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'.

在抖音被陈数的一段讲话视频感动到才买票，去了感觉有些失望，剧情特效都不是我所期望的。
剧情煽情都很到位 同时借鉴了国外的个人英雄主义 就是镜头和特效还是弱了很多
期待满满的进去，一脑瓜子问号出来……最怕动作片安插强行煽情片段，剧本也一言难尽，表演也一言难尽，动作也一言难尽，只有灾难场面看得出是花钱了，值两分不能更多了
灾难片最重要的特效很烂，经费不足的样子，剧情也就停留在拼命煽情和喊口号了，主角父子跟开挂一样各种逆天…题材倒是挺新颖的…
乡土灾难片，又亲切又震撼。中国式大片应该有的样子
基本上是一部青春喜剧片应有的样子，喜欢重金属的朋友们应该会在电影中小小的激动一下，毕竟摇滚不死！
俗套，尴尬，特效也完全没有令人惊艳的感觉，既不刺激也不感人，实属一般。

Cello也能metal 太酷了 很爽的青春片 War pig是要出圈了吗
1. 看的点映。 2. 大场面特效很不错， 但是文戏太拉垮了， 微微尬。 不想给8分，7分还凑合。 3. 看完觉得 朱一龙真的有在好好演戏，佩服。
不太算灾难片吧，选择和温情的地方居多，家国大义的赶脚。
不出所料 被强按头煽情 片尾寥寥数语比正片震撼系列 一星给铁道兵 一星给我陈数
小伙子帅呆了，这要是在80年代，估计就是国际巨星了。在遭遇了一系列的倒霉后，终于在舞台上找到自己。
尴尬到抠脚，事关十几万人性命的事情，最后安炸药只有两个本不应该干这事的人干。请问其他人是死绝了么，你们就算人送不上去，给他们补补装备也行吧，真看着他们徒手爬啊。
场面和演员都还行，最大的问题是导演。整个起的太猛太急，缺少铺垫，以至于对后来保隧道还是救百姓的纠结十分错愕。大场面在前半程放鞭炮一样炸完，导致后半程含情量太高，很不适应。主角配角面对绝境的表现过于镇静，像是郊游时偶尔摔一跤，完全不像是生死时刻。主角选择牺牲的时机很奇怪，逻辑上就无法认同。
我们的人生只有一次可以这样胡闹的青春
作为中国铁建的业主被邀请观影的，感谢中国铁建！但是作为影片来讲很一般，强行煽情、感动的部分只靠台词、特效较假、最后结尾朱一龙不是牺牲了更能符合主题吗？为什么突然打了鸡血一样跳了起来，前期放完炸弹虚弱的不行，后期满血复活？
中国速度、中国技术、中国亲情、中国故事，都是催泪弹，这源于现实生活的文学作品，才真真能打动人心。
0912首映 ｜ 比想象中好得多，前半段每个人物的状态都很准确（可能除了高端指挥部），节奏起得飞快，文戏铺得见缝插针，基本都立得住。有几个视觉效果真是很震撼……后半段稍有点潦草了，不过歌谣起来那段还是蛮好哭的。朱一龙黄志忠稳定发挥，陈数气场全开，焦俊艳超绝可爱我好喜欢小靳！！！！
好难得见美式青春这么正常的主角团了……（相对）
