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'.

剧情有点平庸，现实不够无力，最后的反击又不够让人兴奋
韩国电影确实敢拍，但是要靠外国人出事才重视，还是澳大利亚政府认定危害。。哎！
事实改编，却不及事实震撼，绝望感没有推向极致。
踢皮球这种超现实的场景有的国家一辈子也不敢真的拍出来吧🫣
这么好的题材，怎么就被拍得那么普普通通...
居然是根据真实事件改编的，韩国电影总能拍出一些惊醒世人的作品。看完细思极恐，连发达国家韩国都有这种企业，更别说中国的企业了，我们所有用的吃的都防不胜防，明明可以活到100岁的我们可不想因为那些有毒产品英年早逝啊。
警世制作：看了会悲，会愤！更会致敬对良知的坚守！
韩国的真实事件 受苦的是韩国人民 财团依旧可以脱身推诿。
故事再看一遍感触更深 电影化之后并没有那么糟糕 sincerely me的呈现方式也蛮惊喜的 配角也更加丰满了
保护他们的也不是法官和律师，而是站出来宁愿付出一定代价也要反抗体制的局内人，面对强权依旧敢于发出正义的回响。 但如果不是同病相怜，又怎会有内部人员站出来主持公道呢。在最后问责会的互相推诿拒不担责是现实下官场生态的缩影，他们眼中只有自己的乌纱，至于怎样及时止损，怎样以除后患，才不是他们在乎的，越是拥有就越不会放手，而真正一无所有的时候，才会拥有和世界为敌的那股勇气。
七分应该有的，真实事件改编题材好，剧本和演员差点。结局挺震撼的，揭露黑心企业的同时也讽刺了政府人员的黑心交易。直面现实的勇气是韩国电影的可贵之处。
平平无奇，陈旧老套。与其说是电影，很像一集毫无悬念的电视剧。
叙事平淡 但还是有被最后感动到 互相推诿那段看得火大 没有人愿意站出来为无辜逝去的生命道歉 为了追逐利润连本心都要丢掉吗？类似案件倒是想起了三鹿奶粉事件 羡慕他韩啥也能拍的创作环境 我们需要被看见 现实意义始终大于一切
如果对欺骗Conner一家（fake的幸福）和抑郁症（明知这些都是fake）之间矛盾心理着墨更多的话可能整个深度会不一样
6.5分/ B-。虽然是一贯的套路，但根据真实事件，然后又拍出来，这点就很值得点赞。
首先题材绝对值得给赞，韩国电影一直在反思历史和社会事件，这点必须钦佩。但艺术价值就一般般了，镜头运动、构图等韩剧感十足，光打的也很平，电影感很弱。某些角色塑造的很表面，失去妻儿必成酒鬼，听到新闻必摔酒瓶之类的桥段很俗套… 最出彩的应该是那个意想不到的反转，但如果导演是为了让反转更出其不意，刻意把前面做的俗套，那我想说他成功了。
故事取材于韩国真实的加湿器杀菌剂杀人事件，剧情安排与人物刻画没有脱离韩国传统电影的风格和基准水平，当然也没有看到有更多的超越之处。不过，肩负社会使命感和正义感，通过揭示和同情底层普通百姓和小人物的遭遇去抨击社会政治问题并与强权抗争，是韩国电影人最值得敬重的地方，也是此类影片同样受到中国观众关注的重要原因所在吧！
有点老套 甚至有点无聊 但是这个事件我记得影响真的很大 我妈立马把家里的加湿器扔了😂
好像是真实事件改编的，之前看过类似的新闻。
因為對真實事件有了解，所以更加覺得難看，滿目皆是順理成章，情節均是工業套路，尤其幾場法庭戲、會議戲都非常差，和韓國同類型影片比毫無新意，就一味地在用力、用力、用力，完全只有情緒的煽動和宣洩，迫切地想要激起觀眾的憤怒和淚點，而事實上，由始至終都沒有真正試圖走進受害者內心，只是在消費傷痛而已。
