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'.

北野武和深见千三郎的师徒情令人感动，让影帝饰演阿北，难为他了
柳乐优弥不愧影帝，北野武的单眨眼，抽嘴角，歪脖子精髓深得。强行老年北野武仿妆，以及浮夸的劳斯莱斯去上坟有点莫名。大泉洋演的老一辈爱徒弟的师傅把我给哭死。虽然浅草小子的故事内容很熟，不过两个多小时还是太喜欢了。Netflix良心制作，片尾曲配插画很搭。明天就去浅草打卡东洋馆和捕鲸船
她因为他的才气傲骨而爱的死心塌地，他因为爱的死心塌地而舍弃才气傲骨，爱情既可以是毒药也可以是解药，中间是这个叫生活的操蛋杠杆；看来国内外舞台人都经历过只有一个观众的“厕所难题”，这是群苦中作乐的天使啊，我依旧觉得喜剧人真的是个高危职业…话说老郭估计很感慨，一个角色中既能看到自己又能看到儿徒，但人家裂穴的徒弟混成大师拍了部电影缅怀老师，而他和曹金留下的只有一地狗血
哭了三次，三次调侃师父：断掉的手指，居酒屋递高跟鞋，在师父的灵堂上说，烧了一半的尸体，可以半价！如果让北野武自己来演自己会怎样啊！剧团一人作为导演拍了自转前半段师徒情谊的部分。
柳乐优弥表演时模仿得真像啊，那种用后部发音的气声。他跳踢踏舞时笑起来和小时候简直一模一样，真神奇。
看哭了，师父太好了。最后那个长镜头，如果时光能倒流，可以重新踏入记忆中的地方，那身处其中，当时只道是寻常的点点滴滴，如今都是再也不可得的过往，铭记、怀念、致敬，然而没有了就是没有了。
故事：9 情感：9 结构：8 节奏：6
本来我觉得这部电影一般，但是结尾的半小时让我的眼泪流的啊……从候场的舞步开始，我始终是泪眼朦胧。
3.5柳乐优弥演的稍显一丢刻意，但越往后越有说服力。
後半部比較抓人。所以北野武真正的啟蒙老師是⋯⋯Lenny Bruce?
选材很好，也的确呈现了日本民间艺术的变化，从小剧场到大剧院再到大电视，舞台人命运的起落让人感慨万千。但是电影除了缅怀师父，以及贡献了一段平行剪辑舞蹈外，也不剩下什么了。喜剧演员到底是迎合观众还是教育观众，这个多次提到的关键矛盾完全没有深入的分析，使得电影无法从一众传记片中脱颖而出。
给柳乐优弥的演技多半分～铃木姐姐真好看啊，另外音乐很棒
3星半。是那种完全没有野心的作品。既没有关注剧场生活前的不堪童年，也没有谈到最终成名的经历，反而将故事放在了学习短剧的历程。甚至阿武都更像是描写师父的线索人物，大泉洋的深见三千郎的人物在设计上明显更具戏剧感和人物弧光。整个电影都非常轻松，充满温暖的气质。有沮丧的时刻，却没有真的低谷。没去刻意按照励志的套子写贡献了舒服的观感，但也因为温馨的回忆般的视角让整个故事除了师徒情深、剧场人互相关心，并没有更深的立意。倒是行至结尾，那段背影长镜头梦回剧场，拍得非常动人。这才让人明白这不是【浅草小子】，而是浅草小子的《我的老师》。整部电影更多是靠演技撑起的，柳乐优弥演得实在太好了。最惊喜的是看短评才知道连最后的老年也是柳乐优弥演出。
太常规了，想到是北野武的故事就显得更加常规了。
真正的浅草小子不是北野武，而是一直在浅草的北野武师父。柳乐弥优演北野武很使劲，斜着眼抽抽还是很像的。不管是相声还是漫才，有的人技术很好但没有创作的能力，有的人技术普通但创作灵感爆棚。北野武独树一帜的创作方向确实首开先河，但没有他师父教授的基础可能还需要折腾几年。况且，他师父对他真的很不错。可惜阿武有能力反哺的时候 师父却遭遇意外。有点侯耀文和郭德纲的感觉。铃木保奈美依然动人。
铃木保奈美！也太美了！！！
我还挺喜欢的。感情很真。有些地方的处理是有点儿水。但够了。力使七分。
浅草老油条北野武。
85分/看完电影后翻了北野武的生平，不得不说确实是传奇般的一生。
师父就是心太急了，死了火葬场会火化的，何必自己点火呢
