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'.

打着以真实故事为基础的旗号搞魔幻，煽情隔靴搔痒，搞笑小打小闹，奇迹轻而易举，允儿yyds。
煽情过于刻意 故事节奏细碎 缺乏起伏 男主太过杰克苏 剧情太理想化 前面还好 后面就很拖沓了 导致观影情绪很难保持持续饱满状态 这种电影最好控制在90分钟内
不是我说，韩国没有人了吗，请三四十岁的人去演高中生。
冲着允儿看的，允儿真的好看又活泼灵动啊！故事其实很简单，没有什么跌宕起伏的情节，就是一个成长于深山老林的理科天才一直被自己的母亲和姐姐因自己而死自责，在姐姐精神陪伴的鼓舞下以及小女友的鼓励下，和村民建了一个火车站，最终和火车司机的父亲达成和解，赴美读书，放下了心结。
依托真实新闻素材而改编，本身很好看，但后半段太依赖于闪回交代前史，叙事也不太连贯，姐姐的戏份呈现的方式有点问题。
1、看他们哭的时候一点感觉都没有
以真实事件改编，前半程太过松垮，林允儿这个角色可有可无。后半段解开父子之间的心墙后，才让这个故事鲜活起来。
剧情虽然一般 节奏也不怎么好 但是不妨碍它感人啊 尤其还真的有这个地方
失望，没有看到奇迹或者不知哪一桩才是奇迹，是给总统写信建车站吗？但总统既没有回音，车站也没有列车停靠；还是数学天才赢得美人归，再去美国留学是奇迹，但这些都太拉胯了。姐弟之间的人鬼戏倒是给电影扳回一点成色。
这可能是全亚洲乃至全球的共性：父子之间总是讳莫如深。但好在，那些爱和歉意，总能借着韩影之口讲出来～
个人的奋斗，时代的裹挟，再加上一点运气。奇迹就这么来了。
矫情加煽情，这部片一方面想拍成天才少年如何成功的奇迹典范，一方面又想通过姐姐父亲的家庭亲情和苦情来赚眼泪，另一面又要加爱情线来调节全片的氛围，但手法太娄，哪一面都看着无趣。
到中段忽然从励志变为奇幻。不过不得不佩服韩国电影做温情。3.5
4.5星。在我们能够接触到的所有电影中，几乎每一个「天才」都会有点与众不同之处。要么疯疯癫癫，要么自言自语，要么神经兮兮。而郑俊京的与众不同，就是他有一个一直陪在自己身边的「姐姐」。我们都说天才是疯子，那是因为他们除了聪明以外，还拥有我们常人所没有的很多品质，比如执着，比如一根筋，比如对某件事近乎偏执的坚持。年度韩式催泪励志大戏。恭喜朴政民终于可以独挑大梁撑起一部大戏了。0.5星扣在片长，尤其是后半部分的略显拖沓。其实这类电影到某个关键的点，就完全可以戛然而止了。
李圣珉再一次贡献了精湛的演技，林允儿这个角色可有可无，表演也不出彩，是怎么拿到青龙影后提名的？看来韩国电影圈也开始有资本操纵了
两条情感线不搭，结尾是不是强行加的，然后男主姐姐那我觉的没必要这样写，后面就总感觉怪怪的。不过整体还是不错。
编剧的功力非比寻常啊，一件普通的事编得这样青春与曲折
表达方式平和最终温情，表现上少了韩式的搞笑，多了点日式的煽情
行事古板的父亲，成绩超群、生活能力极差的天才弟弟，想入非非的女友，意外复生的“姐姐”……一条连接深山村庄的铁路，一段险象环生的必经地，一座没有名分的火车站……很难在一部电影里看到把亲情、友情、爱情都如此准确地表现出来，也很久没看到一部笑过哭，哭过又笑，笑笑哭哭如此反复的电影，电影编剧真的十分不简单。家庭戏最难写，它必须与观众产生共情，并且要让观众觉得这一切都很真实。虽然对于角色人物的设定的确有些夸张，但起码还是按照韩国影视剧最为推崇的套路完成的脚本，内容丰富，情感丰沛，起承转合都极为精妙。虽然这类题材的电影算不上新鲜有趣，但也确实是能赚走不少观众的笑声和眼泪。
