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'.

ps：这也许会是我看的最后一部蜡笔小新的电影，至少近几年不会再看了。
虽然设定挺老套的，一句话概括就是新神笔马良的故事。
无论生活是多么的残酷，内心也要留一块地方给最初的童心。
继大人帝国之后最佳一作！！！！！满分好评！！！！！
蜡笔小新是过了不管多少年 都是让老阿姨潸然泪下
(7/10)年货虽然不错. 但我还是希望看到大胆的主创. 而不是抓到套路后按部就班.
蜡笔小新终于有蜡笔了。最后的全员呼喊奔走，在全城涂鸦还是有些燃的，三个新角色的分别也有泪点。但我不能接受的是，入侵的罪犯竟然被原谅，“你也是为了王国才会这样做的吧”，日本人对入侵真的是一点反省也没有，先来硬的，不行了又来软的，总之要达成目的。不要在蜡笔小新里做这种事好么
这部配乐真棒啊。最后扯裤子又煽情又搞笑555 奔跑的时候画面太赞了
再次被一部儿童向动画剧场的深度深深折服。绝对称得上蜡笔小新剧场最佳。看得哭了笑，笑了哭。全片给我的感觉是“真实”而字。由于某些原因，英雄瞬间论为罪人而引发的言论暴力，键盘侠肆意挥霍恶意，围观群众事不关己高高挂起，现实世界中我们见了太多。人物的刻画也没有非黑即白，大反派只不过一心想要救自己的国家和人民，肥嘟嘟也经常由于贪婪而犯错误。影片最后引申出，不论是使用高科技平板，还是半截旧旧的蜡笔，媒介不重要，最重要的是自由自在创作的童心，这才是让人性闪光的特质啊。想说的还有太多太多，用片中小新的一句话结个尾：“真是的，大人啊，都没点大人的样子。”
“动手吧！动手吧！大家一起动手吧！来吧 来吧！动手吧！”大家需要齐心协力 而不是内斗。片中展现了人性的丑恶
来自蜡笔小新漫画里某个短篇，原作就很令人印象深刻。
只能勉强凭借情怀再看了 这部里最有魅力的是那个短暂存在的涂鸦女 小新的行为话语越来越套路化了
童真就像涂鸦，慢慢消失在这个充满规矩的大人世界里。
童真就像涂鸦，慢慢消失在这个充满规矩的大人世界里。
好朋友像雪孩子一样融化，呜呜呜，你们大人好不熟成哦！
本片的尴尬，也可能是蜡笔小新整个动画ip发展至今的尴尬，在于故事对成人而言愈发低幼化，让儿童来看，那些成人向的屎尿屁桥段又不合适。虽然也注入了想象力和温情，但团结一致拯救世界的故事走向太模式化，当涂鸦王国设定的新鲜感过去后，就对着吵吵嚷嚷的画面犯困了。
蜡笔用完，小新就从英雄变成了罪恶之源。成人还真的自私又无趣。
穿了两天的内裤莫名很像正南。
想按着姜子牙编剧的头来好好看看这才叫合理培养起来有说服力有哭点的伙伴情
真好啊，把主题定为追寻快乐和自由，还能这么具象化
