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'.

什么时候才能有一个正常普通的小女孩做主角？不要小女孩装大人了
一言以蔽之！海怪 猎手 国王 王后 这一切是国王和王后的阴谋。这部电影应该有续集吧
人类没救了
挺当下的电影的，我们的书我们的历史，都是谎言，说的不就是这个世界？虽然故事有些俗套，但不妨碍很流畅踏实地讲了一个很好看的故事。海上冒险的故事总是那么惊心动魄引人入胜呢。配乐精彩，小蓝萌萌哒，小红有点怪但也OK，只是小女孩设定有些粗糙过于成人和智慧了。
长得丑的小绿被戳死，长得可爱的小红得救哈哈哈哈哈
故事挺老套的，而且怪兽把他们带到新小岛的时候还期待能看到更多种类的怪兽，结果总共也就讲了3种怪兽和1个宠物。
结尾有些生硬 带孩子看看倒还不错 效果顶尖 没得挑
哪怕剧情老套，还是喜欢这种巨兽电影，毕竟那个男人不爱大怪物呢？越多越好！
有时候一颗种子的威力并不亚于一颗原子弹 一个“不按常理”出牌的人 不管什么时候都是有魅力的吧
属于网大电影水平。这个没有内容啊。更不要说有什么表达了。故事过于简单，没有让人起波澜的地方。视觉效果普通。实属解说佳作。
很不喜欢结尾的俗套嘴炮，但是前面金刚大战哥斯拉式的巨物打斗我还是很爱看的😌两位主角第一次落水时被海怪凝视的镜头看得我浑身一麻
小女孩人设太过了
这些从小就被灌输跨物种都是好朋友的美国小朋友为什么长大后组成了一个啥啥都对立的美国。
麻烦请改名叫圣母猎人吧，从政治正确小女孩，到猎人男主，再到红色巨怪，一个个圣母附体，甚至连船长也是，转变的突兀且莫名，一个个人物刻画的特别不真实，反而是所谓的反派，国王王后公母俩倒还有些像个人，影片的主线寓意类似于金刚，可是手法太过儿童幼稚化了，领孩子看还可以吧……
有一个镜头很恐怖，第一次掉进海里，焰魔深海里盯着他们。。。剧情有点老套了，怪物做的挺可爱。可以很流畅的看完就算好电影吧。
220725.★★☆.评语又是陈词滥调的排列组合:（结尾糊弄小孩的睿智处理令整个故事重拿轻放也就算了，编导怎么想到把男女主写成若无其事地抛父弃友的白眼狼？？？？？除此之外）由衷地真诚地赞美所有的幕后制作人员，献声的小女孩和可爱的屠夫（就猜到是你hhhh）。#可以跟pp一同观看的电影#
我不知道这部电影在讲什么，就好像男主一直很颓很丧，一直在怀念过去，一直在和不同的女人约会见面，但是他到底想表达什么呢？
整部电影最重要，最需要的是最后一句话，仅次足矣：“I’m going to live a great life.”
如果最后小女孩最后的嘴炮能有证据，我应该能更相信
还行…开头太老套我差点睡过去。全场亮点在最后小女孩的讲话。其他感觉都在别的电影里看过了。
