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'.

主管韩智敏暗恋多年的好友金英光却即将结婚，结局和在酒店多次相亲失败的李阵郁跨年
看这个真的是浪费时间。看来韩国人这一年过得实在不舒心（不过全世界应该都是这样了），连年末的全明星拼盘电影都做得这么无聊了，可能是对以前那种没心没肺的喜剧套路也感到实在无力了吧。李东旭那条故事线最无语，什么朝鲜时代的设定…姜河那什么时候可以不要再演这种又怂又惨的角色…
很轻松就看完了对我来说就算爽片了，全片没有一个坏人（除了一个想挖角的金理事）全是温柔可爱憧憬爱情的善良的hg人，比起动不动就批判起社会黑暗的韩国电影来说，这就是一部明星云集的贺岁片，姜河那和允儿cp感十足，之前也有过一部救援逃难片相似的配方，阿姨叔叔那段我居然动心了阿姨演的太好了少女感十足，女主和男闺蜜的故事有点遗憾，还以为又是一个李大仁呢，强行安排了周六相亲男有点无语，社长和清洁工剧情最匪夷所思，怎么就爱上了，这样直接好吗，果然是不知廉耻，新年看挺有氛围感，衷心希望以后每年都可以开开心心Happynewyear!
虽然合家欢不过有点一般
全都是叫的上来的名演员，故事很散，就贺岁吧。
很有创意的一个对于“灵魂伴侣”的探究，怎样的组合才能走到最后：势均力敌，趣味相投 VS 截然不同，冲突很多，却能够相互更加包容。好像没有必要去考究，因为无论怎样的组合，都是需要去经营，只是与不同的人 会有不同的相处模式。
喜欢叫醒服务和自杀男孩这条线，林允儿出场真的好美，天台对话好可爱，姜河那在这里就是来颜艺的吧。另外一条十五年朋友的故事真的看的好迷茫，电梯里的真心话时间，看到了情书明信片又假装不知的你，到那一刻才释怀吧。弟弟好帅，天桥表白还挺浪漫，专属高中生的中二环节了～合家欢电影，无功无过，但是也能看。
一年至少需要一部这样的爆米花电影来增加点生活的甜度。以及，光洙戏份太少了！！
吴孟达达叔参演的大话西游网大，戏份还不少，片中有一段特别告别的闪回。男女主不惹人厌，尤其是女主，还是非常俏皮可爱的，男主相对弱一些，可惜剧本还是太同人太凑合了
贺岁电影无疑………李栋旭也太容易被吸引了+允儿戏份也太太太太太少了
(片中的朋友们聚会时的感觉真好, 我也要加油啦, 向着拥有这样的一群朋友们的方向飞奔而去吧
其实整体还不错，很美好，但太过理想化就显得刻意了。韩智敏yyds。谁跳楼看见林允儿不犹豫？还有都是一对一对的，为啥光洙和男人😂
虽然，剧本老套，但是有点过年的味道，虽然是公历年。
爱情就是要带点蒙汗药，骗自己的喜剧总是爱啊
贺岁电影无疑………李栋旭也太容易被吸引了+允儿戏份也太太太太太少了
因为应景所以+*
虽然老套 但节日气氛下 这种电影确实会是大部分人的选择
今天拿回了手机看完这个才觉得真的从2021来到2022😭明天有动力继续跟工作死磕然后过年咯
觉得还不错。影片讨论灵魂伴侣。是，和不同的人组合有不同的优劣势，也许并不能找到最优解，以此得出灵魂伴侣不一定存在，也大概率没有唯一性。但这种论证方式无懈可击吗？其实爱情中相处的质量，更多取决于双方的品行和能力，两个品行和能力不错的人，大概率会相处得不错，边界感把握好了，即使有问题可能也能求同存异，但灵魂伴侣更重要的是灵魂感吧，灵魂的归宿在哪里，只有灵魂知道。
很无聊，也就姜河那演的那个角色有点意思，其他人的故事一般演技也一般，找那么多有名的演员结果就这种垃圾剧本，如果放院线的话只能说是想圈钱。
