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'.

东北合伙人还有点情节内容，这个烧烤之王的剧情就很离谱了，而且不搞笑
我给四分，绿皮书，指环王，沙丘，我都是给一两颗星的，最主要东北人能感受那种市井的东北文化，可以说这是一部精良的东北俗娱乐文艺作品，它的每一个调度，对白的节奏，表演的状态，剪辑的碰撞，都是专业级的，喜剧效果刚刚好，不仅故事合情合理有生活气息，人物性格鲜明又不过于单薄，没有深度却不烂俗，作为一部网大，值得四星！
稳扎稳打，有笑点不尴尬，合格的喜剧片，比一大批院线烂片强多了。
网络电影时代、电视喜剧节目井喷式增长时代，搞得现在全是网络梗造作品。烧烤之王也难以避免，但还是很看见崔很认真地想做好电影用的力，只是这力不行 也不知道打哪儿。如果这是一部烧烤店宣传片的话，那绝好，可是问题来了，烧烤这种美食，还需要别人宣传吗？
成为男女朋友以后看的第一部电影，哈哈！梗都是能猜到的，却依然不妨碍我们哈哈大笑嘻嘻
随便点开的，没想到还不错！有笑点！比那些东北莫名其妙的网剧出彩多了！
真的很想给国产喜剧高分，但是真的太没水平了，跟一个高质量幻灯片有啥区别
其实在网上看看这种烂片还挺好的哈哈哈，有点以前开着电视做其他事的舒适感，可能这才是烂片的正确打开方式！
男人都是善变的，但万变不离其宗。
限于成本看得出有点试水的意思，没有强行煽情、没有拖拖沓沓（甚至过度有点过快),没有引人反感的演员，这就算及格了。希望佳佳再瘦回去，然后给一部更有内涵的喜剧续篇出来。
全程都不是围绕烧烤斗法，陈旧的网络段子，短视频式的视听设计，几个演员长得鬼斧神工。
emmmmmm，感谢你没进电影院骗钱，送你一颗星
13岁小孩逐梦百老汇，中规中矩的励志片。但放在迪士尼的儿童/歌舞坐标系却是了不起的进步，
附和逻辑，一个网大低成本很多情节包括细节都附和逻辑，这是很多高成本大明星戏都不具备的。希望资本注入。
梦想成真，很迪斯尼，我也需要个幸运尾巴，祝自己好运！
太可爱了吧吧吧！！！想着哥哥好帅一看是歌舞青春剧版男主 现实金手指少看电影就要看金手指！感人且爽！（虽然有一点小尴尬 bytheway 莉亚好酷！
作为中国本土情怀的深夜食堂，烧烤比电影更吸引人。
我为我一不小心看了10分钟这个烂片而耻辱。。
本以为是很烂的下饭片，但看完之后却发现比预期好很多
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈这个剧笑死了
