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'.

😭😭😭三个小时电影，才看到半小时就开始哭，宋时轮动员大家奔赴朝鲜的那段，bgm太燃了，看着志愿军身后的“一定要解放台湾”，莫名心酸😭😭😭
这个剧本实在太精彩了！从一开始就充满各种戏剧冲突，从写剧本中去查案，又从查案中不断改写剧本，而真相却在电影拍出来之后才出现，而出现后却又无法拍这个真相！各种隐喻和结合现实的借意吐槽太神了！那是南京啊！！灭火人！！虽然我拍烂片但我是个艺术家！把好多业界不能说的东西，现实不能聊的事情，全部借意说出来了，好解气啊！！！！
即使转战大银幕，团队仍然以《万万没想到》时期那种剪辑风格沾沾自喜，很下头。
把这么悲壮的题材，用最商业的手法，最低劣的特效，包装成了一个糊了的大蛋糕，加塑料大桶饮料，去糊弄那些一年就春节档看一回电影的普通观众。最让人可耻的是，这些人不是不能拍出真正深沉的好东西！而是他们不想！因为没有市场，这才是最让人想他妈骂街的地方。
镜头剪辑细碎，你不知道这是多线叙事还是单线，突然插入的很多镜头跟主线剧情毫无关系。
虽然有些不如人意的地方。但就凭这个题材。他就值五星
整个故事叙事线拉的太长，前因后果没必要交代得那么清楚。太讲求画面的美感，画面的饱和度高得吓人，颜色艳得出奇，感觉缺少一点纪实感，缺少了影片的纪实感，也缺少了人物的纪实感，对英雄人物的歌颂还是过多了点。既然是史诗片，那还是得要点纪实感的。电脑特效真的太出戏了，还不如一些游戏的cg，可以学习一下《铁雨》投核弹的cg部分。庄内cqb 那场戏节奏不错，但是仿佛在看复仇者联盟
很棒的片子，不尽表演和剧本优秀，而且还把解读交给观众，导演的处女作就这么厉害。
人物，从正派到反派，全都是脸谱化的、功能性的。北极熊团的boss，全程一副我不知道自己是谁、我不知道自己在哪里、我不知道自己该干什么的表情。四字版伍万里一眼看去就是个（20）00后时代少年，像是来参加沉浸式主题教育的。主人公依然对战争不会产生一丝质疑。战争也依然不会对主人公的心理健康产生一丝影响。特效塑料感极强，部分大场景，真实感还不如《冰雪奇缘》。情节稀碎，主要靠铺得满满的爆炸音效和背景音乐吸引注意力。没想到国内战争片的天花板居然是拍喜剧出身的冯小刚导演。《集结号》和《芳华》虽然由于可以理解的原因存在这样那样的暧昧和局限，起码塑造的主人公都是有血有肉真实可感的，具有一定的人性深度。陈凯歌导演不该是这个水平，希望他能拿出写《少年凯歌》的真诚来拍战争片，以更好地铭记历史、缅怀先烈。
挺好，前2/3很惊喜，文戏武戏都到位
历史的叙事从来都掌握在权利者的嘴里，但就有一些艺术家以螳臂当车之势守卫真善美，他们的勇敢和智慧谱写成篇章永流传
作为剧本杀电影来说观感真的很差，东拼西凑的故事和故作姿态的表演，呈现出来是完全疏离的气息，就连最近世界观架空和置景虚幻廉价的《杀手》都更让观众觉得真实和自在。但就是这么一个支离破碎的非电影最后竟然还能被捏到了一起去，且凭借着大胆的讽刺力度让观众得以共情。政商娱三位一体的全面打击，一种直面黑暗的鲜血淋漓，结尾追光的艺术家打着游击只为真相已经很是感动，没想到还能更有希望，那一瞬间起了鸡皮疙瘩。。
人物动机莫名其妙，开头剪得乱七八糟，认真写人物前史很费劲吗？比十二怒汉少一半人怎么就这么难剪呢？电影虽然是视听艺术，但是不知怎么回事这片子有一股烟弹味、屁味、脚味混合味，主创团队太幼稚了，尤其是自以为深沉的部分，幼稚得像猿猴互相掏蛋以证信任。
本以为是个大佬崛起的伪纪录片，原来是个悬疑推理片啊
话剧电影再添一员，不过有一说一这样兼顾社会性和诡计的讨巧剧本真不多。
制作水准肯定是有的，但是我觉得真的不需要这么多的大范围移动的镜头。有的情节全都是大范围移动的镜头连屏幕内容都看不出来是什么。本来电影就只有24帧，而且我本人对帧率也不算敏感，但是镜头又卡又难受。看三小时的电影不累，但是看这个真的很累。
有这么一群人，他们不是一寸也没挪动过，却是生生克制住了摇晃，守住了自己内心的“阵地”。
整体三星半的片子，虽时长三小时，好在影片节奏控制得比较不错👌🏻（舅公也参加过抗美援朝战争，腿上还留着子弹壳…🌟感谢最可爱的人们）
上一次看到这么美的战争片 哦没有上一次😭😭😭😭😭谢谢英雄们 谢谢这部电影
打两下歇会咱唠唠嗑？/俩小时了才开始长津湖，我都不记得前面干了啥，你要搞纪录片就干脆更现实主义一点，就这情节你拍仨小时？棉衣、高地塔、岸英、冻死烈士细节蛮多不刻画，炮弹、血腥、中美条件对比跟不要钱似的疯狂往里塞。撤退时紧张兮兮的，敌人到脸上了，过去敬个礼？/致敬烈士，但不意味着对此类电影无限包容。
