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'.

看完之后，没啥可记忆的。只能给5.1分。
几个配角有点脸盲…配乐还比较有趣…就是有点乱
#灰 确实是5-6的水平 即使像我这样的非常期待且很喜欢第一部的毒液“迷妹” 都没办法很专注地把这一部看下去 没有什么新意和笑点 反派也老套到不行 唯一的有趣的点是 —— 这是唯一一个系列 一直是男主+前女友+前女友现男友组合出道的…
知道烂，不知道是这么烂，前半部分各种廉价段子，按头让你笑那种，有时候知道是个包袱但影院里一片静默，真是尴尬。后半部分毫无逻辑的混乱打斗，然后莫名其妙打赢完事儿。无聊到不行，连彩蛋都没等就走了，这个IP基本没戏了，想不出来还能怎么救回来。
这电影咋拍的，感觉是mv里穿插了汽车广告，男主角也很难以描述。但是Talia好美，美到仿佛她随便看我一眼，我就要坠入爱河。
论黑人哥们儿如何装B拿样儿，大特写+大礼帽🎩+大雪茄🚬ps：配乐是真的好🎵
当某种恶趣味丧失新奇感之后，重复就会变成无厘头式的尴尬。
特别喜欢电影的配乐，也特别喜欢这些演员，但其它真的非常一般
why？！为什么可以这么拉垮？好莱坞 as a whole 是欠了毕志飞裸贷吗？！
除了几次打架和片尾彩蛋，其他真是没眼看，什么乱七八糟的
好有腔调啊！这种片子是一定要存在的，真实的历史往昔一定要被诉说。
挺好，美国西部片也迎来了全黑人时代。既然讲的是复仇，那么动作戏和枪战戏设计就应该跟上，婆婆妈妈的剧情少一些，干干脆脆的打斗多一些，甚至可以残忍点、血腥点，可惜这部电影在这些方面的表现都仅仅及格。前面啰嗦也就罢了，最后的大战也只是半场好戏。小喽啰对射结束之后，马上就应该展现两大BOSS的终极一战了。结果电影里的反派BOSS对男主说，你是我弟弟啊，然后就放弃对抗了。男主一边不相信一边哭，然后就把反派BOSS打死了。这剧情，开玩笑呢？另外，到最后也不知道两派的快枪手到底谁更快，因为其中一个废话太多把自己玩死了。
Ahhhhh, coulda shoulda woulda been so much better.
这部电影给我的第一感觉，这是由一群民族主义者拍摄的意淫片。虽然我对美国西部的拓荒史不了解，但我也不能想象出驰骋在西部的匪徒、游侠和执法者都是黑人，基本属于胡扯。可以想象这电影在美丽国的市场好不到哪儿去。电影本身梗很多，但摄影还不错。
两星半吧~
导演或编剧绝对是港片迷。几首曲子也配得特别好。
这电影里的牛仔小镇为啥房子这么崭新？为啥黑人小哥都这么普确信？大概乱世中活着都要靠股自命不凡的精神气儿吊着吧。
太过儿戏，意料之中的集结式彩蛋也没啥好欢呼的吧！
这样子说好了，你就是打着游戏跟别人聊着天，偶尔看一眼，你都不会错过啥。等你回过神再回头看一下，噢，没啥呀。。。嗯，就是这样子的。
哎，这扯不扯。看过之后就好像喝了一场宿醉。迷迷糊糊的，这感受倒还挺汤姆·哈迪！
