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'.

好家伙！请这仨演员出演的片子咋能无聊到这个地步 同感上一部还是《红色通缉令》每个设定每个片段都能猜得到我也是服了 东拼西凑的剧本 倒是个完整故事 但是讲了跟没讲一样 动作戏和航拍多到我以为我看的是迈克尔贝 不过CE演反派可以多来点 他演反派戏一般都很好
当危险本身趋近于无穷，与危险有关的其它则趋近于零。
没有遗憾的遗憾，只能说对本片自始至终没有报太高的期待。那些所谓“俗套”看着亲切就好，从路人的角度来看都还行，这就挺好。
？……？………………？？……………………？？？？…………
可以说，是女性凝视下对于男性形象的一大扫射了。因为并不脸盲，所以在神父出来后我就隐约猜到导演的意图。到后来的直接每个形态都有一个一分为二的手臂时，大概更直接摊牌了。而片尾最后十几分钟简直是邪典电影的高峰。。在等不到满足时，男人居然能自我繁殖。那么最终走出来的是一个完整牌的心魔，也就不足为奇。最后的完整版拥有前面几个全部的特性。而他至死都还自以为是的对着女人说，我想要的不过是你的爱。------好滑稽。
前一半很好，明亮的画面配上诡异的氛围，不适感营造的非常有感觉。后一半的展开很神，强烈的个人风格化，隐喻我也能体会到，但整体还是不大喜欢，拍的太虚太抽象了。另外，杰西.巴克利女士的表演依然很出彩，展现了一个演技好的人演传统意义的恐怖片是什么样子的。
A24掉入了对Arthouse Horror的疯狂执念中了。不过虽然内在的缺陷明显，奇观/元素随意堆砌，但是影像视听风格塑造得独具一格我就已经挺满意了（谁不想在一个雨夜沉浸在这样的视听和视觉里呢）【但是希望Ari Aster的新作品别这样】
奈飞这几年拍了太多这种显示其人傻钱多的无脑大片。毫无逻辑合理性可言。
挺好看的啊……一切都是非常经典，节奏，画面，配乐，所有都很经典。大概适合我这种老年人？
全都是老得不行的桥段，一点新意也没有。美队的表演出奇地还不错。大vallian的表演完全没有说服力。整个故事情节没有逻辑和主线。大概还是50年前那一套表现男性气质的东西，一点进步也没有。
啥都有 就是很难看 而且奈飞是不是觉得取景地越多就越好看了 并不是 五分钟换个地反而更无聊
个人评分1.0/10【F】
曼谷 维也纳 布拉格。主角表现相对碟中谍等三大特工，比较弱（敌人也弱化了），两次被骗，两次被抓，且没有危机预警。
2. 奥迪这次的钱肯定是给够了，电动Q8秒杀保卡宴和大G，RS7一出场更是秒天秒地，最后还不忘给上了岁数的R8找找场子。
爆米花动作片 看得爽就完事了 不过美队比高司令演得好不少啊 另外网飞是真有钱 可以当成旅游片来看了
经费在燃烧的网大/老高肯化前 珍惜这段缘/Ana好美🥺
时至今日，特工题材影片的玩法已被《007》、《碟中谍》、《谍影重重》等系列影片玩得差不多了，剩下的花头实在不多，只得如《王牌特工》、《疾速》系列那般另辟蹊径。本片整体剧作逻辑及表现形式皆是老一套的、被别人玩剩下的东西，因此缺乏新意的剧情完全就是各式特工电影的拼接缝合之作。背后不得不杀人灭口的惊天秘密竟如此稚嫩，着实令人有些哭笑不得。不过动作戏部分不算拉胯，知道单纯的打斗无法满足观众胃口，也想尽办法丰富视觉上的美感，算是值得称赞的地方。另外就是为了桃总出演的反派额外再加一星。
别看！快跑！槽多无口！花了两亿结果找不到个像样的动作指导，跟搞笑一样
A24总是能把娱乐性拉高，老题材新视听，真是，越看到后面越开心。影片直接把隐喻一口血喷到观众脸上，想不理解也难
13亿的真金白银花下去 还是勉强能看的 今年目前为止最好的动作电影了
