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'.

好无聊啊，本来还以为齿虫那个有点意思，结果又回到了丧尸。。。。
感觉每个故事都可以再多几个镜头，要么交代前因后果，要么留下细思极恐的彩蛋，所以总体感觉就是差一口气
1.8 资料馆 经历过拆迁 算是有些感同身受了
说实话肯定是不如第一部的，虽然第一部也不咋地。现在发现了一个规律，网上吹爆的恐怖片，基本都是烂片，一堆没看过鬼片的人在那自嗨似的。总体上演员颜值都还不错，但是剧情实在不行，不恐怖也不悬疑也不血腥也不惊悚，四不像，啥都想要啥都没有。
很多短小的故事，类似怪奇物语。（寄生虫的part很恶心。
长这样，还不接受，那就把你变丑。
所有短片都充斥着“手”这一元素，床边突然出现的手、洗头时头顶出现的手、手机屏幕里出现的手。
可能因为是短篇集锦，所以导致每个故事看起来有种无厘头的感觉，逻辑就更不用说了。
两星半吧，虽然10个小故事各有特色，但水平都太平庸了，也可能是限于篇幅的缘故。无论是对于情节、逻辑、人物、主题上的刻画都非常粗浅，完全依靠猎奇来吸引眼球，以至于整个故事几乎都是围绕那一两个恐怖镜头来服务。尤其是镜子化妆那个，根本就不知所云。稍微好一点的是齿虫和人体模型，分别指向寄生虫病毒以及类人恐怖谷效应。然后主角们的表现依旧是看到危险就是不跑，等着被杀，或者笨到跑不掉，在一部电影里反复这样也是蛮无聊的。二手衣柜那个故事的女主倒是很勇，但最后依然剧情杀。至于恐怖镜头，just so so。这种片子也就是打发时间比较有用
每个故事的主人都多少脑子有点那大病，碰见鬼和坏人第一反应都不是往外跑无语死了
不行，每个故事都不行。有几个设定还可以，但10分钟太短，真的拍不好。恐怖短片要不然你就拍到30分钟左右，完整的讲故事，要不就纯玩吓人不要故事背景，像《怪谈新耳袋》那样三四分钟也很好。10分钟时间既想把故事讲出前因后果，又要突出惊吓点，没戏。更何况这片的大部分惊吓点都很潦草，有很大的敷衍感。
敲墙和隔壁美女聊天结果是墙里面的鬼
十个十分钟的恐怖小故事十种不同死法
刷抖音看到解说，反感这种镜头都是一惊一乍的老式吓人套路，不打算看完整片了，就这样吧，我还是一如既往不喜欢日韩恐怖片为吓人而吓人的变态感觉。
看到30分钟，齿虫患者要牙医脖子时果断弃……现实活着易不易，甭再添噩梦了！
#20220108资料馆 平遥影展在北京＃ 典型的电影节项目 影像质感还不错 但故事没讲好 导演可能科长看得太多了（怪不得科长主投）可能这个片子最大的意义在于对柬埔寨这个国家的影像记录
中规中矩，柬埔寨城市化建设之下，好友的移民法国和自己在破旧待拆筒子楼的境遇成为鲜明对比。导演想说的太多，城中村青年的梦想，家庭，性苦闷等等等等，但是都只是铺开来说，只是画卷没有深入。
前1/3还行，越往后越拉垮，模仿大师没错，但别请他做监制，会束手束脚吧。
恐怖片实在是拍不出新意了。之前看了两眼机翻字幕啥也没看懂，终于有个正常字幕了，感觉看没看懂也无所谓了。。
片尾后采导演自述了与白色大厦的联结，生长在大厦里对大厦的情怀也可以扩大化到亟待生长的县城。
