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'.

太真挚了，溢出屏幕的爱和温柔，看完好心疼贾玲…值得称赞的除了真诚，还有里面的每个女性都散发着个人魅力，它不来自外表，而是由内而外的光辉，女导演拍女性果然不一样。第一次在电影院听到女孩子哇地一声哭出来，还说真的忍不住了…带妈妈一起去看的，妈妈也哭，可能是想外婆了吧。如果真的能穿越，就算世界上会不再有我，也希望妈妈和外婆能过上更好更快乐的人生，毕竟她们一直跟我说的也是：你健康快乐就好。😭她们真的太好了，她们值得拥有更好。
对于贾玲来说已经很好了，但对于电影本身来说，还是略显粗糙，也许是因为年代久远的关系吧！
但如果给我机会，我也想穿回去，不顾一切阻止她的一些决定，因为她本可以拥有更好的人生。
看唐探3口碑有些扑街，就去看了这个。穿越题材已经不新鲜了，刚开始轻松猜出接下来的发展，导致中间睡着了半小时，后面母女双穿越还算有些新意。但是让穿越者接受自己穿越的事实转换太过生硬。后面发现李焕英也是穿越过来的在奔跑中回忆和自己母亲点点滴滴有些强行煽情。看贾玲演电影总感觉是在演小品，看她哭总有些出戏，同是小品出身的沈腾和张小斐演电影就比她自然。
就是做得好，拍得好，没别的。台词太细致了，演员太好了（陈赫差一点，但那个人物很可爱），情绪反应逻辑太恰当了，能有这么好的效果是下了苦工还搭上了自己的人生。活该贾玲票房第一。贾玲棒！祝贾玲实现一切人生梦想！
其实原来小品还行，把小品硬拉到一部电影还是有一些折损和硬伤的
之前看过类似主题的香港老电影，讲的是父子，这一版是母女，且没想到的是母亲的角色上设置更为精巧。结尾落泪，妈妈也曾经是个花季少女，要珍惜要好好去爱啊。居然在这部电影中隐隐get到了陈赫的帅点。
喜欢贾玲，但是电影导的真不行。 拥有所有烂片的共同点:故事的推动没有核心逻辑，纯粹的段子拼凑，段子还都俗套的要命。最后还要强行煽情，贾玲的演技也崩了。
看了影评后，特意约妈妈一起看的。可能因为被一定程度地剧透了，所以前面很多暗示的小细节哭得比较厉害，发现妈妈也穿越了那里反而平静了许多。看完后跟妈妈散步回家，聊了我和她，也聊了她和外婆，算是成年后聊得最深入的一次。妈妈为了这个家庭真的牺牲了很多，希望自己以后能尽可能地让她快乐。
用能留下最长久的形式追忆纪念最爱的人
虽然非常抗拒情感炸弹，但看着贾玲从心底涌出的泪水很难不被打动，整部电影就是一场私人祭奠，她做这些不是为了让你笑让你哭，也不是为了成为什么票房冠军，她只想宣泄再也无处投递的不舍爱意
贾玲放了真感情进去，但导演技术还是稚嫩的，看到了不少影片的影子。还好是沈腾救了场，那个角色他演起来观众也还买账，但凡换个人演，就垮掉了。
没有很特别的摄制技巧，女导演视角下的女性温柔而有魅力，真正地以情动人。
贾玲在用这部电影服丧，完全能理解它为什么爆，足够真挚，特别是当保护者成为被保护者的刹那，确实很催泪。没哭，鼻子酸了一下。
想要通过作品释放自己的一些情绪、遗憾，是创作原动力的其中一种吧。看电影的时候，能感受到贾玲的这种释放，这也是我看这部电影最大的获得：从一个创作者的角度。
看完不得不再提起周杰伦的高光作品：双人穿越+反转剧情 再度证明单线时空旅行是最能让人共情的 / 当然破绽也很多 尤其不克制煽情 很希望结尾停在张小斐刚穿越落地时的回眸 / 但作为贺岁档且贾导非科班出生 能拍到这种程度也算很真情实感了
往常贾玲的小品都好无聊的，电影一直坚挺在8+，以为真因为自己对妈的真情实感，拍啥惊艳作品了。结果，，实在能力有限，天花板在那😐。
贾玲这么举重若轻、真情实感的戏，张小斐接住了，真棒。希望多一些这样的戏，让我们从喊“妈妈爱你”的粉丝，找回“爱你妈妈”的初心。
一颗星给贾玲的遭遇，电影笑点一般，情节无聊，
造成我人生中哭得最不行的一次看电影体验，就是可以哭厥过去的地步。
