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'.

令人担忧的发际线……但男女主的眼神真的好迷人
I love the fxxking Metal!!!
在重金属乐队里融入大提琴确实新鲜，而且效果还不错。喜欢那句：让他们跟风去吧，风潮来来往往，我们永垂不朽。ps.为啥帅哥只露了个屁股，我要看正面！正面好吗！
fuck em!
汉特好像张柚，从长相到性格都像。甚至头十分钟就让我爱上这一点也像。
特效太牛逼了，朱一龙演技厉害，看得我哭了好多次
一部剧逻辑清晰连贯是最起码的，可是这部剧就不具备这一点。
让我想到美国中产阶级小孩中二期 的无病呻吟，如果不是为了演员我不会去看的
倒是被陈数感动到了
三人组好可爱！！艾米丽好像我梦想的type
fucker变成flower，就像loser变成lover。
特效做得不错，切入点和格局都略显奇怪，一如过于俗套的救不了妈妈导致怕水的心理阴影桥段，立意拔高靠陈数淋雨演讲，张国立全程严肃立正，作为基建的献礼片也能理解，不过只能说还行吧。
故事套路，特效敷衍，有好几处尴尬到能抠出三室两厅来。朱一龙文戏可以，动作戏不行，他没有动作演员气质完成这些高难度并不让人信服。最让难受的其实是台词套路，现在的台词为意识形态服务，这些人物更像工具，而不是引人思考的人。带来的感动没有片尾关于铁道兵的介绍来得强烈，当然也得益于前2小时的音乐铺垫。
DNA动了，青春燃剧，好喜欢又好好笑，不认为很中二，先看了一遍结尾处有人加入观影，又看了一遍，又燃又好笑，酷酷的人生才是我们想要的！
略显尴尬，故事故作洒脱的矫情。音乐题材，但是也稍显普通。最大的卖点，就是那几位音乐人露脸？哎，实在有点可惜。为了追求小众而变得小气。
作为青春剧，我觉得阔以！三个主角的颜都不错，音乐表现也可。
。。。。。。感觉十万解放军都赶不上一个洪翼舟666
生命至上的中国式营救，虽然为《峰爆》带来了一定的共鸣，但可惜的是作为一部试图用特效作为卖点的灾难片，这部电影在制作上并没能带来媲美好莱坞级的震撼 ，一眼看假又贪图大场面的拙劣特效，成为了电影难掩的诟病。
朱一龙的演技真的可圈可点，实力圈粉。只是徒手攀岩和徒手抓直升机的桥段真的雷点满满。
不太算灾难片吧，选择和温情的地方居多，家国大义的赶脚。
