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'.

没有一个女人愿意在亲手杀死自己孩子的阴影中继续活下去。各位姐妹，远离暴躁的男人吧，你甭管他妈是在工作中还是生活中，情绪容易失控的男人，咱就远离吧。毕竟，命要紧。
杰克·吉伦哈尔新片，还不错。看了快一半才想起来这片的原版是2018年丹麦拍的，片名相同，时长长了五分钟。基本上是独角戏，对演员的演技要求还是挺高的，吉伦哈尔表现还行，没有惊艳的地方。这个翻拍版的问题是，剧情和几乎所有原版细节都照搬了，没有自己的改编。不知道这种没有改编的翻拍电影拍出来干嘛。不过，美国警察过失致无辜青年死亡这事却比发生在丹麦更让人信服。911报警中心的接线员还是应该定期做心理咨询的，不应该接收这种有心理问题的降职人员。
以为是反转后再反转的悬疑犯罪人性片结果居然是让人摸不着任何头脑的自我救赎“伦理”片？导演倒是功力十足，让人在观看电影的过程中即使提前知道了评分还能把期待值拉满。可惜结尾仓促潦草，剧本太拉垮，而且我完全get不到男主转变的动机和他的转变与先前情节的关联😅
相当失败的改编，套用troubled中年危机警察人物模板，把男主的asshole度拔高了几十倍，过于asshole和self-centric以至于无法共情，忍了三十分钟忍不下去弃
可以理解說在緊張的案子面前很容易判斷失誤引發心理問題等等，但是看完還是覺得說，太難了很難不被影發心理問題
除了想不明白这件事跟男主认罪有啥关系 其他都很不错
「廣播劇」式作品，很考各演員的功架(無論是表情還是聲音)，導技反而不太重要。Jake Gyllenhaal由頭帶到尾，而且駕馭得到片中的大量特寫鏡頭。
杰克吉伦哈尔的独角戏，剧情简单，表演发挥的空间也比较有限。
看原版的时候老婆睡着了，又陪着把这个版看了一遍。个人更喜欢这版，结局更光明一些。好莱坞的画面看着更舒服。
请问这个电影。。有什么。。任何的点好看的除了看看我的吉伦哈尔有没有瘦
我可太喜欢看老吉演戏了！！剧情不行全靠演技！！还有他的睫毛怎么那么长！！
非常失败的翻拍电影。杰克吉伦哈尔带来了一场毫无任何迷人之处的独角戏演出，用力过猛且浮夸的表演让本来就灾难的项目雪上加霜。看看原版就知道差距有多大了。
Jake is a smoothly performant who created the intensity of the film just by himself..
感觉是会大量出现在中戏北电各大考场的情景命题。但其实结局也蛮好猜的啦 扣一星
心情不穩的人不適合看，主角比你更情緒不穩，看了非常煩躁。成事不足敗事有餘，根本不適合幫助人，誰認識他誰倒楣
故事本身最后吉伦哈尔的自我救赎来的多少有点儿牵强。
What an unpleasant character in an unpleasant film. Couldn't wait for it to be over. Poorly executed.
这是秀杰克的演技啊。其实the guilty说是负罪感更贴切。
本来想打两星的，打的时候，一想这拍的什么东西，全程看不下去，想犯困！剧情也是莫名其妙，稀里糊涂的，全靠观众脑补，直接一星垃圾不送
过失杀人居然没有停职、心理疏导没有介入、还在接线处理警务，这个前提设置就无怪乎让主角情绪暴躁、自我解读并插手过多。
