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'.

看到分这么低我就放心了。夏雨的许愿、乔振宇的药不然、蔡文静的黄烟烟绝对是无法超越的最佳选角，电影版就是在自取其辱。
不得不承认，这是我看过的最“精神错乱”的电影。
阿如那8分，葛优咏梅7分，雷佳音6分，辛芷蕾5分，李现4分
观众基础蛮好，估计票房应该还行。整体不算太差，但也没那么精彩，还算能看。
雷佳音和葛优全程在线，"父子情深"
颇为精彩好看的爆米花书改悬疑历史寻宝片，题材并不新鲜了，但胜在谜面宏大、过五关斩六将之后仍然设置了非常反转有张力的谜底。在「超时空同居」和「刺杀小说家」之后再一次get到雷佳音的帅点，乍一看稀松平常、时而吊儿郎当，但关键时刻都能man上去，书袋掉的也有涵养，拥有令人信任和安心的稳定气场。另外，辛芷蕾也太好看了叭，复古力max(✧∇✧)葛大爷着实老了不少，但凭实力证明了「你大爷还是你大爷」。只有李现用力过猛的偶像演技令人出戏。
但是雷老师这个角色演得浑然天成
对小说改编作品就不该抱太大希望。
就补完之后顿时明白了为什么几个月来问看过的朋友的问题：“李现究竟在这个片子里色不色”→他们听后失语的原因，帅哥滤镜尽因为稀烂的逼王式演技及全程配音台词摔得粉粉碎。故事本身就陈思诚唐探+“我要把宝贝献给国家”式中国特色古玩类型片水平，虽然不算俗套……吧？但为什么可以拍得这么难看，生离死别都像是密室逃脱（未有全国金奖的非直营店版本）的水平，纯粹浪费特效和一众老大牌的……演技？观感直到最后看到英皇后茅塞顿开，确实是那种老贺岁港片的味道，上次看这种片还是《澳门风云》series。2.5归2，走好不送。
解密过程还是十分生硬，年代感打造的不错，“这个礼物好，能生养“这个笑点好，”郑国渠和他奶演得好，和《国家宝藏》相比还是差得远。
真的好看！！！有大电影那味了，而且有的地方的光影真的好好看，虽然我不懂，但是好有质感，好舒服。顺便想说，李现真的好帅救命好帅好帅！！！极度养眼呲溜！
还行，剧情不拖沓，演技都在线，特效还OK。雷佳音又让我相信了他一回，没让我失望。药不然的选角有点奇怪，不够狠，总让我以为他是好角色。剧情也挺迷惑的，直接告诉儿子真相不就行了吗？让儿子白跑一趟，这不坑儿吗。
观影体验不错，完成度不低，是近期难得的工整、有艺术感、有审美，没有拉胯短板的类型片。演员阵容上，在内地演艺圈的集体演技洼地下，这片中的所有演员都已经算是大高原了，葛大爷更是演出了喜马拉雅、冈仁波齐一骑绝尘的味儿，无论是表和里都专治鸡蛋里挑骨头，片子档次一下就提上去了，太提气了。愿有一天，葛大爷的演技成为中国演艺界的底线（口嗨一下而已）。故事上，编剧是用心的了，拍卖行那段很惊艳。印象中李现在同一拨演员中算是演戏从不拉后腿的，本片中他引领的副线是有加分项的，有小双线的意思；雷佳音真是自带TVB男主角级别的好感度滤镜，和谁都有CP感。建议哥俩以后有机会多和葛付贵大爷拍点父子三人的喜感日常，加上辛芷蕾的那句，那三声爸，真是全片最顶的一段了。朱芸编的音乐做得也挺棒，是给哪吒配过乐的人没错了。PS郑国渠真香。

比起夏雨的差的太多，剧情压缩太多就匆匆忙忙人物片面化。
还可以，就是有一点不懂，既然假头里面是真头，那许一城不还是卖国吗
李现油腻得像是透过屏幕给我扇耳光，和大头哥同场的戏份完全被碾压。为什么设定很有趣的电影，可以烂成这样？
葛艺术家现在演啥都游刃有余🤣20211204力旺广场万达
大头敲开佛头，然后吃下过期20年的买糖，这心中的滋味一般人很难体会。
节奏蛮不错，非常工整流畅，古董局中局这个片名下过于突出的可能是古董了，前半部分各种炫技和术语堆上去可以把我这个路人唬住，而局中局的感觉没太出来，无论是父亲和葛大爷角色的反转设计都有些生硬，辛芷蕾的角色也有些工具人，不过本片确实是现在院线非常缺乏的类型片，虽然细节上可以再打磨，但至少可以让观众看的过瘾。（7/10）
