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'.

太有意思了😅😅狂笑不止，蛮解压的伪纪录片，感觉疫情以来这种发疯的片子格外多了
抛开女主的言论不谈，作为恐怖片是合格的，这种伪纪录片式的就是很有代入感氛围营造不错而且很喜欢女主这种战斗力强的，but现实中还是远离这种sb吧。。
2.画面差，后半段女主一直奔命，如果稍不留神就有可能看不懂场景到哪了，镜头乱又糊，几乎什么也看不清；
1387【谷阿莫】這神秘石箱住著一隻擁有人臉和四隻手的怪物，下體甚至還有一口噁心大嘴…
此片意义在于让人意识到，圣诞Vibe已开始，单身赶紧搞CP。国外网大水平
婊姐战斗力真强！可看吧，疫情之下的片子有点儿意思！
？神经病 就这啊 毫无新意浪费时间全片无高能
竟然只有77分钟吗，大姐一直在吐槽，职业精神可以，战斗力爆表。
这节奏实在不敢恭维，有点太拖沓了，剧情设置的有点问题。我觉得怪比故事更吸引人。
死亡记录后最好的伪记录恐怖电影！让人目接不暇，除了主屏幕的画面，左下角的弹幕区彩蛋众多！看到后面我一秒都不想这部电影结束！！！最欢乐！最好玩！最有趣的观影体验！别人都有final girl，这部有final bitch！
我还等着看女主惨死呢，结果反杀了，这是我看过最烂的结局，如果你在恐怖片里设计一个特别气人的主角最后还没杀掉她解气，那你设计干嘛
无礼当个性，粗俗视为酷，女主这么婊竟然都没被有灵异能力的丧尸杀死。
结尾dirty rap freestyle了8分钟电影演职员名单
属于是我理解不了在拍什么，那个怪物完全可以没有，就负责搞点故弄玄虚，最后出来的那个形象也不吓人，打败的过程也很简单，看得挺无语的。还不如就拍移民女性困境，被骗无依无靠，碰上男性连环杀手，没钱比见鬼还惨。以及因为怪物和仪式这些交代不够清楚，女主后面突然倒戈向怪物也挺没说服力，就感觉为了强行有个经典结局。
一集美剧拍成了一部电影，典型的铺垫一小时只有结尾高潮，烂片不应该搞开放式结局不如明确一些。女黑人的戏份简直就是多余，用来凑时长的，反而使电影显得很拖沓，毕竟电影结束了她都没有再次出现。女主角最后的复仇很爽，尤其是献祭了雷德，但是，这个恶魔/怪物都现身了，怎么这么废物，居然被女主角吓得缩回去了，它只敢对抗毫无抵抗力的奴隶啊，好吧，他只敢对付无法战胜心理恐惧的人，整体太拖了，90分钟都不到的电影，居然铺垫了那么久，以及恐怖程度一般，还有，这片有悬疑吗？？？这盒子都是明示了
其实我没看懂，这到底想表达是什么，多给一颗星是因为这个怪物设计的不错，这导演一开始就把蝴蝶，箱子这些东西不停地铺垫，我还以为是想搞一波大的，结果雷声大雨点小，虽然创造氛围的能力还不错，但是最后给我的感觉就好像哑巴吃黄连，有苦说不出，我都快看自闭了...
除了那个长得不知道像啥的怪物还有点特色之外其他的部分毫无看点。
3.5，用Chaotic来形容实在太准确，好久没看到这么开心的疯片了（某些人真的能不能别传一堆机翻截图到豆瓣引流了）
108/ 不懂就问 - 怪物为什么一定要蹲着马步用菊花吃饭啊 这样比较好消化吗？
男人围猎女人去献祭蜘蛛型母神，挣脱的女人反杀男人。涉及打爆人头的暴力镜头都绕不开《不可撤销》，回望深渊，切断人头的怪物，更应该用缓慢吞食增强恐怖感。
