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'.

生活过得浑浑噩噩谁又不是在修行呢。一听到刺耳的搅拌的声音就要崩溃的感觉！痛苦的煎熬啊！看不下去。。。台湾现在这些貌似现实主义题材的电影实在是不太好看，虽然之前也有看过很多台湾名导拍的这种题材的电影，还好不至于看不下去。。。这个有点儿太刺激了！闹心
欧洲片 从生活中 到生活里去 二陈好演技 陈湘琪太棒了 湾湾最好女演员
中年妇女的内心世界，没有出口，只好自己做一个假的
很好奇丈夫出轨的小三是怎么被害成这个样子的，头上还有做开颅手术的疤痕。
其实电源质感还不错，导演把演员调教的也可以，就是剧本一言难尽，导演适合去拍龙虾刑警那类片子
没什么剧情，但笑点还是有一些的
王彦霖张雪峰的组合太有笑果了，电影里的花式成精物品也都有着独具特色的喜剧气质
故事好对我胃口，拍的也挺美。但可能还是有点太想讲清楚了，展现了太多逻辑性的线索和细节，就少了很多情感上说不清道不明的感觉。好可惜啊，那种抓不住的只能凭感觉的暧昧情愫才应该是影视化的魅力所在。（没想到会看到优子，有点感动+惊喜。真好啊，演技进步了好多，已经是立派的演员了啊）
电影这个角度太有趣了，好多时候我们都会和身边的东西对话，一个宠物，一个玩偶。当这个可爱的习惯变成“超能力”之后，仿佛掉进了漫画的世界。作者和编剧脑洞太太太大了。
故事特别好，就是有些台词好尴尬，男女主演技也尴尬。。。。
笑点密集，无法自控。日常如果我也这么幻想可能真被人送医院了，毕竟被雷劈得能看到静物说话的应该也找不出第二个了
设定确实很有趣，但是这个剧情是什么鬼啊！！而且最后结尾的戏码真的很老套，吃点溜溜梅吧
看完还算愉快，几首歌都挺好听的呢。
挺做作的一部電影。又不致於難看，就是不疼不癢平平無奇的看完。做作的原因是鏡頭或某些畫面都有意無意想暗示主角的想法，但又不到位，挺尷尬和幫不到劇情推進。女主角用力演出但可惜遇著一個一般般的劇本。陳以文發揮不多，但也演出恰到好處，能演繹那種矛盾加一點點頹廢的中年男人心情。
补标，烂的没想到要标！
当年看了《回光奏鸣曲》 印象很深，这部片子男主角的感觉有点欠缺了，有些可惜了陈以文的演技，但是还是喜欢他描写女性的感觉
看完后感觉阿震的生活太有趣了，一夜之间万物都可以沟通，连马桶都活了，生活不再乏味和孤独
剧情很儿戏，最致命的是被短视频提前耗光了惊喜度——本片确实唯一的好看部分在于和静物对话这一设定。另外标签里居然有“爱情”哦，但是王彦霖和焦俊艳真的没有任何CP感，望周知。
