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'.

主打灾难片，是国内少见的类型，希望好好拍，期待
不看这个片子都不知道原来现在的中建前身那么厉害，铁道兵让人佩服，国家的发展少不了他们的贡献……号召的场面还是很感动的，只是总觉得对男主的刻板印象让他的牺牲减分了，总感觉不可能做到，有点儿假，如果换成更硬朗的明星可能这种感觉就会消减了。另外，零点主唱周老板戏路越来越宽了，可以可以！哈哈
流畅是我最大的感受，看国内很多所谓的大片的时候，经常感叹为什么还不如小电影流畅，尤其中国医生，真的太不流畅了，看着难受（但是很感人）。峰爆真的很流畅了，情节也紧凑。特效有点差，会有一些人物超能力的bug，但是总体来说在国内同类型电影里真的很棒了。很感人，很专业，演员也都很好，乔欣这种我觉得演技一般的，都演的特别特别棒。黄志忠和焦俊艳绝对是最棒的，其次是陈数的朱一龙。连我妈这种不爱看紧张的电影的人都说好看。老公本来要写东西，都被吸引的一直在看，还怪我为什么要看这个电影害他没写多少东西。最后的最后，作为喜欢龙龙的人还是要补充一句，龙龙演技不错，但是比起黄志忠甚至焦俊艳来说，他真的差了点换剧就换脸的感觉，感觉他演什么都像在演他自己，虽然对人物情绪表达很到位，希望他越来越好吧。
感觉没讲完整就结束了，那个徒手扒飞机完全没必要，通过装备就能解决。
雨中徒手攀岩，也是厉害。
我觉得男女主的感情虽然戏不多，但能感受出很深厚很好。我有点羡慕啊。
题材很新 多拍一些这种没拍过的题材 会很乐意看
为国产电影拍出这么优秀的灾难救援类型片而高兴，讲好中国故事，发出中国声音。兔子冲呀！！
单位组织去看的 有可取之处 但突显的还是个人英雄主义 bug太多
整体完成度不错的！虽然细节上有待商榷，比如那段一个人驾车狂奔的戏，怎么看怎么像速度与激情！比如说那段父子雨中攀岩的部分，确定不会打滑吗？比如说。。。某些片段的衔接上有些牵强，人物也稍显得脸谱化了点。。。
别的都还好，就……恶劣的大暴雨天气徒手攀岩悬崖峭壁+悬崖一跃精准攀搭上直升机……就……
虽然男主有主角光芒，但是上阵父子兵的情节还是让我感动。还有突然对铁道兵这个行业肃然起敬，太厉害了！
不好看诶，杨哥看到后面直接一直和俺吐槽。大难面前父子感情的渲染，以及丁总的表现，总是让我出戏🙄可能一开始的期待值太高了～
对当今影视行业的吐槽嘲讽，一切起因是资本家想名留青史，结果搞得导演崩溃演员互掐，电影行业不易啊。有几处导演为了刺激演员而设置的冷幽默镜头不错，头顶巨石、粉碎奖杯等等，故事也有可看性，戏中戏与电影本身也贴合，对抗与代替，清高与庸俗，价值观碰撞引发的戏剧性
21.9.26看完
全家一起去看的。先说优点，节奏紧凑，科技应用不廉价，实景场面也花了不少力气，动作戏演员挺拼的。攀岩是真牛，挺体现技术含量，看得出演员的巨大付出。打个四星，片子值回票价没问题。吹毛求疵一点，想表达的太多，剧情没办法全兼顾到，每句台词掰开了揉碎了往里塞信息。陈数演的女领导，是个正面表达的女性，怎么说呢，虽然我也愿意有个女领导角色，但其实把女性放在决策位置上还挺少见的，政治正确比重更大一些吧。要炸毁修了十年的隧道，没体现修的艰难，就少了炸毁的痛惜，思想工作转折不打动人。配角脸谱化，不过这也是灾难片通病，倒没什么好说的。
单位福利换到IMAX券，一上来那个效果超棒，好像激流勇进俯冲下去。跟我看流浪地球一个感觉，当时还挺起劲，出来细想就没那么上头了。比如讲炸掉牛冠山也得男主提出来吗？工程部的人提出来，直升机过去发现锚点打不住，这时候洪翼舟接入说我可以，比现在这安排感觉合理些吧。多一颗星给朱一龙，小洪真帅啊，和小卢要永远在一起啊。
多拍点真实的故事吧，我愿意掏钱
为啥要换名字啊？！这是中国的灾难片，因地制宜，特效逼真，演员敬业，故事不拖沓。中国式父子关系是很难讲的一个故事。如果不是献礼片，应该看的人更多吧。居老师未来可期。
每一个人都有贡献自己的力量，在灾难面前人类是多么的无助，期待着有人能帮自己一把
