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'.

着实一般，前半段还算普普通通，闹剧式电影，高低搭配的反差主角两个，缝合了点成龙元素，勉勉强强合格的类型片。但是后半段，透着一股预算用光的贫穷，没法补拍随便剪辑的过场，加的对白只能借位用画外音……
俗套是真俗套，好笑也有点好笑，山P一句台词可还行
故事转折曲奇，很爽的爽片。女主翘钉子算是全片名场面了。
节奏是没有任何问题的，紧凑且流畅，有硬核也有反转。最后警察那无脑的一枪差点让我想改成两星，不过就公允角度而言，倒也不至于。其实挺不能理解这种甘愿牺牲自己也要救陌生人的无脑正义，可以不利己，但也没必要无私到这种程度。
这是干啥呢啊？动作和惊悚？惊悚搞哪呢？惊悚拍丢啦？
欧美电影难得有个亚裔妹子当主角并且演技还可以，剧情也还算抓人，短小精悍，人物逻辑性更强点就更棒了
看着突然想到《养鬼食人》里钉子头要是摔一跤的话……
好低成本，传统的暴风雪山庄模式剧本，期待放得不高的话就还好。节奏和分镜可能会有一些问题，刺激点似乎都没达到。
真心不错，小成本虽老套但有吸引力，女主角演技很棒，也很耐看，越看越漂亮那种，比目前最后的一些亚裔演技要好，看好她。
套路满满的爆米花，但还算及格。同意郭达的观点，这片拍成r级会有更多可能性，拳馆长镜头变成屠杀也许能复刻王牌保镖的成功~
我一开始以为是大逃杀类的片，一屋子人要一边猜谁是杀手一边逐个被杀掉。还寻思着这部大逃杀的摄影布景都还挺用心。然后我以为要玩牌玩大半集才能找到内华达司机，没想到司机根本没撒谎。尽管主角智商在线，但剧情还是挺没劲的。总结出一个规律，脱困一定要靠自己，这类片都会有一些让人觉得安全感十足的配角，但无论是没带枪的海军陆战队，还是带了枪的警察，都救不了主角，脱困一定要靠自己。
doesn't even build based on any logic
还行吧，剧情进展有条有序，演员演技也过关，小成本复仇片
我只想知道，玻璃门是什么时候烂的？还有为什么不是白人女主？而是一个亚裔而且演技奇差！
反派死于好奇心重又话多，还有防滑鞋的重要性
Kevin像在演电影版脱口秀，郭达不接这部戏是非常正确的，山P帅不过三秒。
完全没预料到会这么好笑 也没预料到会见到山p
非常常规和套路的动作喜剧片，但感觉这么多年来这些杀手的薪资没咋太涨，你要说20年前200万美元还是很有吸引力的，现在感觉不至于这么玩命吧。
女主很在线，脑子很清楚，这件事告诉我们，不要相信陌生人。后半截节奏乱了，有些拖沓。
就标准化好莱坞那一套，看海报就知道大概的故事和结局了，故事进行了一点创新，娱乐性不错，结尾有些拖沓，打发时间的话说的过去。
