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'.

8.5 才知道原来给PP打码是台版才有的，而且这次打的不是动感超人，而是蜡笔……
做精英的人生怎样 一直胡闹的人生又怎样 我野原新之助只知道把握当下！
能看亿遍。
这部也太棒了！幼儿园推理比小学生推理强多了😂。而且能感觉到好多风格，青春感，荒诞，还有小新风间拌嘴时就像是漫才。传递的观点也很棒，不要在意别人的目光，自在而活。就真的语无伦次了！
看过的小新剧场版中最内容丰满最结构复杂最用心的一部了，理念和情怀也是满分，爆发了呀
搞笑梗够密集结尾还够燃我只剩下没有能够去电影院的后悔了。
真的太喜欢小新了，风间你这个傲娇受也只有小新能受得了你。他们是终于幼儿园升小学了么😂
想和你们上同一个学校..这么可爱的愿望我也曾经有过.
我从小就很喜欢看蜡笔小新，因为我觉得小新是这个世界上难得的纯真快乐的小孩吧，他能永远保持着自我，能享受着此时此刻属于孩子的快乐。他虽然不是所谓的“精英”，却也能从一个孩子的角度看透世俗，看透很多连大人都看不懂的道理。小新从来就不是愚笨的，他是这世上最最聪明的小孩。
很好看，可可爱爱的，也没有无敌大boss，剧情向多一点的小新更可爱
俗语有云：青春是一场大雨，即便感冒了，还是盼望回头再淋一次！去他喵的精英，燃起来吧，努力当个笨蛋小孩！
一如既往的热血，但奇怪感动程度与笑点已经不及十年前的几部剧场版了。
最难过的在于，故事在讲述五个小孩终于有追寻青春的事，但是这五个小孩却永远长不大，就像永恒族里面的那个小孩一样，尽管已经无数人看着他们经历青春乃至死亡，但是小心他们却永远是五岁的小孩，不会长大、不会恋爱、不会变老，其实真的是一件难过的事。
非常意外的好看！青春是就算无意义也开心，犯错也开心，就算知道和朋友会渐行渐远，但是当下的我们开心就好！最后一段从开始跑就疯狂流泪 超出预期的好看！
这部也太棒了！幼儿园推理比小学生推理强多了😂。而且能感觉到好多风格，青春感，荒诞，还有小新风间拌嘴时就像是漫才。传递的观点也很棒，不要在意别人的目光，自在而活。就真的语无伦次了！
用小孩子的方式把深沉道理的故事讲明白又有趣，蜡笔小新做得太好了
8.5 我们还期望从一部全年龄向动画长片里得到什么呢？如此深度，足矣。
33→近视眼→犯人是大雄！（哈哈哈串戏了）
臺灣片名｜《蠟筆小新：謎案！天下春日部學院的怪奇事件》
不知道为什么散发着古早味，以及已经过了看蜡笔小新的年纪。PS：万万没想到摘下面具是个いけめん啊
