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'.

我居然在一开场就猜到谜底是啥了……果然多年来恐怖片惊悚片不是白看的。不过最后谜底揭晓时那段虐杀太爽了，场面拍的相当棒。
今年值得期待的恐怖片有点多，温大师的回归之作算一部，111分钟未删减版本看得很过瘾，虽然是个全程没有鬼的恐怖片（所以国内可以引进吧）但温氏恐怖效应还是贯穿全片的，节奏感很好，故事核不再是千篇一律的人格分裂啊……内容，脑洞还是有惊喜的，不过风格总感觉有点像另外一部恐怖电影《关灯后》不过不同的是，那是真的有鬼，也有精神病。全片的惊喜在于这个结尾我没猜到，本以为是一部讲意识，意念的玄幻恐怖片，可最终还是披了一层科学的外衣。不过我完全能get到影片所表达的真实性，因为这种奇葩人体标本在我5岁的时候就在人体博物馆里看到过，因此留下了永恒不灭深刻的印象。寄身于同一个身体拥有两个灵魂…这都是真实自然存在的事情。期待温大师以后还是做导演，多导点片子吧，可别监制了😂
至少温子仁能够艺术表达和市场受众两手抓，也是种本领。
这难道不是温子仁以B级片为外核讲了一个《走近科学》的故事吗？！开局对宅子空间上的运用几乎与《招魂》如出一辙，路灯下以及后来逃回房间时俯瞰镜头甚至更胜一筹。对于影子，以及诸如医生遇害前红调雨帘、绿调探头的红绿调打光在场景切换中的运用完美。虽然有一段ps4游戏镜头感极强、但特效跟不上的打闹警局过于拉胯，但寄生双胞胎勾起儿时租VCD租到《篮子里的恶魔》的童年阴影非常加分！
我胆儿也是肥了，都敢看温导拍的铅黄电影了。
巴哥不少，但看片过程能让人沉浸里面没想那么多，不过电影一结束就各种冒出来了。
我的天 这让我想起走近科学里有一期类似的 没那么极端 但那是第一次知道寄生胎
还好看的是网盘版本。。。。不然白看了。。。看录像那段还算刺激哈哈
对一个人住大公寓有阴影了/要了命了，每到血腥情节就开始给我卡顿，一帧一帧播放，观影体验不要太沉浸
一开头看到长发飘飘的就能让人猜到是用的是斯蒂芬金《黑暗的另一半》里的设定。前半部效果还是挺好的，不输于金的设定，后面就有点垮塌了。
就…就算是看之前根本没啥期待吧，但拍恐怖片的功力退步成这个鬼样子还真是没想到的，比拉胯的节奏更惨的是屁大点情节必配慢镜头加气势恢宏的BGM，尴尬癌都快当场去世了！这是拍了速激的降智后遗症吗？后劲这么强？！
3星半。虽然低于预期，但成片完成度非常高，故事创意也很有意思，仍然是在类型片水准之上的娱乐片。温子仁的惊悚恐怖片依然值得信赖。
恐怖程度对我来说恰到好处，前半段是温子仁擅长的那种密闭空间下的恐怖气氛营造，看得出来非常驾轻就熟，对场景和节奏的把控都很到位。有几处神来之笔的配乐让我又觉得不那么简单，果然后半段开启了完全不同的画风，随着剧情推进，直接改为大杀特杀的血浆恐怖。不得不说两种风格衔接的很好，这种做法在契合情节的同时，大大削弱了剧本的一些缺憾，给观众更直观的爽快感，去忽略悬疑揭开后的逻辑纰漏。温子仁真是把商业片玩的贼溜。
配乐和氛围感都很棒，但是故事总感觉差了点力道。
嗐！这次的设定很漫威+哈利波特。开始以为是伏地魔和哈利波特的关系，没想到是伏地魔和奇洛教授🧖♀️🧙♀️🕵
一开始感觉是精分，最后果然温子仁没有让我失望，这样的设定还是相当有新意的，号子里和警局office的屠杀凌厉超神，不想说支持盗版，但是如果像现在这种处理法真的是变成了另一部电影。惊悚悬疑这一趴，温子仁还是yyds啊
夭寿啦 温子仁不拍鬼片啦 差点忘了温导是拍saw发家的……双面人的设定其实蛮多的但是动起来真的很！帅！啊！不过有一说一但凡女主被家暴以后去拍个脑核磁也不至于这样……
前面还可，后面真面目出来以后...动作戏太喜感了。吴宇卫，橄榄我谢谢🙏
确实不如之前几部吓人，但是还算很用心，毕竟好久没有回归恐怖片老本行了，以及这个表演真的好费演员。
温子仁……仁……仁……
