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'.

你有一个收养的傻儿子，你有一条捡来的傻狗，你在这个末世里快不行了……但三个角色仍然能讲一个温馨感人的故事。
汤姆汉克斯一生致力于让各种智商线上的美国人，都能不耗费脑细胞的理解他上演的每一个故事。并且极力在最低道德水平线以上高高跃起，以免不小心触到任何可能存在的底。真是辛苦惨了。
我哭很惨但不影响我觉得不行。
记得去年有个新闻， 汤姆·汉克斯在澳大利亚拍电影时染上了新冠病毒，想来就是这部。而且这部电影还非常适合这瘟疫蔓延的时代
疲惫生活中有过英雄梦想又怎样，终归还是有漫长的疲惫生活。但也幸好还有过英雄梦想。
之前看预告片三句话就被普通话配音尬出来了（我母语尴尬症太严重了），出了粤语版才看。也不是我菜……不打分了，买飞支持下……
三星半。本以为只是管中窥豹的城市打工族，没想到在后半段竟成了最动人的变奏。要是前面能早点来到这个立意就好了。不喜欢是每个关键节点都塞满了编剧逼你燃的技巧，过于套路
故事层面，典型的男性电影，少年成长，热血励志。女性亲情皆为副线，是温情的一个出口。友情占据更大篇幅，少年历经风霜成材，中年不得志授业以翻身，两个年龄层的“咸鱼”们，一起我命由我不由天。非一般国漫的燃，满分配乐，让其超越燃点，直上云霄。非常适合男孩看，也明显是拍给各年龄层男性看的电影。但这并非不适合女性看的电影。
有金刚狼和小栗旬，很燃的，选到舞狮这个题材真是好命。
很好看，对广州的描绘非常细致。影片中出现的云，我手机里有同款！！！！本来只准备打四星但我身边居然有人跟风认为导演夹带私货（他看都没看过就看网上说的就这么认为了），所以我要打五星，气死这些蠢货。
3.5星，前面的剧情差点意思，甚至可以抠出一个三室一厅，可以看到很多星爷电影的影子：主角的装扮、小人物、梦想的坚持、咸鱼精神等等，人物的皮肤质感细节表现都挺一般的，仿佛回到了十多年前的水平。但是中远景的风景还是说得过去的，最后二十分钟的决斗很燃，结尾的处理很精炼（不过好像《飞驰人生》、《八佰》都用过），有梦想就有希望。作为大战就在我家对面的荔湾湖公园，颇有感触。 / 2021.12.7 虹桥艺术中心
看这个电影你不需要任何准备 走进电影院开始一场沉浸式体验就可以 前面有些剧情和人物对白有点尬 但瑕不掩瑜 虽然是逆袭 但确实会被燃到 关键是舞狮的场面 动作 确实没得挑 行云流水 太绝了
弘扬传统，科普舞狮，加分。场景写实，很中国城乡结合部，采风的确下了一番功夫。故事俗不可耐，但失意中年与底层混子的逐梦，也可称热血。令人遗憾的便是面部建模，宽眼距加吊眼角，令人出戏，连后排的孩子见到阿猫也惊呼：“这人怎么没眼睛呀！”呔，因此而引发热议，致使大众无法聚焦于电影的艺术价值，埋没了其他主创人员的工作成果，不可谓不遗憾。
虽然是套路化 但是真真实实的感动了 其实模仿了星爷的很多东西 但你很难不共鸣 2021年了 我们还是愿意相信李白 相信诗的 滚烫过的孩子仍然爱火
吐槽一句，这种科幻公路片难道不比《无依之地》看着舒服？
And I knew if I had my chance
有些套路，但也的确接近现实。梦想和城市都不是一天筑就的，更不只属于有机会居住其中的人。
要有希望啊～～～～～～～

对比于其他竞赛式励志电影，这部片有所不同的是故事前中期一直压抑着舞狮竞赛的戏份，切磋、预选赛都是省略带过，不把舞狮作为商业元素来展示，叙事的重心始终放在阿娟几人逐梦舞狮圈和生活的麻烦之间的摇摆，每当他们的燃起一点热血向上的苗头，外部总会很“适时”地打破他们的梦想，现实总在告诉他们追逐梦想、突破颓废有多么艰难，也正是现实的种种困顿让影片不断积累能量在最后的舞狮比赛上一次性释放。以商业逻辑来说，他们的获胜是可以预见，但正是有前期不断积累的能量，所以这可预见的结果依然会感人，看似俗套的煽情手法还是能奏效。印象最深的场景是阿娟在天台舞完狮，太阳出来，这时一个全景，阿娟站在天台上，前面是一栋更比一栋高的都市钢铁丛林，如同一座座舞狮桩。舞狮场上也许能越上擎天柱，而都市的摩天高楼是更高的桩，更难越过的山。
