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'.

5.0 / 煽动性很强。可是到头来导致电影变成了那种低级红高级黑，比原版倒退不少。如何把种族议题和类型元素恰到好处地结合，从导演的《逃出绝命镇》《我们》，再到参与编剧的这部《糖果人》，乔丹 · 皮尔越发不懂得节制了。
最后的20分钟看完...只能吐一句这是什么烂结尾
蜂巢的概念有点视觉冲击，杀人的方式有点匪夷所思。用艺术作为载体和叙述从中世纪到现在的黑人发展史，看得出想要表达的社会议题，只是都差点在台词上说出来了，这把社会议题影视化的举动实在有点受限。
都过去几十年了，JLo女士还在玩《诺丁山》的梗，除了一如既往的赞叹她状态保持的好，别的真的赞不出口。马鲁玛也太帅了....！
太政治正确了 最后十分钟也太生硬了吧 硬拗命贵
美国萧亚轩在演唱会直播婚礼时突然发现未婚夫出轨，然后甩了对方，并在观众席随机挑选了一个路人原地结婚了…好看！很俗套的那种好看～令人嘴角上扬！
很老旧但还是喜欢的题材～洛佩慈状态很不错，很有巨星风采～整体完成度比迷失高一些，也很结合现实了～
看到Maluma哈哈哈哈资源真都是现成的。我大姑太美了，为她心旌摇曳为她喝果蔬smoothie为她做普拉提！强女爱普男，Wilson普得蛮好的（委屈塞隆了！）起码不恶心，合格accessory。
urban legend改编就这么难吗，故事到最后已经开始胡说八道了，映射种族问题停留表面，人物相当无趣，恐怖点嘛，压根没有。你说哪个正常人手溃烂到那样都不去看医生，但得夸这导演本事拍摄功力够的，构图的设计和利用镜像多样的视角，希望保持这种能力到惊奇队长2，反正漫威会帮你完成好剧本好好拍就行
这个电影的完成度对他目标受众的呈现是可以的 简单的故事 饱满的色彩 过气的男女主 可能对部分十二三岁的美国少男女比较戳
就像我作为普通人，在教巨星王宝强如何普通生活，难道巨星都是石头缝里蹦出来的么？
这个电影的完成度对他目标受众的呈现是可以的 简单的故事 饱满的色彩 过气的男女主 可能对部分十二三岁的美国少男女比较戳
不合口味，且没有那么惊艳。肤色问题表现得很赤裸，可能在西方世界比较有共鸣，容易获得高分。
你拍恐怖片弄那么多隐喻干嘛？废话一大篇，真是浪费时间。
音乐很好听，虽然不现实但是甜甜的爱情也太美了～
Marry me 很好听。大陆很少引进资本主义国家的爱情片，生活喜剧片。因为太腐败。洗脑多少年轻人。但依然阻挡不了年轻人对美剧的热爱
男主真的平平无奇，不过，用在这个故事上，就还行吧。能接受，小甜剧看着玩吧。
能把这么有意思的偶像剧设定拍得这么难看也是一种本事
看过老版后，推测一下新版的剧情。发生对着镜子说五遍candyman, 有人被杀死的事情后。黑人男主去查询真相。发现了糖果人都市传说的由来，一个黑人因为与白人女人相爱，被杀。然后，男主被糖果人追杀，糖果人想让男主继承衣钵，继续报复。男主最后凭借心中的爱，战胜了糖果人。说实话，我觉得老版把女主海伦设定为白人，才是真正的精髓所在。最后海伦受到歧视，被烧死成为新一代的都市传说，将种族歧视引申为社会上所有歧视。不知道新版的剧情最后会怎么样。
Marry me和on my way两首歌也太好听了
