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'.

不好意思，这个领域拔叔还是没有竞争对手，这部独特之处姑且在于专注女性吧。上一版短评因为ideology问题（？）被删了，咱也不知道哪有问题，那就单纯夸一夸包的可爱吧，彬彬有礼食人魔，结局竟然还傻白甜了，现在全世界都知道演傻白甜反派找他准没错了！
每一个元素的原创性都几乎为零，乍一看意义也不大，但这么组合起来在内核上有些意外的妙处，且整体性和节奏感尚可。是教育片。
许多灵光闪现处也掩盖不住整体的平庸，如果不是塞吧唧的美颜撑着就更没意思了，闲来无事用来看个乐呵还行，毕竟塞吧唧被爆x的大场面还是特别值得一看👀
大可不必放這麽多歌。能get到男性的剝削和女性的對抗的idea不過一切元素都利用得有些單薄。最後的逃脫實在是太快了吧，不過女主在房間每日勤鍛煉體力增强也不是沒可能。384這個cannibal真是毀於戀愛腦，笑死我了！
60/100 美术不错。导演的野心不足致使其沦为平庸的轻喜剧。
三星半。女主的演技確實還不錯，裡面的一些黑色幽默也還蠻逗笑，只是題材不算新穎，中後段略平庸，可能是這種類型片看多了導致閾值提高，感覺手法還可以更為極端一些，更讓人不適一些……
主题很清晰，似乎清晰得过头了。剧情简单，惊悚氛围弱，拍摄和布景审美不错。所以说刚date几次不要跟着对方去荒郊野岭…… Daisy依然漂亮
女性意识觉醒好片！一个酷girl还要穿上最直男审美的连衣裙跳舞，太讽刺了。从开头的猥琐相亲男，到三个女孩间的互助，最后还要用 he is married?! 和 U up？ 来继续讽刺，太妙了。整篇的音乐和摄影都特别完美，冬兵原来这么变态 哈哈哈
情节紧凑不拖沓，规规矩矩。就是头上订了个钉子结果滑倒那里也太好笑了，直接笑出声。😂
seb老得……啧啧啧，一脸的沟沟壑壑，阴影打下来活像蜘蛛侠的滑板博士绿魔
看得我屁股疼！有新意且不做作，和一般恐怖片不一样。
真的不错啊 还是无名无姓亚裔演的 支持就完事了 还要什么自行车
6⃣要比变态男更变态
亚裔演员表现得不错哦，里面各种反转也很精彩，应该是最近为数不多的好片子了。
一部你每隔五秒按一次快进都不会影响观感的无聊电影。作为一部惊悚片，前期既没铺垫好，后期也没什么让人为之一振的桥段，没有任何惊悚感，剧情也是寡淡无味。
About some Tinder’s stories & Some girls help girls stories 不仅如此 还要弄死那些帮狗男人的girls
人物行为动机不太成立。钉枪居然可以这么用，绝
最近恐怖片里最讨喜的正面角色似乎都是黑人，这部直接黑人+ lesbian (ㅇㅅㅇ❀)
#日舞2022#看饿了！立刻！马上！吃烤肉去！
6.5，挺刺激的，但故事不够好，设定和主题过于先行的那种片子
