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'.

年轻版《违命》，然而这部的宗教只让人性冷淡。能看出一些其它les片的影子，舍弃已成为定番的激烈性爱只拥抱热吻，是一种进步。
什么狗屁宗教，生日还不给过了，一天到晚憧憬新世界上天堂，男的一个个家务活不做在家跟大爷似的下地狱去吧。。。女主角J上大学旅游涨见识，女主角M结婚生子满面腊黄留海都油得塌下来了，快跑吧。。。
喂！两个人能不能先各自回去把各自的老公现女友了结一下？太渣了好不好？
贤二妈妈家里几个亲戚是《大奥》里的搞笑三人组吧，属于是梦幻联动了属于是，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
触到滴不仅仅是手，是对彼此滚烫滴渴望，性的张力在此处爆炸。
前期暧昧拉扯真是到极致了，氛围感很绝。但是，后面的苦情重逢是闹哪样？执手相看泪眼，“我一直在想你”“我也是”，然后一个继续安然结婚生娃，另一个身边也不缺人。。。（不知为何，对宗教尤没有好感
虽然Jaime是影片叙事围绕的主体，但Marike人物形象跟成长轨迹更为完整。在生活里，所有的人都是妄图成为Jaime的Marike，向往那种干脆清晰、冷静果断，而自己只能不断自我拉扯、自我否定又自我确证，往往最后一步是需要极强的信念和孤注一掷的勇气的。
好多好吃的啊，日常的生活，人活着，先满足喜欢的胃，一起赏樱花，风动，情动，相守的日常
很平淡的爱情故事，宗教信仰在片中的作用被淡化，无关宗教，其实就是讲少女之间的爱情，前半部分情感很细腻，然而时代背景下的爱情结局总会是背叛。
（摇头）“我每时每刻都在想你，你呢？”
“史朗，你说过年只有你和我一起过也不错，我听到以后真的很开心；还有，你说好害怕我生病死掉的时候，我也很高兴……我一直在想，能像这样一直和你在一起，真的非常幸福，但你和我不能只有彼此而已，我们不可能光靠自己活下去，所以，你跟父母的感情要变得更好喔……”，“贤二，我想跟走在这里的每个人炫耀你的好！”，“你学我——”
现实的主线，处理与家人的关系，没有强求改变。贤二变得更帅了，只不过还是分开睡的吗？？？
建议分成四次观看，回到看剧的节奏就挺好，在没有啥戏剧冲突下，加上阳叔老爷们过度脑补撒娇，两小时看下来还是有点吃不消
贤二说 跟男朋友去京都旅行是少女的憧憬 之后立刻去挑内裤 啊哈哈哈哈哈哈笑死 美食很好看 也直面了家庭问题 内野圣阳穿条纹西装一秒破功 啊哈哈哈哈哈哈
结构挺完整 不过还是作为剧的节奏更好些 3.5星
故事比较简单，电影院和浴缸受洗那段我个人认为最佳，其他部分乏善可陈。
好多好吃的啊，日常的生活，人活着，先满足喜欢的胃，一起赏樱花，风动，情动，相守的日常
我就是这么晚才找到资源！无脑五星！太好看了好甜好惹泪
很平淡，但你会相信他们一定会永远在一起，直至老去。
私心想给四星，演员的演技可以加一星，但是电影本身顶多三星吧。这片的俩女主很大程度上不是因为什么宗教势力的外在压迫而分开的，更深层的原因是因为信仰不同、追求的生活方式不同。所以有人说这片俗套在属于被外力强行分开的苦情ntxl那类电影其实不太对。但是这片的问题也蛮多的，感情的展开没有头绪，主角的内心着墨太少，莫名其妙推进多，俗套街头亲吻被撞见也有，故事本身也太单薄没有新意。相比之下，同样涉及宗教和女同性恋题材的《橘子不是唯一的水果》要厚重有味道得多，人物更复杂立体，不过毕竟后者是获奖无数的作家监制的剧嘛…
