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'.

以后要多关注残障人士，蛮真实的感受。吴君如演技真的好，一开头就给我整得有点感动。
残奥赛场上当之无愧的“苏神”！片子拍得非常澎湃，儿童、少年和成年三个阶段的演员外貌和气质契合度也非常高，吴君如多年积淀的演技也让人刮目相看。
自从《岁月神偷》后，吴君如对于一个贤妻良母的演绎已经炉火纯青了。她演的奥运冠军他妈，显然比他老公导的奥运冠军，更好一些。
开头几乎是立马就开始流泪 但到后面略显疲软了 吴君如演妈妈演的太传神了 眼神属实细腻 贡献了好多泪点 全片的竞技色彩没有很浓厚 更多的是刻画社会现状以及运动员的穷途末路 有些悲凉 收尾没有把价值输出推上高度 还是不太到位的 但很有意义 值得去电影院观看
大概是因为去看电影之前看了各种片段，本想哭一场却没实现。运动员真是不容易，残障运动员更不容易，希望同工同酬！苏桦伟很辛苦，妈妈很辛苦，弟弟很心酸，一直活在哥哥的影子中。
所有人都是驾轻就熟的表现，唯一的问题是，似乎有些过于四平八稳了。
标准的温情励志片。君如姐从《岁月神偷》后就好适合演这样坚毅伟大的母亲角色。
【3S】整体淡水流账，难得后段冲突矛盾来个顶点却迎来无声无息的温情化解，想写真却又不写深。
前半段追逐梦想，后半段进入现实。打动我的，是揭露残障运动员在社会上的不公平对待。妈妈的戏份盖过了主角，片尾过于煽情
虽然由中影参与投拍，但是本片没有让主角去为国争光，甚至在奥运会场，香港区旗都是经常和英国国旗在一起，足见给主创团队的自由度。故事本身是个好故事，演员们模仿残障人士非常像，但拍摄手法比较粗糙老套。
三十岁了，失去了站在跑道上微笑的时候
感動慘！吳君如真的可以搏多個影后 男主角也拍得很似！
是有观看性的，虽然剧情编排上有一点抓马。但聚焦残奥运动员的角度是不错的，辉煌的背后是一家人的辛酸，取得成绩也依然得不到公平对待，热爱纵然感动也逃不开生计的困窘。运动员都是可敬的，可与片子呼应的现实是今年残奥会无人问津的现状。喊了这么多年却好像没改变什么，有种哑然的苦涩。
剧情和励志肯定是棒棒哒。难道就没有人发现，海报上吴君如特别像 任素汐么？
点映粤语版。整体过得去，后半比前半要好，大概是刚上来没冲突，然后配乐就铺得贼满，而且是很不舒服、过头了还没被煽到的厌恶性的那种满，故事的口号感也明显，偏矫枉过正，生怕观众觉得主角正常。后半段本土问题、运动员生存问题、家庭问题等等问题都捅出来以后反而是片子最舒服的时候，吴君如台词的感染力也到了顶点。剪指甲贯穿全片，尤其喜欢苏妈妈对于日后生存和儿子单纯想冲刺的抉择和挣扎的dilemma的冲突设计。希望大家多多关注残奥会，为他们喝彩。片尾曲加一星
而扮演少年、成年蘇樺偉的兩位演員，
妈妈的辛苦没有深究刻画，但她的真实都有铺垫出来。生二胎为了以后照顾老大，为了老大退役后不用那么辛苦，抓住时机多拍广告，为了儿子未来的每一步路，都做了计划的同时也忽略了小儿子。这就是妈妈的无奈心酸和自我的痛苦。 现实就是残奥会的关注度真的低好多，奥运会运动员退役后生活过得不好尚且不少，希望真的同工同酬，别区别对待。他们比任何人都更不容易的站上比赛台，去拼搏努力。
很好哭，尤其是前半段。励志、亲情果然都是我无法抵抗的泪点。后半段因为时间线拉长，填塞的事件过多，有点走马观花，导致情绪不连贯。最后的比赛也没有复原比赛现场，让观众体验当事人情绪的波动，而是在用闪回拼贴煽情。
煽情的点能get到但没戳到😅叙事感觉抓不到重点，为题材+1🌟
一开始的四人接力哪里最好。
