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'.

凑合看吧，至少故事编圆了，虽然还是做了太多加法，比如守护一个已经盖棺定论的秘密这事的意义在哪里还真看不出来，另外既然葛大爷还叫富贵，为啥郭涛不是春生呢。
快跑！可以把友邻里面打好评的全部取关的程度。
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
我就觉得一般吧，三星；爱看鬼吹灯系列的家人就说还不错，也许像吧。辛难看，李现太现眼。结局设定说不上好不好，但蛮有新意
超出预想啊，同类型片里高于《国家宝藏》 更高于《古墓丽影》。亲情大义，若隐若现的情谊，对九十年代的用心还原，除了强拉流量明星出演稍稍出戏外，可算作一部完整的有电影气质的中国电影了。四颗星，加一颗鼓励！
电影的节奏太赶了，剪辑非常碎，剧情向前推的非常快，李现和雷佳音相遇后，电影就跟二倍速一样往前赶，导致所有推理和情感的铺垫都显得很不足，最后出来的效果就让人觉得很唐突、费解。对于没看过原著的观众非常不友好，自我感觉上消化不良，很多地方没看懂到底是咋回事。
不知道这一圈人是为的啥，出门左拐左拐左拐再左拐就到家了？
两年多前看的原著，虽然很多细节已经忘了，但仍然对马伯庸的博学叹为观止。所以，即使我已经知道了所有的秘密和玄机了，可还是想再看一看电影。改编得已经很不错了，比起像寻宝游戏解锁般的电视剧版，情节已经足够紧凑。依旧围绕日本归还50年前的武则天明堂弥勒玉佛头展开。二战期间怎么样才能最好的保护古董文物？最危险的地方 就是最安全的地方。许愿的爷爷许一城当年唱了一出绝妙的空城计局中局，一面把真佛头镶进有明显破绽的假佛头里（原著中把这个称之为包玉术，真的太贴切）献给了日本人以便安然地躲过战祸，另一面又制造了一个线索重重的假佛头来迷惑国内的文物贩子头目老朝奉，可谓费尽了心思。电影版最让我惊喜的是 对主角许愿的人设改变，从原来的正义的五脉古董传承人 到电影版里修家电出身但却神怀绝技的底层小人物，更充满戏剧的可塑性。
雷佳音吃完那颗糖后会不会在回去的路上拉肚子啊？
把原著改简单了，李现毫无演技可言，雷大头用力过猛，连葛大爷都有点带跑偏了…
真的很一般，故事很燃很炸很煽情，看完不知道他讲了个啥，几个演员莫名其妙哭的点也很奇怪。
主创想做局中局，结果聪明反被聪明误，不伦不类，漏洞百出。
还可以吧，没有电视剧怨念感强，故事新说的意思～P.S.李现的“爸”叫得太违和了
这部里老朝奉不再是一个悬念，甚至也不是一个反派。整体偏向于探宝冒险。
昨天开始上映，虽然有喜欢的雷佳音，李现，但是这电影不值得去电影看，家里看看就好
作為一部以闖關奪寶為基本敘事線的影片，其設置的關卡可謂名目繁多，摩斯電碼、天干地支、真偽文物、陰陽、八卦、圍棋無所不用其極，初看挺有意思，愈往後便愈令得觀眾審美疲勞。而且，主角父親何以斷定七歲即與其分離的兒子能够實踐如此複雜的解碼？（與其如此，寫一手諭“砸開佛頭”豈非更直截了當？）又何以預測日本人將來必定小白兔似的將佛頭完璧歸趙？（這關係到該片何以成其為一種民族主義或愛國主義的敘事。）從未同祖父謀面、又早早被父親拋弃的主角，又從何獲得達到業內頂尖水准的文物鑒定“家學”？（這裡則又是“高手在民間”的敘事套路。）一部必須講求縝密邏輯的推理電影，卻在諸多情節和行為的合理性問題上容不得細想，不能不說是種硬傷。2021年12月13日17:40於SFC廣州2號廳。
郭子健拍不了真正的a类大片，悟空传，救火英雄都是a类大片但是拍的很小气，他还是适合打擂台那种怪力乱神的cult片，几个演员也没有搭的很好，郭子健浪费过一次乔杉这次葛优也算是浪费了，香港导演拍完全大陆的故事就会显得怪，除暴也是一样，除了布景是那个年的感觉其他的戏很难让大家有真实的共鸣，看起来会有些别扭。导演在找努力还原他不熟悉的事物，找他自己都不懂的笑点。烤猪，重复说话的老奶奶和龙花瓶的特效都能感觉到西游降魔是属于郭的作品，比较可惜本来该是个大爆的片。
适合看过原著或者电视剧的观看 毕竟节奏紧凑了很多 然后主要背景又能从书里或者电视剧里脑补 不过话又说回来了 我到底是着了哪门子道看了书了也看了电视剧了还要来再看一次电影……
不知道怎么说 好像挺好看 挺娱乐 也有些不错的段落 但感觉又有些拼凑感 中段的故事有点坍塌 更像一部贺岁片 煽情搞笑都不缺 古董的相关内容有一定的观影难度 片子也在极力压缩高格调鉴宝知识和一般观影者认知的距离 李现比他平时杂志商务红毯都要好 台词很硬表演也压得住场 辛芷蕾虽然做了次花瓶但也不露怯 现在国产商业片做到这样应该算不错了
技术上完成的还是挺不错的，看完了。不过拍的挺夸张化有点严重
