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'.

妮可那段疯批戏好乐啊🥺
实话就是一群“原始人”为了个小村庄，搞来搞去争当话事人，感觉就是一群神经病，说着类哈姆雷特的台词，又神话又大地又别扭。•᷄ࡇ•᷅这么简单的故事拍得这么乏味。两个女角色是挺漂亮的。没有了。感觉好脏好脏啊，整部电影。
不想看装腔作势又粗劣浅显的王子复仇戏码了。
完全像是一部（十年前）国内拍出来的奇幻片………但是必须要说对中国传统文化的展现大概比百分之九十的国产奇幻片要好得多（包括了九尾狐 麒麟 龙的展现，以及催婚和重男轻女【）
忍辱为父报仇，解救被俘母亲的男主设定。
摄影美哭！唯一不足的是在优秀的演员配置和壮丽的风景拍摄下没有更有深度去展现这个角色以及这个故事的更多面向，一切都很符号化，就像每一幕的文字标题，充满着神秘又原始的符号印象。总的来说还是很满意！
全片最赞的场面居然是开头攻城时的长镜头，既然已经如此风格化处理了，其实不如再大胆一些，干脆做成下一个《斯巴达三百勇士》。
老故事披上新外衣，没有突破反而显得更拖沓。不过，女主角还是很漂亮的。
华裔版《黑豹》。但不同的是，中国文化没断过根，而且中国文化有一个明确而强大的母国。所以现在的中国观众看这部电影，就会有强烈的文化不适感。于此同时，美国主流白人观众还会觉得惋惜，好可惜，你们居然看不到这部电影……
没有想象的烂，公车那一段还不错，但意外的是刘思慕在片子里真的不好看，其实他作为insta guy还可以，结果一上大银幕网红现形，偏偏还可劲儿怼脸拍，如果他是配角只拍身法的话效果应该还好点。
看得出砸了钱。但是这种早期血腥暴力的城邦野蛮文明真的欣赏不来。而且这多多少少有点神眷在身上，冷兵器打得那么血腥都没死，火山口打架都没让岩浆弄死。看得我真觉得好像有神存在。
狼图腾、世界之树、终焉的火山，符号很好但也只是符号
我看完知道是讲的王子复仇记 但是里面的剧情也看的我神神叨叨的
除了冰岛的景色一无是处。。。顶多还有乔伊的美颜。。。enmmm
看了一半的时候以为是颠覆王子复仇记，强调女性意识，到头来还是红颜祸水的论调。9000万的预算去哪了？拍大景和请大咖了？以前导演的a24是神棍片，那一种不明所以的惊悚感全然消失。还是老老实实玩惊悚小成本吧，期待下一部安雅的吸血鬼吧，，，
仿佛一场大型魔幻舞台剧。台词不多 但每句台词都让“华丽”到让人想笑。场景的衔接莫名其妙。叔叔每次都出去守卫了个寂寞 让男主进到家里 这剧情真是搞笑。拍这种电影简直是资源浪费 不知道小演员有没有心理阴影。同样是决斗 这决斗可比最后的决斗差十万八千了，观影中只想着 怎么还不结束 硬撑着看完了
梁朝伟rio辛苦，活了千年突然就春心动了，出门买个菜突然老婆就没了，跟儿子打着打着就被吸光了，中间还要帮迪士尼甩掉满大人的锅...
入場之前沒看過預告，在地鐵站經過看到海報，和朋友說：哇！原來有梁朝偉！
导演有没有拍嗨不知道，反正我是看爽了（当然，酒精也起到了作用
另类王子复仇，杂糅的民间异教和北欧神话竟可以展现得如此怪力乱神。可惜单薄的故事承受不住波谲的世界观，在导演的个人美学作用下沦为纯形式的空洞美感。剧情也成了表现的嫁衣，最后一幕不忍推敲。★★☆
