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'.

Biggest surprise came from Gal Gadot. Wooh.
6分，卧槽网飞开始用ai写剧本了吧，要不这个是强森写的？
它以为它是无间道，其实它是一泡盖尔加朵拉的巨石强森味的屎。
本以为小贱贱和大光头基情到底 最后这个反转啥意思？PS最后黄老板的惊喜倒是比正片更搞笑
为啥评论区说的这么不堪，虽然剧情很直线，但是这三人还是比较有梗的吧
高赞长评感觉说到了点子上，网飞知道用户（非影迷）喜欢什么，所以在115分钟的时长内把所有热点都占上了，至于起码的剧情逻辑？谁在乎呢……
非常工业化的——我不是来拆散这个家的，我是来加入这个家的。
也不能说烂，就是老套，非常老套……还有点无聊。当然加朵还是美的。
流水线快消品，全靠演员撑，但演员的那一套也快腻了。
3D打印用什么材质才会遇到可乐就融化？查了半天没结果
非常套路的风光+嘴炮的网飞大数据电影，台词并不幽默，毫无惊喜，你绝对能一眼望到头，三位主演也同样贡献了非常套路的表演，就是你能够想象得到的他们惯常的样子，但可惜毫无火花。算是今年出产的爆米花片当中相对还OK的，想要不带脑子打发时间可以。
（一天看两部巨石强森，每部都戳心感觉）；
黑亚当大战死侍大战神奇女侠，大数据棚拍的电影，经费都花片酬上了吧。
像是AI写出来的剧本，告诉它主演名字和题材类型，AI根据演员特性和观众喜好大数据写出来的剧本。 不过盖尔加朵好看就完事儿了 对了，能不能不要对三不管监狱刻板印象了，今年已经看了两个古拉格2.0了。
就說腐感十足的配對不香麼~Ryan和Gal角色互換感覺會更香~
《速激》系列中道恩·强森和杰森·斯坦森的组合也是玩的这一套（打嘴炮），《速激：特别行动》中道恩·强森和杰森·斯坦森，以及道恩·强森和瑞安·雷诺兹玩的还是这一套，这部又来，实在是看腻了。
竟然有吴京一闪而过？Ed为“婚礼”歌唱……
说它无脑也好，说它偷工减料也好，说它烂也好，yeah, but I love it.
强森，糯米滋，加朵三个人的角色形象其实都和他们之前的作品差不多【确实很敷衍】，但是凑在一起真的很有火花。强森和糯米滋真的太有化学反应了！糯米滋嘴碎的样子，单拎出来特别让人讨厌，但是如果有一个强势，比较冷面的角色和他相映衬，最后确实有1+1>>2的效果。
过程是有点综艺化了，不太像正经电影，哪怕是爆米花电影
