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'.

还没清醒过来吗？这一整年的国产院线电影有几部是真正值得看的？似乎一部都没有，这部也不例外！
唉 怎么说呢 亲王的故事本来就很好了 改编实在没必要 而且看最后剧情 没有拍第二部的意思 但是又留下好多疑点和坑 实在算不上高明
日本人要是不还呢？这是什么逻辑？
一分给葛大爷，一分给雷佳音，一分给特效。抛开原著党和看过电视剧不说，故事虽然还算完整，但是又有点莫名其妙。对比后觉得电视剧拍得还不错，剧版里乔振宇更药不然，没有对比没有伤害。
没看过原著和电视剧，电影略仓促。演员不错，质感好。🉑
谜题质量确实比我现在每天一题的惊日迷历要高级不少，就是缺点喘息空间，看多了有些疲倦。许家守的是个「本真」，古董行讲的是个「鉴真」，从这个角度看，这局开的有点形而上啊。
怎么最后连爸爸的死都不追究了，两小时就忘了初心
不知道怎么说 好像挺好看 挺娱乐 也有些不错的段落 但感觉又有些拼凑感 中段的故事有点坍塌 更像一部贺岁片 煽情搞笑都不缺 古董的相关内容有一定的观影难度 片子也在极力压缩高格调鉴宝知识和一般观影者认知的距离 李现比他平时杂志商务红毯都要好 台词很硬表演也压得住场 辛芷蕾虽然做了次花瓶但也不露怯 现在国产商业片做到这样应该算不错了
这个剧情肯定要被人吐槽的，属于没什么值得回味的片子
但在80%的电影中都相对契合，那就是葛优，
挺有意思的，好像学了一些古董知识，其实并没有，危险，为葛优而看~
鉴宝那部分特效很6，流畅到飞起，以为这样视觉冲击会让人忽略剧情。。。火车剧情是在致敬天下无贼？真的包着假的还是真的，洗白汉奸大可不必
整体来说改编的还不错了
醉酒浑浑噩噩的状态真滴很
为了亲王和雷佳音。。。给个三星吧。。。如果不联想原著的话 本身的故事没有太大的bug 但是跟原著不能说毫无关系 只能说关系不大 现现还是挺帅的 葛优还是挺好笑的 不过搞得我还是想去再看一遍剧版了。。。
前半段还可以，后面郑家村就开始放飞了，葛大爷足足占了一首歌的尿点，全无共情的抒情真的毫无必要。没看过小说，现在也不大想看了。
从未看过原著只能和剧版比较，除年代感更为贴切无其他进步，亮点只剩葛大爷，炒隔夜冷饭还不如投拍第三季
观影体验不错，完成度不低，是近期难得的工整、有艺术感、有审美，没有拉胯短板的类型片。演员阵容上，在内地演艺圈的集体演技洼地下，这片中的所有演员都已经算是大高原了，葛大爷更是演出了喜马拉雅、冈仁波齐一骑绝尘的味儿，无论是表和里都专治鸡蛋里挑骨头，片子档次一下就提上去了，太提气了。愿有一天，葛大爷的演技成为中国演艺界的底线（口嗨一下而已）。故事上，编剧是用心的了，拍卖行那段很惊艳。印象中李现在同一拨演员中算是演戏从不拉后腿的，本片中他引领的副线是有加分项的，有小双线的意思；雷佳音真是自带TVB男主角级别的好感度滤镜，和谁都有CP感。建议哥俩以后有机会多和葛付贵大爷拍点父子三人的喜感日常，加上辛芷蕾的那句，那三声爸，真是全片最顶的一段了。朱芸编的音乐做得也挺棒，是给哪吒配过乐的人没错了。PS郑国渠真香。
7.0/10
所以绕了这么大个圈子，到头来真佛头还是给了日本人？
