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'.

茫茫无尽的草原，努力的学习的孩子，善良朴实的牧民，初来乍到的男主，看电影的同时，我觉得我也想有这样的生活，但转念一想我可能没有面对现实的勇气。。。
相信所有的同胞们都会生活得越来越好，藏区孩子清澈的眼神，每次重温电影都会让我感到感动
总之，好好的故事，强行用人命牺牲拔高立意，不行。
十分感动的一部片子，讲述了一位到藏区支教的老师，虽面对恶劣的条件和极端的环境，却没有恐惧而选择了留下，因被藏区学生朴实善良的情感所打动，后用一生奉献于此的支教故事。影片关注乡村支教和地方教育发展的问题，用最真实的镜头向我们展示了偏远地区孩子们学习的困难，却又热爱学习的模样。同时，通过主人公韩松老师的故事也向我们塑造了一位负责，善良大义的青年教师，因为他的引导和坚持，帮助了偏远地区学童，给了他们走出家乡看世界的机会，他是许许多多支教老师的缩影，也代表着这个行业的辛酸与伟大。但这部片子还有些许不足，因为时间跨度大，所以在剧情和剪辑上都略显跳跃，处理的不太好，只能说是美中不足吧，导演陈中阳年轻有为，但还有许多进步的地方，剧情上的个人认为结局略有遗憾，可能脱离了美好的电影，现实就是如此残酷的吧。
正沉浸在支教的感动和对草原美景的震撼中，看到一条弹幕“这里的人这么单纯只是因为没有接触到外面复杂的世界”。突然就感动不起来了，单纯的人性和复杂的世界在一起，好像才更令人动容。
为什么好电影不火呢？这么好的电影应该宣传出去！
在自己身上可能都没有那么伟大，为了藏区孩子奉献自己的一生，现实生活中应该也是有原型的吧？
我要考教师资格证！！！还差个普通话，明年一定要考下来，支教有点困难哈哈哈哈，但是想当老师，感觉和学生相处挺好的，虽然可能会生气，恨铁不成钢，但是感觉挺有意思的
韩松老师的情景表演法授课调动孩子的学习积极性，课堂气氛非常活跃，教学效果也会相当好。
本以为男女主结婚故事就结束了，没想到他俩居然用一辈子来养育孩子们，太伟大了！
感觉可以多拍一些这样的电影，很有教育意义，也让我们看到了藏区的真实生活
老师太难了，一方面是需要帮助的孩子们，一方面又是母亲病危，真的很佩服他。
那几个假巡山员实在太可恶了，看了心里揪的慌，太气人了
看到里面偷猎者的时候真的特别揪心，这人呐，有的时候真坏，不过也是那个地区的实情啊，不过有一说一，还是有点不果断，要不真不至于
讲述一位教师到藏区支教，然后在藏区体验当地风土人情，教书育人，且跟一个藏族姑娘相爱相知的故事，电影里充分体现了藏区的景美人美，看完不禁让人向往藏区的风土人情，希望藏区的教育和经济越来越好。
风景很美很大气，藏区方言听着也很有味道，服道化都很真实很好代入
没有去支教，但是当初我也是一个怀着梦想的人，也曾大城市的灯火阑珊感到惊奇，最后走马观花，因为囊中羞涩而感到生活的迷茫，现如今，只有活着，生活并没有那么如意
看到男主坐在轮椅上的时候，我也想过，将来我会不会也是这样，笑看下一代朝阳升起
四星给到导演，五星给到故事，故事很简单，但直击人心，因为真实，因为纯粹，干干净净，就像洁白的哈达
心在哪里，爱在哪里，家就在哪里。纯净的天空下绽放着美丽的梅朵，碧绿的草原上站立着郎措大哥这样的真汉子，僧格在骏马上帅气奔驰，年轻的韩松老师从北京走来，爱上了这方土地这方人，扎根藏区几十年，陪伴了无数孩子成长，帮助那方人民生活得越来越好。向支教老师们致敬！感谢导演和演员献出了一部让人落泪、启迪人心得好电影！
