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'.

真的好温柔的故事 会让人觉得生活很美好的作品
酷帅的马面大人出独立剧情了好耶，夏目里的夏天总是这么温暖清新
简简单单的治愈小故事，夏目友人帐总能让人心情愉悦。
真的好温柔啊，三美的笃定和坚持，岩铁的傲娇和鼓励，所有的小妖怪在这场祭典中追逐，却在三美成功「唤石」后为TA鼓掌，太温柔了。
夏目的剧情不重要，重要的是夏目的存在，只要存在就是美好。
年底一部片救活一整年
越来越低龄傻白了。每次新作都一如既往让夏目重复那些孤独但温暖的独白+穿插回忆杀，这么多年了，只能让人觉得一点成长都没有，恰情怀吃相有点难看哦。all夏的cp炒烂了，开始给田沼安cp了吗，刻意卖腐、太尬了。编剧江郎才尽，两个平庸寡淡的TV小故事凑一起就好意思叫做剧场版？【黑田崇矢声音真好听 过去几季加起来台词都没这么多 加一星】
为了喜欢的人而去努力靠近，而对方也怀着同样的心情去等待的感觉真是再温柔不过
“热闹并不代表充实”
PS：娘口三三的戏份太少了，怎么说都是此系列作最“大牌”的配角(木有之一)，这两个故事基本都在打酱油。。。那和其他配角还有啥区别。。。强烈建议新系列加大三三的戏份哈！
讲真，第七季真的不考虑出一下吗？？？好忧桑，望眼欲穿，不知道能不能活久见🥲🥲🥲
森林冰火人×
真好啊，这部作品。永远给你胃里暖暖的感觉。片尾曲很好听，很温柔。
弱小丑陋的我，也能得到赏识 热闹不代表充实
最爱的夏目，最爱的三三，最能治愈心灵的动画
被朋友拉开差距的感觉很痛苦。
两个单集合并。他不去考虑弱或强，是否能胜任，而是单纯回应他者对自己的期待；斑老师一语点醒梦中人，にぎやかだから満たされているとも限るまい…
比较一般，不是一个故事线的，而且片长很短，所以也讲不细，像是番外，画风很好
如果在高三能出第七季，那一定是心灵支柱了
善良和友情。貌似每一集都是这几个话题，但我还是十分中意这种感觉。
