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'.

无数个千里万里换来的今天，我们应该好好珍惜。
三星半 文戏和战争或者说动作场面真的非常割裂 颇有点手撕鬼子的感觉 ps片子里的美国人都长的不太美国
镜头太太太晃了，第一次和美军的正面交锋拍的比最后总攻要好很多，总觉得结局有点仓促和拉胯，韩东君和朱亚文的人设实在是太好了，一个有勇有谋神枪手，一个带着书生文雅气儿，冷静思考以小换大的指导员，其他的正常发挥吧
下一代的我们，别把响亮有力的口号喊得无味。
喜欢其中一句话，大概意思是，我们打仗，是为了我们的后代不打仗。
战场上要冷静。
一直担心三个小时太过长，怕坐着腰疼，结果感觉眨眼间就到电影结束了。这种战争片原本都会被突突突的电影场面震撼。但全程紧张，那是我们的英雄啊。“我们不打这一战，我们的下一代就要打”和平年代，铭记历史。
全是主线 反倒是最后长津湖一站主线变为了副线。全是重点最后却没了重点，硬煽情，有那么点尬。唯一感动的是想到当年是用无数血和生命赢下来的战役 感谢先辈
个人感觉比八佰的描述感触更多更深。
完全超过预期，可以说是目前为止看过的最好的国产战争片了。完全展示出了战争的残酷，但很多地方又很温馨
中规中矩吧。结尾太突然了。最后半个小时处理的不好。易烊千玺还是有点点出戏，京味儿太浓了。
今天下午去看的首映礼 电影长津湖完全就是我们自己真真切切的历史 对于历史较差的我 可以说是提供里一个学习有关抗美援朝历史的机会 电影更加直观 真切的让我体会到了战争的残酷和战士的英勇 他们是勇敢的 坚定的 电影完全值得IMAX 多次我感觉美军的飞机都要冲出来了 音效特高清 完全沉浸在电影里 易烊千玺完全就是天生的演员 有实力 有演技 电影里还有一些比较搞笑的点 演的都很到位 推荐这部巨作 高逼格的一部电影 让我们得知如今和平生活的来之不易
场景不错，动作不错，中国电影也可以拍出欧美大片的效果。
但是，他却让我游离。
被那段历史震撼到了，祖国有如今这盛世太不容易了
我很喜欢这部电影，从开始到结尾，都喜欢！一直都想找时间看看《长津湖》，但总因为三个小时的时长而犹豫，总害怕这样长的主旋律电影会充满了拖沓、说教和过度煽情，然而都没有。影片从一开头就吸引着我，探亲的战士抱着哥哥的骨灰盒行舟湖上，顽皮的少年在岸边投石撒欢，好一副充满生活和趣味的画面。整部电影虽然长，但却并不拖沓，节奏紧凑，张弛有度，三个小时看下来竟然意犹未尽。影片着重描述了两场战役：半山民宅和打北极熊团，此外穿插着一些行军的艰难和战士间的嬉戏，让观众的神经不至于全程紧绷。没有特意去煽情，仅仅通过一些真实特写就让人动容，比如啃冻土豆，比如冰雕连。篇幅有限，最后，跟着字幕默念：伟大的中国人民志愿军烈士永垂不朽！
（1950，他们正年轻）
三个小时看起来我也不漫长，演技没得说，制作没得说，扣掉的分是因为情节，bug真的不少。
绝对不能拍成什么底层士兵之类的小人物对战争的反思，一方面西方近现代战争史缺乏正义性才会疯狂谈什么小人物反思战争。另一方面，求求评论区的人去看看纪录片，哪怕看看知乎也行，对战争与战略意图的认识一点也没有，对当时敌我双方的态势也没一点认识，就知道轮歼敌人数。战争不是我们所期望的，但是为了国家独立，民族存亡而战，是正义而伟大的，没什么好反思的。
一声“巴祖卡”，龙文章都变身张立宪了，直接引爆了强烈的共鸣。同样都是兰晓龙的编剧，中国远征军远赴缅甸，中国志愿军远渡朝鲜，虽然属于不同的阵营，但都刻画了普通士兵的艰辛，最后冻僵的战士们真的泪目。三位导演文戏很弱那我们就大篇幅的武戏的策略真的很成功，刺激肾上腺素去渲染英雄主义我觉得很好，凭什么中国不能有英雄主义嘛，我爱中国。
