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'.

小人物在大城市里面打拼的故事，平凡人努力活下去的故事，亲情，友情，同事情，惺惺相惜的情感，我觉得都很真挚。
故事有点单薄，几处转折过于生硬，实话我没感动到
易烊千玺这几年走势越来越好，感觉能望到刘亚仁的尾巴了，就是角色是感觉单一了一些，不管如何中国有这样一个年轻演员也是一桩好事
生活远比电影里演的更加艰难。既得利益者总是高傲地俯视着受苦受难的人，只有同样深陷泥沼的人才愿意伸出援手
优点是大场面很爽，光影塑造很漂亮，牺牲战士冰雕震撼心灵。缺点是剧情平庸，哪个角色要被写死基本出场不久就能猜到。对于人物的牺牲处理得难以引起共情，尤其刘秘书段——地图并不唯一，以身犯险动机不够，加之人物前期只出现过两幕，在观众印象中只是主席儿子这样一个脸谱化形象，无法触动内心深层次的共鸣。讨厌伍万里，无组织无纪律还开金手指，没了主角光环要死几百次了吧。我要看老兵们伟大牺牲，谁要看小兵成长记啊。朱亚文果然适合文质彬彬的角色，比演抖机灵油腻男强多了。最喜欢的角色是Edward，优雅绅士又懂得尊重中国军人的一位长官。
一个来自深圳华强北的创业奇迹，一个20岁年轻人所承受的生命之重，繁华城市背后底层打工人的奋斗画卷。感人至深的兄妹之情，同甘共苦的工友之情，责任与担当，无奈与挣扎，不屈与坚毅，这一幕幕场景存在得那么真实，以至于如此容易让我们感同身受。每一个生命的背后都有着不同的悲喜，在他们身上，你会发现所谓奇迹，也许只是凭借本能坚韧而活，却在咬牙坚持中，不一步步穿越了绝境。新的一年，希望多几次这样的感动，多一些属于我们自己的“奇迹”。
更生拳王爱养狗，劳工纠纷斗流氓，三和大神讨媳妇，伤残老兵再就业，看更免费托儿，工头结款算多；硕士毕业臭老九欺负大学肄业打工人，但同样低学历出身的大老板深知打工艰辛，是个好人哦 : )……文牧野剧作节奏把控工整得可怕，依然是牛鬼蛇神小团队做任务的套路，感觉像周星驰的片子去除了无厘头搞笑后，严肃认真地玩起煽情；但这类题材一弄严肃，其实并不太经得起推敲？即便如此，能让主旋律任务电影重新将视点回归在小人物真实生活疾苦上，也不容易
看起来很不可思议的故事 当放在深圳这座城市一切又变的有迹可循起来
全员演技在线，是那个深圳该有的样子。
前段剪辑凌乱，
虽说后期员工暂时不要工资了

故事有点单薄，几处转折过于生硬，实话我没感动到
导演水平不行
2021.10.16，在单位看的第二部影片，意义非凡，并且看的满腔热血。看到有英雄将标识弹转移后壮烈牺牲，看到伍万里的意气风发去应征，这就是时代的楷模！影片有着大量的中国与美国伙食，装备等剧情的对比，更是让人佩服那些抗美援朝的真正伟人！
我觉得非常一般，可能年纪大了点，不吃爱拼就会赢这一套了，谁都无法阻挡我躺平的步伐哈哈哈。就是说，非常平庸，演员剧情都平庸，看了开头就能猜到剧情走向的电影，实在没必要花钱去看。
易烊千玺演技👍👍👍
我还是愿意相信在深圳这片土地上，奇迹还是真有可能发生……
国泰民安的今天
很好看很好看啊啊啊
