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'.

昭和末期的镜头光感 看得很带感 有yakuza的味道了
一堆漏洞，逻辑差的要死还故作深沉，无病呻吟，呸！
第二部，最后收尾的时候，或者下半部分已经优点烂了，很多不符合逻辑的操作。我都看傻了。
“从来没有爱过这个世界，它对我也一样。直到她的出现，把我的世界扯出一道口子，让黑暗从这里宣泄出去，使我不再害怕，一个人独自行走。”
小镇的色调，远山，背景，氛围感都特别好，男主画像师演员长相很有辨识度，气质也很相符；两位女主也很有气质和感觉，但看了一点，我这种对推理弱智的人都猜到了结果，悬疑太不够了。林音说话的调调就像是一个饱经了世事沧桑有了很多人生阅历的老人，一个二十来岁的沒出过县城的女孩，哪有那么深刻的人生感悟。还有那位刑警队长，莫名其妙讨厌画像师，片中也没表现出他有在分析案情，这个角色很莫名其妙。虽然剧情和角色都有bug，但我觉得这三个主演不错。
女知青、文工团、芭蕾舞、照相馆、杀人案、画像师、悬案，这些元素被国产悬疑片翻来覆去地拍，比的就是哪个更有新意。显然本片从剧作和摄影上只能说乏善可陈，缺乏那种新意，最后的反转也没有丝毫意外。还有，和石黑一雄没有一毛钱关系……
画面非常棒，有时甚至有油画的味道，剧情稍弱些
因为题目而看，结果无关，但也还不错，2倍速播放毫无影响，也不会过分在意纰漏和细节。
这个暴力美学有点深作欣二的意思，但是纯粹感官刺激就没啥太大意思
我很喜欢这种慢吞吞的感觉，现在已经没有什么人拍这种娓娓道来的片子了
7.2分 不过在如今的日系黑帮片里确实属于上等作品。本片一点都没有港味，别被误导！就因为有了大多数的黑帮片都会设计的情节套路就港味了？PS：建议看第二部之前先看第一部，不然会感触不深。
5/10 ，《芳华》版《暴雪将至》《黑处有什么》？
后半段崩的像大呲花。
《孤狼之血2》2022－191
平淡不代表有深意。中途推理很莫名其妙。一个画像师，靠一些磁带画出了凶手，磁带又是谁录的呢？叙述遭遇的不是已经被害了吗？凶徒谁要出镇都有消息，说明是个熟人社会，怎么老刑警查案资料新刑警队长没见过不知道吗？怎么就被刚来的上海画像师拿到来画像了呢？场景也很简单。摄影构图也不是很成熟，不知道要表达什么，也没能带起多少观众的情绪。选角凑和，至少严华的果敢和林音的柔弱形成对比。但还有位姑娘，存在的意义就是证明主角认真，但直到最后才说出重大破案线索，好莫名啊。
真的太牛了一定会再看的。这个编剧行云流水，不落窠臼，人物的性格承接的流畅。暴力美学了
结局太仓促了，想放的东西太多，但是没有完全表达出来，有点小遗憾
比第一部差太多，第一部的大叔们才是主角。第二部除了老戏骨寺岛进能看，剩下一群暴走族小年轻，还有啥意思。
画面还行，人物塑造比较失败，比如说队长吧，感觉得出导演是有点想往廖凡那个方向塑造，结果是大多数时候看起来就像一条疯狗。
