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'.

对真正喜欢的人确实是“想陪在你身边一年又一年”，有恋爱经历的人看这个电影太能共情力
还行，算不上优秀，有几场动作戏挺尴尬，打的软绵绵的，特别是女演员。但是比一些网络动作片又优秀很多。比不上怒火重案这些巅峰大制作水准，但是毕竟投资小很多，可以原谅，安志杰还挺帅。至于女主，刚看完我叫赵甲第，这就变成了个女杀手，有点不太适应转变这么快。总的来说，中等偏上，值得鼓励。
喜欢毛晓彤，仅此而已。没有那么多分分合合兜兜转转还能再遇见的人。
国产电影动作片能够拍到这个地步进步很大，而且是没有绝对顶流支持的情况下，剧本比较传统，男主角瞎了还能这么猛槽点不少，不过作为爽片肯定是合格的，女演员颜值在线，打斗很精彩，推荐。
一星给男主，全靠一个人撑着的电影，其他都是烂片标配
还行吧，就是为啥演坏人都要用那种变态的语气？
国产超胆侠，接下来的题材可以搞个聋战，哑战
换演员不换套，就这故事完全可以轮流换演员来演……批量生产不是梦……
光线的电影大多都是MV电影，这个因为演员的原因，质量好了点，但插曲还是特别悦耳，比电影要好。并且最后杨丞琳歌的部分简直可以说是满分MV故事片
本来是来看安志杰，结果全程在看易群先，感觉在模仿小丑女，人物形象分明，动作戏完成度也还行，但是某些角度太像文淇了，辨识度不高啊。。。再加一句，安志杰打得很辛苦啊
动作戏不错，可一个瞎子能打趴十个武装人员我只能理解为科幻片
跨年夜看完《以年为单位的恋爱》，毒舌君感到最为“震惊”的细节是——毛晓彤扮演那个什么酒店的客户经理，看起来也工作没几年的样子吧，居然都开始在北京看房准备买房了，后来跟杨玏扮演的男朋友闹掰了就放弃了在北京买房的想法，然后回老家重庆反手就给她妈买了一套宽敞的江景房，这……只想问一句，这酒店还缺客户经理吗？毒舌君愿意从头学起啊，哈哈哈！
三星以示鼓励，剧情不怎么通，细节bug非常多，动作设计比一般网大好很多，但不如院线
剧情很俗套，但毫不狗血，有多处很有共鸣。毛晓彤进步太太太大了，杨玏都有点接不住她的戏。有些电影在艺术成就上不高，但可以看到自己。
面对爱情 ，电影难得的地方在于并没有敷衍了事，而是试图诠释男女在感情中如何去爱，但遗憾的是不论是过犹不及的煽情，还是草草收场的结局，都可见电影并无力真正去构建属于自己的内核，整体看来这不过是一场特供跨年的应景之作。
网大拍成这个效果还是值得一看的。
这两个人太没CP感了！包文婧给人的感觉就是包贝尔完全配不上她，但是她为啥没出现在演员表上？？？PS：你知道一个酒店前厅经理一个月多少钱吗？毛晓彤的这个职业设定太离谱了
女主看着脸生，但是好评……希望男女主以后都能拿到更像样的剧本orz
啊！养鱼cp还是这么好嗑~不管单身与否，我觉得里面都能看到过往恋情的影子。“我需要你的时候你在，这才是我要的安全感”，如果大家都能敞开心扉面对彼此，或许这个世界上难过的人又会少一些吧。生活总是会有真实的残酷，但我们依旧有很多机会可以选择达到怎样的终点，希望每个人都有以一辈子为单位的恋爱。
我一直认为，新年第一天总该选一部合适的电影为这一年定下个好的基调。整部电影就像一场倍速恋爱的图鉴，从烟火璀璨的一夜迸发出长达一年的恋爱关系，还原出男女双方在感情关系中躲不开的以原生家庭为源头、以工作加班工资为帮凶的陷阱流沙。霓虹灯冲洗下的都市爱情，就像从宇宙中俯瞰寻找一条河，总是会因为云遮雾罩暂时丢失了踪影，而能带回方向感的，除了来自对方和各自家庭的支持和信任之外，就是爱。而电影也将落脚点定在了更为踏实的自爱上，陆鹿珊最终意识到安全感应该是发自内心的东西，就像房子有了人就变成了家。新年快乐。
