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'.

这人性刻画的还行，就是为啥不敲一点下来先走
2022013画面质感一分剧本加结尾一分，其他的都没有什么可说的了，末世放逐风格版的活埋
克里斯派恩貌似兔唇的样子给人的印象倒是深刻，但剧情就是这样。
的确很像等待戈多！中间一个小时真的太绝望了
如果是我，我就趁司机不注意敲下一块黄金然后找机会要求去寻找挖掘机。沙漠太危险了，守着金子又有什么用呢？被野兽吃掉太惨了
啊怎么瓣评分及格都没有？6.5应该有的吧。低配版碟影重重的感觉。男主whump 场景蛮诱人的（。虽然男主队长角色像个大傻子，退役军人被蒙骗被用完即弃的表达也挺老套，但总体上这种冷峻氛围打造得还是不错的。
疫情期间大家对电影要求也不要太高了，无聊也是无聊着，虽然老套，看着也过的去吧。
There Will Be Blood + The Revenant
整部片感觉想表达的内容太多了，又想展现动作戏码又想探讨退伍军人的议题，结果哪头都没照顾好，整个一四不像。不过动作戏确实挺好的。
另外，即使司机不等男主自己挂掉，也完全可以买武器回来一击必杀。最终分的多少，靠的不是付出，而是自己的筹码。
【C+】荒原废土的质感营造得不错，摄影和表演都可圈可点，但是剧情推进十分乏力，人物间的互动也不够精彩。
好像年纪大了的偶像明星，都得演一部特别苦的影片
派恩 和小强老了好多 以为本福斯特 又跟机械师一样成了25仔 错怪他了
我们都会遇到生活的困境，或者有时候选择就是一个无知的未来！
3个演员的小成本电影，制作还算得上用心，但这剧本经不起考验和琢磨，让人一眼看出结局，中规中矩
没有太不堪。低配版谍影重重和生死狙击串烧。
莫名其妙发现金子，莫名其妙杀了人，莫名其妙被被人杀了，一切都那么莫名其妙
风景粗犷，不少镜头较好。荒漠发现搬不动的金子，正常人难道不是每人先敲下几公斤揣走，先发笔小财，再一起去找挖机么？
7分，在那种一望无际的沙漠里，夜晚的黑暗前所未有地浓重，对未知的恐惧被放大到极点，这时距离你50米内的任何动静都令人紧绷精神，这对于小成本的取巧设计很重要，比起花钱盖一栋闹鬼大宅来得有创意，可惜角色设定太扁平了，也没什么值得深挖的内涵，纯碎是沙漠里的丛林法则，那对姐妹的设定有点牵强，一个久经沙场的狩猎者，被一记闷棍拍死。
本片的剧情真应了那句老话，典型要钱不要命的节奏，男主发现了一大块金子，却傻傻让同行那个居心叵测的黑心老板去找挖掘机来挖金子平分财富，这人不是缺心眼就是财迷了心窍，果然在经历了恶劣的自然环境和本地人的折磨后，还杀人灭口却最终死于非命，当然导演为了公平正义，让那个黑心老板也被土著干掉。人性的贪婪与险恶在本片中肉眼可见，抱着财富死去能有什么意义，有命挣没命花的选择还不简单吗?整个片子的化妆与场景布置不错，很好营造出了一个沧桑荒凉的末世废土环境，让男主的死更是披上了一层无奈可悲的色彩。男主出演很是拼啊，不但从头到尾装容脏兮兮，后半段受伤后的惨不忍睹更是可以媲美小李子的荒野猎人，不过本片的剧情相对简单，人性的剖析也是显而易见，90分钟这个片长还比较合理。
