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'.

如果结局走向不这写 还能加一星 拍成“无处可逃”那样不香吗？？？非要画蛇添足一出
没看完。从女警这么远开枪开始有点看不下去，结果她第二次又远距离开枪，真看不下去了，开局也太冗长，
就很欧洲啊，国家只有在欧洲才有这么奇葩的电影和故事。
记得毒枭片头写得那 "魔幻现实" 吗？这部片就是它的经典诠释，更甚者，它的16:9+复古风格画面处理，更现实，也更魔幻了
还可以吧，不带任何期待全程能跟住，个体命运被卷入一场更大格局中的无力感。能看到一些有趣的反类型元素，比如抢摩托没抢成功，什么阴谋不过就是黑帮厮杀。但整个故事都还在传统类型下进行，男主是怎么身上中枪还和没事一样的，他们拍中枪就是比谁喊得声音大，好家伙！
偏写实的政治惊悚题材，天生略显沉闷，导演为了挽回在结尾安排贝克特爆发小宇宙，跳车那一瞬间好像成龙附体。
太困了看的不仔细，男主几乎一直在跑，悬疑效果不错，感觉挺真实，就是剧情太弱。坎妹太可怜了，打了个酱油演了个尸体。
与电影度过无聊的半小时，没有亮点，没有惊喜，只是一个电影而已。
2021.9.24车祸女友死意外撞破政治绑架被追杀，结局反杀
最后的翻盘看着很给力。但是仔细想想好像并没有什么可能翻盘的地方。
色彩处理和信条类似，两位女主都是我喜欢的,可惜剧情老套叙事太差
卢卡·圭达尼诺《阴风阵阵》的副导演，虽然是政治惊悚，但阴森风格一脉相承。
前半段悬疑感十足，但故事本身并没有太强的逻辑性和说服性，最后的揭秘部分也不够透彻，对观众来说前面把好奇心高高吊起，但答案却有些无力，让人失去了“原来如此”的顿悟感。给了个好问题，却没有好答案
可惜女主 这个男朋友居然开车睡着 哎 找男朋友不能找个靠谱的嘛
甜蜜恋人希腊旅行，车祸后女又死去，生存下来的男主意外卷入希腊政治派别争斗，被暗杀中逃亡最终干掉坏人们！编剧真是心大，男主一次跳悬崖，一次跳高楼，还都没死爬起来就开打，真乃神人也！丹泽尔华盛顿儿子主演，坎妹戏份太少也太腻歪了！逃亡途中还算曲折，其余剧情一般！
可以看得出来制作团队想学Stanley Kubrick的那套方法，但还是不够成熟。但不管怎么说这也算是后现代splatter horror film的一种了～
隐约看到不少片子的影子，希胖的节奏，全程懵逼的男主（继《信条》之后又扮演了一个no one），自然主义式的希腊风光。阵容是导演男票刷来的吗，教授的配乐打酱油的达妹，有点豪华。因为剧本的短板，总体的成片平平，但一些段落展示了导演的灵气，如在游行人群中的追逐戏，在山谷中的逃脱镜头，进入城市后在列车上的紧张感，都留下了记忆点。若找个好点的剧本，未来可期。
挺不错的悬疑电影 基本上没啥尿点 就是有点小bug 瑕不掩瑜
啥玩意啊莫名其妙的剧情，废话好多，随便看看吧
