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'.

比第一部血腥，但是趣味变平庸了。
影片中球场上的视角有点假 整个故事还是非常励志！
2、一老一少从头到尾都快死了也就是不报警，就自己硬扛，国外真恐怖，连个治安巡逻的都没有，我们这边有人喝醉酒闹事保安马上过来劝架😂
中规中矩的励志片！就纳闷，老美个顶个是鸡汤高手。
相比第一部剧情弱了，打戏和血腥程度增加了，
我太爱体育电影了，心中有梦想，又有支持的另一半，幸福。
他怎么变好了？噢，原来他才是好的。卧槽，他是坏的！卧槽，他洗白了！卧槽，他反水了！卧槽？结束了！总体来说，相比于第一部，第二部就是一坨屎
我觉得小萝莉演技不错啊，有那股无辜中自带的狠劲儿。（虽说这种大叔萝莉的搭配有点腻，但亲手弑父弑母的戏码还是让人O晒嘴
看了看导演的几个作品，都和福音电影有关系，但这部电影拍的不咸不淡，没有福音的话是一部不错的电影，如果要拍福音的话，拍的不突出，反而弱了一些。
总之见仁见智吧
整个儿变成动作片了。没有了屏住呼吸那种紧张感。老父亲真的太辛苦。
2021年第255部：老头眼瞎是怎么看到电线的？这些人是要救女孩还是杀女孩。。
前半段视听氛围很好
体育运动很容易激发观众的热血，从小人物到举世瞩目更能唤起人们的共鸣。电影节奏不错，音乐和场面的配合到位，激情与励志的气氛浓厚。
俗套的鸡汤故事，重点都是在感情戏上，除了真人真事比较加分。
1.亲生爹娘制毒贩毒还抢心脏，养父杀人强奸不给自由，当孤儿很不错。2.老头子装瞎，能一个人摸到陌生旅馆的电闸。3.猫能报恩，狗也行啊！！4.你看，在美国自由最重要，最终小凤笑得好灿烂！Freedom
除了老头儿接着瞎和惨，没有继承第一部什么亮点东西。
演员演技很扎稳。整部电影看的很舒服，家庭球赛场景剧情节奏穿插的很完美。
汪汪队立大功（。快节奏和硬核剧情还是可以顺畅看完的，女儿躲人那段精彩。讲道理教了女儿这么多防身术也还是要教一下打911的，最后都不抢救一下就投奔新世界了也是挺奇怪的脑回路。
后面剧情有点扯了，我一个正常人去找电门估计也要半个小时
