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'.

也许需要看了小说再回来重温。音乐真的很棒。
主角这是凤凰女的节奏？在众多变种人中鹤立鸡群？感觉再拍下去真的就成X战警了。
还真是pedophilia，有些镜头确实有点不适，流星倒是进步很多
节奏是真慢，我还竟然看完了，最后阿文致命一击，虽出其不意，也合乎情理。有匪君子，如切如磋，如琢如磨，瑟兮涧兮，赫兮咺兮。刚好今天看了嵇康为吕安仗义相助，却成了广陵散从此绝矣的历史。一点政治不会，随时都是待宰羔羊
以为有多大的悬念，结果还真就是平平无奇的萝莉控。村长演技加分，丝丝演技扣分。
还是老问题，前面铺垫太长了，然后结尾开始虐菜一样，有些爽，但又不够好
2022.7.27 因为一直期待着攒了好久终于看…就…怎么讲…中文找个配音就那么难么 非要自己说…剧情 emmm 期待越大失望越大 太零散了…因为二硕&多美&徐恩秀 给三星吧 硬给的…第三部拜托请好好拍&好好找配音&好好串剧情…
对丝丝也刮目相看，突然能GET到她的演技和魅力。
依旧是爆米花无脑爽片。要剧情没剧情，还整那么多剧情线，女主牛逼死了，一个无辜眼神杀人于无形。里面的人一个比一个爱装逼，一个比一个菜。不过看着图一乐还可以。
这部电影其实节奏挺慢的，有些地方也可以说是拖沓，但我恰好在深夜里观看，能静下心来看完。
谁能想到那个演超级战队的演员，可塑性可以这么强。
跳出电影，假如男主是一个猥琐男，我还能代入他们之间的情愫以及羁绊吗？我想我不能。阿文真的对更纱没有任何企图吗？一个如此信任他的小女孩，可以说是任他摆布，他为何好像一点都不“见色起意”，简直不像一个正常的男人。
略显平淡，四个韩国人的中国话真让人别扭啊。
三个在童年遭遇不幸，永远也长不大的孩子。擦番茄酱的动作和眼神，文确实@恋@童，只是还没进行下一步。（演更纱的小朋友估计不用到成年就能拿影后了）
原本是冲着流星的床戏去看的，没想到有点出乎我意料的好。
韩国版超能力者 那几个韩国人就别装中国人说话了吧听的好难受啊明明说的是中国话我这个中国人都听不懂啊啊啊啊啊 打架也要戴口罩这是对中国人有什么误解吗。。来看金多美的结果就最后出来客串一下解说吗？？？打斗比第一部还开挂装比好几倍
整个调度比怒还退步不说，一看编剧也是李相日啊，甚至怀疑他有没有好好读小说……改编剧本需要对原作合理取舍，这个故事也很需要顺向时间线。至于表演，都很卖力，也很吃力。
后面连续蹩脚中文暴击
镜头挺细腻的 然而还是看了个不明所以 横滨流星感觉还是演安静的美少年比较好
我们看到的真相是那么有限，更要珍惜当下的爱意与温度。
