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'.

呜呜呜呜呜呜笨小孩也能创造奇迹，电影拍的特别好，刚看完就来写评价了，整个片子都显出了小人物的喜怒哀乐，又有点心酸
四字弟弟的每部电影真的都有保证 加一星
人物众多却又无法展开。说到底还不是因为瓷器梦美丽易破碎。这个故事哪里有奇迹？不过是底层人民的自救罢了。
残酷又温暖的一个故事。电影前面是现实，结局是奇迹。
类型片了。给了许多深圳光鲜的特写，也没有回避深圳的现实。结尾过于理想了，但有时我们需要那一点美好，即便我们知道那很虚妄。
男性气质对男性的规训、压迫、异化，真正的大师杰作！
鄙人不才，活了二十多年第一次看见片尾给虚构人物配结局字幕的“现实主义”作品，真是开了眼的
药神这个基调太高了，虽然有降低预期的准备，还是觉得有落差，不过电影细节一如既往的好，演技也不错，希望文导再创佳绩
现实中小人物的艰难困苦远比电影更苦更难，然而这千千万万的蚂蚁中又有几人能得到电影结局般的happy ending呢？生为为人本就不易。。。希望一切终有圆满吧！
前面情节无主线，写得很随意，最后二十分钟直接不想写随便来个大团圆。但还是想把四星送给四字弟弟！
非常好，朋友给的免费票看的，没想到这么好。男主身上除了创业需要的坚韧不拔乃至“不要脸”的品质，还有混社会和三教九流打交道的小人物感，很现实，这点丰满了角色。最后危难时刻没放弃的元老员工成了合伙人，甚至最后实现了各自的成功，很不现实，也很画龙点睛，在此点名表扬女员工成立的打工人保护协会！😈
见到了跨越阶层获取财富的不易，电影却没有过分着墨于创业者的悲惨，既有心酸又有欢笑，节奏把握很不错。可惜结尾有些过于理想化了，让电影的立意掉了一些档次，但作为春节档也可以理解把
主流励志片，和“缝纫机乐队”有点像，幸福是奋斗出来的，努力奋斗吧！
有一点在意，易烊千玺的台词，是为了表现他因穷困的瘦弱无力吗，有些地方听着太小声没有力量感。不过他声音真的好苏啊，哄妹妹的时候我都在想他可能过两年就能演单亲爸爸了哈哈哈。
好好的现实主义题材电影，为什么胡乱添加浪漫主义和成功学呢？
俗套剧情，但是俗套的让人安心。这要是最后失败了我能因为这部电影膈应一年。
导演对节奏的掌控能力依旧不俗，但是故事本身的冲突实在很单一，跟前作中那些复杂的伦理困境无法相比。
很励志，能克服重重困难，赚钱治好妹妹对一个刚成年的孩子，真的是个奇迹。但每一个奇迹的背后都是无数的拼搏，不放弃，还有一点点运气。
文牧野的电影有一个很好的地方就是把草根阶层的男女老少全照顾到了。整体没有那么惊艳但也可以打个“良好”。四字弟弟挑大梁把这个人物立住了，妹妹好灵，兄妹互动好有爱。结尾如果停在电梯里会更好。“药神”其他人的客串有趣。总体而言是一部暖心的作品。
很优秀的一部电影，有感动，有故事，有人物……
