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'.

这真的好棒，Jodie真的能演，中间她崩溃落泪我也忍不住跟着哭出来，后面在警车里对着镜头愤怒质问也是冲出屏幕的情绪，外加怼着脸还不时晃动的手持镜头，太有代入感了，面对人类历史上最严重的疫情，一个普通人是有多么无助
现实比电影里还要绝望无助与残酷，大时代之下渺小的个人被牺牲在数字里
比那啥拍的强多了 人家敢质问啊 最近一个个主旋律的影片 真是够了
COVID-19
最后字幕用一种可怜兮兮的语气说护工的时薪是8.5磅……唉…………
7.8 这是一个有点浪漫诗意的电影 却带着让人刺痛的现实 男女主的演技为这部影片加分太多 “这就是这个国家的现在的运作方式 对不该我们管的事情视而不见” 这句话深刻扎心却又无可奈何
-一直很担心女主和tony会有所谓的男女情感 还好没有
1.想反应国家对新冠的管理不当，然后并没有讲好。2.想表达护工的无助于绝望也没有到位，浅尝即止。3.男女主的感情线也很突兀。看完的我扑克牌脸…
这应该是我看的第一部讲新冠疫情的外国电影，朱迪·科默演技不错，在一个阿尔兹海默症理疗机构已经很不容易了，还要在疫情之下救助每一个人，简直就是英雄啊！
4星半 要是不涉及某些政治元素与愤懑 可以打5星了 由小及大 由点及面的佳作
剧情有待完善，但方向是好的。起码敢问责啊！肯尼那一段看流泪了。还是爱朱迪演技。
一个小故事，一个平凡人，切入点特别好，故事讲的很清楚
什么时候起生命变得不平等了？
Jodie comer, 满分！love u forever!
拍得不伦不类，多少有点自以为是了，结尾再扣一星，但立意是好的。“兔子”永远保有着一些敏感点，却永远不会想要做一个脱敏手术。这部电影于我而言是场糟糕的脱敏手术，但至少是种态度。
太真实了 压抑心碎 jodie comer那段戏真好…
渡人先自渡，助人难自助。无须粉饰太平，也不必秋后算账，一切都终将会过去，循环往复向前去。
Stephen和Jodie都演得太可以了！！一个眼神就让你心碎的咔咔的 Sarah一个人半夜走廊来来回回忙活 从无助到崩溃的那段 灯光、声音和镜头都掌握得太好了 感觉自己也在经历她的心情 嘤嘤嘤 暴风哭泣
这是对新冠病毒正确的打开方式，简陋的医疗物资几乎靠自己命硬工作，根本没有人会来，只能等死，没有急救车，而这些人连成为一个数字的资格都没有，就这么被关起来按上钉子敲敲打打封印起来，仅仅3个月死了将近4w9，而且大多数来自更需要被看护的护理院，记得新冠在年前有个女孩，妈妈发烧送到急救中心，去世后直接被一辆车拖走，女孩追着载有母亲遗体的车追着奔跑厮喊拍打着车门，妈妈只是感冒了，不要带走我的妈妈，ZGYS在拍点什么，还没当时直播火神山和雷神山感人
2.好人和坏人，都是出于自己的心理诉求和物质诉求。女主作为一个好的护工，是某种层面上的失败者，在这样的环境下能够收获被需求感。
