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'.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
理查德除了保护女儿之外，他的性格复杂又矛盾，固执、冲动、聪明、隐忍、坚强、自信、自负、温柔、周密、独断。
无论理查德身上有多少缺点，大小威在网球这项运动的巅峰周期，以及对社会的回馈确实与父亲的教育是密不可分的，成功来自于偏执。
电影工业代表性的产品，故事张弛有度，人物平衡情绪丰满，观众被带着从头走到尾，该哭的时候哭，该笑的时候笑
这让我回忆起小学时常看网球比赛，对其中一场李娜被小威逆转的局记忆犹新。
有点太梦幻了
太多鸡汤台词了，一段接一段，夫妻两个轮番说。冠军真的是被鸡汤养大的？
同样在今天身为少数族裔star的球迷能强烈的感受到，在又一年的外卡参赛中，坚忍的拿下每一分，拿下无数的种子，经历每一场，一路杀入决赛经历一次次的2-1。即使经历失败。你也能感受璀璨若坚忍若伊斯坦布尔天空的红色霞光。海上已掀起新的波涛，这是向往的汪洋大海啊。
是一部看完后会鼻子很难受的电影，上一部是波西米亚狂想曲。
黑人在体育上有努力 但白雪公主是黑人 我就不看
韩国电影有奉俊昊，有朴赞郁，有姜帝圭，有可以和整个世界缱绻的风声和暴雨
美国版的《摔跤吧，爸爸！》，但无论是哪方面或都远远不及。
但这部电影，实话说，表现了什么演技？双子杀手里面都表现得比现在好啦。
such a Hollywood movie.black is true
这剧本能上黑名单？史皇的表演也就那样，看来封帝的情况和老李子一样，没意思。
无论理查德身上有多少缺点，大小威在网球这项运动的巅峰周期，以及对社会的回馈确实与父亲的教育是密不可分的，成功来自于偏执。
挺流畅的，因为是真实事件，所以不算鸡汤，不过也就成千上万个家庭里面出现这么一个，所以这也是能被拍出来的原因，没啥普适性。当网球来敲门，来打网球吧，爸爸。那几段留白恰到好处
我现在看到威尔史密斯演这种励志政治正确样板戏就有点疲劳，但不得不说这个剧本非常精确精准，没有半点拖泥带水，剧情起伏也非常好莱坞，是一部准确的教科书模板，可以是晚饭后去看一眼然后回家睡觉的片子，中规中矩，在规范的百分卷上答了99到100分。只有一点，不要再说教了这位大男子主义的父亲。
非常坚定乐观的父亲，但感觉女儿的戏份有些少了
演的挺好，但是为什么是个摔跤吧爸爸的叙事呢？
