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'.

不是妈妈的神奇小子，是小子的神奇妈妈。对不起。
从爬到走再到跑的过程太顺滑了，还是希望看到一点克服障碍的桥段。
B 国语看的真是别扭，一度想离场…根据真人真事改编，这是很好的外在条件。电影讨论了残疾运动员处境，从顺境到逆境，生活终归平淡。剧情过于煽情，叙事平淡无奇，一部较为工整的作品。潮起又潮落，连运动员都要面对，更何况是普通人的你呢。
整体的情节还是太过制式，那个长得贼眉鼠眼的运动员经纪人也没有成为反派大boss，没有反派的电影其实有点难拍，这一部只能说勉强完成任务。
体育迷看到这样的片子还是很触动的 竞技体育永不止步永不放弃的魅力 谁追谁知道 残疾人不易 他们家里人的艰辛程度也是容易被忽视的 苏妈苏弟一路走来也是困难频频 真应该加强对运动员的保障 其实苏弟那条线（被忽略的兄弟姐妹 让我想起了顾长卫的孔雀）和隐藏的爱情线 着墨如果再深点会更好
其实是个很感人的故事，只是叙事方式怪怪的。
演员演的是真不错，前半段很完整，但是到后面点到的家庭问题社会问题没有一个接应，导致电影最后落点比较模糊。整体上除了煽情这个题材还可以做的更好的，就是感觉香港导演怎么感觉也束手束脚起来了……
吳君如演技有點over. 但不阻止整個戲院的人喊到PK.
看的点映，男主三个阶段的演员都很好！和吴君如的吵架片段太好哭了……（煽情有克制，还有笑点，我觉得不错！）
没有选择用力过猛的催泪渲染，赛道上几乎窒息的面孔、超过火车时母亲的惊愕、运动员做快递员的尴尬、举起手指的第一名却总能四两拨千斤触摸到心底的角落，细节饱满的设计与大小苏桦伟的刻画，让平实的煽情有了灵魂。在树立母爱足以创造奇迹的同时，更打造了一部属于苏桦伟的传记。母爱、奔跑、残疾、贫困都组成了这段传奇，却又都只是他的一部分，创造神奇的成分尽是由生活淬炼。
题材用了残奥会冠军的故事，也点到了残疾运动员以及他们家人的心酸和社会的反应，不过也就点到为止，没有深挖。可以看出电影重点不在这里。
演员演得挺好的。也挺动人的。不知道是我冷了还是电影太热了，始终不是很感触
可惜劳模刘德华并没有像唐探3那样，作为隐藏彩蛋出现
一个人的成功标准，在我看来，在于他是否突破了先天条件（家境，体质，智力，性格……）的局限性，并往前了一步。
买可乐时串戏到朱梁，有cola，有hope.
真实故事改编
二十多年苏妈的脸没啥变化，张继聪的老年妆又很到位，所以这是啥设定。少年和青年两位演员真的很棒，新生代了不起，希望以后继续看到。还有老baby钱小豪又是出现在花絮时间长过正片……这次很遗憾影院没有排原声场次，哭泣。
不僅形神恍如一人，
1.体育叙事
前半段追逐梦想，后半段进入现实。打动我的，是揭露残障运动员在社会上的不公平对待。妈妈的戏份盖过了主角，片尾过于煽情
