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'.

我们每个努力生活的人都是笨小孩，新年一起期待和创造奇迹🎇
今天是祖国的生日，特地去看了《长津湖》，在电影院边看脑海里边想，战争太残酷了，今天的幸福生活多么来之不易，志愿军战士们，这个盛世如你们所愿！
境由心生。
深圳到温州的动车票52块钱一张，绿皮车都不够吧。
后半段让人在电影院狂哭不止…整个电影的叙事都非常让人感到舒适，一些小小的笑点也恰到好处。描述小人物的故事，重在细节，描绘出了一个年轻人的创业沉浮，其实也是在描绘每个人的浮浮沉沉。易烊千玺的演技我已经愿称一句“老戏骨”了，各种隐忍、挫败、倔强表现的淋漓尽致，爆发力足够好，演的也足够正确。
很标准。和药神相比没有少什么，没有的东西一直没有。
前段剪辑凌乱，
太长了，剧情却不饱满。很多感情戏真的没必要。所以槽点太多了。看得我想回家再看一遍那人那兔那些事里面抗美援朝那一集。东北是真特么冷。那些士兵要去打别人的仗真的不容易。
最后结尾有点拉胯，中间部分还是文牧野的风格
不懂历史 但是好惨啊 革命烈士的丰功伟绩创造了我们的平安盛世
四星半，的确是一个“奇迹”，另一种意义上的“雄狮少年”，残酷暖伤又乐观坚强，体验了世间的恶也感受到人间的善意，这不仅是一个南方打工仔的传奇经历——一如既往的文牧野，许多熟面孔，小人物的集体抗争逆袭，也把生活骨感残酷的一面揭开给人看，为了救妹妹吃尽苦头的穷苦少年令人心疼，幸运的是每个人最后都获得了救赎（或许这就是最好的结局吧），欣慰的是千玺更成熟了，这么复杂的角色hold住一点没问题（比《少年的你》更上层楼）——bug也很多，难以想象假如最后质检不合格或者大boss腹黑不讲理，这一群人的努力不都全打水漂了嘛（再次陷入万劫不复的深渊），结局显然是妥协与为了某种平衡——既抚慰了观众也迎合了市场和主旋律，理想化一切苦难是不现实的，最后感觉这个故事以纪录片的形式呈现或许更合适，真实的力量往往胜过一切。
没创过业的觉得成功凭借的是一个睿智看懂商机的个人英雄，创过业的都知道成功无非是有一群有情有义的朋友在咬紧牙关拼命熬
按照我自己的想法，我真的会给电影三星，但因为和长津湖一起看下来，觉得弟弟值得四星，真正的同一个演员的剧抛脸。电影里的景浩，实在是普普通通的平凡人，差点就被生活打败了，因为他的性格结交的朋友在关键时刻撑住了他。成功学的弊病就是，电影没看完就知道他一定会成功，所以尽管为亲情的付出感动的稀里哗啦，也在某种程度的情感共鸣上保持了警惕。景浩不常有，好景也不常在。
我真实会打三星，但这会儿在气头上，我就半天假期呀！给两星，等我气消了再来改分吧。
只有打一仗，才能让惹事的知道和平可贵。
生活远比电影里演的更加艰难。既得利益者总是高傲地俯视着受苦受难的人，只有同样深陷泥沼的人才愿意伸出援手
“20”
我朝的战争戏总是这种飞机大炮噼里啪啦乱打一通，再辅以将士们壮烈牺牲的催泪场面。有时候展现战争的残酷不一定非得这样。
导演拍的很用心，很喜欢感恩节美军在吃大餐志愿军在吃冻土豆的对比镜头。作为后辈感谢前辈们为我们流下的血与泪。
一个狠而又幸运的人的故事，其实希望最后没有什么CEO的…
