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'.

这一辈子真够苦惨。
挺一般 只是每次看到易烊千玺我都会想到和她一起看的唯一那一部电影
边看边哭......作为一个深二代，电影里的某些片段真的让我感同身受
如果经历过这样的生活，如何活着都不会畏惧。如果是这样的性格，如何的生活都不会被打倒。根本不是笨小孩啦，是很聪明的努力小孩！（四字弟弟演技越来越棒了）
又喝了一壶鸡汤，顺便听了场煽情音乐会。易烊千玺台词还在吞音。
心疼我们千玺弟弟，每次都演那么让人心疼的角色，但演技一点都不拉胯，每个人都在千难万难的生活着，感谢你的拼搏努力，让自己过上更好的生活
这个叙述流程确实是跟药神有相似的，因某件事更加团结，一路受挫，除了车斗戏有些离谱外，其他倒都是能接受且爱看的，剧情连贯几乎没有茶歇空间，很大的问题是妹妹状态太好了，完全不像病人，说是雨天会咳嗽，实际上台风天都不带咳嗽的。以前因为易烊千玺主演就不去看这种偏见确实是不对的，还是仅把他当作新人演员比较好
过程很现实，但结果过于理想，希望每个人的理想都能实现
合格的类型片叙事节奏，至于现实，深圳早已不是奇迹之城，片中俯瞰下的白石洲也早已在“俯瞰下”荡然无存。
难以想象易烊千玺的大银幕形象如此多变，他看着还是个孩子呢，却能演出如父一般的男人样子。对待妹妹和朋友们都非常成熟可靠，最辛酸的是他在婚礼上喝醉后像个中年人又像个少年人，想回去读完大学，太虐了啊。
小人物的奋斗史，坚韧又动人！哭了好多次。易烊千玺和小哈琳的演技太棒了！坚强哥哥与懂事妹妹的组合，妹妹问哥哥「你很累吧？谢谢你」破大防😭😭😭
虽然不敢认可 “多少付出就有多少回报/经历过天大苦难之后就能迎来顺遂” 的美好 ，但是继小红花之后再度为四字弟弟的表现落泪……
每次电瓶车上一前一后骑行，哥哥迷茫的眼神诉说生活的无奈，每次在孙爷爷那窗户远望，是妹妹担心哥哥。哥哥的一次次打“赌”，都是没办法的没办法，他需要拼尽老命为妹妹攒手术费，正式签约时一句“这次有定金吗？”“哥哥，我梦到妈妈说叫我好好照顾你。”泪目。一群社会底层人士聚集在一起总会迸出火花，这个城市需要打拼与机遇。
众生皆苦。如果不是为了活下去，为了妹妹，又哪里来的这种努力呢？坚强不分年纪
其实整体剧情都能想到：成功前的一次次困难与意外，以及最后的成功。
7.3分，前面不错，有泪点有笑点，但是深夜车站追击戏大可不必，结尾更是一塌糊涂，还不如结尾到电梯里那场戏呢，不过优点也有，许多细节不错，剧情是老套没什么新意的鸡汤片，但是四字的演技肉眼可见的强了，不是四字粉但是因为有四字女友粉的好朋友，我真的也几乎是一路陪着她看了不少四字，确实是越来越好，希望四字加油，演员们都演技在线
平平稳稳，中规中矩，却总有种刻意压抑的感觉，就让我有点出戏，让人很不爽。
看起来很苦，但仍然是个童话故事。四字的演技让妈粉膨胀
一个没看到干啥的肥硕弟弟，一个风韵酒鬼妇人，一个折纸花被戏谑的单薄男孩......
20220504 这也只能在电影里看到的剧情吧！多一星给四字弟弟！
