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'.

中国有句话说文体不分家，还是那句对于底层来文娱和体育是最好也是最可能的阶级越层的圈子了，前提是有足够的天赋和努力。美国拍这种片真有一套而且相当洗脑，很多人会被这种美国梦吸引以为自己是那个幸运者。
3.5星。這一集略遜於第一集,但還是不錯看,老兵其實心地很善良的,可惜最後死了,老兵依舊很勇猛,幹掉所有壞人
觉得不好看，第一部的那种新鲜的紧张刺激感在这一部基本完全变成赤裸裸的血腥暴力了，剧情也失去了悬念和惊喜，看得让人基本没什么劲头也没什么期待感。这一部老头也没有上一部更具压迫感，也更不像个瞎子了。从密室搏斗转移至开放空间真的大大减少了这种惊悚电影的魅力。
刚看完今年Super Bowl公羊夺冠，顺便看下Kurt Warner这个草根逆袭的励志电影。之前正好看过早安美国采访本人和主演，知道这部电影75%谈的是爱情亲情家庭和生活的挣扎，25%是球场上的比赛故事，想看橄榄球的直接去找比赛集锦就好了，这部电影更多是讲述这样一个从Supermarket走到Super Bowl的传奇四分卫故事。
当梦想照进现实，这是一个不可复制的故事。片子拍的四平八稳。
做为体育传记片，并不算优秀，节奏有些拖沓。多一颗星给的是真实的人物本身和他拼搏的精神。不放弃的拼搏精神是口好鸡汤，总是可以打动人的。结尾看到女主原来和真实人物还是挺像的，做到了努力还原。
前半段以盲为点的悬疑
剧情反转 节奏紧凑 镜头血腥 还有道德沦丧的情节设计 就这几点放哪个小众电影节都可以获奖了 最后略洗白了老头的人设 还有点反战思考“老兵梗”的意思 虽然这部在“屏住呼吸”这个点题的方面比上部差了些 瞎老头战斗力碉堡的表现也有些不可思议 但个人感觉也算是部营救类的爽片了 在这恐怖惊悚类片慌的最近 你还要啥自行车 那些打一二星的真不敢苟同
不算恐怖，血浆很足，没有第一部反转更惊奇，老头倒是洗白了，其实结尾让狗跟着女孩一块走了会更好，三星给系列收尾……但感觉好像还是要往下做，怕是要走低
典型美国梦的故事，这样的电影将影响很多人的一生
故事很简单，演员也不怎么知名，草根程度和励志效果都挺好的-7分
就冲大爷对狗狗的爱，心眼儿就坏不到哪去。亲情不只是血缘关系才算。我就不多剧透了，最后大爷的忏悔让电影升华到了一个新高度。愣是给我看哭了。
看到片名就知道结局已定 失败者触底反击的故事依旧鼓舞 （不太喜欢感情线的处理）
一盒传奇的诞生也有制造传奇的这些神奇人物。
和第一集調子不大一樣，不過也是出效果，這也是最強老爺系列了。
美国人最喜欢灰姑娘，也算是美式自信的一种自证方式。7
总之见仁见智吧
故事是很好的，但是人物传记，尤其是讲述多线的人物传记用来当励志片效果就没有那么理想。
这种电影看的就是屏住呼吸的爽和爆裂血腥，就不要在意什么合不合乎常情。两个房子的小格局比第一部拓宽了，却依旧紧凑的步步紧逼，最后小姑娘拿刀把她妈胳膊锯掉又把她爸捅死，看的真的鸡皮疙瘩都起来了。
这是他妈啥啊……这还要什么剧情啊，直接开场打打打打到结束不就完了嘛……我看到她妈装鬼唱歌现身都笑喷了……
