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'.

“我们在一起，以年为单位，以白头偕老为目的，以你为主语，这就是爱情。”
剧本bug不断，逻辑硬伤太多。看个热闹，看个寂寞!
安志杰蛮帅的，女主演也不错，网片而言算是合格又敬业
本来这个周要一起看的电影，最后还是自己看了。
83'妈妈：我这辈子过成啥个样子跟任何人都没得关系，你呢？就过好你自己的，也不要觉得啥个事情都是原生家庭给你造成的。回重庆，留北京，去外地都可以，谈不谈恋爱，生不生娃儿都随你。一个人的时候啊怎么高兴怎么过
他们一起合租，养猫又养狗，是谁在狠狠羡慕？
挺现实主义，不难看，不狗血，没啥新意和深度，但也算诚意之作。第一幕美好，流畅度最好，第二幕心累，也还OK，第三幕大可不必。如果是CP-BE我能给五星。其实纵观故事，感觉男女主都没什么问题，就只是错误的时间不能妥善处理爱情，评论里骂渣男的是不是有点厌男了。
跨年观影的一种选择。实感且沉浸的体验——从在大城市打拼工作的背景到情侣吵架的种种细节，总能有一些情节能刺痛到人。工作和感情是可以二者兼得的吗？在两人矛盾不可开交的时候经得起回首初心吗？这部电影像是都市爱情的一面镜子，它窥探到了许多人的真实故事。
看了120秒以后我就知道这是烂片了，谢谢他没有浪费我的时间，所以给两颗星。
打戏还不错，剧情比较俗套，小丑女还有点意思
毛晓彤美得冒泡！好多剧情撑不起来！最后的什么失物招领还有所谓创业就是个笑话
因为安志杰，给4星，他很努力了，太太需要一部自己的代表作了
道具组很不走心，男女主还行。BUG一堆，镜头给人很怪的感觉。
花五十块钱看你俩谈恋爱好累，好幼稚，简直就是加长版MV
怎么说，都2022了贵国产编剧写异性恋还是无聊到每分钟都能让人打哈欠啊。以及女主角一定得陷入歇斯底里爆发才能让男主看到问题也太…stereotypical了吧…还非得搞个阿may出现来雌竞【虽然知道是国产套路了还是yawn*
这要是日韩版的估计能更好看很多！
没钱的时候别去养宠物！！！工作与爱情的平衡是一个超级大的值得去探索的问题！！！任何口头的承诺还不如实际做的每一件事给的安全感靠谱！！！编导设计的结尾类似于乌托邦的爱情，但谁又不想兜兜转转还是那个他/她呢。
女二是孙千啊，乍一眼我都没认出来
竟然复合了 拳头硬了 这个片子唯一的优点就是真实 因为男人就是这么的不负责任
这一部电影有一个特点，从开头到结尾的打戏戏份都很多，而且每一个片段都不含糊，细节处理的很好，男主安志杰每一次出现，都是一次高能镜头，他真的太能打了。
