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'.

电影故事性强，引人入胜，明知结局一定是励志的，可还是会被过程感动。
为抗美援朝奋斗过的英雄致敬！就电影层面来说，战斗场面很大气，但剧情略显虎头蛇尾，3小时的片长，前中后三部分的分部不够均衡。
大年初一上午场看的，无法预测最终票房如何，但易烊千玺演技值一个影帝，我想不到能把景浩这个角色演的更好的人！看的时候眼泪止不住，太心疼景浩了，看到最后真的会相信努力就有奇迹很治愈
天天鸡汤鸡汤鸡汤，能不能贴近现实贴近大众些？？
叔本华说活着是为了避免痛苦，而不是追求幸福。而有时候痛苦已经无法避免。普通人只能尽人事相信有奇迹。
敬畏历史，尊重历史，希望有更多这样好得电影能够被我们看到。我还会带着家人朋友去看的。
感恩先辈们牺牲自己为我们换来的和平年代。（但我此生无法和4D影厅和解。）
好看的，虽然是从一开始就能知道结局的电影，但是依然很精彩
哎，为什么不能在和妹妹拥抱的那一刻就结束呢。每个人都表演得很好，完成得也工整流畅，但是就是差点意思，可能是因为导演想拍创业苦，又处处手下留情。本来期待看到更多实业的内容和展现主角智商和野心的部分，结果却流于合家欢。
真正好的战争片也同时是反战片，看到编剧兰晓龙瞬间对影片有了不小的期待，也并没有失望。美国士兵讨论战后生活的片段，牺牲战士临死前的恐惧，“没有打不死的英雄”、“有的枪必须开，有的枪可以不开”，战争里真实的人性和人文关怀着墨不少，片长有点考验观众，几场战争详略鲜明会更好
伍万里迟迟不敢下手差点让敌人杀了哥哥，到后来想杀了已经奄奄一息的对方长官被哥哥阻止，失去刚刚认识的好友等一系列的细节处理的挺好
励志感人！有我不是药神的风格，很不错的电影！
我觉得非常一般，可能年纪大了点，不吃爱拼就会赢这一套了，谁都无法阻挡我躺平的步伐哈哈哈。就是说，非常平庸，演员剧情都平庸，看了开头就能猜到剧情走向的电影，实在没必要花钱去看。
我不是药神告诉你有一种病是穷病，奇迹告诉你穷病可以自救。小人物的光芒也是光芒，新年的第一剂的元气鸡汤。
笨小孩也会有晴天。
此类电影的通病，没有讲“奇迹”达成的过程。反而要加额外剧情硬凑时间，追车戏那段真的大可不必。同情边缘人再动人，没有成长的过程，最后获得成就后的煽情就很苍白。
三星半，不知道是现在自己的处境还是怎么。 很多地方很感动。 尾巴收的不好。 坚决抵制感官刺激。

没创过业的觉得成功凭借的是一个睿智看懂商机的个人英雄，创过业的都知道成功无非是有一群有情有义的朋友在咬紧牙关拼命熬
四星半，的确是一个“奇迹”，另一种意义上的“雄狮少年”，残酷暖伤又乐观坚强，体验了世间的恶也感受到人间的善意，这不仅是一个南方打工仔的传奇经历——一如既往的文牧野，许多熟面孔，小人物的集体抗争逆袭，也把生活骨感残酷的一面揭开给人看，为了救妹妹吃尽苦头的穷苦少年令人心疼，幸运的是每个人最后都获得了救赎（或许这就是最好的结局吧），欣慰的是千玺更成熟了，这么复杂的角色hold住一点没问题（比《少年的你》更上层楼）——bug也很多，难以想象假如最后质检不合格或者大boss腹黑不讲理，这一群人的努力不都全打水漂了嘛（再次陷入万劫不复的深渊），结局显然是妥协与为了某种平衡——既抚慰了观众也迎合了市场和主旋律，理想化一切苦难是不现实的，最后感觉这个故事以纪录片的形式呈现或许更合适，真实的力量往往胜过一切。
