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'.

网飞又一小成本小国烂片，全员脑子有问题。一个大家庭全家相继死亡但是就不信女主，最后妹妹还跟杀手忘年恋。杀手就是个偏执狂作家却有通天彻地的本领。女主始终相信是杀手杀了她全家但什么措施都没采取甚至最后跟杀手对峙还自己跳楼了。完全没逻辑。
#TIFF 2021# SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS。前入围2021威尼斯主竞赛。可能是被场刊倒数第一打了预防针，自己看完反而觉得没那么雷……跟欧容的《时光驻留》来比，离奇（而不是奇情）和豪门可能算是最大的槽点吧。米歇尔·弗朗哥操纵观众真是有一手，控制信息也挺好，但是你故事得编圆不是……编不圆或者故意不写那不叫开放性叙事……
黒島結菜ちゃんかわいいんだけどやっぱりちょっと足りなかった
就，很好理解的在刚毕业正年轻而且对也来充满梦想的时期遇到了喜欢的人和志同道合的朋友，可惜青春是会消失的，通向梦想的道路也可能随时会中断…不是不忘初心就能实现的

3星半，很喜欢的度假题材电影，放松自由的度假却伴随着隐藏的沉痛秘密，以及面临着死亡的危机，意外与命运共同袭来，无人知晓，无所依存（自认为改成渣男的情节会更有意思一点 【立青映画字幕组翻译】
小成本警匪片，精简版血溅十三号警署。正派杀手转变说服力不足。摄影冷峻工业风赞，色调构图不错，装逼算适度，枪战尚到位。年度爽片无稽，甚至爽片都谈不上，但在可观堪赏范围内。
縱使喜歡這片的影像以及調度，那故意欺騙的劇情一開始還算有趣，第二次就有點無言了。
绝了，克制的镜头里暗流涌动，twist来得出其不意。
就不工整。天秤座表示难受。
一开始导向纯粹的视听情境，核心事件对主角失去了吸引力，大量“不知从何结束，又不知从何开始”的非理性剪辑，又以一种非常human的虚无主义观点去打破感觉-运动的关联。之后电影则变得精神分析起来，它先是来到了《新秩序》的反面，不是实在界之力冲破了符号现实的壁垒，而是符号秩序对主体的永恒支配：尽管选择放弃家人、金钱和身份，主角还是命运般地被指派到符号网络的一个点位，接受来自大他者的惩罚。而最后的反转又将电影推向了所谓崇高化的问题：这份超然并非凭空得来，是生理性死亡的预兆给予了他面对符号性死亡的勇气。在两次死亡的中间地带，或站在那只被解刨的猪的位置，Neil以异世的姿态迎接自己的命运
还行，用癌症和猪来比喻已经病入膏肓的白左英国犬儒，他们面对乱局无能为力，只会选择逃避，西方世界就是这样逐渐堕落了，第三世界的人民并不具备普世价值观，相反他们会输出自己的野蛮意识形态，所以片名会使用日落这个标题，这是对西方世界的一次巨大冲击，但我觉得日落的讽刺性不如新秩序，新秩序具有预言性质，但日落还只是陈述现有的发展状况
如果剧情和结局让你愤怒，不更证明这片子有一个好导演和编剧吗？ 所以你们打一分是为了泄愤？所以我说中国人真的不配看电影。
蒂姆罗斯塑造的这个人物很好。本来觉得最后患癌真是多余，但又想世事本来就是这样，虚无就是虚无，患癌不患癌又怎么样。觉得患癌多余是不是也是我对所谓人生的编排太过傲慢，觉得有没有也就无所谓了。
厄运还是阴谋，仁者见仁，智者见智。恐怖的不是妖魔鬼怪，而是人心的阴暗，为女主鸣不平，细思极恐的结局值两星
创意类似于《血溅13号警署》，一群badass级别的人齐聚在一个小小的警察局，悬念营造得还不错，不过主角间的互动没有预想的有意思，结尾也是相当潦草。
血溅十三号警署感，尼哥女有点碍眼，演得太差，格里罗和巴特勒双雄对峙时间太短
跟想象中差距很大，一开始以为是中年男人危机所以出轨Yolo，结果是确诊了癌症。但他的面对机制是找一个墨西哥年轻女人玩儿？我真的不太能理解。
