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'.

天边的月 心中的念
什么他妈的情感细腻，这他妈叫仗着片儿短！
吴京真的好华为；子怡走起主旋律来也是很华为；我喜欢徐峥这个故事，让我一个半路出家的广告人很感慨；沈腾也不是每次发挥都正常，这次明显太烂。你敢信都2050年的机器人了居然没有小型核聚变充电设施没有防水措施充电还要靠红旗。
就章子怡那段还可以。沈腾那段，我唯一看到的，就是深圳的孩子太卷了。
死亡是验证生命的东西
告诉你/燃料是点燃自己/照亮别人的东西/
还……行吧……
前两个故事劲儿太大了…我姐说下次跟我一起看电影得帮我带条毛巾🌝第一个故事：我可能真的看不了抗日战争😭，血肉之躯和冷兵器对长枪短炮太虐了，还有弟弟滤镜，我哭的比吴京还厉害；第二个故事：是有惊喜的，故事感人，光影动人，时代变迁、科技进步都是无数科学家前赴后继写成的光明的诗，愿所有的付出不被世界辜负。第三第四个故事就是大家熟知的徐峥沈腾，情绪拉回国庆档。沈叔叔太可爱了，对他也有滤镜哈哈哈😄小演员都很棒～
《诗》用浪漫的方式道出了生命的终极意义；《鸭先知》海派幽默风格，都很喜欢。其他两部分就算了吧
开天辟地的爷爷辈父辈，看到今天的殖人买办孙子们，不知道会怎么想？
“我和我的”就像是续集，一部不如一部。这部作品里的四个故事时代不同，风格各异，但创作意图和拍摄手法千差万别。个人心目中好看程度排序为：章子怡，徐峥，麻花，吴京。也许是女性视角，《诗》的故事完成度最好，情感细腻，更容易产生共情感，也能深深体会到那一代科研人的不易和奉献；《鸭先知》表现手法有些荒诞夸张，不过情感融通较好；麻花那趴就是一个大个的小品，有笑点但略有偏题；《乘风》单元我个人不喜欢，首先视角就是反的，剧情漏洞较多，煽情过于刻意，英雄主义比较明显，战斗场面在这样的短篇中显得仓促。
我想告诉你世间的一切奥秘
这个反而觉得如果篇幅可以给到常规电影的长度，会更好，把航天故事赋予了浪漫主义，也是，能有什么比探索宇宙更浪漫的。章子怡执导看得出很多青涩，但真的好过沈腾。
此外，这些故事里那些（校园）霸凌是什么意思？主旋律作品就拍这些？我看一些人完全就不知道什么样的作品适合未成年人，还这也影响未成年，那也有不良影响，都下架，都删减，可最后呈现的有过之无不及……
藉此也向我的父辈致敬，你们是世界上最好的爸爸妈妈！
你曾苦过我的甜，
确实是这个系列最不感触的，开头看了会就直接跳徐峥和沈腾了，希望2050年回顾，也能这么感动
前两短片还行，后三可以算拉跨。这样拼凑的作品，还要放大荧幕，哎。。。
《鸭先知》很搞笑啊，上海复古风，画面色调很饱满鲜艳。
很喜欢《诗》和《鸭先知》两部。《诗》的叙述质朴、深情而有留白，令人感动；《鸭先知》里的爸爸不仅有看到商机的远见，而且勇敢执着地实践自己的设想。这样敢创天下先的人们成就了社会发展历程中的佳话传奇。任何一个时代的发展进步，都离不开这样的开拓者的勇气和付出。
