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'.

不是精神病也不是做梦或者臆想什么的，这回改酒鬼讲故事了，拍的还算比较工整吧
这是向黑泽明致敬呢，灵感来自《梦》的太阳雨？最后还挺有表达
整体电影质感居然非常不错，人善人欺天不欺……
狐狸版聊斋志异，在审查下面扭秧歌。可以，合格。
故事讲的比很多院线电影好的多的多，完全不恐怖，没有鬼，特效也还行吧。就是名字取的不讨喜，耽误了。
和《欲望号快车》一脉相承，理解不来的扭曲的性和暴力，一样觉得肉疼和不安。
最后的结尾应该是为了过审吧
有一说一这情节虽然烂，演员演技不是吊打那些流量吗。
文艺话语一段接着一段，看得一愣一愣的，奇观嗷，身体奇观，就是切得太痛了，而且还恶心
国产版罗生门，没有流量，演员演技一般，但胜在靠剧本把故事逻辑圆上了。
不同人眼中有不同的故事，多种视角才让这个故事圆满。
不是精神病也不是做梦或者臆想什么的，这回改酒鬼讲故事了，拍的还算比较工整吧
关于人类身体进化的科幻片印象中比较少，这部电影比较有意思，提出来人可以进化到消化工业垃圾，而且对人的性、犯罪有新定义，是一部合格的科幻片。希望这类电影越来越多，不要一天上来就无视物理定律瞎搞。
最后的结尾应该是为了过审吧
前段狐妖故事一般般，后段真实故事看得我发麻。果然人比妖可怕
虽然是小成本小演员小场景，但是网剧中比较精良的了，前后也经得起逻辑推敲。然后还想扣一分给主题的诠释，方向选得很好，人性嘛，但是感觉不够深入，有点浮光掠影的感觉，村民的恶与冷漠，不够深入，不够让人恨得牙痒痒。如果时间再长点，或者这个片子的完成度会更高，总之，给7分。
罗生门式的叙事方式不错 比起某些院线的影片都好
虽说建国之后不许成精，这剧本写的也是很不错的
国产网大里算是不错的，但如果暗示是幻想的话就不配了
3+1.电影最后从小女孩的特写转到“美好结局”这一段，个人感觉很巧妙。
