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'.

徐帆值得三星，剧情很平淡全靠她撑起来的，前期觉得她演的很一般，后面看到她就开始哭。但是张婧仪演的太差了，她的表演拖后腿的存在。所以，整体给了两星。徐帆抬头说，“我没时间了”。电影院里总共五个人，哭得稀里哗啦的。
开篇女主那么兴奋的抬头看气球，喊了老公一声，不理。端饭到桌上，老公才吃。我仿佛看到了关于我妈妈的一切，付出付出再付出，季佩轸代表了那个年代中国大多数的女性，结局女儿问她一直为别人活值吗？她说：这是我的选择。但是你不一样，妈妈希望你过你自己想要的生活。
看了一会儿就想起来韩版的那部了，怎么说呢，想悲情，却感动不了。集母亲、姐姐、老婆、儿媳于一身，全都在为了你好。但如果没有那么好，自己是不是就不一样了？虽然如此，还是想起了我妈，也是这样的人，愿她安康。
社畜很真实，活着真的很难。但是有的人想活着也是奢望了。母亲，总在家庭生活承担牺牲的责任。拍得一般般。
想起黄执中在『无聊斋』的一期节目中说，他从来不主动去找活，活来找他时，他就有了抱怨的权力（当然，黄可能是自嘲）。但好像是这个理。
故事不复杂，但胜在全程演技在线，讲了一个结局不完美，但温馨感人的的好故事。
徐帆老师演的真好！
题材很接地气，老演员们的表演很用心，美中不足是年轻演员们的演技。
舅舅的演技最戳，坐在那里就是狼狈，让人又气又无奈。整个题材就是带着扎心来的，这个母亲身上真的有我认识的太多人的影子，可惜徐帆没演好。明明是个戳人的题材，说实话我看着好难受，就是别扭的那种难受，跟我妈一起看的，我超不想她代入自己什么的，可能因为我觉得里面没一个人过的真好，现实或许如此，但生活本可不如此，我还得担心我没哭我妈瞧着不高兴，也就舅舅那段泪目了。
演员不错，剧情还行吧。我突然听到赵晓苏声音！
电影中妈妈这个女性角色，为什么需要对每个人负责呢？
母女关系是最有普遍代表性的那类，身为子女的观众们看完此片，或许能有效改善和母亲的关系……几天。
我有感动，是因为自己的妈妈，和影片无关。上一代女性，社会价值观和现在必然是不一样的，脱离时代和地域要求她们，不现实。我歌颂母亲的伟大，但绝不想在这个时代再宣扬母亲的隐忍和付出。我很想骂制片方，丑陋的功利思维，去翻拍一部10年前的片子，就想走捷径，却不反思每一代总是有那么多母亲需要自我牺牲的深层原因。
1.还有什么比妈妈得癌症好哭…
我希望，我能够以本片中张婧仪的角色为戒，对家庭给予更多关注，对父母保持克制，这也是一生的修行。我更希望，社会对母亲和癌症患者给予更多关注，更多地思考中国女性的自我意识。
剧情如此老气横秋+顺拐也就罢了，母女的人设也都不讨喜，还不如刘玫出彩。。。
母亲这个角色太过强大，强大到甚至超出她自己本来预期能做到的程度，以至于在很多时候，我们忘了，她也有她的梦想，她也曾追求过她的人生。只要有母亲在，无论多大岁数的人，多少还可以有点孩子气。我们总说，以后呀，很多事情以后就可以了。但是，“宝贝呀，妈妈等不了了。”
徐帆为什么演这种电影……这种家庭教育下也能养出当小三的女儿、、为了催泪而催泪，什么时候女性才能活出自我而不是绑定歌颂母爱
【黑米影库】全片徐帆对于情绪把控和细节拿捏绝对属于大师级别，那一句 “宝宝，妈妈没时间了” 的确让人动容，除了过于悲情压抑其它没毛病！
挺好看的，把和妈妈腻歪以及闹脾气的样子演绎淋漓尽致，赚取我不少眼泪，看过之后觉得真的要更加珍惜与父母的时光
