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'.

故事略套路，温情得有点不像话。
水准还是一流。喜欢买者用母乳喂奶那场戏，很刺痛生母；裴斗娜感慨自己才是“掮客”，也很有趣。但是饼叔能拿影帝是他几十年演员生涯的肯定，单凭这部戏实在是难有说服力。另外故事的话，也其实有点差强人意。
iu演技太差了，眼神里没有光。整个故事情节也比较杂乱，真的有点水土不服啊。最后的结局也很狗血——女警察暂养了孩子。
互帮互助毫不利己，是枝裕和镜头下的小人物到了韩国突然“迪士尼”化，实在很难不想念《小偷家族》。虽然但是，还是有关了灯后非常动人的时刻。
6.5分。当年怎么看《小偷家族》的，如今就怎么看本片。好多桥段真的是一个模子压出来的。不过这种设计我就只服气《东京教父》，其他总觉得缺口气。特别是本作，男主都已经是掮客了，经手的孩子没一百也起码八十了吧，竟然还能这样关心每个孩子？这种也太虚假了？？整体一般吧。
因为是枝裕和宋康昊裴斗娜，期待了一年多，失望。
现实里的边缘人应羡慕电影里的边缘人，
居然还算圆满的结局，虽然故事基础有点不太牢靠，但表演都可圈可点，感情也都很自然。
《人贩子》。第一次遇到对我来说完全失去魅力的釜山—仁川景色，根本感受不到空间上文化、情感的移动，都放在首尔演也不突兀，明明釜山话是那么好听的啊，即使那个摩天轮是我之前唯一坐过的摩天轮，那片海一直是我的微信头像。第一次在电影里看到晴空万里下假雨。冗长又奇怪的叙事，用“童话”掩盖了生死背后的很多东西，“过分的善意”让一切悬浮，反而伤害了真正的善。平庸郑在日。宋康昊和裴斗娜的演技在几年前就停止了。姜东元和金永大不仅长得像，演技也像。韩国有一类演员，不知道是因为整容还是天生骨相，面部太平整和空白，只能表达出几种很直白的表情，这样怎么演得好除kpop爱豆这种特殊身份以外的戏啊，肢体和台词又很差。比小偷家族还差。
是枝裕和对这种擦边球性质的温情故事和人性恻隐真是情有独钟，但是这次无论是故事框架还是演员表演甚至这种不太日也不太韩的风格都让人感到一言难尽。
剧作、拍摄、演员单拎出来都可以，依然很稳，只是少了些日式温情更像韩国类型片
可怜之人……
“谁也不想要，但还是出生了。应该在生下之前就要打掉。”“最终还是丢掉了。”
虽然但是，好无聊啊。总感觉换成日本背景能好点。
看前面的时候想到漫画星之子了，洗车那段就很是枝裕和啊。这么看还挺跟时事啊，不过一句谢谢你出生在这个世上也没办法抵御人世的苦难吧。既然没办法让孩子幸福为什么一定要让他出生呢？
是枝裕和的风格，寡淡如水，却又有很强的张力，关键台词调动情绪。小偷家族的路数很明显。iu演得真好。
凌晨3点20，所有的气息都美翻天，摩天轮疯狂截屏
啊这样的温情感觉太不真实了 表演也没什么出彩的地方 堕胎的话题有点应景
你好我好大家好的主旨包裹着一个很悬浮的故事。
影帝的话我觉得姜东元演的更好啊，开头感觉在看电视剧，还是日本式内敛版的，这么好的题材可发挥的部分拍的如此平淡如白开水,是枝一直就很中庸，中规中矩一向如他，近一点的《小偷家族》远一点的《如父如子》《无人知晓》都是类似题材翻来覆去的拍没有一点惊喜
