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'.

观影时几度落泪。「你跟我不一样，你勇敢多了。」沉默的争执和和解，用手语唱出对家人的爱。
不错的温情小品，但不至于好到拿奥斯卡最佳影片的程度。
哭到停不下来的点是爸爸用双手用力感受着女儿的声线那里，真的只剩下眼泪了。
第三幕考音乐学院之前都非常打动我，Ruby的独当一面和唱歌时的情绪释放都太有魅力了！整个家庭的人物关系很真实，大家各自有内心情感需求，没有人会无私到完全牺牲自己，但又会在最关键的时刻永远站在家人这一边。最后如愿考上大学有一点过于理想化，但也想不到更好的解决方法，毕竟电影还是要给人希望的。（虽然并没有解决家庭生意的问题）
一出生就是一家人的“保姆”，最后又勇敢的去追求自己人生。呈现的不是弱势家庭关怀，而是出生在这样的家庭，也有幸福的生活和能够去闯荡。正如演母亲的演员也是聋人影后。里面的每个清澈的木吉他音和优美的歌声都浸入心里——无声的世界，另类的成长，满溢的爱。
其实影片很多关键情节都来自原版电影，翻拍的《健听女孩》则带入更多叙事角度去深层次挖掘这个设定，对相同的故事做出了不同的解读和延伸。
一气呵成，鸡汤喝到饱不嫌腻，后半段看得全程眼里含泪…
2、影片讲述的是一个健听女孩的成长故事。主角是一个热爱唱歌的女孩，出生在一个靠捕鱼为生的聋哑人家庭，当她陷入个人和家庭、梦想与责任的两难境地时，她会做出怎样的选择？
年度十佳备选，圣丹斯剧情片评审团大奖，选取聋哑人这一社会边缘群体构筑起一个典型美式家庭青春逐梦的故事，健听女主则是作为整个家庭与外界沟通的桥梁，原来丑国对渔业的打压也快赶上欧盟了。人物关系上不同于《爆裂鼓手》里的魔鬼师徒，而是如《放牛班》般的良师益友。导演能把这样一个略显俗套的故事拍得朴素动人，父亲将手放在女儿的声带位置“听”到音乐，几乎不需要刻意的情绪渲染就能达到“此时无声胜有声”的高级感，对于聋哑人声音设计的构思亦能让观众感同身受。据说拍本片时遇到的最大难题是买《Starman》的版权。
看过一模一样的一部电影，但结尾还是一直在哭。
消音的段落真是神来之笔，不单单是一个电影技法，而是让普通人也能体会到一丁点听障人群感受的电影魔力。
身体的缺陷，意味了社会欲望的删减，让夫妻更加恩爱，让这家人更加亲密。把事业与梦想在内的社会关系讲述得略显理想化，对人物情感的表达却又极其真实。女性镜头下的爱与家庭，温暖而坚实。
我一直觉得 听觉可能是我最容易放弃的五感之一 但是对于听障来说 唉……
你看完，你会觉得挺好看的，但是又会觉得好像不够深刻，但是也不失为一个优点，因为会让我们更容易入口，再加上音乐属性，爱情属性的加持，你会觉得观影异常的顺利，是一部不太需要动脑的，只需要观看的电影。
一直即视感，后来才发现就是把贝利叶一家重拍了一遍，何必啊何必？
想想也是，本来有很现实的渔民劳工题材可大展拳脚，却执拗于亲情家庭音乐小圈子里陈腔烂调。比来比去这部BP的格局确实很小。
聋哑人家庭里唯一的健全孩子真是一个新颖的切入点，亲情羁绊和追求梦想之间的冲突其实是比较俗套了，但原生家庭的巨大困境赋予了这个故事更厚重的情感，无论女主如何选择似乎都可以理解，当然影片最终还是让家庭成员之间达成和解迎来一个皆大欢喜的结局。新颖的角度和演员们出色的演技让这部心灵鸡汤的治愈度很高，但似乎也没有好到拿奥斯卡最佳影片的地步。
表演太加分了，感情真挚，剧本小细节写的好，虽然说BP有点太过，仍然不失是一部佳片

父亲听不到音乐，但却能在周围人脸上看到音乐，还是挺不错温情故事。
