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'.

仿佛看了一部有声读物，台词功力还是不错，不过剧情上怎么说呢...结局圆满吧
跟原版比起来基本没啥改动，全面了解到911接线员的系统还是很先进的，想查啥就能查啥。Joe太神经质了一点，感觉都有点淡化悬疑感了。
翻拍版没什么惊喜，拍的也不如原版克制内敛，过于外放的情感看起来没什么震撼
7/10，整部基本都只有杰克一人露脸，故事挺吸引人的，但有点躁狂症的人设给人感觉不太舒适
杰克吉伦哈尔的演技可圈可点 但是剧本台词比起其他单人独幕剧来说太太太单薄了 紧急惊悚啥的完全看不到吧 困死我了
2021.10.1 看之前都不知道是翻拍，就覺得懸念節奏設置得不太到位，男主獨角戲很有看頭，但總覺得他頂著一張帥臉沒太能刻畫出人物性格（對白也有關係吧）導致我最後都有點一頭霧水。而且Ethan Hawke為什麼不出鏡啊真討厭！
颜狗舔屏90分钟 就应该这样怼脸拍 很好👌
很美式的翻拍，好的部分还原作的形式感和剧情，却少了原作克制的质感带来的感染力，仿佛一道素三丝的功夫菜给整成海鲜麻辣烫了，添加的警察暴力议题也比较游离，不太成功。
但故事还是没有讲好，警察的心里转变与故事的反转都显得太过突然。
暴躁人做暴躁事..... 男主的态度真让人讨厌！尽管一直在试图做好事，但看的人很暴躁。被绑女子只会哭。故事里没有一个人让人共情或尊敬，看了只有一种感悟，可怜之人必有可恨之处！浪费我2小时，还不如看北京13号线3男1女地铁互殴
低成本电影的天花板（源于我那糟糕的记忆力（确实想不起其他类似的极低成本单场景又拉满一整部作品的电影啦
3.5。Broken people save broken people .跟男主一样的极度焦虑狂躁。
全程單一佈景，翻拍丹麥原版作品，撇除好萊塢的創意已經蕩然無存之外，影片基本上改編的不俗，安東尼法奎盡可能地在單一佈景之中增添佈景外的視覺，以營造出空間不被侷限之感，電視牆上播放著延燒一整晚的洛杉磯大火新聞，便是單一空間佈景中所做的外面世界佈景設定，整部片場景就設在警局的電話接控中心，也因此撐起整部片的關鍵便是傑克葛倫霍的表演。美版的改編加入洛杉磯大火背景、男主角的自我救贖設定，受過傷的人救了受傷的人，接線員在拯救電話另一端的人的同時，也拯救了自己的良心，認罪迎來最真實的救贖。其實丹麥版當初在戲院看到睡著XD（可能丹麥語對我來說太催眠），美版全靠葛倫霍的演技撐起，雖然有點用力過頭，但傑克葛倫霍一直以來都是這樣表演的XD，安東尼法奎總算拍了部全靠文戲營造出戲劇張力的警匪電影。
不能说照原版翻拍，只能说相差无几。所以也没什么可说，都没看过那二选一均可。
作为警察情绪那么不受控制，难怪会误杀小孩。结尾算是政治正确的良心发现么。中间剧情就还好，也在预料之中，演技也就那样吧
煎熬 愤怒，我看了都产生了这种感觉。演员长达一个半小时的面部表情特写，极其考验演技。另外，伊桑霍克，你在哪里？没看到你啊。
broken people save broken people
三颗星都给老吉，整部电影都是老吉的舞台，表演课很精彩！
一向不太理解这种仅仅换了团队、文本几乎无长进的翻拍电影有什么存在的必要，蛮喜欢jake的所以还是看了。但是演员吧有时候完全可以松弛一些，演戏不用总是大火爆炒。你知道你在酝酿，观众也看得出来你在酝酿，一层又一层情绪铺垫最后果然来次大的，it is too much.说白了还是天赋问题，不是说演技差，就是看得观众很累，不应该是这样的
杰克努力了，但真的无聊又烂，连基本的叙事都没能完成。那个被伤害的儿子到底怎么被伤害的为什么被伤害没说清楚，针对电话那头的男女主的说明也不够…
