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'.

是韩寒的读者，所以确实对韩寒的搞笑方式和故事走向有一定了解。得承认很多人可能接受不了这种剧情，但是我想这是他的自我表达和制度审查之内能平衡的一种状态。作为贺岁档这部影片，展现的荒诞现实对很多观众来说确实不能够接受。但是更魔幻的社会新闻正在现实生活中上演，不是吗。
而且最致命的是犯了一个只会在处女作才会犯的毛病：想讲的太多了——亲情 爱情 城市化 物化 赛车 女性求职 理想与现实……单拿出一个着重讲一下片子就改观很多
我还是比较吃韩寒的幽默的，好多地方都会笑。。只是确实也不太明白后半程的走向为什么要向这种方向进展。而且还是打算放在贺岁档的影片，他应该在艺术与商业之间挣扎了一下，结果两遍都没讨好上。。喜欢韩寒的人应该都不会太喜欢韩寒在结局这一点上突然变得越来越像郭敬明了，虽然可以看出很克制尽量没有过度渲染。。但刘浩存那么可爱你怎么忍心让她没了哥哥又没了自己呢？我可太喜欢刘浩存这种类型的女孩了。。所以也从四星变三星吧。
你可以做一个很好的梦，直到梦醒了。起初以为是个喜剧片，越看越觉得味道不对，就像中年人对这个世界的认识逐渐被现实一层层揭开一样。四十岁人的童话，它不是单纯一种味道的。
突然能理解大年初一看这片会觉得晦气了！😂😅
连着看了两部春节档电影，主角吴京和刘昊然都燃起来了，真的燃。
风云只是借贷风云，金鳞亦是人外有人，原来大家不过都是池中物，大城市里真的没有那盏专为他们亮起的灯
1.全方位的糟糕，差的一塌糊涂，剪辑差，剧作延续《飞驰人生》的剧作框架，这种自我沉浸式青春文学剧本，实在让人难以共情。选角差，男主角和刘昊然的形象不太匹配，皮肤也略显刻意，《一点就到家》的角色相对匹配性较高。3.香港影视音乐影响了一众影人，贾樟柯创作了许多好片，韩寒创作了一对段子。4.都拿郭敬明和韩寒比较，郭敬明的角色你还记得顾里，韩寒的电影，你还记得谁呢？＃评分:5.0/10。
这是目前为止韩寒最好的一部电影、韩寒风格最集大成者，可是也是问题最多的一部。他的青春伤痛文学被影像化、再放到商业电影市场，注定只能共振一小部分人 因为剧情太细微 大部分人都感到理解无力 但也不是说不能看 如果能把整体剧情瘦身一半 也可以当成岩井俊二那类日本电影看 可惜他元素杂糅太多、剧作又长又散乱 就会让人抓不住重点 以至失去耐心… 个人最喜欢结尾那段再回家乡的慢镜头 拍的真美啊～
过年的时候想看的，错过了，朋友看了说要一起讨论，于是终于等到B站上线。看完觉得片子是有一股子浪漫气息在的。跟「雄狮少年」观感有点相近。不喜欢的地方也有，故事后段逻辑不行，不喜欢后期配音，女主台词功底差，演不出这个角色。
还行啊，是不是要多一点情怀去看待，何必较真。
看得出韩寒就喜欢公路和速度，自己玩的开心。

韩寒怎么变成郭敬明了。。刘浩存全程苦瓜脸好想打她
只是世间虽苦难，但也大可不必如此多的悲惨
当把预期放低后，还是很不错的，故事线完整但如此不真实，车祸原来是妹妹啊！相比于前半段的老梗，中程的迷茫和无助更为现实主义。
刘浩存的表演有点做作，和刘昊然感觉不在一个情境中。沈腾离场后整体就掉下来了，一直在让观众落空，桥段老套，韩寒老了。
主角又是玩车的，然后是段子堆砌的散文，偶尔抖个包袱，弄个巧合显得自己很黑色幽默。旁白搞得无病呻吟。哎，韩寒退步了。
在乎的面子，高兴的愿望，欢愉的期待，明明就在那，就像推开门便唾手可得，却始终不知道怎么打开，直到被迫离去。
昊然弟弟和摩托车和浩存妹妹都很好、可是剧本和叙事和节奏好烂，自嗨过头的一个片…
