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'.

剧情中规中矩，从M6暂时变成了M5，也算是对应G5，不过还有一位会不会是电影里被忽略的海马，也比较希望是独角兽，只有一只不够对称，最后天角兽加上两只天马就多了。
8分，绝对不是一次廉价的怀旧，而是对70年代复杂又精妙的致敬；表演、运镜和配乐是那么的迷人，营造了一种轻松又优雅的氛围
小鸡电影 现在大家都玩起怀旧 是谁岁月静好啦？
编剧真是高明高超，剧情抓人又怪趣，拍得非常好，专门安排两个美女硬是要拍丑，专门安排两个男星是个个不着调，好笑。
好自由散漫啊，PTA带着一众亲友团玩出一部电影，放大年代后一切极简，世界纷乱我们只管相爱。
7.0 怀旧电影，散漫冗长，最不喜欢的一部PTA。典型的反好莱坞古典叙事，运镜风格独特。
今天陪孩子看了这部电影，男孩子可能还是不太有感觉，但也全程看的津津有味~看的过程中一直觉得小时候我也看过一堆五颜六色的小马满天飞，于是搜了一下，真的有！叫小马驹！1986年出的！
为什么它能是一个大IP？早已不记得小时候的故事是什么，今天的后期制作和情节主题等等都极具时代特色…进步从质疑过去开始，彩虹是包容自由的新标准，团结友谊求同存异让我们更美好。个别角色中文配音稍差，音乐流行动感，好评！ 《开心超人》团队，一起来观摩学习一下啊。
一开始觉得女主不好看，看到一个半小时她溜坡车技展示，俺情不自禁鼓掌👏
pta老纯爱战神了；这次美术太疯狂了；中间有一段男主有点老霍夫曼感觉出来很感动🥲
一开始想说除了女主腿其他都不行，没想到从一半往后越来越上头，舒缓的准确的刻画了一个年代，很重的道理浅浅的表达。
3.5 PTA就是...很敬佩但是拍的故事大多我都get不到，所以电影里很多scene还是挺喜欢，特别是三姐妹出现的地方
G4结束了，G5直接从零开始也挺好的。歌曲一如既往地好听，而且3D化的小马们看起来手感好好啊。Sunny最后的角和翅膀都是虚影，看来离真正成为天角还有些距离
歌好听。第一次特地去看中配，第一次做了一匹马的梦女🤗
关于不太合适的两个人兜兜转转之后决定在一起的琐碎记事，对白比较出彩故事不太有共鸣，没有达到期待的观感
很扎实，几处定格就把人物心理展露无遗，事情的转折看似什么都没讲，但呈现的结果已在情理之中，好笑又大条。
4.5。特别奇妙奇特的一场观影体验。三次叙事小高潮 两场无敌大奔跑 让有情人终成眷属。其他的都是闲笔，构建了美国70年代的梦幻，琐碎，阳光，脆弱和敏感。
无疑是很私人的一部，意外的喜欢，PTA的70年代记忆碎片，随性自然、轻盈散漫又诙谐有趣，观感十分愉悦，PTA的视听层面依旧惊艳，真的太会拍了，两个新人演员都表现尚佳，相差13岁的奇怪恋情，串起一个个独特的小情节与人物，完全被PTA的私人世界折服，几个大牌的客串都令人印象深刻，特别是Bradley Cooper，短短几场戏可比《玉面情魔》里惊艳多了，这里对各色男性的审视，以及女主的很多戏份都看的出PTA的女性视角尝试，要说其实从《魅影缝匠》就开始转变了
3.5 绝对不差，但也没太多惊喜。即便在这样一个私人的爱情故事里，也有好多精彩的，关于媒介的思考和自反。
时间浓缩版，或者说年代限定版《当哈利遇到莎莉》，就只能寻找一些微妙的趣味了。大龄童星和保守人家女儿带你游旧花园，临了告诉你不成功还可以成家呀，不成功只是因为这个时代注定不成功嘛～
