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'.

在Almaty飞Istanbul的飞机上看的
节奏紧凑，氛围紧张，完成度很好，其实是一个容易猜到结局的故事，但是在有限的空间内将精彩做到了最大化，每一次冲突和反转都设计的很惊喜。
说跟Raw有一比的朋友们我就搞不懂了。这个充其量算是降智版本？设置的有点刻意，太多地方都过度说明了导致观感不好。连卖点一口咬掉都是之前Teeth玩剩下的。明明这么有趣的题材可以更黑色更犀利的。给加一星是因为结尾的出租车小哥，”he’s married?!”以及Chad的”you up”的吐槽非常点睛。要是全片都能有这么棒的视角就好了。
好片，加上“前程似锦的女孩，算是今年第二部涉及女权的片子。牺牲太大了，就算带喜剧标签，还是看得不忍…我想说当一个现实问题被“概念化”以后，人们会以为是个可以“杠”的辩题，这也是我讨厌形而上的原因。当一群人面临实实在在的生活问题的时候，比如歧视谋杀强奸，对另外一群人而言只是多了餐桌上的话题，政治正确与否都不过是无关痛痒的自我表达。不多说了，与电影无关
汉尼拔恋爱脑可还行，最后成片两不靠太可惜！#我小时候的确想过，约到吃人魔这种该怎么办
电影还是有许多令人惊悚的桥段设计得很好，塞巴斯蒂安成功塑造了这样一位病态角色。
Btw，这片子通篇都是看不起男人的意思，I love it
谁普信装杯失败就发癫，谁遇到危险撒腿就跑，谁把女人当掌中物盘中餐，我不说dddd
整部电影都在讲着一个吃人的道理:男人不值得！
到最后我以为还会来个反杀， 下毒杀死所有的变态， 结果，，，你妈， 这是为了续集做准备吗？
大型厌男片，惊悚做的不是很到位，大部分篇幅都在讲爱情
帅哥靓女，密室反杀，爽就完了！短评里那个艾米汉莫的年度十佳真的别把我笑死！p.s.真的有必要和亲朋好友约定一个暗号，类似I love you, I love you more.
剧作在线，结尾收的太仓促，女主有点像安妮海瑟薇……
为啥感觉是女主一步步把坏人逼上绝路呢，本来坏人并没打算伤害小女孩的性命，女主等有信号让警察来救人不好吗？可惜了黑人大叔，啥没干就死了。不过女主也很强悍了，生命力也顽强。就是在她拿着枪时给那小哥来两枪让他失去行动能力，把他的武器抢走不好吗？不管怎么样，紧张感还是有的。而且看在女主是亚洲人的份上，还是要支持呀！
一定是女导演拍的，开头的date我真的已经窒息了；33分半后出片名（翻译《恋爱噬言》不错）简直酷毙。选角赏心悦目，最后有被爽到，结束得也相当果断。这真是看电影大开眼戒的典型范例。
感觉我国导演看到会翻拍… 那个手疼死我了
非常的不错，剧情合理，简洁，大大的超出了我的预期。特别是女主，居然长得很像我以前处过一妹子，莫名的居然多了些带入感。。
请国内影视剧看看人家！惊悚片都是大女主的样子啊！

一点也不恐怖，无功无过的电影。华裔小姐姐的打斗还算利落。
