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'.

前半段给人感觉很像忧郁版的阿甘正传，特别是女主的设定，后面吧，说实话也不知道具体想要表达讲了个啥，讲了很多，科学，生死，感悟，社会，无奈，时代，变迁，都说了又好像都没有说
朔爷牛逼。北京那部分的味道、气质太棒了，交谊舞会，摇滚音乐会，火锅饭局，大喇叭里朗读宣言，以及做手术前的贫嘴，让今天厌倦了“京味儿”的我心情大为舒畅。还想着当今影视界很少有人能精确地描绘时代风貌了，再一想，时代风貌的一部分就是王朔塑造的。是不是如今六十岁的王朔也开始思考人生、死亡，感慨记忆的衰退了呢？
彼此相爱却总在错过的两个人，丁老这个人设太棒了
后面部分真的太跳脱，很难理解，不过莫名有种伤感，可能是镜头氛围不错的原因。相比于和女主的故事，我觉得和女二的故事更叫人无奈又难过。还有，王传君和王珞丹最后要演出两代人的样子实在太诡异了，分明看起来两个人年纪就没区别，完全没有一个老了一个还年轻的感觉😒
//王传君这部比《药神》提高不少，但整体太像《钢琴家》男主造型神态，跳戏；王珞丹说不出好坏，也跳《本杰明》里的女主；我自己的问题，这里可以有骂声…
人的一生之初，便拥有最好的一切；往后的日子里，将仅剩失去，再多努力，也是徒劳。
梦幻的鬼故事，好像合理又好像不合理。
闲着没事看看还挺好的，完成度很高。但是故事没什么亮点，没新意。弹幕都在说这是在抄袭XX。的确像个翻拍。
编剧王朔用奇幻的方式跟观众开了一个玩笑：永生永世，抑或是一种惩罚，因为你希望用“不老”对抗错过，却发现最后自己失去了一切，唯有你孤独存在。但爱情，是可能是解药，因为爱情是一段一段随着时光变换状态的事物。早期是懵懂，前期是热烈，中期是相思，到了最后，仅剩下回忆。其实谁能一直一样？懂得爱，除了包容和付出，还需要准备迎接那个你逐渐不认识的人，或者容颜老去，或者物是人非。
看到中途想着月底前搞一针儿干细胞打打，是不是还来得及，看过结尾后突然觉得duck不必了，永葆青春不老不死如果不是个广普技术，那也太可怜了。
即使鲁的额间还是忧郁的，我这个观众，却因为他的存在和记得，得到了最大的慰藉。
中间那一段医学故事真的很突兀，全片也真的很感人，但对本人而言，缺失一个真正能打动人的细节
今天约会对象把我约到他家，我俩就全程看完这部电影诶🦦🦦🦦
搞乐队玩摇滚卖唱女文学系渣导演，一展现北京文艺就搞这些元素，真的看厌了。后边更离谱，玛蒂尔达化身中国叛逆妹子，穿越到捷克搞科研。我爱她但是我又放不下另一个她，两全其美的办法是让她生下我和另一个她的受精卵。服了，中年男人的恶心幻想。
“他好的时候，不需要我在。”
剧本很深刻，艺术性很强。但镜头与叙事太过普通。
怎么说呢，很怪…
什么叫诈骗电影？这就是。女主的王珞丹没有女二李婷婷一半戏多。完全无法理解整部电影的高潮点和表达点在讲什么。如同流水账一样的白痴叙事和矫揉造作的旁白来讲一个老去的回忆录。王传君面瘫式表演以及那种刻意感满满的祝祷词，人生的无奈，生命的流逝拍成这个鬼样子。运镜和题材借鉴，娄烨和大卫·芬奇知道了都自愧不如。
竟然是在飞机上看的 故事塞得太满了，以及观众早已对这种老北京式的缅怀语气感到疲惫 但是王珞丹是美的 还是长发适合她
就像是好几个故事拼凑在一起，再次弄个长生不老出来？？？
