子里的信仰，也是每一个人的行为准则
我爆笑 虽然漏洞很多 有些漏洞简直不能忍 但是好笑是真的 最不能忍的就是下雨量注满整个洞四五百米我是真不信 公共安全部门的人也都是脑瘫 把旁边的楼推下去就想让洞里的人死的彻底一点 发现没全死 就坐等都被淹死 结果竟然都自己上来了 这救助水平要是敢放在中国 呵呵
这警察和消防过于废物
剧情太奇幻，得有多少水才能填满一个无底的天坑呢？
把课长老婆的镜头换给恩珠，就足以拿到我的四星了。
