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'.

保持专注，不要害怕！
【7.5】自己的成功需要谦虚，他人的尊重需要赢得，不公的权利需要斗争，实现这一切，还需要整个家庭的互相理解与支持。运动片的尾段总有一场盛大又揪心的比赛，没赢也算是不落俗套，而这一切又是成功的开始，是必不可少的过程，这让片尾罗列的“实绩”更加震撼。全片生活气息很浓，所有人都活力十足，观感自然舒适，非要说差点什么，可能就是太“正”了吧。
三星半，同一个题目，更想去看爸爸的单人纪录片。不是演员表演问题，大概在剧本重心设计上。
作为非洪粉，甚至洪黑，三星都给敏后了。太逆天了，这真的是在拍电影吗？还是在秀恩爱？洪在摄影机后面和敏后互相表露爱意，为了敏后和她手中的花而将影像转为了彩色。像室外等所有高光区域全部过曝这种问题，是铁定的技术瑕疵啊，虽然我知道他也不care… 从电影节抢人的角度来看，那柏林是相当成功了，为自己争夺嫡系作者，从而建立稳固关系，按照近几年柏林这么疯狂的给奖，下一次还不得给洪金熊？另外洪的这种创作方式和制作模式在疫情的大环境之下确实体现出了优越性。
目前7.3太低了，拍得挺走心，有趣，享受就对了
美国虎爸 不过有目标且一直在努力前进的人值得尊重 史皇演的没话说啊 一掌拍出个影帝是玩笑啦
啊这...............................................................................................
恭喜《拳王查理德》拿奖哈哈哈 这是史密斯的第一个小金人儿吧
美国非裔群体的身份还是在作为外驱力，推动主角向着“更好的明天”前进啊。
是啥让Richard能够在成天枪战、吸毒的社区中如此眼亮心明？难道还是因为他是教徒？
看完全片后我可能要对片名中这个“国王”当贬义词去理解了，因为老理查德在电影中展现的完完全全就是一个控制欲拉满又害怕失败还美其名曰为了女儿们着想的经典“虎爸”形象，而在颁奖典礼上那一巴掌更像是他还没走出这个角色的影子所做出的举动。说到这，我还是感觉史皇的表演和当年在《当幸福来敲门》中有什么质的提升，能够摘得影帝恐怕还是这届质量太平。（我倒是觉得老妈的演出更好）
鸡娃片，用种族题材包装了一下就能从无人问津的剧本变成冲奥片。威廉姆斯姐妹的传奇足以撑起一部黑人题材的励志片，结果非得整个四不像
女主爽文，出道即巅峰，政治又正确，过几年韩国可能会拍一个孙兴民爸爸的故事，谷爱凌的故事谁会拍还不好说，可惜了《花滑少女》没能拍完，而李娜的故事遥遥无期。
当成体育明星的传记片看，会收获失望。影片的重点是刻画一位带有瑕疵、偏执而又自负、坚持的父亲。与《摔跤吧，爸爸》对看，都加入了阶层（肤色）差异带来的现实审视，这部更强调明星父母的心理变化和斗争。
剧情有点像看动画片，touched by it，说什么阶级跨越的可去你娘的吧
非常工整的一部传记片，故事节奏人物都工整到没话讲，will的演绎更是满分！（奥斯卡你发发善心。最后影片落脚到了种族和女性鼓励的点上是非常取巧的行为，毕竟把king已经大剌剌写在了标题。父权的压迫，偏执，却让两姐妹走向了成功，不得不说，是这个世界太荒谬，而女孩成长的弑父总是表现得温情。她们还是成功了不是吗！妈妈的角色其实才是真的心灵的后盾。最后，还是祝福will一举夺魁！也希望所有的族裔的女孩也可以受到鼓舞，但也可以自由成长。
也就得亏成功了，不然就是满嘴跑火车的父权专制自负狂，而且能成功也是因为姐妹俩是真的强有天赋。
4、比赛部分不够扣人心弦；
父母的良苦用心你要很久以后才懂，但是压迫可是及时就有反应的。
天才少年/女出道不容易，很少人做到整个职业生涯那么牛逼，尤其是网球
