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'.

看过之后都没有写影评的欲望，突然刷到才想起半年前看过这部完整的电影。韩寒的思想总是与众不同，看过之后更多的是压抑和茫然。逼迫我们去认识并接受真实的世界，孤独和事与愿违才是人间常态。
前后剧情太割裂，前半部是不好笑的喜剧，后半部如各位所说是青春疼痛文学，前后衔接太差。其次是人物都没立起来，一张张熟脸轮番上场，但没几个是剧情真正需要的。不过我倒是觉得大家都在吐槽的刘浩存没那么糟，至少是及格了的。
节奏很慢，但是真的有甜到！学园祭阳台看气球，真得太浪漫了！青春真好呀！环奈酱好可爱～～！结局也好甜啊呜呜呜
单纯为了pyzy和qbhn看的 宝什么时候能再上剧啊啊啊😭
死刑的执行流畅的都有点意外，做好了思想准备，还是没想到。
很明显，我概念中的含早是含早餐的意思。如同这个概念不同一般，我对韩寒导演想表达的概念也不同，仅看出一个青春过气疼痛文学了。
2.5/5 比第一部好太多，奉心祭气球告白有被惊喜到，后半部分的节奏比前半部分好，但不妨碍尴尬依旧。ED五人跳恋降る月夜に君想ふ才发现佐野勇斗真的好高（鹤立鸡群。
表演真的很赞，之前肯定看过男主的其他作品，也是压抑昏暗残酷的类型，导致我对他这张脸pstd。
说真的，一开始还是比较尬，但是越往后越好。
能明显感觉到韩寒过时了 不论是抖包袱还是玩情怀 都踩不对點
一个良知尚存的小知识分子在专制社会中的挣扎和毁灭之路。
每一步剧情推进都好做作好没头没尾噢…而且我真的忍不了这个演员每次都和漂亮女演员搭感情戏，他真的好丑…
怀念可以在电影院看的紫耀，结尾主题歌响起依然泪目。
记住了最后燃炉大门的关闭。
在我这比第一部好（更别说看的晚～原著也～懂都懂😂😂😂）单独夸夸结尾部分，烟火晚会上的气球，就这一段真的很有少女漫的感觉！！！几个好看的空镜，成功让我原谅了之前的不满，哈哈哈哈而且有的片段还挺好笑的 这部更适合磕cp下饭
真是没想到，意外的好看。小天使的颜太能打了。1.5倍速看正正好
很明显，我概念中的含早是含早餐的意思。如同这个概念不同一般，我对韩寒导演想表达的概念也不同，仅看出一个青春过气疼痛文学了。
太喜欢这类关于东德的政治影片了，从《窃听风暴》来，高分佳片，看得我前面高度凝神，后面泪流满面，时代的悲歌
真人版还是有点尬，但是这一部的优点是结尾，喜剧就应该这样结尾，这才是大小姐的作风，感谢导演这样拍。
平凡故事应该平凡的结尾 凹个这么虐的结尾 给一星不委屈韩寒
