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'.

童话故事的感觉。0.00000001的感觉。
没有什么事是不可能的
说不上来，男主太完美，有些不真实的感觉，就影片本身的呈现来说意义也好、深度也罢显得有些肤浅，总之故事的情节撑不起它的内涵吧！
男女主角，电影画面，都很唯美，配乐也好听。是久违的，阳光的，温暖的，光明的爱情电影，喜欢。
这世界应该没有男主这样的男人。其实故事本身没什么出彩的，但是我哭了……生活太难了
以及，当你悔不当初、深夜辗转时，你有勇气、有机会去从头开始吗？
Lauren Daigle的《Look Up Child》专辑中这首《Rescue》
我能理解女主，但是我无法理解男主…他不是在爱女主，他是在感化女主。
我不知道谁会是我的救赎.在被别人救赎前希望自己可以成为自己的那道光
Hahahaha還是好多處被笑到，這個系列可以一直拍下去
即便你风花雪月，在我眼里你依旧是神圣高贵的。你走我给予你装备，你归我仍在原处。无目的，无原因，只因这患得患失的一见钟情。你说你不净，我却仍爱你。
这剧情，就离谱。。圣母男主啊啊啊。。额额额。。为什么这样拍。。好吧。。我追的是女三，明明和我一样89年，国外妹子显老啊。。哎哎哎。。哈哈哈。。
本来打算拿它跨年的，结果看着看着睡着了……以及，2021年给我最大的感受是：当人类去反对某件事物时，大部分情况下并不是因为这件事物本身有什么不好的地方，而是因为它侵犯到了这群人的个人利益，或者说，他们以为它侵犯到了。当然，也可能有一部分人压根儿就不在乎被侵犯的利益是啥，只是因为大家都在反对于是就加入了进来，毕竟，一切群居的生物都是从众的。
回看2020，也是未来十年最好的一年。马特达蒙干啥了？为什么要内涵封杀他？
跨年夜看这部真是过于应时应景了。好多梗爆笑了。世界越来越割裂，明年会好吗？
大体还是延续了上一部的风格和主要演员，2021年的故事更多，这些角色依然还是那么愚蠢和可笑，我最喜欢英国的那个傻妞。为什么片中没有提及美国的反亚裔问题？刘玉玲白出演了
这时代已经荒诞到分不清真实与虚构画面了。合格的跨年夜娱乐节目。
抛开电影制作 从背景到人性救赎 拍出了人性的无奈 人性的弱点 。宗教是一个引子 有信仰的人才有原则性 自我救赎回归本质。女主角真美！
我能理解女主，但是我无法理解男主…他不是在爱女主，他是在感化女主。
剧本演技制作都不错，没有很尴尬的设计，女人的无奈尴尬心痛爱恋等都比较真实，男人的塑造相对单薄了点，没由来的颜控
