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'.

一贯水准～所以中间有点小瞌睡。。。最后还不错
没有很惊艳，但是不后悔的
当主角们在受难哭泣，而观众在一旁冷漠地看着，知道后面一定有反转的时候，你就知道，这个系列大概也到头了，甚至有点腻味了。
😿如果有人跟我说行骗天下不好看我真的会伤心，麻酱为什么连眼角的鱼尾纹也这么好看？之前说会有三浦春马和竹内结子的戏份，就是这样出演的吗？可恶，被骗了。
【只有小少爷受伤的世界达成了】
老套路，但还是很好看
3主角团开了天眼和金手指，怎么扯都能圆得过来。当然，总体还是比大部分同题材电影强的，只是没有原来那么惊艳了。
感觉可以结束了这个系列，虽然拍成常青树也不是不可以，毕竟速度与激情都拍第10部了
毫无惊喜。唯一的看点竟然是赤星了吗？这么可爱又死心塌地的m谁不爱。
表演浮夸，剧情也不能细想。但熬过了前面一个多小时，还能看！就是漫画嘛，何必当真。
反转多到数不过来了，大家都在演戏，只有小少爷真情实感，被达子当做纯纯工具人，实惨。
看到麻酱最后的笑容，一切bug都变得合理了。下一部该去俄麦瑞肯了吧
69/100.你可以永远相信达子。阳子姐下部预告预定了。Stra和杰西都用她们特色客串了一把真的好感动啊。希望下一部用濑户换掉东出把
日常番平淡如水，没有大的戏剧冲突，
就，粉丝向吧，当是随了份子钱。1.想说黑泽演技不行，但是想想他那个人设本来就很悬浮。不过没想到他家里更悬浮，几乎空无一物，一家子假人。2.出柜所谓的困境也解决得順調すぎる。3.安妲己的爹的演员长相更适合演他发小的爹。4.对吻戏拉灯床戏没有执念，毕竟全年龄向本来也不指望什么。5.omoinotake已经成了bl映画专属唱将了么我有一颗星就是给片尾曲的
真好 在平行时空里 他们都还活着 美好如灿烂童话
其实剧情都能猜到 但为了活在台词里的Star加一星 故事里的他们还记得她 真好
这一部明显比之前的好很多，可能是因为大家都降智，时间线插叙，让我没第一时间理清楚的原因//恭喜这个系列电影从悬疑解密转型成信任和爱的主题了//原来杰西和star的演员已经……哎，RIP//就是反派塑造不行，一出场知道这是鱼了，骗什么都不如骗观众
剧情无力吐槽，就当是欣赏赤楚卫二在大荧幕上更加无可挑剔的颜了。相比之下拜鬼启太就显得更加丑陋而又猥琐…
最后的结局有点太理想化图景的感觉，不过赤楚好可爱。
