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'.

911-What's your problem?
作为一个人的独角戏，本片其实不太值得去影院，更适合Netflix上观看。故事就发生在几米的距离里，全程只见男主一个人对着电话冲不同的人喊了1个多小时。不过影片也再次展示了杰克·吉伦哈尔过硬的演技，一个人撑起整部影片，就算一直只盯着他的脸居然也不会烦。老吉的表演紧紧抓住观众神经，让观众只能从他的叙述中知道破碎的信息，跟他一样因为无法了解真相而如坐针毡。不过他出演的警员确实太不适合担任911接线员工作了。
没有看过原版所以还没有对比，单从故事而言实在是优秀，信息的闭塞调动情绪，台词和表演真强，老吉大型个人秀，关键是完全可以撑得住，不得不说就是实力
“Broken people save broken people”. 情节几度紧张到我啃指甲。杰克希伦哈尔的独角戏值得10分满分的10分。
独角戏电影，演得还是可以的，就是剧情偏弱点。
“真相使人自由”
一个优秀的剧本+绝对优秀的表演，还要什么画面，声音即可。镜像投射和共情。
翻拍丹麦版本，一个带罪的警察911接线员！杰克吉伦哈尔一个人的表演，颓废，愤怒，伤感，渴望，自责，不安的表现力精彩！虽然有些拖沓，但最后结局转变还是颇有意味！
跟之前那部叫calls的美剧有些异曲同工，就是一边有了真人。挺扣人心弦，后面那么一反转也挺好
节奏有点拖垮，这种片子的节奏应该是让观众一直悬着一口气，可我从始自终气就没怎么提起过
嗯……用一个突如其来的救赎换取另一个救赎……
什么叫一流商业片导演，什么叫王牌编剧，什么叫剧情张力，什么叫精湛演技？一个警情呼叫中心办公室，一张办公桌，一部iPhone，一个男人，这片就成了！屏幕上这张帅脸，电话那头的声音，牢牢抓住了观影人的心，Broken people saved broken people，男主最后的醒悟令人唏嘘和欣慰。
我的天，COVID-19 特别版小成本制作 Gyllenhaal 脸部特写尝鲜舔屏特别辑
喜欢这种就靠剧情取胜的小成本制作，罪人的自我救赎，各种电话里的演员演技就要秒杀国内众多了，有点诧异评分太低，搜了一下果然是翻拍，不过没看过原版，所以没有很挑剔，自己喜欢就行了
6.6分。翻拍2018丹麦版的，基本还原了。比不了原版，但杰克的演技还是过关的。抛开电影本身不讲，我真的是厌烦了基督教这群白狗，整天救赎这救赎那的，自己罪孽深了开始反思忏悔了？呵呵。
有吸引力有转折, broken people save broken people, 最后结局不大喜欢
911-What's your problem?
好家伙
jake老独角戏表演艺术家了，卡司用有限的哭腔喘息去传达复杂情绪，同时包裹很多琐碎典型社会问题，再来点世界末日的氛围，还是挺美式翻拍的，broken people save broken people，amen
减分的翻拍，只有吉伦哈尔的卖力表演可以看了。
