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'.

纪录片不像纪录片 电影不像电影，看的很乏味。
在平台找免费电影看 看到这一部 和现在的上海 挺应景 应该算是好电影 因为确实被打动了 不管是小人物还是大人物 关键还是在人
我从来没有对我们的“真实事件”改编电影抱有希望过。
二星半，这个题材本身发挥受限，影像呈现显得刻意煽情
剧本太仓促了，薛导这品控不过关。不过这种题材这样也就行，勉强及格吧。
看哭了，人间自有真情在呀，还有就是贾玲传递出的减肥不重要，身体健康快乐才重要啊
这个导演真的太一般了，演员阵容都没有问题 题材也没问题，想表达的角度也挺好，就是那些再普通不过的人们的人生在大灾面前闪闪发光的一刻。就是这个导演怎么能把这样一些好的食材炒出这么一锅食之无味的菜呢？
剧情太单薄了… 硬要几个故事凑在一起… 但很喜欢最后的一句珍惜当下！
这两天在上海暴发疫情，我也没能幸免，居家隔离正好看到这部电影，虽然现在的Omicron已经危害不大了，但这电影拍的是最初武汉疫情，把当时残酷拍的过于美好了。。
最喜欢吴老师和欢喜哥的线。但有些剧情真的很怪，感觉更适合去演舞台剧。结尾的说教也很尬，我可能是逆鳞吧。
明明没有故意煽情，但就是很好哭，在电影院一会笑一会哭的。几个小人物特别是勇哥家里的布景好真啊。刘亚兰说自己全职在家被女儿看不起那段真的是……老年爱情线也很甜。朱一龙和贾玲的戏出来的时候，听到隔壁一大哥说“磕到了”笑死！几个消杀的场面真的很燃，想到这是真实的更加震撼和感动。周冬雨演的小护士牺牲那会儿给我哭啥了，遗照还是长发……“不能饿着咱妹妹”……美中不足是最后的最后小朋友唱歌那段，表情真的太浮夸了。希望不要再让我看到这种小孩装大人表情浮夸的表演，尴尬的抠出故宫。最后的最后，叶老师T.T呜呜呜为什么不能和武哥快乐的在一起呜呜呜
只喜欢结尾
二老这段是让我有点眼眶蠢蠢欲动的，尤其是求婚的时候。
如果前面只能用尚可，靠着演员本身的魅力把几条线穿插的故事展现的不突兀，那么从贾玲取周冬雨的照片知道小护士为了抗击疫情牺牲，贾玲的表演普通但又贴近我们正常人的状态直接点燃了这场疫情背后的伤痛。电影的质量也被温情拖进了残酷的氛围拉高，相比于《中国医生》更胜一筹。
被老人那对儿感动到了，如果中国医生在讲医生，那么这个就是在讲普通人 ，虽然很多细节经不起推敲，也有刻意煽情的部分，两星，再多一星给奶奶和爷爷的故事
感动的是真实的原型及事件，尤其是疫情仍旧肆虐的今天，看此片代入感很强。
片子过度煽情的地方太多了，旁边有女生哭得稀里哗啦，铁石心肠的我只是眼眶热了热，而且是在放不煽情的段落时。
朱一龙温文尔雅音乐老师很合适，但剧情未免太瞎扯，每段故事都挺异想天开
如果前面只能用尚可，靠着演员本身的魅力把几条线穿插的故事展现的不突兀，那么从贾玲取周冬雨的照片知道小护士为了抗击疫情牺牲，贾玲的表演普通但又贴近我们正常人的状态直接点燃了这场疫情背后的伤痛。电影的质量也被温情拖进了残酷的氛围拉高，相比于《中国医生》更胜一筹。
转场和故事衔接还可以，导演还是有点想法在里面的，但是编剧换了吧，没有爱情就拍不了电影了么？编剧恋爱脑实锤了，尬得我只想暴击快进键！但凡不是有中国医生和那年跨年看得地球最后一晚，我都给不到两分这么高
