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'.

范伟演得真是太好了，给他加1分。
范伟演技高光啊
整体环境和氛围很到位，质感很棒。起初以为会有谍战，结果居然什么也没有什么，直接扒火车。但扒火车居然能扒的这么无聊，都是些陈芝麻烂谷子的故事，不弄出点新意来看一半就要打瞌睡了。荒野大镖客扒火车都比这个好看啊。人物也毫无代入感，还有那莫名其妙的动机。我以为还能再来一部智取威虎山，没想到来了个铁道飞虎。
前半部小黄片，后半部恐怖惊悚片，算是符合各种口味。就是剧情有点无脑，冲着女主演们的颜值得给三星
护士笔墨太少，完全是打酱油的角色，番位诈骗。谭凯可惜了，他的角色明显比魏晨后面那个角色有意思，但没办法，没流量和背景嘛，同样类比华谊和博纳最近两部主旋律影片的市场反响对比，2021年了，你还拍抗日？它漂亮国大爹现在都得跪舔兔子！
1 星给新人导演。整体制作非常精良，几个主要演员表演都很精准，令人印象深刻。类型定位略有偏差，和上映时的市场没对接上，市场表现可惜了电影品质。
这个主要放在雪天，感觉是在向《智取威虎山》的氛围靠拢。《悬崖之上》也是雪景，张艺谋受到黑泽明影响那么深，当然也要尝试拍雪景。
一直不停的大雪、轰隆隆的火车声把故事的紧张肃杀的氛围感拉满，剧情环环相扣，观看过程始终能被剧情所吸引。演员演技不用说，抗日硬汉，铁道上的故事一直是传奇。
又是一部宠冲着A24名头来看又大失所望的电影，披着恐怖片外衣的《我要成为大明星/老年爱情故事/论性的自由》
战斗场景都不行， 武器杀伤效果都是看网文意淫出来的。其他的还可以，不错的手工电影。
心脏病也并没有带来什么剧情上的变化
老范可圈可点 片尾刘德华唱《铁道游击队》 瞬间感动了
中规中矩的主旋律电影，不至于6分以下吧！长津湖水门桥之类，多花点钱多花的zzzq的话题就值7分以上了？
猎奇啊 满屏血肉横飞 老年人sex辣眼睛 结尾警官这踏马是一部恐怖片笑死
我们先辈的英雄电影给拍成这样，处处都假的不行。剧情有似没有，莫名其妙迷迷糊糊，大雪纷飞一头雾水。只有范伟老师一个人在认认真真塑造着角色。包括张涵予在内所有人物都被蒙在皑皑白雪后面看不清楚。要不是时间太晚，我都想把老电影《铁道游击队》再看一遍。
这大雪和滤镜一点也不像我山东，直到小么哥出来，我真笑喷了，鲁味太足啦！！
རྒ་བའི་འཁུར་གྱིས་མནན་ཞིང་མགོ་ལྐོགས་དུར་ཁུང་དུ་འཇོག་ལ་ཉེ་ཞིང་། ལུས་ཡོངས་མི་སྡུག་པའི་གཉེར་མས་ཁེངས་ནའང་ད་དུང་འདོད་ཆགས་ཀྱིས་མནར་གྱིན་པ་དེ་འཇིགས་པ་ལ་ཨང་།
两星半。电影质感确实够了，但是拍的太过于平庸了，加上没有大场面，那就很吃剧本了，结果就是无聊没有什么波动
看看挤挤时间再去微山湖
车站和“儿子”的分别，那一声“叫爹”是最大的泪点，和日本人正面交锋时那句“我讲你奶奶个腿儿”或将成为经典语录。范伟老师一人撑起了整部戏，他这次又演了个“小人物”，但却是个大英雄。
