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'.

或许看这样的电影，除了看脸，再还就是看看拉丁美洲大陆人民的风情。
。生活事业都不如意的硬汉警察男主，网恋对象也与他失去了联络，他驱车千里去找她，发现原来她是一个二十几岁年轻男子的他，该怎么办呢，... 展开
片尾曲听着听着就要哭了，在众多同影中真的属于独树一帜了🤧 低于预期而又高于预期。
“你走进了我孤独的私人荒漠，而我给了你一片爱的绿洲”，虽然无关结局，终究是意难平
也许十年后会更喜欢一点吧。
我和我的赞永远在等你！
很私人的叙事。最后蛮温暖的。真正的爱需要触及对方的内心，性别、外在的一切都只是躯壳。
🎭演员表现：
现在看这种会觉得蛮无语的 你的一生我只借一晚 我的未来在首都
6.5/10，喜欢这个故事的情调（非电影评论）
如果把见面前的多拍一些，这样后边的剧情我们就能带入情绪了，现在就是莫名其妙。
以为第一部2022top可以出现，好像还是少点什么，但是很喜欢前面对警官生活的描写，最后抚摸头发真苏，私心希望要是he就好了。
虽然无中生有了一出（只存在于台词中的）男主暴力视频，但是好男人男主除了皱着眉头对男二说了两次“你骗了我”根本没有任何暴力倾向，那这片子前一个小时在拍啥啊？男二和教士，男主和亲妹妹，男二和姐妹，这片子有这么多能讲的东西，把前半截浪费的篇幅匀一些给赶场样的后半段不好吗？开场半个小时打片头到底是谁起的坏头，导演是不是利用职务之便偷看了滨口龙介的样片？
又臭又长。很多情节都与主线没有太大关系，完全可以几句话几个镜头一带而过的。总体来讲就是网恋直男被“人妖”男欺骗寻找自我正视自我的故事。整体头重脚轻，剧情后段的情感冲突与对话交流过于仓促不够深入。但是不妨碍Sara很美，男主挺帅，插曲total eclipse of the heart太好听。爱都爱了，做也做了，本以为Daniel最后一刻会把Sara拉下长途车的，可惜结局太现实残忍，隔着屏幕都不愿给恋爱脑们一丁点爱情憧憬。
谢谢 让我在两个半小时内明白了什么叫如芒刺背如坐针毡如鲠在喉 天上一天电影院一年
喜欢动物和自然风光，这部电影给全了！很温暖的故事，跌宕起伏的情节也挺抓人的…
镜头大体不错，但切换生硬。
满足了我对直男被掰弯的幻想；小受演技好棒 被抛下后独自走回家那段从灯光到风到场景 绝了
安东尼奥惊鸿一瞥，想必是不小。巴西那么开放吗在这种小地方的车站公然拥吻，怕不是在玩火。故事看得很舒服，人物塑造的也讨喜。
我说怎么对男主那么有感觉呢，原来我一直都把他看成了黎耀辉。而且很喜欢这个身材是怎么回事，大概是我真的老了。
