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'.

小基友逐梦演艺圈在纽约，迪士尼青少年电影现阶段能呈现出来的最大LGBTQ程度就是让男主爱歌舞剧有黑人姐妹但是绝不会出柜，丽莎的角色表演加一星（应该让她也唱歌的！以及TikTok 真是出现在每一部青少年影视里。
电影更多的是在讲人性的复杂，夫妻在大难面前的互相救助，不离不弃。但是特效太少了，冲突戏太少了。
微弱科幻假设下的自然灾难。工业水准在线，特效少而精，人物和故事套路扁平（甚至可以再短些）。其实不失为我国科幻电影可尝试借鉴的路线之一。
挺好的片子呀，为什么分数这么低？叙事完整，镜头干净，表演不浮夸，特效自然，画面真实。尤其喜欢男主家里的布置，石油公司办公室的设计装修也是简洁而高大上，北欧风格果然不是盖的。不满意有二，一是为什么要让亚瑟死，编剧你太缺德了。二是初期有很多没必要的手持镜头，不是什么画面都需靠抖才有真实感的。嗯，还有，女主太过战斗力爆棚了，两位男士显得有点废。
就看看视觉吧，从中间到底救不救人时，女主演技开始泄气，为了推进剧情硬生生制造出的剧情实在是……尤其是工具人同事那段……勉强三星。
浪漫爱情主题之《火车陌客》（不是）交换去搞黄对方EX新恋情以求回心转意之中却爱上了彼此还蛮有创意的～学会了情话u r my slowburn~配乐里有Unforgettable 爵士金曲～发现约会17岁那段太搞笑哈哈哈看到了客串的SNL的Peter
前边铺垫太长了，视效一般，这种海上钻井平台灾难片和好莱坞之间能差出十个韩国的距离，技术小哥死的有点儿突兀，本来是帮忙的，最后成爱的奉献了，要不是女主的北欧初恋脸让人心疼，真的很难接受这个剧情。
影片勾起了我2020年去波罗的海投标海上项目的经历，北欧秋冬那种天光永远不足的画面感让人十分怀念。
技术性很强的灾难片，解决问题的科学方法和设备均是亮点，谈不上高科技，但实事求是。光是以挪威语发音这一点，就值得一看。印象很深的一句话：“原本以为我们是石油国家，但其实我们是个海洋国家。”
小国家拍出部这水平的片子确实蛮不错的。论《找个动手能力强的理工科女票的重要性》
「原以為我們是個石油國家，但其實我們是個海洋國家。」有多少國家能有這樣的覺悟。為了環境 放著石油不開採，有錢卻放棄不要。挪威🇳🇴👍
抖音推荐才看到这个电影，迅雷下载、电视上看完，剧情比较北欧吧，感觉一个小时以内就能讲完的故事，不太像科幻，地壳陷落滑坡导致的海上油井沉淀损毁，石油泄露海面最后烧掉。
Average rom com年纪越大越看不来小鸡片了。感觉要不是因为工作也不会看这个。最大的感想大概就是Manny Jacinto可真是好看啊！！可不比Scott Eastwood可爱～

全片唯一的坏人是那个亚裔家庭出身的女孩和她妈，总讽刺亚裔的教育方式有意思吗？就TM你长嘴啦？我不会骂人吗？傻X。
影片勾起了我2020年去波罗的海投标海上项目的经历，北欧秋冬那种天光永远不足的画面感让人十分怀念。
情人节看浪漫片果然intensify伤感，让人想起桃色公寓 那电影，为啥越渴望浪漫越虐噗。manny好可&结局完全没处理好
还算不错的人为灾难片……亲情爱情友情，没有太突出的，也算可以看一下
中途睡着了。选角太成功了，这么小的演员能演成这样活着做自己成这样真的了不起。
