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'.

觉得不合理的地方，最后都出现了反转。每个人都在各自性格的轨迹上行走偏离一点点，汇聚到了一起，不会显得突兀。给中间隐晦对抗浇灭火苗的人加一星。
哥几个最终还是拍了部烂片出来，也是蛮反套路的。
怎么说呢～还是一个很有意思的片子的话，值得看。
做得最好地方是温情和悬疑，倒不如完全放弃万合天宜搞笑那部分，整体还会有提升。不喜欢像《驴得水》一样完全放在极致情境里体现人性的电影，但设置在民国才能讲，就是时代的妥协，和去越南拍一样。观感可以给三星半。
6.9 曾经看的万万没想到团队进步真的很大，他们很懂观众需求——反转再反转，也懂一些影迷的需求——元电影，也懂一些青年的需求——强权的可怕
期待过高，实际是电影院里看了场《明星大侦探》。这位苏梦蝶不就是杨蓉老师经常扮演的角色：“她只是一位普通的女孩子，她有什么错，我也是女孩子，我理解她，所以我也想帮她逃走。”但无论苏梦蝶还是夜莺，女性仍是被剧情客体化了。推动故事的不是这些人物，而是再下一个情节点，只重效果而不讲因果—哪怕不算它是艺术，电影只能让你们做到这个么？
没那么好，但是对现在的中国悬疑片而言，能讲好一个逻辑勉强通顺且有反转的故事，已经是很难得了，得加分了。
三星半，我觉得还可以，国产电影拍这种悬疑题材好好拍还是能拍出东西的。结合最近小红楼事件就更可以说了。大家都那么喜欢张本煜，说明市场还是很需要这种有男人味的演员，也喜欢这种有责任心的角色
2.6 没有拍长片的技能。建议改去抖音连载。
如果停在余凯磊的哮喘戴一把火烧尽，然后接到秦霄贤的照片某种原因流出来挂在橱窗的结尾，个人就给就五星了。揉了老库的闪灵、大开眼界以及斯巴达克斯，效果比徐峥用方框临摹韦安要好～现在不用时空大挪移之阵都没发拍片了，我相信上海的另一个房间发生的事，电影主创们绝不会想去擦一点边。只是它总是无可避免的让人想到，因为 地狱空荡荡。
立（不住脚）
6分片。硬件不行，摄影、调度什么的都很一般，所以时不时搞段经典致敬，配乐一会儿仿“色戒”一会儿仿“星际穿越”。软件上作为类型片剧本在国内确实算不错，用对话、台词渐次塑造人物多面性，国内好多类型片编剧写不出来（虽然理应是基本功）。但吹捧立意的就算了，关于真相和记忆的呈现，以及最终隐晦提及的黑暗结局并没有超出common sense（AKA好莱坞类型片式意识形态）。平时看的话可能考虑是国产片，手松就给个7分的鼓励分了。然而碰巧这两天才刚看完《圣母》，同样涉及“身体”“真”“记忆”“权力”这些概念。无法不注意到国内外编导思辨能力的差距。
里八神的本子，有他一贯的诙谐幽默讽刺
从没玩过剧本杀的我大概通过这部电影知道是咋回事儿了
一个大关节不错的剧本安排进了老旧的笑料和一看就知道要呼应的伏笔，把整部电影的质感变得塑料。“像我爸爸”“假发对假发夜莺被摧毁”这些我都提前猜到了。
隐喻的东西太多了。直接把王晶的人设和台词上身，还有英雄本色的台词直接上身。对审查制度点满了讽刺点。笑死我了😆。
拒绝如此廉价的感动和情感操弄，剧情全然无厘头，全为反转而无法反转，全靠剧本杀类型的情节反转与老套桥段抓人眼球，唯一细思极恐之处在于一帮人推断老齐为了夜莺的贞洁而将她分尸了!搁着大清还没亡呢？这真是全片最为恐怖的情节了，也不知道是不是姜文开了一个极坏的头，民国时期的风物历史都以一种高度扭曲，极其油腻的方式呈现在镜头下，并没有感到预料的诙谐，只有对于正视历史的拒绝。作为《万万没想到》的粉丝，给万合天宜一星，影片一星。
白客呢？///看阵容很动心，看剧本有点担心。请不要扑街了啊///救命。可能因为看之前期待没那么高，看完之后简直想说一句：刘循子墨我爱你！！！另外，喜欢报告老板和万万没想到的人一定也会喜欢这部电影！当然，不只是无厘头搞笑，剧本也很丰富，有节奏，能打动观众。我猜这种风格不一定每个人都能接受，看到有的人提前离场觉得有点可惜。但是！我喜欢这部电影！（白客和小爱在后面打了个酱油哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！）
近几年最让我惊艳的国产悬疑片，还是唐人街探案1、记忆大师、心迷宫、暴裂无声。扬名立万，远不如这几个。
英文片尾曲是爵士乐灵魂人物爵士乐大师路易斯阿姆斯特朗的《What A Wonderful World》。之前在罗宾威廉姆斯的《早安越南》里也曾出现过。大家也可以听一下麦可布雷的版本，就是很适合在家里跟爱人跳舞的那种曲子
