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'.

没有上部长津湖来的感动，我觉得应该还是导演徐克的问题，浪漫主义加上不太切合实际的枪战场面，让我觉得有点出戏。
另外在这样一个所谓关注印度弱势群体妓女的电影里还不忘歧视印度东北人，真是讽刺啊。
更何况我们现在有核武器 我们什么都有了
很感人，那么多最可爱的人牺牲，打不死的吴京最后牺牲太英勇。另外，朝鲜军队不策应吗？孤军奋战可还行。
七连实到一人时破防了，历史意义打过战略意义的一场战役，这盛世因为所有的先烈，一代人有一代人的使命！
年下恋既视感有小小磕到 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
我喜欢这张海报，但不喜欢这个故事。
女主让我想到张柏芝。对比国内的90后女演员，演得都是些低智角色。
场景审美在线，服化道也在线。
改编自印度记者号称纪实的小说《孟买黑手党女王》中的一章，原型在上世纪孟买靠做老鸨大量敛财，人称宾利夫人。
看到有人说质疑为什么MY合法化才能保护这些女性
虽然电影有很多瑕疵，但是看见女主特写镜头的眼神就会哭！那种悲伤从眼神透露出来！她本来就是天鹅，即使身处泥泞中！
牺牲了亲情。
真实的故事 捍卫性工作者的权利 印度片最近好多这种抨击现实的 但是感觉还是淡化了黑暗面 更多是强调大女主爽剧
妓院以前的老板娘死了以后，她成老板娘了，还是一大堆妓女求着她当的，这不上赶着求人剥削你么？
他们代表军人的荣耀，用血肉祭奠自己的尊严。
确实看到了志愿军的很多
女主作为一个被拐卖进妓院的人，还能帮其他老鸨去劝一个同样被拐卖进妓院的14岁女孩接客。
一部有“女权主义”色彩的电影，女主的“打怪升级”前半场靠男的黑帮老大，后半场靠报社男记，逻辑有点乱。
节奏爽快鲜明，虽然难免被诟病女主角的意识觉醒来得太快，但是也挺喜欢电影的处理的，并不是一味的依附男权，从最开始为了自己去找拉辛这种勇气，到看到嫖客被打后对权力的渴望意识觉醒，前半段很爽文，但是后半段回归深刻的主题中，电影更多想表达的，并不是卖淫合法化的论题，而是身为女性，可以真正的选择，自己想做的，就像甘古拜获选的时候说的，女性也可以是权力和名誉，财富的化身。
