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'.

必须对网大改观了，有很多前人类型片的影子和脉络，也很粗糙，但看得出用了些心思，无论是镜头语言还是剪辑。赞同热门影评第一的那位，找个好的编剧，拾掇拾掇剧本。不要老是用四十年前邵氏《目无王法》的那套借古讽今～
3.5
江湖快意恩仇，清晰・硬朗・耿直，类型片能找出近似的有《JohnWick》和《Nobody》。角色设计极简也极好，但这瞎子人设怕不是驾驭难度极高，所以影视的打戏切分比较碎，好在不影响连贯性。整片给人的印象干炼精湛，无刻意凿琢的“文艺油水”，然而几组镜头却极富艺术美感，终战场景甚至有点黑泽明的内味儿了，同时联想起张艺谋的《影》。完成度虽高。不过也因为内容较短，加上打戏还是有所保留，似乎能嗅出一丝商业片试作品的气息。创意示范，若有续作，满心期待！
特别棒的一部地方特色电影。很喜欢这种大量方言的影片。。
過年前睇嘅，雖然有啲stereotype 而且最後結尾有點兒理想化但總體來講還算一部幾唔錯嘅方言電影 睇完之後個人對於潮汕地區果種對於傳統嘅虔誠，也有進一步嘅認識🙃
三加一 匠气也掩盖不了的真诚 乡镇生活细节动人 / 不过规避了重男轻女这一潮汕文化非常大的痛点 / 想把镜头伸向我妈妈
超出预期，低成本就巧用灯光布景，故事粗糙就用小手段拓展分支，打斗填补粗劣，导演在制作上很有想法，值得鼓励。
天，我哭得好大声。我要给最后那段vlog十颗星。 （虽然嫁潮汕男真的要慎重 放大标红加粗 但是如果真的有正缘这种东西，就是无论如何都不会错过的那种吧
很高兴看到落后观念逐渐改变
3.5 瞎子的过去可以再丰满些 虽然故事线简单 但还挺好看的 人走江湖 行侠仗义 瞎子看得比谁都清
挺不错的方言电影，没有国产电影的尬戏通病，是老百姓自己的日子。
很好很好的侠客电影，美术很好，场景很好，演员很好
6.5分，放在今年来所看的华语网络大电影里算是质量最好的一部了（今天还看了奈飞出品的网络电影《终极拦截》，觉得也是一部在及格线左右的普通类型片，缺乏惊喜）。影片没有像之前的那部《无名狂》般一言不合就装逼要搞所谓的“新派武侠”，但近乎黑白的镜头语言不断的营造出一种乱世之下的肃穆气氛，动作童星谢苗（《新少林五祖》、《赤子威龙》等）也塑造出一个不苟言笑的剑客形象，在某种程度上也致敬了日本剑戟片《座头市》
倍速观看正好说明拍成一个半小时短片正好。有些场面蛮好看。
少做少错型的网大，故事体量不大就不拍那么多乱七八糟，也行。
你不能那么自私的，只想着自己的生活，你还有父母。
一来一去，平平淡淡，不见浮夸的浪漫，便是真情
谢苗是我们小时候看着的 前几天在虎扑看到他自己上号宣传这部电影。很好的演绎一个瞎子 用的也是老式的武侠片的拍法 可以看到时长和投入都不大 但还算有诚意。
给五星吧～
谢苗可惜了，个人确实是锐意进取，奈何拿不到好资源只能常年在网大里打滚。继去年的东北版《致命武器》后又来部中唐版《座头市》。打戏非常流畅服化道运镜及格线以上就是剧本太老套，叙事和人物弧光不完整。这题材再打磨下可以更好的……
