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'.

从Wi-Fi 开始的恋爱之我的翻窗男友。玛丽苏果然放之四海皆好使。
比xxx2好多了好吗……虽然有点假，但人家本来就是偶像剧，我是颜控嘿嘿😁，不过西班牙人的思想观真的很自强自爱很独立，也不会一直斤斤计较一大堆，又看了一个无敌难看的之后…
两兄弟夹着女主躺床上我震惊了……btw西班牙小妞电影都这么土吗
这片子拍100分钟都绰绰有余吧，硬拍成136分钟即便有酷炫的无人机视角都很难忍受，超过一个半小时的救护车狂飙逃亡，癫狂的剪辑和摄影，能把人看到在影院里犯晕车。
最终男孩女孩的爱情感染了周围很多人，他们开始相信爱情，即使爱情如自来水中的氯气，也会爱上它。
3.0。正義與忠義之爭，美式港片，但是是邁克爾·貝版大雕電影，貝研發出全新飛天遁地運鏡技術，像極了大雕活塞運動，簡單粗糙粗暴。
看得蛮开心的 结尾甚至回答了本片开始我最大的疑问：为什么富二代的wifi坏掉了不买个新的还要蹭邻居的网→因为就是想要和你搭讪！ I mean这至少强过800部霸道总裁爱上我男女主相遇的理由了吧
还是卖拷贝那一套：逆光，升格，环绕，航拍。这次又加了一些手持和莫名其妙的戏剧性角度。可以说是独步天下的视听奇观了。
还是爆炸贝熟悉的配方 差点以为走进了变形金刚片场
虽然老套又几乎无情节可言，但至少比after好看多了吧，所以给个三星（就是这玛丽苏小说都需要上写作课读文学院的设定真是侮辱了大学文学专业
看这种青春片不能带脑子。ps：女主的肉腿让我印象深刻
宣传里各种翻版五十度灰，完全没看出来，明明很普通的爱情片不知道为什么被自媒体说得那么精彩……
看爽片真爽，无人机镜头玩的真炫。主要集中在事件本身，甚至不给黑人男主和观众思考的时间，直接就开始了，人物情感也是用极少的镜头在事件中交代完毕。
对不起我一直在笑 怎么感情戏写的这么生硬啊哈哈哈哈哈哈虽然男女主很配 女主闺蜜和男主弟弟的cp还更好嗑一点 可能是留白比较多遐想空间很大 全片看下来我只想感叹真是如狼似虎的年纪………
耀西抱着女主看恐怖片，哇塞心动心动
en……纯爱电影也不能出现侮辱智商的剧情！
女主大腿好健硕有点出戏
白瞎男女主颜值
天哪天哪天哪，被预告吸引过来，结果就是说，这是一部和《五十度黑》《之后》一模一样的玛丽苏…偏无脑…一言不合就xxoo的剧…
超长追车戏+“we are family”，速激是吧？JG果然还是演反派比较有魅力。
