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'.

拍得挺质朴 感情挺纯真的 不过现实社会最后的结局大概率不可能
当剧情片和悬疑片难免会失望，当江湖文艺片就能收获满满的正能量。成乙和琵琶女都让人动容。
很久没看到这样的武侠片了。十步杀一人，千里不留行，事了拂衣去，深藏身与名。侠客，好久不见。
片子的色调、镜头和演员就是一味温良的清酒，没有洋酒的华丽和红酒的柔美，但却让人心很暖，能品出浓浓的家乡味，想起很多妈妈们特有的神情。
堪称第二部 盲战 了。在网大里中等了
功名无趣，坛酒散千金；
喜欢干脆流畅帅气的动作设计，有《座头市》的影子
7分。好久没看到这么爽利的武侠电影了。简简单单的一个快意恩仇的故事，瞎子捉刀人为被灭门的酿酒女报仇。时长只有74分钟，剧情一点圈子也不绕，前因、经过、结果，完事。动作设计还算不错，打斗场面干净过瘾，雪中复仇那段挺美。捉刀人功夫太高，最后通过暗箭伤人给捉刀人带来一点点难度。不同兵器的对抗是花了心思的，肉搏的设计看得有点疼。推荐一看。男主谢苗是跟李连杰演《新少林五祖》那个童星，现在挺帅。
潮汕人总之又爱又恨了，但没办法前者肯定溢余了。
如果是院线，我给3到4星，但网络电影这个程度，我给5分
我不是潮汕人。这部有《俗女》那种家庭温暖的感觉，广东南粤闽南地区那种强宗亲观念拍得很深刻，很喜欢，必须支持呀。片里的妈妈是我们妈妈的影子，操劳家庭又强势，不过是为了保护她的“小家”，而片里的男主也看得到自己的影子，在与家里人的关系和追求幸福中找平衡，有矛盾，也有爱，亲人疏于表达的沉默，自己理解但又不得不反抗的坚持……
没想到很不错诶！就很有潮汕本地的风情，龅牙女士是整部的笑点！
超级有共鸣的片子，身边人身边事，朴素真实的情感。全片几乎没有高潮，但是完全无尿点。看得我时而嘴角上扬，时而泪眼朦胧。----忘了说，我不是潮汕人
武侠片，剧情老套路了，但突然来一段悔亲，又说十年经营付诸东流，感觉剧情又丰富了。希望镜头信息多些，剧情丰富些。祝中国网络大电影越来越好！
包容接纳，对于一家人来说是和美的唯一至关重要
火龙斩帅，雪景漫画，不搞爱，不废话，一双错骨手，一把听风刀，一招楼兰斩，一颗侠义心，一个快意恩仇替人复仇的故事，有人为了江湖之义，可将一生轻掷之。这片儿是可以花钱的那种。
谢苗是我们小时候看着的 前几天在虎扑看到他自己上号宣传这部电影。很好的演绎一个瞎子 用的也是老式的武侠片的拍法 可以看到时长和投入都不大 但还算有诚意。
导演编剧有点文化好不好，还百里户，葫芦里装的是汽油还是70度老白干啊
故人一杯酒，万里相揖送。风雪夜杀人，白刃血纷纷
