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'.

推理悬疑电影推理部分竟然是最弱的，虽然场景还挺美的
相当出彩了，谢苗可以来个东北警察系列下去，近年来很难得的国产警匪动作了。打戏凌厉，但其实还可以更好看一点；另外靠偶遇那个被欺负的小孩后来想到线索有点可惜，这条线以及反派三兄弟的塑造都不够完整，警察资料提现了三兄弟各有特点但剧情里并没有刻画出来，这一点可以学学杀破狼三兄弟，这样一来时长至少可以拉到一小时四十分钟，可以更好
1.伴着舞蹈无处不在的布鲁斯音乐还行。
2022.2.20 16：45 9排2座 上海影城cinity厅谢幕 明年再见
李红旗其实是个诗人，还是个导演。
但凡冠上“东北”二字，故事就有那儿味了。曾经的东北，黑社会猖獗，大家应该听过“乔四”。剧中的算是黑恶势力，地痞流氓，敲诈勒索。谢苗饰演的人民警察，正是施展拳脚的时候了。扫黑除恶，除恶务尽。
一星给女神，一星给还算反转的结局，一星给尼罗河绝美的风光和无与伦比的金字塔。破案过程真心太仓促了，听说以前的一版很不错
没看过原著、没看过老版，感觉案子有点简单，真凶单从动机上就很容易判断，就一个会计表哥稍微会有些许干扰。可怜的妈宝男可以说是被他妈逼死了。觉得回头还是看看原著吧。
6.0/10
出乎意料的可以，給武術指導加雞腿，拳拳到肉，酣暢淋漓，感覺有點像韓劇動作片。 (沒想到謝苗都這麼大了。
運鏡很時尚，人物塑造懸疑推理都是走過場，波洛打仗拍拖剃鬚倒是第一次見。
没看过之前的那部 没看过原著。最后终于明白了 当头 为什么前女友看着当时的男友和盖尔加朵第一次跳舞，就默默看着流泪了，就像要失去他一样。还有 最好的惊喜彩蛋 莫过于那位 you know nothing john snow的火吻女
有些地方欠火候，但好喜欢看到谢苗的打戏啊～
和water 聪岩看的
医院和公交，两场动作戏都不错，配角反派的演出也OK，谢苗也很努力，但是真的不合适，不痞不帅的公安干警太难招人喜欢了
经典故事，太多遍了，剧本没啥新意。只有1个加朵颜值身材能看看0^(
也请这位老师不要再拍了。。。对胡子的起源没有兴趣。
要有女同，要有有色人种，给你辆自行车要不要？啧。
在保留原著核心诡计的同时，尽可能做了一些适合现代观影需求的改编，总体上来说还是值得一看
几年前看到谢苗释小龙秦鹏飞聚会，讲要做年轻人的动作电影。到如今初见成果，惊喜诚然。谢苗同学也迎来了自己网大生涯的最优秀作品，有些拨开云雾终见日出的意味。电影底色正，不浮夸。主线剧情，还是动作戏，都有所依托，未有脱离现实边际的编造感与过度失真。狭窄空间里动作戏设计精彩十分，巧心不匠气。足见秦鹏飞才华与情商。而演员演出又都认真，连彩蛋都温馨感十足，可见一个真正有所创作的快乐团队。希望能有续作，未来有更广阔平台。
