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'.

我觉可！娱乐和解谜兼备，有三谷幸喜神韵的元电影（&强烈舞台剧感）：喜剧、密室、群戏的模式，一组失意“无能者”聚集起来向某目标发起挑战并以此洗刷心志，莎婆味儿追寻真相抚慰人情的软推理斗智，还有戏里戏外知其不可而为之的勇气……全程铺桥段释放信息的节奏很稳，电影梗有会心一笑：影视媒体黑话啦、正片里看预告片啦、闪灵梗啦、老上海想象啦、默片段子啦等等，影迷会看得蛮乐呵吧；内核有一丢丢想到《白夜行》（白化版），种种伏笔到后期都扣上了，节节反转（到结尾都没停）做得蛮精心的。用这种形式影射404型社会现实，也算是机智的曲线救国，值得鼓励。
前四分之三从搞笑橋段到台詞演技到服化道都是令人難以直視的廉價浮誇，人物很薄又生硬地拿腔拿調，節奏很拖。幸好從「踩滅火苗」開始，總算是有了些亮點。
全片跟过家家玩儿似的，你以为离扬名立万只差一步之遥，还早着呢！（听说片名最初叫《一部电影的诞生》，看来导演真对文文情结蛮深的～
“十个项目九个凉，商业投资很正常。”全片唯一和新宇一起共情爆笑的词。
1. 氛围和台词过于现代化，借古喻今意味太明显 2.高估了电影的社会价值，一群电影人的自我感动 3.最后强行HE带给观众“希望”，看够这种英雄救美的戏码 4.除去以上几点还是不错的悬疑+喜剧片= =
一个非常温柔的故事。雾缭的天台，影影绰绰的塞纳河，远处的铁塔，和伴着黑胶唱片和焦糖可可的拐角落地窗的房间。如果是我的话，也会梦想能在巴黎拥有这么一扇窗吧。导演把那些伤痛都柔和化了，留下的都是些轻盈的注脚，在这里他们温柔的对待着彼此和保护着自己。汹涌而克制的爱和压抑而温暖的告别。但大家都依然很坚定的走下去了。“我以前想象的生活其实不是这样的，但尽管如此，我也尽力的去热爱它了。”
愿意给个好分数是因为看见太多人觉得没拍好，但在我眼里，这样的题材和这样的深意，能过审也许就已经是很努力了。
推理线很简单勾子出来的时候就基本明白整个扣儿了，但整体好笑程度大过悬疑色彩，并不会因为“就这？”嗤之以鼻，毕竟大量的语言包袱让我很难溜号…悬疑部分完全没有留白，很直很愣很不“悬疑”，有点满，但是诚意也满满，大波浪这波大银幕处女作合格✅
4.5。八十年代的巴黎，摇曳的青春期，充满朋克Dreampop和新浪潮音乐，Television声音出来的时候突然起了一身鸡皮疙瘩，羞涩的大男孩，复古的色调和建筑和风景，纠缠年少的情感，敏感的单身母亲，透过巨大的玻璃窗看得见远处风景的房间，搬家，书和日记，打字机，黑胶唱片，磁带，VHS录像带，写的诗歌，出版社的回信，尤其是夜晚的电台，主播，电话进来的倾诉...简直是九十年代中国的我们朋友们的生活翻版/前兆，在三四十年后的2022年重演了一遍...
报告老板的喜剧人马 努力认真地拍了一部剧情片 一部悲剧 一部阿加莎式的推理故事 对网剧的搞笑有着恰到好处的保留 不断的反转也都合情合理 看到这群喜剧人这么努力认真地做一部叫《扬名立万》的小成本 太感动了。本可以恰烂钱 但是他们认真拍电影 “我他妈也是个有良心的艺术家！！！！”
很难得的去影院看片，看的时候突然想到中国电影往往让人想到中国足球，玩得水平是高是低且不说，可总是觉得玩的和别人都不是一回事。
剧本杀式的剧情和展开，若是都能说成开创了一种电影的新类型，那电影的本质和地位可能需要都重新评估。

四星半。极度舒缓，也极度舒适。这不就是来自八十年代巴黎的明信片吗，以及所有迷失灵魂的午夜电台故事簿吗。温声细语心事话人的夜旅人，左岸梦境右岸现实的接线员，聚散有时来去自由的外来者，所有心灵与身体线上线下交集的信号，都汇聚在了这座城市的上空。
巴黎是夜的城市，是旅人栖居之所。记录和现实的镜头相交接，正是这座城市的本质，因为它既存在于被遗忘的过去，也为人们迷惘的当下加了注脚。那么在Joe Dassin的音乐中舞蹈，是否有一种déjà vu的感觉。这种似曾相识的感觉，潜藏在深夜的电台里，凝固在眺望城市夜晚上空的一瞥，这却需要用一整个白天的时间去感受：一种只归属夜晚的浪漫。
它在年尾上映，仿佛呼应了年初的《刺杀小说家》，也可以改叫《追杀电影人》。
摇曳迷幻的音乐，塞纳河畔的氤氲，四处漂泊的旅人，即使忧伤也能被爱抚慰。生活的本质就是平淡而古怪，有人来过，有人离开，但生活依旧前行，日子总是要过下去，一切都会好的，
“导演，咱这部电影观众能看懂吗？”“不一定，但我觉得这片子一定能留下来，因为我们做到了一件正确的事——问心无愧。”
张本煜带女孩去看电影，电影讲的是刀仙，他抬头皱着眉头，好奇地伸出手指去碰触放映机投射而出的蓝色光影那一幕，不知道为什么，看得我很想哭。（尹正演得太用力了吧也！
3.5. 柔和有余力量不足的女性电影。细腻精致像Charlotte的声线，但最凸显旅人要素的流浪女孩却在饱满舒适的色调里显得过于乖巧，稚嫩，顺从，安全，这是真实的吗？离去才是真实的吧
