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'.

我真是看得太满足了。虽然有些情节略显幼稚和简单，但还是想推荐。太棒了。
但是为什么这片可以让我看我
7/10 印度主旋律“抗英神片”，制作看得出来很下成本，完成度也不错。
同样是拍神剧， 差了人家一万年，手撕鬼子相形之下倒像个忠厚长者了。
像是小时候看的黄飞鸿，家国大义的主题和动作奇观的表现方式有不少的相同点。只是印度味实在太浓了，不是很对胃口。
一直维持前两个小时水平 就勉强能到4星 鉴于我竟然看完了 还是给三星吧
全是套路，没有真心啊这，虽然爽片也不需要什么剧情就是了。。。另外中印的民族主义电影居然是同一时期爆发，也是离谱。
7.2？
印式教育片。所有角色都是纯粹的善与恶，表演和画面都非常非常夸张
在印度，正义为了战胜邪恶，可以多么的不讲科学
这个看看热闹就行了。反正比抗日神剧还要牛的抗英神剧……英国佬又坏又蠢，印度人武功高强人又正派，剧情更不能推敲，只有呵呵了。
概念使人不得不想起<成为约翰马尔科维奇> + <改编剧本>
阿三究竟如何把春晚塞进手撕鬼子里的，一整个春晚啊妈蛋
很《喜劇之王》，一面是演員事業的困境與野心，一面是被意外捲入的黑幫事件，區別是，一個是龍套演員的奮鬥史，一個是過氣巨星的翻身仗。Nicolas Cage、他扮演的Nicolas Cage、他扮演的諸多電影角色，形成了有趣的三重關係，尤其是看到他在電影中自我調侃、自我嘲諷、自我解構，會有種經歷魔幻時刻的真假難辨，可惜，後半部分太類型化了，結局的底也太常規了。PS.《卡里加里博士的小屋》值得被所有人喜歡！PPS.《帕丁頓熊2》也值得被所有人喜歡！
我的评价是，不如战狼二。战狼二只要一个人，这个还要两个
印度版《战狼》，娱乐爽片，浮夸的很，各种，各种花式开挂，印度人都这么自恋这么尬嘛！
这不是印度版的抗日神片吗？不过特效也太好了，两主角也实打实的身手敏捷，剧情没那么雷人的话我就给5星了
太燃了，各种小操作一气呵成，成龙应该好好来学习一下，这才是动作片
我真的一边吐槽一边开心，浮夸是有的，但是其他的该有的也有
时不时给你跳个舞 但是歌曲挺好听的 舞跳的也很有意思 第二方面就是你觉得很离谱吧 但是他有一种美国超级英雄大片的感觉 假也假的很符合剧情 第三就是宝莱坞的特效 没想到已经到了这样一个程度 值得国产电影产业反思！ 8/10分
