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'.

几个主演，松山研一从头到尾一个表情，藤原龙也比他好点，神木也还行吧。黑木华最好。。。
我觉得这部也很好啊，虽然故事很简单，但人性很深刻。
冲着球花来的，连姆叔果然适合演这种垂垂老矣濒死的角色，节奏有点慢，整体还行。
淦，竟然是没有任何信息量的总集篇。就当为了第2季再复习一下吧
真的看不下去，比《银翼杀手:黑莲花》差多了。
从我十几岁开始，看《攻壳机动队》，除了女主角的身材，就没搞通透它在讲什么。这次也是，有头没尾。
看预告完全没想到是这样的走向，前半段的集体意识+造神+各方利益争锋展开有种诡异又凉飕飕的黑色幽默，最后反转如果我没有提前在评论被剧透应该还是会有些震惊（虽然是挺狗血）古典乐+村头喇叭+第x日流逝的字幕梦回大逃杀…剧情3.5，饼哥松ken时隔15年再次w主情怀+0.5
确实没看下去。大叔要不憋个大招也行，要不退了也挺好，在记忆留下都是美好更好。
看到前半段的发展包括一些台词我都以为暗示后面要朝着那个方向发展，结果第三幕我满头问号？？？
原作漫画也是开篇优秀，可惜中途被腰斩，草草结尾，但是蕴含的优秀电影属性被找到并影视化。从本片的超豪华阵容就可以看出来制片公司还是想放开手脚大干一笔的，但是凡事都有连锁反应。导演的镜头语言非常老辣，用笔很珍惜是优点，但是对于剧本的把控能力还是存在问题，最后的反转非常莫名其妙。在请来了核心两个大咖后，又发现不能向原剧本那样拓展然后戛然而止，只得生硬的用最简单的影视剧逻辑来加一层反转，这样可以让松山研一不那么配角，毕竟花了这么多钱请来的。而这样的创作使得人物很不成功。而原漫画中的妻子也是有不少的出镜的，在电影里被弱化，结尾又拿出来，是比较失败的视角转变。总之在制片层面上如果更好的把控剧本，选出适合的演员而非纯粹搭配豪华阵容，最终的收入产出比可能更为合适一些。
镇长和老爷子那块太过戏剧了，另外饼哥看守所里的哭戏真可以
感觉看到了多个电影的影子，但是总体来说还好，不是很无聊，结尾也很精彩
给男主的多一分，给剧中几个警察的努力多一分，给结局的爽快多一分！！
从现今的眼光来看，作为动作片，单论情节并不紧张刺激精彩。故事总体叙述没毛病，没啥大的糟点，能自圆自洽，但也仅此而已。尼森暮年杀手的形象演得很到位，就是从坏人到赎罪的内心斗争历程描绘得尚有欠缺，但凭一个“不杀孩子”的原则就转变立场缺乏情感深度。
悬念感营造的极为一般，整个节奏完全不起来，尤其是里面填充的情感元素，更是显得极为多余。噪声从来就是一个贬义词，一味的盲目排外本身也会陷入固步自封的怪圈，这时候的立场也就自然会显得站不住脚了。真正的爱应该是拥有，而不是拼命想去占有或是过度维护，那反而可能会永久的失去。表面的平静掩盖不住真正的暗流涌动，一切谜底终将会重见天日的。
老的连姆尼森还是那么能打，还是那么彪悍，就是记忆不太好了
该片改编自2003年丹麦影片《冷面赤心》。
WTF is this crap.
连叔那么老了，能不能放过他，不要让他再打了。
