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'.

“咱们才是一伙的”，满座跑火车的葛大爷说的大实话怎么就没人信呢。
工于设局 但不善解谜 重大剧情推进要靠台词我也是醉了 还不如让许愿一路历险 有女郎 有前辈 有宿敌 做个中原·琼斯来的痛快……
结尾看得人生气，但确实不是每个正义都能被伸张
除了直白地展现了人性本恶和最后反转时薛景求的表演 片中的逻辑漏洞多得像筛子
太坏了太坏了！里面很多金牌配角。韩国拍霸凌有一套啊。为人父母，恶出底线。抱娃在腿上看完。22.6.9
其实挺好看的，所有的剧情都能猜到，但又来几个反转让你意想不到。所以这样的模式设定就又有点公式化了。
。。。所以他爷爷把真品给了日本人，日本人也觉得自己拿到的是真品，但是他爷爷让中国人以为他把假的给了日本人，问：他爷爷到底是不是汉奸？仗打完了，解放了，文革结束了，他们家宁愿当汉奸依然没把秘密告诉任何人，怎么着老朝奉比国安局还牛逼呗。他爹设计那么老半天，结果找了个寂寞，还差点儿把命搭上，哦，葛大爷是真的把命搭上了，问：老子没事儿耍儿子开心么。葛大爷自称打过鬼子，五十年过去了，葛大爷依然年轻，问：葛大爷用的哪款面膜？
让我想到一部双城计中计
看这部电影我一直在哭，她们曾试着反抗世俗，但最终却依旧被世俗打败了。这部电影我感到遗憾以及感动。感动李咏蓝为心悦延续梦想，感动心悦与咏蓝在校礼堂结婚，与咏蓝在操场上接吻。遗憾咏蓝的悔过书，遗憾最后…她们没在一起
辛芷蕾发型好好看。她那个角色是为什么要和她爷爷对着干？
镜头 剪辑 配乐都不错，两个女主很漂亮很般配了拍的非常唯美，就是剧情过于青春疼痛了。无论如何，对一个女同说你永远是我最好的朋友并请她当伴娘都是杀人诛心
3.2星。非原著党表示及格。1.葛优雷佳音靠演技给本片增光添彩，笑点基本都是二人贡献。2.开篇鉴宝比赛的动画效果做的挺炫。3.据说剧本和原著差别很大，最大的槽点就是，一顿操作猛如虎，最后许愿亲手锤了他爷是XX？4.有人吐槽李现台词不及葛优雷佳音，多少有点吹毛求疵，一个是人设就是一本正经讲话不流气的海归，再一个和葛优比台词，试问中国演员又有几人能赢呢？5.许愿的本事和谁学的？许愿他爷这招“曲线救国”性价比有多低？药不然真正目的到底是什么？都不够清楚深入。6.所以老朝奉是谁？不会和唐人街探案里的Q一样是个组织吧。。。
至少在反转前，剧情足够引起生气情绪。但这个反转还是有些剧情没有衔接上
会为青春时美好的样子动容，但不会再为莫名其妙的小脾气与不负责任的自私找到原谅的借口。
典型的韩国类型片 是优势也成了束缚
校园凌霸，最后的反转，受害者也变成施暴者了。可惜自杀的那位受害者的正义在父爱面试到底不是那么正义了
剧本有点烂。谈善言、廖子妤，最近发现的宝藏演员。
在本片中，正义不是通过正当的方式获得的，而是通过人性博弈的方式，这很残酷，也很符合现实。
至少在反转前，剧情足够引起生气情绪。但这个反转还是有些剧情没有衔接上
好看，马伯庸目前可说成功的影视改编（嗯，加上电视剧）。
