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'.

最开始觉得有点虚结果一锤一锤夯实
就是一点不明白，五岁孩子失手杀人，根据法律该如何裁定责任？监管人该承担什么责任？这个悲剧能在多大程度上避免？
正因整个社.会习惯性的对一些声音置若罔闻，有能力者也习惯性的事不关己袖手旁观，才让施暴者总能逍遥法外，而受害者却要承受或许一生都难以愈合的创伤甚至干脆把命赔上。当谈及女人在整个社.会中要面临的处境时，它不仅仅只是女性意识的觉醒，更应该是整个社.会的反思。你希望自己的母亲或女儿能在怎样的环境下生活？希望她们被怎样对待？
立意还行但是女主演技太差，剧情也不丝滑，浪费我时间
甚至
3.5⭐还不错，节奏稍微有点诡异，尤其是女主的卡点定格笑。反应的社会现实问题也很令人揪心，在如此混乱的大环境下，普通人能做的只能是孤注一掷得牺牲自己，引起大家注意。希望有一天，女生们能真的站起来，站的更高，通过立法和改变社会风气，girl helps girl👧🏻不光是在印度。
电影意义更重要，女总理也像傀儡，秘书都能帮她做决定🤯
整体节奏还行，政治正确，但剧情略BUG，一整个印度拿一位妇女没办法
内容叙事上近乎于超现实的爽片，核心立意却极为尖锐与高端，是勇气十足的商业作品。
剧情夸张，硬塞了诸多无谓的戏剧冲突，想从头到尾吸引观众的目光是不能依靠这种幼稚手段的，这只会让人产生厌烦情绪而已，同样的弊病还出现在配乐的使用上，配乐一刻不停的电影，真是很难顶。
对Naina的一句话印象深刻: Do we just deserve a fucking candle march? 当悲剧发生的时候，政府又做了什么呢？不负责的警察，惩罚力度欠缺的法律，对受害者的忽视，只追表面报道误导大众的媒体……
直到最后才啪的把真相给你
虽然我很不喜欢印度，我也不希望他比中国更好
信息时代，我们不推崇走极端，寻求爆点，但有时候，出发点只是为民族某一方面的觉醒撕出一线光明。
介于3-4星之间，桑德拉·布鲁克已经很努力了
女性就算当上了总理 还是要看男人的脸色 还是会被性别歧视觉得女性就是情绪化的 看的我越来越生气 女主真的好勇敢好酷啊
主创们们为自己国家发现问题探讨问题的态度是值得肯定的，但看得出来他们是真的没有才华，刻意造作的镜头，尴尬突兀的配乐，让整部电影洋溢着低级（国产）感。
就冲阿三拍出这样的电影，尼玛到了最后再给你惊几下。步步升华，伦理上完美。
印度类型片，女性议题牛逼，希望有人效仿并祝成功！
为什么设定是妹妹，不是女儿？在跟养父母对峙时，女主说，是我把她养大的？？？？？？？？？？？5岁？？？？？养大？？？？
