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'.

感觉就是主创团队在日本水土不服。叙事节奏不稳、演员互动违和、不欧不美不日，大女主没出来，小女主不讨喜。
冲温姐看的，怒火攻心版John Wick，设定有点儿意思，怎奈故事和动作戏都乏善可陈。。
还剩十几分钟都不想看了…网飞是拍这个题材上瘾了？
又俗又假，打戏难看，感情戏拖沓。应该叫《凯特终于死了》
女主角竟然掏钱给了路人男😂，在女权主义、甚至过激的女权主义盛行之时这种大女主通杀的电影也就突然多了市场。
全片老梗，了无生趣～星星都是给Winstead的
Kate在生與死交界、擱淺之地（一座到處充斥著虛擬符號投影、眼花撩亂的東京）最終找到念茲在茲，近乎絕跡的「爆爆檸檬」（真·仁義、家人），讓人無比動容。
想尝尝柠檬炸弹
下毒就用钋204，这很日本👏电影剧情很俗套节奏很紧凑，多一星给Mary
几年不见，人近中年，变化挺大滴
怒火攻心式杀死比尔，但都没有那两部拍得好，中规中矩的爆米花式动作片
产品向的俗套故事，人物配置上大姐配萝莉算有创新，包装日本元素，音乐，整体呈现都不赖，几段分镜nice. 这类项目快成流水线了，但还是挺好看的.
请美国人立刻放弃对John wick的致敬…
别的不说，你剧情这样安排合理合适合法吗？fxxk 杀手就该有杀手的觉悟Leon没看过吗
剧情上是杀死比尔，美术摄影是疾速追杀，合格的爽片
就像我一直说得，电影故事老套无所谓，认认真真的拍就行，就怕导演没事就往文艺上靠，这部片子不错。
包装爽片，拼接缝合，好俗的故事，人物也没特点，不是动作大点就能复制成功，盖不住的粗糙
虽然这预告片充满着网飞大数据算法脚本生成器的味道……但MEW主演要如何拒绝（被算法拿捏的死死地）//KATE这摆明了是在致敬梅津泰臣的KITE吧…虽然剧情本就不值一提，但后端泄气也是泄得有点多。网飞是真有钱吧…这剧好多街景感觉都是搭出来的…还是说日本有个小巷影视城…欧美大片过来排着队用？
大女主爽剧。戴着眼镜叼着烟去解救小女孩复仇的时候简直吊炸天。
随便看看，那小女孩挺可爱的咋连个条目都没有
