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'.

剧情一般 比较无聊 男主做卧底实在过于容易被受信任很假 若要当警匪片实在是不够格 剧情不够紧凑 坑很多 打2🌟 由于是小崔 加多一🌟 大家可选择性观看
别砸了自家招牌。———2020.1.08
为了犯罪题材和崔宇植来看的，但是说实话，不是很理想。一方面可能是节奏不当，还有导演显得青涩的镜头语言。
小人很可爱，两个主角不合格。又不是没有会演戏的孩子，非要他们吗？没有原著好，但是算比较完整。
童年经典👍🏻，但给我看得越来越感觉焦虑，哪怕后面有反转，但还是处理得不够好，剧情，台词各方面也不太好。★
无论是做为儿童电影，还是做为真人童话故事，完成度都OK，难得的保留了郑渊洁童话的批判属性，孩子也很喜欢，追着老郑要了个签名，优先推荐父母人群和郑渊洁粉丝。
超出预期，非常好看！！！勇敢从来和身高没有关系，要懂得爱，做自己。
不太明白结论以恶制恶是好事么。新年的第一部电影
整个剧情有点平 没什么刺激的点 稍微有点乱 但是说的没错 警察要不是灰色的很难破案 尤其是大案
光顾着记人名和看厨子去了，事情的来龙去脉都给忘记掉了
是非，黑白，善恶的对立，灰色地带的讨论，不算韩国很优秀的电影，解解乏还不错
断断续续看的，成为坏警察是为了对付更坏的人...
鲁西西发型有点成熟啊。特效方面还需要加油！
整体感觉就是一平到底，看的人不紧张不激动。也就最后十分钟有反转好看了一点点，小崔演平凡小警察居然是还是蛮不错的，一点不出戏
做作地故弄玄虚，没有达到韩国犯罪剧情片的水准，改编真的不容易啊
首映，这是一部献给孩子的影片，也是一部回忆童年的影片，更是一部适合家长看的影片。关于亲子，关于师生，关于教育。另外，期待魔方大厦了！！！
我就觉得把这么意料之中的反转压在最后的十几分钟有点特别显得男主太拉了
本次是参加了盗梦的观影点映会，还有幸见到我的偶像郑渊洁老师，在点映会中，郑渊洁老师特意强调了如何对孩子们进行性教育保护工作，教给所有孩子一句话。我还不到14岁，你想坐牢么？
崔宇植过于工具人了。不过灰色地带警察这个方面的题材我好像第一次见。
很好看，干净纯真，没有一处尴尬、一处硬伤，我和女儿都看哭了。最后郑渊洁出现在片尾彩蛋，那感觉就像当年第一次在大银幕上上看到大黄蜂。希望有更多这样认真为孩子讲的故事、拍的电影。唯一的问题是校服设计，和美术、道具不配套，让人有点出戏。
