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'.

回看2020，也是未来十年最好的一年。马特达蒙干啥了？为什么要内涵封杀他？
宗教味道真的浓，同样的情节，中外拍出来，主题不同
深爱的人身上 一定有一部分
不喜欢这样故事的内核：真实生活中真的会有人来拯救你吗，扪心自问。披着外皮的玛丽苏小说罢了。除了毒害女孩从小到大的思想没有别的好处。
能当贺岁喜剧看的伪纪录片。The era of predictable unpredictability is not going away.
梗太老 太牵强 演技太弱了 比2020版差远了
先说观后感吧..片长两个多小时，整体感觉很唯美，把爱情里的宽容和真正爱一个人就是为对方义无反顾体现的淋漓尽致.可以说是超脱了世俗大多数的爱情，但看完以后会觉得人间也会有这样的爱同样也会有这样的痛吧.包含了很多因素，背弃背叛伤害信任重拾信仰以及兼爱他人..女主可能身体脏了，灵魂也是破碎的，但在最后都圆满了，我不懂评分为什么可以这么低，至少可以打四星半，另外的半颗星给我自己对这部片子的喜爱吧，好久没看到这么出色的爱情片了.
爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈。疫情下离婚攀升的新闻刚看完，再看这部，真的会被治愈到，一个精神小伙用无条件的爱去爱一个众人皆弃的妓女，娶她为妻，那是只出现在圣经里的盟约之美。希望神只让真正看重婚姻的人去结婚。
女主又当又立，以为老实人好欺负是吧！少给我来这套，彻头彻尾的传教电影。也不要以为男主就怎么好，生活中不可能有这样的大冤种……恋爱中的理解和原谅，也不是通过这样的方式来体现的。
为这样的爱情感动，男主给女主的尊重和爱让人羡慕
这个系列我都感觉可以无穷拍下去了~~~每年都能带来各种令人魔幻的内容啊~~把去年疫情的内容放到今年来完全可以无缝对接，这部分以外，比较有意思的就是两党的斗争，如果说去年是BLM造成的麻烦的话，今年占领国会山事件代表着大城市和乡村的彻底决裂。红脖子的戏码还真不错的~~PS： 鱿鱼游戏这戏是还行，但能风靡到如今的程度也是完全理解不能呢~~~
我就是想不明白美国人为啥懒到要把t及d音省略？
主创也很愤怒，却克制，喜剧效果比Don’t look up更出彩。影视作品是展现一个国家意识形态的播种机。
经典台词“是痛苦让我们走到此刻”。电影插曲，主题曲、片尾曲非常棒！
同Don't look up恰好构成互文。
如果因为这些而无法满足胃口，想更贴近事实的，强推小仲马的传奇自传《茶花女》，也是对妓女的救赎，故事大多雷同，只是悲剧结尾，后劲更大。
谁可以这样爱我呢？世界上找得到这样完美的人吗？我想里面所给与的爱，是祂给的，是真实有这样的，看起来真是遥不可及的爱，可是也很容易得着的爱，我想没有这样坚定的信仰，男主怎么如此去爱一个人，没有祂的爱，女主怎么能一点点被治愈，纯属个人观点😁
没有去年好看了因为实在是too many sad jokes，最好笑的还是太空鸡鸡。。
不能理解为什么多次把婚结归还回去，快乐哥说人的本性很难改变，之前一直做着的事情。突然不做了，会不习惯。不过还好，最终，爱，改变了这一切。希望现实生活中，爱也能有如此强大的力量！
虽然整体结构一般 为了其中难过到落泪的地方点上三星
