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'.

被影院预告吸引，但种族复仇情绪太浓烈，更喜欢92版
男主sweet and nice，是个好人，女主激情、活力、乐观、情商高，人也很nice，两个主角都讨人喜欢。女主托关系，带男主玩晚上空无一人的游乐场，我也是无力吐槽了，礼物你可以有想象力点。中间闹点矛盾，最后无非就是把追飞机改成追比赛结束。还是套路，只不过变成了男女角色互换的爱情片。开头惊艳、后面就不该一路平庸下去。
有点low low的，比起电影，更像电视剧吧
剧情很白痴，但是詹妮弗竟然演技不错诶！当她穿着镶满水钻的那条裙子从升降机升出舞台时，那神态，那眼神，还真是满满的悲剧调调。
不是因为看JLo，那真的是完全无法忍受。歌挺好，听听就可以了。不要看画面了，惨不忍睹。
有机会拍好的
不作死就不会死，我现在终于知道是什么意思了。
太烂了，剧情一坨狗屎，连不带脑子乐一乐都做不到，拍的什么垃圾！
超长mv,完全不来电，到现在也不明白为什么这部被引进了。
怎么拍的那么显眼……
都2022了还拍诺丁山这样的老段子就不吐槽了，而且两位主角的年龄也都太大了，威尔逊的表演尤其垮的厉害，歌曲也都算不上多好听，所以引进真就是为了凑数的吧
Candyman x5！看完马上摆个pose来了个大召唤术，可是他并不受理黄种人业务。
导演像极了刚上大一时不知天高地厚的新生，总觉得天降大任于斯自己，得到题目后，心高气傲地励志创作从思想深度到表现形式都惊天地泣鬼神的巨作……然鹅呢？脑子里才气有限，能力又捉鸡，功底还没熬出来，点灯熬油很久才发现刚刚开了个头！可交作业的最后期限到了，怎么办？只能用用一副破罐破摔的颓丧收了个尾～求老师看在性本善的情理上，给个及格……哈！
没看过之前的版本，单就这个新版来看，画面和惊悚感做的还是可以的，只是有些场景莫名其妙，例如5个女孩洗手间对着镜子没来由的念5遍糖果人狗带的情节就挺割裂的，虽然其中一个女生是看过画展的。本片主要还是因为种族隔离和歧视的内外原因导致的怨念难消，一代代的持续至今，美国依然存在种族问题，也是这个系列可以持续拍下去的原因吧。
虽然是过年时全家人热热闹闹一起看的00年初套路爱情片，但有头有尾，原声带极其好听，超额完成任务，非常值得一看。虽然显得过于轻巧，仍然有大量改进空间，但结尾请情侣们讲自己的故事真的被感动到，尤其那对说“81年前我们在一家医院出生，只差了两天，都穿着尿布，81年后我们又穿上纸尿裤了”的老夫妇。看完非常快乐，感谢它陪伴我度过的赶ddl的一晚上。
后半部的转折不太好。
字里行间透露着黑人在美国收到的不公与歧视。本来好好的讲故事，非得画蛇添足的侧面描绘一下。单线都没玩明白，硬是要上多线程。
Owen Wilson 现在就像个扁嘴老太太
虽然很像为了宣传J lo专辑而拍的电影，但是最后真的很好哭😭剧情当然是很不现实的，但是一部欢乐的片子。小马儿银幕首秀还不错（或许是本色出演？）希望以后有更多的拍戏机会
这是现实中可能出现的故事吗？歌不错但剧情挺烂俗挺狗血的。
