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'.

内容平淡的像瓶碱性白开水，前后段拍摄风格也不一致。5/10
其实偶尔看看这种平淡的电影也不错，适合度过下午。不过感觉男主和剧本都还差了一点味儿
嘶……非常暧昧……演员水平≈拍摄水平>>故事。崔宇植做到了角色抛脸，熊叔等一众帅叔依旧不负所望。
非常old school ，细水长流般的tender

即便有可爱的小崔 我也觉得剧情好无聊 而且实话实说 小崔演技忽高忽低
一直寻找父亲，发现其是糟糕的酒鬼。舅舅无微不至的关爱让他成长。
这片子有点错位的是，本应很热血的主题被刻意拍得冷峻，事件处理上倒是没什么问题，但感性动因上就会觉得转折的硬。灰色说白了是三观不同的各自解读，就像求同存异。哪种角度都不算错，是否有罪就看运气了。
喜欢这种成长回忆录式的电影。导演竟然是乔治克鲁尼？？？
太精彩啦，主题讨论的清楚而明白，比原则更重要的是人心，守护条条框框的原则也只是外化，真正要守护的是自己的心，不忘初心就能找到回来的路，靠二分法办事太简单省力了会错过很多或发生失误，要训练的是自己的心，站在灰色地带上能有更多视角和可能呢
原著的内容太丰富线索也太密集导致两个小时很难条条是到的顾全所有，但完成度还是不错的，警界并不是非黑即白也一定不是正义为先，一个卧底的自我认知和自我抉择的推理故事。我个人觉得如果是警官老欧巴和小鲜肉的感情戏为“基”础那应该更有信服度，真的。
JR跟女友父母吃早餐那个场景 我都替JR感到尴尬
sweet & slow。 配乐好好听。 大本老了，不过还是很帅。
看似清淡的故事却能体会到不同人生的温暖。 在这个浮躁充满戾气的社会，看这样一部家庭小品让人内心温暖。 以前一直被诟病表演的大本，这一次演出非常的自然且到位。我也想拥有这么一位帅气且有趣的舅舅。 （大本健身减肥+剃了胡子立马年轻20岁，我又可以了！）
没什么尿点，算是不错的商业片，结尾也随了观众的愿，就是整个故事太有意淫的味道了。
克鲁尼，你改行做导演是为了啥呢，为了让另一个改行做过导演的重拾导演自信吗......下次拍104分钟舅舅带娃吧，礼貌四星
日本推理小说改编的韩国电影，结果真是半点推理剧情都没有，演员都是好演员，但能把犯罪题材拍这么无聊也是不容易…2.5
但也不至于看不进去。
dancing in the moon light，大本状态很好很帅，片名虽带有酒吧，但并不是主要聚焦在酒吧
虽然他的父亲缺席了，但是他的生命里出现了很多正能量的男性，随便一个都比平淡无奇可有可无的父亲强。
