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'.

2.用后即弃的白手套永远是底层
这种片子不太适合给身边人安利，因为你不知道谁是那种看《战狼》会看到肾上腺素飙升的主。

最后半小时的反转有点为了反转而反转了。忽略掉印度电影已有的毛病，电影基础立意和表达都是非常完整和有张力的。乌合之众，程序正义，民意的操纵和引导，都是当今现实最值得关注的问题，在引起讨论和思考的角度上，电影做的挺好。
让指责的人戴上手铐的政治
电影—振聋发聩！现实—印度政府：你们尽管拍，有什么改变算我输。
虽然情节、设定背景都平淡且老套的很，但它还是能一步步把你引入陷进让你泪流不已。
不知我们何时可以有这种自信。
中规中矩的公路科幻片，末日废土，一人一狗，虽然情节和人物都比较刻板，但是在细节的打磨上还是非常到位，整体呈现出来的效果还是比较温馨动人
2022. 7.11，在这个近期吃瓜，瓜连着瓜，热点一个接一个的当下，结合目前的舆论环境来看这部影片就像是有人替我们喊出了一些声音，被愚弄驯化被操控的人们，睁开眼睛吧，撕开真实世界的一角给你看下，哪里有什么真相？有什么正义？有什么公平？片子结局其实是有点糊了，开场近一个小时的铺垫也稍长，背景音乐也有对点乱剧情，想说的东西也是太多太多，有点溢出，但法庭辩论还原事实部分还是起鸡皮疙瘩的~~~~~推荐一看~~~耐心是美德，尤其是看印度片~~
本来以为是个文艺片。
买凶杀人，杀人灭口，
只有一个主演的电影太适合汉克斯了，没有用力的表演，但不留痕迹的把观众带入情境。杰夫和狗狗，末路也变得晴朗可爱。杰夫照镜子的瞬间，我简直看到了他内心的惊讶悸动，还有杰夫不停运动的双手，及时表达出他的情绪，天，机器多好，比人更温暖，更让人愿意信任。虽然从起动杰夫的问话开始，就能猜到结局，可是，还会让人有兴致地看他们把故事好好构建起来，坦然接受这样的设定。好吧，不要太纠结杰夫的动力及他的材质为啥那么孔武有力。真希望是个连续剧，汉克斯、杰夫、狗狗，一直在。
好糟糕劣质的节奏…不是好电影，哪里体现了敢讲？ 就像是营销号的知识量，也就糊弄天朝电影爱好者，大清都亡了！还闭着眼。
第3630-故事是曲折的，直面问题是勇敢的，拍摄手法是商业的，改变是很难的。
印度都能拍出这种水平电影了，庭审部分相当精彩。
一口气杂糅一堆社会现实，强行反转，印度演员表演上都用力过度
4.警务系统、教育系统全方位的腐败 司法系统是唯一的救赎
这是拍给印度人看的吗？不止，这是拍给人看的
近期的印度影片都在大力的说种姓问题 这是我很欣赏的 我们知道我们的问题出在哪里 但是我们不会隐藏 也不会打压 我们有让全世界都审视评判的勇气 可能改变不是一朝一夕就可以完成的事情 但是能拍能上这便是态度 总好过一味地宣传本国的优点更令人佩服 因为我一直在说 也许印度她们落后 他们有种种问题 但是他们却同样有着希望 有暗就必有光 这个国家的光也正在冉冉升起 本片延续了印度一贯的方式 个人觉得反转也是可以的 整体节奏虽有些凌乱 但全程也并不无聊 一些语句也是令人感到力量感的 政府以情绪煽动 民众只在乎宣泄的两点立意还蛮好的 还有那句 你做了什么 上帝都会回报给你的点也很妙
