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'.

卡司有好多眼熟 故事立意很好 但是镜头过去和现在交互展现事件的始末观感不太流畅 换个方式会不会更好呢
不错的影片，质感很好，有年代感与胶片感，果然每个人难以忘怀的都是自己的青春。片中有很多人的死亡，突然离世的父亲，最终放弃抢救的老教授，和冒险拿身体试验的丁萌萌，每个人都对于不老不死有自己的态度，对人生有自己的活法。如果没有记忆，不老的躯壳好像也没有太多意义了。中间的成名，男主角的不老以及最终的车祸，离婚，女儿的出生和长大，都好似导演给观众编制的美好梦境一般，现实往往充斥残酷，很不错的影片，演的也很好。
題材和卡司都很好，開頭也不錯，但後面有點無聊了。劇情平鋪直述步調慢，沒什麼吸引點。最大亮點是清原果耶
王朔编剧就能理解片中王小莫的臭贫了。主角的人物设定同蛋炒饭，时间跨度也差不多半个世纪，但有感觉像不见不散，特别是在捷克生活那段，最后发现是奇幻题材，我结尾没看懂，知道看了影评，说郭小鲁没有永生，然后有点想通了
每次看到阿部宽总想到加贺系列……这一部故事沉重，叙事很不错但是太冗长了，如果在电影院，沉浸式观影可能好一点，特别是交叉叙事那一段，但是没什么过渡，很容易把人搞懵。加贺啊，亲情啊，第一印象太深，阿部宽也是半永久西装了……还是警察西装。
3.5，看之前完全没了解故事内容冲着演员来的，以为是本格推理，没想到是社会题材，比较巧的是现在手上翻看的书是《女性贫困》，地震那条线的故事有些许冲淡主题。
这片子的类型究竟是什么，科幻？爱情?剧情?
灾后重建的电影看了好几部，感觉还是庸才给我的印象最深。
——2022年春，谁能想到上海市民就这么强行能共情了。
结局应该是大家意料中的，整体略嫌冗长，但演员们实在是太棒了，整体令人信服的表演，把未曾经历类似灾难和困境的自己，完全拉进了故事的情绪和思索。。
再前还看了一部美式愚蠢xx
TIFF 好好按原著拍不行么……非要又搞成震后创伤，所有人的表演都过于努力显得极度刻意，最精彩的情节不是靠剧情推动演出来，而是对话讲出来，累了
不知道说什么。对我来说，有一些特别感觉吧。
电影啊
真是绕来绕去，日本犯罪片的老手法了，无趣。
各种细节 用心了
王传君是个好演员，王珞丹就算了。把对生死的思考一股脑地化作旁白表述出来，搞得电影像旁白配画面。旁白写得很好，画面也很好，后段回国了没旁白的部分也很好，但是凑成的电影实在不咋样。小孩部分像年代戏，青少年部分像青春戏，国外部分像科幻惊悚片，回国后部分拍出点贾樟柯的味道。拍得很用心，但不是部好电影。
个人觉得应该值7分以上的电影，打个四星平衡下。当看到佐藤健饰演的角色在离影片结束还有四十多分钟就被抓获后就猜到肯定有反转。都说天灾无情人有情，事实上是有些人定的制度比灾难还更无情。在生命和尊严面前，那些僵硬和不合理的规定都应该让步，这样的执行才是人性化和有温度的，执行者不该像没有生命的机器人一样麻木无情。可惜现实往往没那么理想，联想到最近上海疫情期间发生的一系列事，我们离营造这样一个人性化的环境还很遥远，继续努力吧。清原果耶太可了，想和她交往想保护她（星星眼）。电影里三人吃饭时的面条感觉很美味，决定晚餐就吃面条了。
震后创伤主要落脚点在老年人的福利漏洞上，在当下这个全球混乱的年代很应景，活着就很不易的主题每个人都能共情，弱势得不到应有关照更是全世界的问题。可能最近负能量太多麻木了，这种主题看的心如止水。
宏观角度看多了，情感就淡漠了。如果放到以前看完大概会非常愤怒和悲伤。单论剧情波动明明很大，但拍的很平，导演的节奏和刻画重点有问题啊。演员演的很好，四大里最佳男主和最佳女配都有捞到。打五星只是因为电影里元山辞职的那段话：致那些得不到保护的人。我还想加上：致那些一直在保护大家的人。无论疫情还是地震。
