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'.

你真的觉得你正在观看一家高端餐厅的现场录像，试图在忙碌的夜晚将所有东西都放在一起。
一镜到底，大家都演技都很好，真的很紧张，那个过敏一出，我就知道要出事了，最后主厨倒在了热闹的餐厅角落，还是很有感觉的。
作为月红党，没有任何一对CP能比得上月红，生于人和妖冲突的乱世，他们不得不服从命运，不得不走向最悲壮的结局，但是爱情千疮百孔依旧强大。月红2就讲了这么一个故事，60分钟满满的精华，强推强推
这真的是2021年的电影吗？画质怎么退后了十年？还有这画风
画风不太适应，不过有的看终归是好的，继续努力。
画风完全变了，剧情有点水，台词也很差。但是最后的BGM还是让人不禁泪流满面。
“嫁给我吧，妖仙姐姐”，战地求婚我能吹一辈子！
一镜到底本身就足够考验场面调度力和演员功底一个半小时里只讲了很小的一件事而且这个剧本的难度处理是很高的，乱中有序，大胆又精致
涂山苏苏可爱到爆，涂山红红美爆炸了。小版红红和苏苏都好可爱啊，被宠爱的人都很可爱
这一篇实在是太虐了，但是真的好好看啊！！！国漫崛起辽！！
一镜到底是种形式 用在这一个混乱的晚上实在是适合不过了
这真的是2021年的电影吗？画质怎么退后了十年？还有这画风
那个，涂山转世续缘不是只要一半妖力就行了吗，为什么涂山红红要押上全部妖力还有记忆？
按照原动漫，五十年后的东方月初已经很老了，为了节目效果返老还童。
私心期望月红可以有一个美好的结局，但这样是不是就没有白苏了呀
算是一个填坑的剧场版，就是画风有点变了不太适应。
两首歌也好好听。
感觉加了层灰蒙蒙的滤镜，一个小时的时长，内容量就20分钟的样子。其实我是在月红篇里找涂山雅雅和东方月初的互动，惩恶扬善双使这一对欢喜冤家才有趣。
这个故事如果你放在四年前我可能会觉得还不错
挺好看的，完美诠释了欧洲顶级厨师的能力和压力
