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'.

看完觉得有点悲伤怎么回事。涂鸦四勇士万岁！
7.5/10。想象力爆炸，新酱永远是最坚强的勇者。
谁能想到，一把年纪的我，竟然看小新看哭了（捂脸）……小时候看小新一直get不到点，现在明白了，哆啦A梦是给小孩子看的，但小新其实是给大人看的吧，大人才需要孩子气的纯真，和最简单又原始的情感啊。
边看边担心会不会有女拳出击，总之我还是很喜欢的，竟然还愚蠢泪目了😢
小男孩有着中年男人对年轻美女一样的性欲就很恶
请大数据不要给我推这类的了
看过那么多蜡笔小新剧场版，唯一一部和“蜡笔”联系紧密（调侃一下）
攻击手段稍微有点恶心，其他的话我都很喜欢，在蜡笔小新的世界里遭殃的永远是大人哈哈哈，在蜡笔小新的世界里配角总是出彩的，是立体的，所以结局的时候我还小小难过了一下
这年头的小新基本变成Cosplay秀了。cos小新和伙伴们演各种不是小新风格的东西。
三个涂鸦出来的角色设定十分好！大人们的贪生怕死有时还不及小朋友的勇往直前，十分社畜！
看过那么多蜡笔小新剧场版，唯一一部和“蜡笔”联系紧密（调侃一下）
唯一的亮点是对于虚伪的刻画
对于涂鸦的深层意义缺少探讨，所以王国靠涂鸦支撑的设定就比较迷，而且团结众人也只能靠对小新的感谢来发声，并不是唤醒遗失的童趣之类。
我看哭了，蜡笔小新真的蜡笔拯救世界。片尾曲如果看中文歌词那是画龙点睛的歌曲啊。非常非常厉害的动画片。
一旦接受了设定，一切都变得有意思起来了呢~竟然要一条隔夜胖次起到关键作用，还显得十分“热血”，不愧是你，小新！
肥嘟嘟左卫门
剧情很充实，其实像是十年前甚至是二十年前的感觉，一切不出意料，但是还是很动人啊。质朴又动人。比之前几部好。
从来不会让我们失望的小新，每一部剧场版都在教大人如何做人做事！
近几年的蜡笔小新剧场版都是这样，说差吧，总有一些片段让人印象深刻，说好吧，比起早些年的还是有些差距，
我还是比较喜欢以前那个以伙伴、勇气、家族为主题的故事
