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'.

一星给张涵予一星给范伟最后一星给导演服装美术道具和画面吧，不能再多了
看前特地又看了遍前三部，事实证明是对的。岁月的痕迹真的一目了然地残酷，这艘舰上的男女新兵的戏份尴尬地像硬塞进来的关系户，后半部分突然涌出一堆熟面孔以为自己在看Sense 8呢……不得不说乔纳森是真的帅！
导演貌似特别沉迷执着于静态的典雅品质画面，一动起来视听语言的笨拙和想象力的贫瘠立马露怯，人物也是以造型装逼为主，动作性是缺失的。作为院线商业片也没有像模像样的名场面给观众带来惊奇感受。这些锅真得导演背
比想象得还塑料 有些方面作为年代战争片它的质感我也不知道怎么解决 但还有另外很多方面完全可以做更好 浮
有腕儿，表演没毛病，翻拍，有对过去经典的情结，一看就是投资大片，不是小剧场作品，但为啥会是这种效果？症结在哪？导演格局太小，生硬加入很多动作类和谍战类商业元素，谍战类已经在近年被拍烂了，悬崖之上至少设置了一些巧妙的对弈情节，这部完全倒向了低智化，所以最后只剩下老戏骨们的苦演和无脑夸张的动作了，最终把英雄们演死，仅是上世纪电影中的老套英雄主义表现手法，为了牺牲而牺牲。而且布景多用雪景，这似乎让人感觉置身东北人而不是山东。或许真正的铁道英雄没有铁道游击队那么神勇的形象，但我更喜欢老版本的乐观主义色彩，这个有点不伦不类，过于阴郁压抑。
虽然和想象中的《铁道游击队》《地道战》《地雷战》那样的人民英雄形象不同，这种新时代的沉浸式服化道景还是有很强的写实代入感，值得尝试。
没有喜悦，没有大杀四方，只有寒冷，胜利是一点一点抠出来的。（老范一炸封神）
唯一的亮点可能就是范伟老师了……其他的，平庸啊
电影质感不错 人物扁平了点，周也角色比较酱油片尾和歌曲不错
拍的这是个啥
什么汉阳兵工厂试枪员，消解了严肃性。范伟老师炸人一幕好评，蔫人不到时候不吃人。
几年前流量为王，于是成龙带着自己犯了事的儿子拍了部《铁道飞虎》，烂的不行。
鸡肋般的打戏（慢动作/子弹时间滥用，被漫威吊打的那种，像在看少儿低配版《300勇士》……动作设计像便了秘，烂到得不停用中近景遮瑕）、
人物塑造单一，感觉只写了一个主角？！2个小时的电影空洞如此，不应该啊。不能老拿历史情怀来补漏。老版本铁道游击队可好看的不得了。也就比抗日神剧好些吧。
一星给张涵予一星给范伟最后一星给导演服装美术道具和画面吧，不能再多了
以铁道游击队为主题的抗战片能拍到如此平庸乏味也是很不容易的，看的脑袋昏昏欲睡。影片在为铁道队举行入党仪式中达到高潮，念着那宣誓词，配着响烈激扬的配乐，让我感动的热泪盈眶。真不愧是爱国主义的献礼片，对目标观众的目的达到就行了。这大雪纷飞一刻也没有停过，挺浪费雪的。
2.5 铁道游击队的故事被翻拍过很多次，同样的故事总能找到不一样的呈现风格，本以为黑帮片的影像美学可以产生绝妙的化学反应，但无奈最终的呈现效果差强人意，一切都太过注重氛围感而忽略了故事本身的创作表达。两个小时的故事都太过温吞，更多的是在塑造冷峻的气氛，而导演功力又不太够，为数不多的亮点就只剩下范伟的演技了。但无论如何，曾经的影视一哥华谊，在经历无数变革之后也开始走向主旋律的道路了
看的昏昏欲睡，电影的节奏就像一场菜鸡互啄的足球比赛。充斥着不合理与哈欠连天，白瞎了九十分钟，当然，这部电影可不止九十分钟。
把主旋律电影拍得紧张好看能有多难？这片要不是抗日题材我都想给一星。情感，悬疑，动作，历史，等等，只要编导能把握住其中一项也不至于成片这么拉跨。
画面很有质感，构图很讲究。能夸的大概这些，范伟的演技不用夸了
