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'.

达科塔满脸写着欲 不过做个像男主一样心中永远有爱的人也挺好
4/10。前半部分观感还不错，但越到后面越膈应，结尾更是画蛇添足。跳舞这个母题没有与主线结合暂且不说，这个故事到底想表达什么？Domino当婊子立牌坊，反过来说Andrew年轻，这一段感情完全无法触动我。倘若两人最后关系破裂倒还好，和好如初是几个意思？
All characters are well-behaved 恰恰丝滑。音乐加分！
打发时间、叙事平淡的，但却突出了对弱者的爱和关心。更像《成长的烦恼》毕业版。
达妹和小男生的一段姐弟恋，达妹从上个片子黑了后到现在也没白，得好好保养下，又和莱斯利合作，她俩都喜欢，看不出莱斯利竟然50了，难得还这么精致，小鲜肉编导初出茅庐。
还好玩过很多遍《只狼》.。所以对最后一幕有些免疫了，虽然还是有些感觉不适
挺好…一直觉得达科塔是被五十度那种破逼玩意儿耽误了……导演97年的年轻人把第一视觉和第二视觉拍的相当到位了…所以观众第三视觉也蛮舒服的…情节设计的也好，好在两次关系没有发生，这事儿吧，怎么说呢，成年人应该都懂，一旦有了，人的心就一定会发生变化，尤其又不是要Open relationship…所以…好的剧情一定不是干出来的，而且两度自己暗暗伤心落泪，还是充分把一个年轻小伙儿的内心留给了自己，可以
very good parenting，男主的夸奖是典型的白人社交话术，没什么重要剧情，但是对话都很有意思
另外楚楚可怜但坚强的domino在家里随意摆一个姿势对andrew来说实在是暴击，怪不得andrew情根深种，虽然结局没能在一起
或许，一段短暂且有遗憾的爱情或许也能所获许多。
看的时候想，啥时冒出来的小俊美帅哥儿，年纪轻轻还要留小胡子儿，看完来看演职表，不得了噢，原来还是编剧和导演，简直是逆天了，前途无量。全片透着一 股轻盈、青春的气息，就像夏天喝上一杯沁凉清爽的类似柠檬汽泡水之类的解暑饮料，连小小的忧伤里都带着丝滑的甜蜜，是，也是只可能是年轻人拍出来的电影，甜到哀伤，用在这里倒一点都不觉得腻味做作，反而很贴切。达妹三十出头，但明显有人妻妈妈的感觉了，西方美女老的确实有点快，要好好保养了噢！喜欢她的自闭症女儿的那个演员，好舒服，哎，这样的小电影小情绪真的蛮适合我的，而且，看似没有剧情的那些有一搭没一搭的台词都写得极好，妙不可言！
每个人都在成长，只有体验过后，通过之后才能长大，刻骨铭心。 最后那段男主给妈妈打电话来接他，有点类似请以你的名字呼唤我的桥段。
竟然好感动，妈妈真好，孩子也好暖心，男主也好nice，好多好多的爱呀
女主角来自五十度灰，不过她不是主角
达科塔满脸写着欲 不过做个像男主一样心中永远有爱的人也挺好
自导自演啊 还挺厉害的 个人还挺喜欢的 很美式的治愈片 几处台词很不错 层次还挺丰富 最后凸显的核心还是在自我这个点 二十多岁的年纪跟孩童时期也并无区别 人每个阶段都在学习成长 但是在触达深层灵魂层面 还是差了一点 总体还是比较浅 但是这也是这片比较轻盈的原因吧
简单的一部片子竟然哭了好几次，Andrew大概是这个世界上最sweet的人了！！很舒服、很顺畅，喜欢，谁来跟我跳恰恰丝滑舞步！
虽已成年，但依然是个孩子。学会了接受妥协和遗憾才真正的步入了成年人的世界。
在当今女性主义兴起的政治环境下，越来越多的女性主义电影尤其是讲述女性被男性压迫的电影出现，只不过故事之间虽有不用但其表达的内容越来越趋于同质化，观感之上使人难免有些乏意，即使是这部有着男性不断怀胎不断生产出男性的惊悚画面的电影依旧不能例外。
其实剧情倒也没什么特别的，感动的是导演的真诚，导演也就是男主，这部电影是他自编自导自演的半自传性质的电影，正因为导演的真诚让我很容易共情男主
