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'.

作为改编可能还算不错了，整体还是不推荐给演员粉丝以外的人的类型。
历史剧，解放曼德拉的之战，虽是恐袭演变的银行劫案，人性和种族自由的抗争以悲剧结束。穿插一场告密游戏。
黑人反抗力量在策划暴力活动中被发现，情急之下逃进银行，并劫持了一群人质，后面就落入了俗套。虽想融入种族冲突的大背景，但不太成功。
很好看也走心的类型片，完成度蛮高的，视听上一点不马虎，虽然剧本明显有一个套路，但拍的确实牵动人心，主要是节奏掌控很不错。这个剧本底子总想起《热天午后》，最后结尾想起《虎豹小霸王》。
苦大仇深黑哥们的故事快看吐了 再结合南非如今发展的“成果”……
第一人称和激励角度：你能为自由付出什么？答案是一切。这是个悲壮的故事，背后为了获得自由而牺牲的人们浓缩进了这部片子，它只是世界诸多为了自由而奋斗的人民的缩影之一；
很清新、温柔的作品。虽然不是bl的世界，但也是美好的，或者说呈现的方式是美好的。
很燃！编剧和导演带有明显的偏向，把三位MK战士塑造的弱势又强大，暴力又正义！但这是根据真实事件改编的，一分真实四分改编，为自由而战没错，但就真实事件而言，三位主角远没有电影塑造的完美～但凡挟持人质相关的电影，多多少少都会展示斯德哥尔摩症候群，本片也不例外～自由，对普通人，从古至今，都是最贵的！
给司法部女儿的戏多一点就好了，有些东西撑起“她没那么傻白甜”比让她简单念两句词或许会更有力。随着数人质剧情推进得倒也不拖沓，只是几个人质要是能发生交互感觉会更有意思。
在最恶劣的环境中，心存善良，为信仰而战，历史会告诉世人，所追求信仰的对错。
非常舒服的视角和节奏，看到最后还很感动。山田杏奈以后专门演LGBT题材的电影吧，太适合了！
总是被感动😭
那么问题来了，为什么豆瓣演员条目里没有黑人演员和导演？
南非，南非，近来关于南非的就是他们的女孩居然还有因为饥饿而升天的，和想想中的南非女孩大不相同，当然近朱者赤，并不是很难理解。白人的南非看起来不错，有黑人警探假装送面包的女人，有黑人直升机飞行员，黑人卧底，黑人狙击者，他们手段多多，比这三个躲进银行的恐1怖1分1子更加正义，然而，那些围观的人群是怎么回事儿，那些围栏外的记者们是什么意思，面对敌人，这些白人还假惺惺的不敢这样，不敢那样，结果就是把恶魔放出潘多拉的盒子，导致白人全面失败，现在只能如同当年的黑人一样无奈，国家还是那个国家，黑与白颠倒了一下，等曼德拉的精锐在五千年灿烂文化熏陶下回到南非，白人的好日子绝对还在后面。
自由不是免费的。
西方主旋律电影，整个电影非常脸谱化，一看长相就知道性格的那种，但是矮子里拔将军，跟其他主旋律电影比起来，已经很不错了
苟且偷生易，振臂一呼難。今年目前為止最為超出觀影預期的小成本佳作，南非種族隔離議題，這份絕對低了。前半段鋪墊過長節奏問題挺大的，後四十分鐘逐漸才算精彩起來，直到最後一幕推向高潮而後戛然而止。沒有過多的渲染隔離制度下黑人處境多麼的淒慘，主要靠細節和演員狀態來向觀眾側面傳達議題，處理得非常的細膩克制。且曼德拉全片作為麥高芬存在，並未正式出場，甚至連照片都沒出現我是挺意外的。
哪里有压迫，哪里就有反抗。毛主席说过，星星之火可以燎原。
代价几何？布尔人的是少数说了算，相当于精英TZ，曼德拉的是多数人说了算，相当于MZTZ，但以结果论，现如今南非情况.......以过程论，自由的代价是什么，一切。不一定恰当，可类比某特色...很有想象空间。
神尾枫珠还是跟女孩子更有cp感啊，虽然bl尺度还挺大的
