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'.

挺俗套的故事 但是整体来说还是看得好难过啊 主角小小年纪就遭遇了人情冷暖且与这个肮脏的社会奋力挣扎 结尾开推土机那段真是大快人心哈哈哈哈 女主演技挺牛 泡菜新人演员都好厉害啊👍
《Babadook》《It Follows》《Hereditary》……命硬老妹恐怖片品味了得；本片严格遵守赔命守则；爆头官宣第三幕；虽然没有火焰喷射器，但薪火相传是真的很大火；F$ck Elevated Horror！For Wes！真爱粉丝致敬作，有被感动到
一开始觉得女主角不是心中安妮这样狡黠活跃的性格，看到后面，女主角不一直自白认真投入人物本身时觉得演绎得又毫无问题。结尾真的幽默又美好
就，女主角是挺漂亮的，就是跟原著劝导没啥太大关系
感觉还行，整体还是不错的，感兴趣的可以去看看
反派就是话多。
看到最后的"For Wes"我才知道Wes Craven已经去世了。
对自身系列以及其他知名恐怖片的致敬/玩梗倒是一次不错的“续集”的尝试，比起生硬的“电锯惊魂9”更能让影迷们兴奋。可是好像本片也只能靠这些手段来续着时长了，一些剧情片段经不起细想，只能用“导演故意的”来解释过去（不过开橱柜门/冰箱门那段还是挺有趣的）。看完后感觉是《幸存的女孩》的龙凤胎，也算是这几年不错的续集类电影了。
开场就直接致敬第一部打电话桥段，一边送上熟悉怀旧元素一边又不断安插自我调侃。
到第五部编不出来了，整个恐怖片爱好者致敬经典杀人事件，甚至里面的人物都开始总结剧情套路还解说剧情，来来回回就这么点人物实在编不出花了，这个系列还不如重启
一边吐槽烂梗一边用烂梗，这盘冷饭炒只能给粉丝看着玩玩，根本就是吓不到人的三流恐怖片。不过好歹比隔壁《黑客帝国4》炒得好点，看得下去。
三星半。其实还挺好看的，全程无第四面墙。选角用心了，每一个年轻演员都有我喜欢的作品。惊声尖叫和惊声尖笑真得有区别吗？这部就好好笑啊。
我不理解爸爸这种赌马赌到倾家荡产的人设为什么可以洗得好像这一切都不是他的错一样。女主看似正义地怼天怼地，其实选择的方法既无能又无脑。推土机的意象到底是什么，奋起的勇气？求求了选择一条正确的路吧。
这样的剧里还要体现政治正确也是不理解了。但是风景，音乐和女主（虽然不符合原著）都很美，可以一看。
女主虽然很帅，打架也爽，但脑子实在捉急，气！
男主好丑🥲如果没有简奥斯汀的加持这就是一个再普通不过的玛丽苏言情
金惠允的演技绝了，推土机里最后那下眼神炸裂
3.5。girls victory，全面重启+全面致敬，正是因为漏洞百出才成就出《惊声尖叫》和《惊声尖笑》系列。
我以为女主不会蠢到手机录音没有备份就去找社长对峙，但我错了，女主忽高忽低的智商真的让我着急，还有韩国警察也是sb脑袋有坑，非要开枪打女主才可以吗，直接爬上推土机给女主抓下来不就得了，那么大块头对付一个十几岁小姑娘还需要用枪
最喜欢的是那个坏银没有受到应有的惩罚。。。因为这才是现实，这电影如果是我们翻拍，怕是为了过审就要换一种结局了。。。虽然我们向往美好，但这个世界就是弱肉强食，从来不存在什么美好
