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'.

亦师亦友，虽然有些转折比较刻意，仍不失为年度佳品。
娓娓道来的叙事，似曾相识的同感，卞约翰有惊艳的表现。人生如航，每一个人内心深处都有那个魂牵梦绕黑山，却不一定都会变成慈山，做人的过程太苦了，你将经历别人的经历，却不一定悟出一样的人生，那些人生来平等的同理，似乎在固化的世界里，永远抵不过官禄诱人的不恭，启蒙，是灵魂的安宁，浑噩，是漂泊的一生……
这才是我心目中古装电影的该有的样子，别动不动就为帝王歌功颂德，我们应该更多地做反思，对封建制度和传统文化的反省。五千年的文明不是只有伟大，压榨和血泪同样不缺。
2、影片表面上讲的是一个贬谪士大夫的流亡生活，道出的却是人生意义的真相——所谓人生的意义，其实只是自己的事。你觉得有意义，那就有意义。由此想到一句话：知识都是灰色的，而生活的金树长青！说得真好。
贵国有这么璀璨华丽的士大夫流放传统，为什么又是邻国拍出这样的电影？昂？？？
人世令人失望，能容纳我们的是自然之爱、万物本身具有的奇迹，它们存在就是美妙的，好奇心、考据与纪录，博物学是爱世界的畸零人永远的家。（这倒不是电影的重点。）在一开始，老师不也是把昌大看作假想敌吗。
海螺的妙用 以为是一曲昌大的丧歌 笔锋一转～
气死我了！这个黑白+古装+儒学这么好的背景，基督教异端儒家学者流放小岛，写下前世未有之鱼类百科全书这么好的题材，思想交汇、自然风光、历史感…竟然被处理成这样一味煽情，简单粗暴的烂俗故事，真是气死我了气死我了…
农民操作的是土地，官员操作的是农民（台词大意）。一语道尽皇权内涵。
一种沧凉的安慰感。「所以我不研究善变、难懂的人类，要转去研究通透、明净的事物，用事物来忘却我。」
天主教背景，讲的是东方和西方在文化政治方面的冲撞。
❶好喜歡，完全具象化了我所想像的東亞士人之氣；❷儒道與西學並不衝突；❸茲山-黑山；❹裡面提到的魚類都好有趣！植物譜系也吸引人；❺「活成向上飛的鶴」未嘗不可，但是更想像黑山這樣看起來荒涼實則生機勃勃；❻讀書為何；❼就很感同身受，看完啜泣了好一會兒。
在电影院看的，一个人包场，黑白加古装，台词有些也听不太懂，而且，途中我还睡了一觉。
这部片子也太类型化了，又是只讲设定，没讲人物和故事。丁若铨一边喊着众生平等，一边又极尽傲慢，前半程全靠地位和知识优势PUA张昌大；配合张昌大的父亲就是一本中老年男性傲慢“鱼谱”。拍出思悼的那位导演去哪了？
更愿意研究通透明净的海洋生物。
王的男人、素媛、思悼导演。9真的没有问题。喜欢“只要是美好的都可以用”。确实好东西真的很多的，不必拘泥一格。很多浅显的道理，但不是人人都能做到。叙事对观众也算是非常友好了（甚至都能想象可能会被批评过于浅显、节奏商业什么的）
百想 名至实归啊，儒教与基督教的冲突，士大夫的出世入世，去写经史子集还是编写鱼谱，没有一部电影可以如此详细的探讨这么多话题。
一部鱼谱背后是社会百态，仕途、阶级、生物等等尽在其中
7.6/ 这次真的喜欢，也不像以前那样洒血，是泥沼里残留的活力，哪怕不反抗，依然可以称它是自由。我对于李濬益导演始终如一的不满是，依然填充了许多教育意义，企图让人代入其中；如果能让行为大于思想，就会变成杰作，现在已经足够好。如果全部我所学只是为了对我个人的某些事情有所帮助，有什么意义呢？
印象中没有见过薛景求拍过古装类型的戏，不愧是变色龙，什么角色都能驾驭的好，事实证明导演大胆启用卞约汉也是非常正确的选择，如今能看到这样的片子是种很幸福很难得的事情了，因为咱们没有这个耐心和魄力拍出这样的作品，第一次看黑白片没感觉到闷，不过换成彩色应该又是另一种风格了
