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'.

第三个故事最好看.但电影看下来.真的看到我想吐.因为拍摄手法和画面真的让人很晕阙.晕船浪一样.
比小时候看的录像带更血腥！但创意上基本是暗网都市传说汇编
有一部分很赛博朋克，很喜欢，其他部分都觉得很普通，总体三星。
下水道鼠人怪、殡仪馆复活的被肢解的尸体、实验室机器合成人，还有最后一个雪地里的故事不懂什么意思。挺CULT, 够暴力, 机器合成人那里恶心了一下。永远不要给机器人活着的机会！！
太有趣了吧？几个故事都各有千秋，我最喜欢是机器人那个，短短10多分钟能把人性诉说得这么有层次感，赞
只看了第一个，对这种劣画质又晃个不停的实在是不感冒
种草了殡仪馆的一首歌。系列喜好度：4＞1＞2＞3
1.新聞工作者真的很危險。 2.守靈夜驚魂。 3.變態醫生和他的戰爭機器人。 4.吸血鬼的復仇。 5.血の錄像帶。 總體來說：1>3>2>5>4
最爱VHS！！第三个好精致啊画风都不一样了
鼠人我喜欢 机器改造那个完成度超高 只是我没想到就真的是全程做旧特效啊 接受不了
值得推荐的恐怖片 人体改造那段值得一部独立电影
全片可以给七分
血腥 肢解 朋克 重口 吸血鬼。喔嚯，这脑洞怕是已经看不见地球了。
这系列居然这么快就重启了，不过说真的，确实比上一部，也就是之前三部曲中2014年出的第三部要好看不少。最喜欢第三个有关“疯狂科学家旨在将人跟机器融合”的故事，综合质素也是四个故事里最好的；其次第二跟最后一个小故事也不错，一个有点像“活跳尸+科学怪人”、一个应该是此系列第一个融入了政治讽刺+黑色喜剧元素的故事。总的来说，每个故事的质量相比之前的第三部都有所回升，有些回到系列第一部的感觉(当然这系列最佳还是2013年出的第二部)。不管怎么说，作为伪纪录形式恐怖片爱好者，希望这个短片集系列还能继续拍下去吧。三星整。。
艹，玩儿的太开了，小时候玩过的鬼屋游戏和重口黏土动画竟然能拍成真人版，百无禁忌的残酷想象力，一边看一边心里惊叹“WHF?!”好久没看过这么胡逼的片子了。
就挺一般的，负责串起来几个短片的大主线尤其弱智。
女人惨，灵异守夜殡仪馆
哎，这种故意为之的复古画面是为了省经费吧，啥啥都看不清……
四个故事恶趣味一脉相承，录像带元概念优秀但不出彩，而且有简化故事结构的嫌疑。故意做旧的粗糙感太过，镜头切换很无厘头。看后兄弟们一致认为3>2>1>4，我个人的顺序是1>2>4>3，有时候越是basic的恐怖故事越令人印象深刻。
我说实话。。。我更喜欢1～3部那种风格。。。这种小故事没得那味儿
