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'.

真心觉得比花好几亿的作品用心多了，这不就是观众想要的么
事实证明三件事：1宋晓峰只能演个配角天天彩，2崔志佳真的有东西，3东北赵家班只能在电影里肖分
有笑点有泪点，前中期处理的都不错，后期剧情方面有点拉垮。没有刻意的去煽情，而是情绪刚要出来的时候咔给你一下子让你笑，这点我不知道处理的好不好，但我挺喜欢。
很让人割裂的观影感受。一方面有关于逃兵、俘虏、军令的现实思考和死亡、匿名化、杀戮、虚无的残酷写照；另一方面整部影片又被导演极其个人的表达欲望（黑白、顺序、蒙太奇、方言）弄得晦涩难明支离破碎。只能说这样的战争视角总比那些每一发子弹都能消灭敌人、每个人面对死亡都无所畏惧、每次任务都能圆满完成的叙事更值得鼓励吧
你搁这烧水呢奥！师徒四人上西天！哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈啊哈！！！
当长篇小品看的，隔离一个多月心情肯定是不好了，放低期望，放低笑点，超过期待
2.6 学院迎合主流主旋律叙事，能看出有美学和类型技术上的追求，但还是很糟糕，尽管仍好于《长津湖》系列。
小崔还是有想法的，一丢丢的英式的黑色幽默，值得鼓励
爹还没那啥就定好了日子？直接呼应了那个去饭店订桌，服务员问红事白事。
东北电影常常因为真的很东北而分数低，这部不一样，没有太东北，因为后面拔高垮了
本来觉得中间除了二手玫瑰的高潮其他有点无聊，结果后半段太逗了，结尾小反转还挺精彩！哈哈哈哈哈～
开头的讨债那段词写得好。真的好好笑哈哈哈。故事和笑点是好的。电影的节奏有点生疏。给东北办葬礼，这个象征可以的。唉 导演功力还是有限，很好的点子。
开头第一镜长镜头蛮好的，感觉主创试图用长镜头摄影、灰蒙的调色与专注个体叙事的理念去制作一部不同于宏大主旋律叙事的独特战争片。表现了一些战争的残酷和战场的混乱。林中的几个镜头倒有些超现实的意味。然而很遗憾，在最终战打响之前又开始搞高呼口号那一套腐朽陈旧的恶心东西，一下子让前面的努力瞬间破功。影片中的敌我双方都是人，也都有兄弟。但对于敌方的描写除了开篇的“鞭尸者”有所点滴着墨，后面便沦为符号。结尾一战我方人员倒下个个都有兄弟赶来支援或陪伴，敌方人员倒下就“享受”不到这种待遇了。唯一的女性角色旁若无人地游走于敌我之间，轻松地与主角一行多次会合，也很无语。单枪匹马的伤员如何突破重重关卡成功完成任务也没交代。如果这就算对“主旋律”的突破，那还差得远呢。两星半
做喜剧能让人笑出来就行hhh 有些煽情有点冗余，好好再琢磨下剧本，我愿意看爱笑会议室的演员演戏
当年的爱笑兄弟 情怀三分吧 就看个爱笑情怀
一般般，受限制于审核，有点加长小品的感觉，最后搞个反转却尴尬到死的结局。拆成一段一段来看不错。
仿照西虹市的套路，并没有那么多的炸笑点。并且孙越梁龙的乱入都显得有点突兀。
整的还行
没懂！他全然不知他爸在哪儿办葬礼吗？在去自己爸爸葬礼的路上是睡着了吗？到底是什么事能让刀爷愧疚成这个样子故事是不是不够？
【D】不愧是国产学院派的作品，低成本带来的低劣制作真是让人难以忍受。“主旋律美学风格探索”实质便是后期狂降饱和度，让色彩以劣质山水画的模样去提升他们自以为的格调（是我这辈子最厌恶丁达尔效应的86分钟）。而当摄影机承载着更多的视点时，调度就只剩一团乱麻，枪声与死亡是如此随便，毫无情绪起伏的可能。而题材上的创新，也只是刨去角色的存在，让对不上口型的后期配音与莫名其妙的超现实段落彻底毁灭观众代入的可能，也无任何深度可言，反倒很适合给主创们做自我感动式的阅读理解题。
