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'.

草根理智的主题虽然很普通，但作为传记电影算的上好片。
社交软件软广告。。。炮友转正的俗套故事。。。
感觉全钟瑞是去玩了个票，谈性没谈好歪到爱上去了，爱也谈的俗套，不过全钟瑞演的挺好，确实是有天赋。希望多接点有挑战的角色，这个还不如电话那个。
都是老掉牙的桥段，用约炮软件找真爱，骗鬼呢。
剧情虎头蛇尾，没有给两位实力演员什么发挥的余地，但还是颜值满满配一脸，为了CP多给一星！
这是一部美国草根的爱情故事，影片的结尾确实让人兴奋，回归了运动励志电影的本性，也为这位草根英雄致敬。
感觉他俩都不怎么适合这种比较入世的、生活气息很重的角色。
期待过高了，可能有一些语言上的不能百分百理解，剧情就是有点俗套
韩国烧酒难喝却依然在国内有市场的原因，全是被这些韩影害的，以为自己喝了就能像全钟瑞这样可爱吗，以为喝了就能有孙锡久这样的性伴侣吗？做梦！
光有女主在就好了啊，男主真是令人养胃的存在
电影里唯一短的地方就是时长了
这部片6.6分绝对太低了，怎么也有7.6以上，给五星是为了拉高一下平均分哈哈。舒服的小品，除了前面台词有点啰嗦，其他都挺好，四星跑不掉。
电影里唯一短的地方就是时长了
Sonsukku was really cuuuute
我就是来看孙锡久肉的 之前看melo的时候就独喜欢两导演这条线 这男的性张力也太…🥺另外看了花絮他好可爱哦 果然infp 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
谢谢，现在的我很需要这样的鼓励。希望每个当下不如意的人们都能有勇气保持自己的初心。加油！
孙锡久好性感，全钟瑞也好性感，这两个人可以只做爱不谈爱吗。
巧了 刚好是春节看的。有幸欣赏到孙锡久的屁屁和大腿肌
打橄榄球，那是我唯一擅长的事。。。
我就很喜欢孙锡久哈哈哈，女主的吐槽和黄段子一样有趣，情节虽然俗套可是人物性格太戳我了。以及我也好想找个餐馆吃肉喝烧酒以及痛快地吐槽啊！！
