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'.

一个小杀手不用蒙汗药然后一刀剁了，整什么放射元素又不会马上四，摆明了让人家复仇呗，关键打戏不好看
2分吧一分加给从小看到大的女主… 动作戏及格了可是剧本谁写的 …
姐姐好飒！！！电影属于比较普通的杀手动作片，干完这票就退出，flag立的飞起。
全程半死不活，打半天不如老头那三刀干脆拉轰
东京街头，粉色跑车，Blooming。钋-204 结尾，最后一眼的招财猫 さくら きれいです。れをる 金字塔
看看动作挺爽！看样子应该有续集！坚持下去，下次换个地儿，日本黑帮真是拍的够够的了！特别是今年上映的某部电影！
故事还是那样的故事：我要退休，头儿不干，然后就是背叛，然后的然后我为了复仇和全世界干。。。
这部的动作戏打得十分过瘾，不像《火药奶昔》不能尽兴
这电影就是绿豆冰棒，刚拿出来很硬，一会就软。
亦正亦邪，过眼瘾很不错。何种动作戏，搏斗，枪战。女杀手被投毒，剩一天命，以同归于尽的觉悟复仇，也够血腥刺激。p.s. 火了一把“柠檬炸弹”，哪里能买到……
两处配乐很嗨，看个打斗，国村隼大战浅野忠信。剧情流水线，标准结局。小妹妹长得不讨喜，看着有点烦人。
完全没有超出预期，从头打到尾，但就是没有看《致命黑兰》《安娜》《疯狂的麦克斯4》《极寒之城》《特工绍特》《龙纹身的女孩》时过瘾，可能是导演选角的问题吧，女主说不上好看也就是一般人吧，特别是身材。再加上女二号的牙套实在让人倒胃口！
套路，政治正确，这个女杀手不太冷，爆爆柠檬广告宣传片。
伊丽莎白年纪大了，但战损版是真的好看。大卫雷奇的制片，日本本土赛博，john wick降级版，主要是打击感太次；美术还行，事实证明赛博还是得下雨放烟。不过本片虽然苦情，却走了反差萌路线，喜剧点够了；情感逻辑有个弑父-认识自我的闭环，但做的很粗糙。完成度一般，勉强给个及格，毕竟好多风格化设计也做了，只是因为动作和文戏差，所以无法好好地结合
这种片面临的困境就是，要是不够爽不够爆，真就一文不值。。还有开头那追车戏全程是粗糙到爆的绿幕是怎么回事？
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。。
女主是挺酷的，但被自己人暗算再复仇的戏码真的看腻了。ps：霓虹跑车不错
除了日式古屋那段溅血挺不错，其他都感觉浪费时间，而且那段还特别有杀死比尔的影子，小女孩挺抢眼，但说多了那些英语脏话也就无趣了好多，电影也是如此，剧情不用想也知道是这样。
類似的女殺手轉業的題材，銀河映像的《攝氏37.2》比這個好看多了。
一个人如果还有一天可以活，她要干什么，当然是猛女复仇了。
