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'.

为贾玲跟黄渤还有两个老戏骨点赞！方言版让我听的更舒服，真正的历经的武汉人不敢看，我这样回不去的武汉人哭的稀里哗啦，一点没煽情，就是不停地想哭。老医生上人工肺的时候真的忍不住。太多这样的医生了。朱一龙跟贾玲很搭很搭。就是受不了徐帆，身上完全没有武汉人气息了。
其他都细节问题有待改进，不管是情节，剪辑，还是音乐方面，就是说排列组合能够更好一点。
感动是真的，故意煽情也是真的，稍微有点假也是真的，哭死了也是真的
剧情太散了，而且也完全没有提现当时大家的紧张恐惧，不服输的精神，赶紧就是他们谈谈恋爱忽然就成功了，这……
黄渤演的真特么好，不愧是我男神！
黄渤贾玲其实也没有太多的对手戏，可能想拍群像戏但是又没有拍出来，这类题材其实不建议这么快为了赶热度而拍。
看得煎熬，长篇累牍的抒情是对好题材的拖累好吧，为什么不换个方式去表达，重点没抓住，真是白瞎了。
按照作文的评分来看，《穿越寒冬拥抱你》确实是一部紧扣主题的作文，明里暗里，时时刻刻点题，生怕别人不知道标题是什么。但作为一部跨年电影，确实有些不如人意。
黄昏恋的两个老人真是太可爱了，所有人都说不好看，我看之前就不抱什么希望，没想到还哭了两三次
小人物的真情实感才最打动人心，愿疫情早日过去！
看得有点累，编剧是不是对原配夫妻有啥意见，影片中不是离异，丧偶就是婚姻不合。朱一龙最后落日下的镜头还以为下一秒就要去拍峰爆了
只有前十分钟好看………咋的只有我们玲全线be啊无语！
剧情略乱，缺少细节不接地气，贾玲的武汉话说得还是可以的，渤哥就太川味了。
就是因为觉得这些美好太难存在了，甚至不会发生在我身边，所以感觉弥足珍贵，无比向往。
来越多，如此的，缺乏艺术价值的，现实搭载过剩的，网友说的，但我赞同
疫情里的小人物间的真情，也太好哭了吧！！大家都演的好好哦，每一段感情都让人泪流满面，我也想要叶老师呜呜呜呜
看哭了，人间自有真情在呀，还有就是贾玲传递出的减肥不重要，身体健康快乐才重要啊
感动，平凡人有大爱。希望香港早日迎来春天……
故事勉强还算接地气，拍的也足够细腻，有一定的温度，但很多情节还是显得过于天真浪漫了
硬贴抗疫题材，手法柔弱，远没有真实情况来的深刻，更别说高于生活
