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'.

动作戏还行。有《黄飞鸿之英雄有梦》的即视感，结尾的烟花明显致敬了北京奥运会的大脚印。
解闷儿...谢苗打的够狠，片子整体质量也还行。可惜武打片式微，只能做网大
有代入感，能点燃愤慨，对这样的电影我不会苛求太多。
韩国人行道红灯人还站着不走，是不是车都直接撞上去的，这个车祸有点太敷衍了吧
反电信诈骗的题材不错，但黑中的老毛病还是不少😅
抛开夹带私货 还可以 反正韩国片嘛 除了黑朝鲜就是黑中国呗
最近谢苗是铁了心努力拍网大，质量不行数量凑，总会碰到个不错的剧本，结果还真被他遇见了，可喜可贺
有些惊艳吧，开篇的两个镜头是真正的电影镜头，靠画面及镜头推动剧情，已经可以看出网大的进步了，画面整体质感在线，演员演技在线，这个片子已经可以看出具备院线电影的底子了。片子明显能感觉到导演是真的在认真思考，最后的台词通篇看下来明显可以感受到，导演是站在现在的角度，来回看历史长河中林则徐当时的心境。给4分为这个片子认真的态度及用新的动作戏的形式来让我接受“历史正剧”。
有谢晋导演的《鸦片战争》珠玉在前，后面再怎么拍都觉得差点意思。历史还是那段历史，电影却不是以前的电影了，只能当武打动作片看看了。
动不动就黑中国，别说什么玻璃心，黑的真恶心
个人感觉还不错，剧情紧凑不拖拉，男主没有光环被打的还挺惨，警察不能说猪队友但还是得有男主助攻才能打掉团伙真是气愤，整个诈骗团伙狼性精神真是可怕，用在正途上不好吗？目测会有第二部，有点期待更加黑化的小伙子。
中国部分是在西安拍的，雾霾，电信诈骗，这导演是在西安生活过吧
这片子不打五星？虽然有些瑕疵，比如在中国的部分场景问题，但这片的现实意义远比流浪，狼等要深远。信息怎么会泄露的，为什么那么陌生电话找你给你贷款给你各种福利？你的个人信息被卖了一次又一次！最后那位总结的很好，陌生电话提钱的，不要相信。希望大家都能看一看。
武打片看的是个爽，这个就像是没有任何剧情铺垫的特级情se片。
男主各种拼了老命都感觉很废的样子到底是为什么...全程无语“哈？就这？”，无论是犯罪部分还是抓人部分都挺像过家家...金武烈演挺好...
“你害怕了！你害怕回忆从前。你害怕。你在意的人 在你面前死去。”
非要耍些小动作
又一部网大，还行，能看，就是决战稍微打得尴尬草率了点。本来想给三星的，结果你这么个题材片尾曲来首嘻哈，给我整吐了。
谢苗直接担纲还是过于年轻，缺少戏骨的驾轻就熟，文戏用力过度。林大人的演员是谁选的？一脸贪污相，一身反派戏。
