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'.

无论亲情友情，那种突然消失的痛，和竭尽全力去寻找，到最终接受消失都难以释怀的过程，亲历过的人最清楚，影片的节奏和慢镜头的诠释，深入人心，共鸣温情。好片。
不能理解导演为什么能把这种故事拍得这么无聊
好像说了什么，又好像什么都没说，过于碎片化了。美波真好看！
奔向天空 致敬高山
拍得没有深度啊，简直是催眠电影，靠着美波的颜分三次才看完，节奏过于慢了，有些重复的部分意义不大，感觉拼拼凑凑成了一部电影
开了两倍速还是觉得发展好慢，中间一度走神玩手机了...一分给景色，一分给剧里的唯一一次kiss吧...
受不了了这拍的啥啊。。勉强给个三星吧。。拖沓的剧情 你这能给我拍俩小时 导演你把我的两小时还给我🙂太拖沓了 节奏很慢 但比较喜欢的是整个的滤镜风格 挺文艺的 还有这是拉拉片吗 看得我想死是能说的吗 拍的不明不白 莫名其妙 啊不过美波是真的好漂亮…冲着美波来的谢谢美波让我忍着痛苦看完了
虽然很淡，但还是被触动到了。实在是因为最近的生活过得跟灾难似的，看什么都能哭到崩了。
节奏慢到无法集中精力看，整个片子又弥漫着一股悲伤的基调，看得很难过。不过活着的人困于亲密的人的突然离世，不愿放下的故事还是有点打动到我。
感觉叙事太意识流了 动画不错
看完许久发现内心还是很在意店长的去世啊......
其实东北现在拥有非常不错的喜剧资源，没落的暴发户与小人物在这个后工业城市下用自身的幽默上演着一幕幕情景剧讲述这个时代的变化，然而可能是这几年错误的引导，越来越有野心的导演却在一开始就定错了调，通过极具夸张巨额的钱或权反观小人物的走向，以一种非人的奇观先在的物化人，无论后面再讲述什么了不起的和解故事，这个调性都很难拉回来，也就是说，无论后面再怎么拉，观众被先前的奇观或不可能影响，已经认定这部影片与现实无关了
网大里算是很有特色的，整体是对东北的解构，但后半段的失重太可惜了
日本有《美好的世界》，咱只能拍出这么个玩意儿。
可以了，笑点不断，也接地气。
没想到居然是一个相互暗恋的故事，为了滨边美波的颜，觉得可以多加一星。
3.刀爷就是幕后出资人的设定有些狗血了
不管中川拍什么都在拍同一部电影，看任何一部没有本质分别。同世代不思进取的那一批日本导演中最缺乏才华的一位。
电影艺术的进阶技巧更是无从谈起。
