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'.

印度这种种姓制度不废除 他们永远无法成为一个强大的国家
作为一部类型片，有些地方的处理实在太目的话了，几乎是一点美感都没有，好直白。但作为电影，镜头内的美术设计、镜头语言都是看着很舒服的。而接近三个小时的电影，节奏也一直在线，张弛有度。歌舞环节，音乐还是最好的背景，取代舞蹈的是镜头内的自然风光和人物状态，电影的连贯性在这一点上做得很普世化。
唯一的缺点可能就是时间比较长吧，当然这是印度电影物色。看得我老婆都哭了，佩服印度演员
“我常以为是众生普渡了佛祖”“杰伊比姆是成千上万人的泪珠”
当一名部落男子因涉嫌盗窃而被捕时，他的妻子求助于一名人权律师以帮助伸张正义。
爆料自己的黑历史并没什么大不了，就比如现在的我们也不会嘲笑茹毛饮血的先祖。遮遮掩掩才是毛病，恰恰说明自己还沉沦在不自信的泥潭。
三星半。题材先行。男主的塑造深得天朝主旋律精髓，过于伟光正，几乎没有任何缺陷，人挡杀人佛挡杀佛，所有问题都很快解决。反倒是低种姓部落的塑造非常真实动人，暴力的呈现非常直接与震撼。
一开始就猜到了死在警局，钦佩律师所做的所有努力，找出来了真相
片子还行，主要是题材优势，这种肯为底层人民发声的律师都很值得敬佩

英雄式人物拯救穷苦众生..(竟然一句话概括完了。。这种理想式न्याय的实现自然要褒奖，but哪能港呢，似乎too easy..当然片中也不是很easy毕竟男主亲自下乡实地调查了...只不过在洼地当下比如आठ孩女这种全国रहना &Rap-ist代言领सरकार补助的照耀下，本片的正义到来像是一种非现实的存在。所以洼地的人性消亡已经超越印度了yeah..另，这片泰米尔语拍的吧，还DISS了一下印地语～

人物塑造和台词上都太满了，显得浅白，叙事节奏和角度还不错，一环扣一环，但是突然爆出的BGM还是让人不适应

这部片子和孟买酒店深刻让我认识到了印度警察。种姓、母性、人性。
