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'.

怎么说呢，前半段节奏冗长且慢镜头铺音乐强煽情，后半段庭审的程序正义和结果正义的辩论作为引子刚调动起情绪后最终落脚点依旧还是印度自身的种姓制度和社会问题；可我转念一想，电影是作者自己的表达，而且影片反映出的难道又仅是印度独有的问题么，很多时候打高分还是电影以外的东西。
故事线和节奏都挺不错，后半部分庭审有点李狗嗨的意思了。不过就是镜头剪得有些碎，而且音效实在不能适应。
尽管电影本身有许多瑕疵，人物塑造刻板失败，法庭上用演讲代替举证让人感到非常混乱…但是，“政治通过媒体操纵民意、公众不关心事实更注重情绪宣泄”这两个core立得很好。
汉克斯演技自不必说，狗狗是个惊喜，把对机器人的嫌弃演得活灵活现。
故事B：种姓制度下寒门博士难改命50连跳；
一边跪，一边哭。
能拍敢拍三星起，中间是有点惊喜，但是总之太长了，没必要。
“一个国家的尊严就等同于它给女性的尊严。”
可以看出想表达的很多就是觉得节奏可以改改，前面铺垫好长最后十几分钟好赶
不知我们何时可以有这种自信。
不得不说汤姆汉克斯虽然已经六十多岁了依然是实打实的演技派。
不管这部片子中的反转有多少是可实现的，逻辑是不是缜密，但是不妨碍这是一部非常有力量的影片，整个积极向上，每个人物都有昂扬的精神内核。从头到尾都被深深吸引，看完觉得热血沸腾。
imdb 6.8
律师除了嘴炮担当好像也没有调查什么吧（调查文件不是警察给的吗)，这狠话放的让我莫名其妙。
这不如rrr叙事那么流畅，大陆观众看的是题材
题材非常棒，160多分钟里讨论了好多内容，虽然气氛有点刻意煽情，但真诚地努力和勇敢地发声就值得尊敬。啊…我们还在各种悬浮到奇葩的浪漫轻喜剧里奋勇挣扎，希望文化教育能早日跟上经济的步伐，无知傲慢的人终将自食恶果。
看到好几个电影的影子，但是看这个老头演戏就很舒服。
前半部分和后半部分完全是两个电影的感觉 前半部分以为只是就是个印度常见简单的js案 没想到从法庭部分开始峰回路转几重反转 真相令人震惊 比韩国人还敢拍 当印度都开始文化自信时…后面的话就不说了
好看是好看的，但是最后那个反转抛弃了这部电影最有价值的部分，程序正义和政治正确到底哪个更值得保护，沦陷到阴谋论里，就变得无趣了。多给一颗星，印度电影经常让我们汗颜。
近期的印度影片都在大力的说种姓问题 这是我很欣赏的 我们知道我们的问题出在哪里 但是我们不会隐藏 也不会打压 我们有让全世界都审视评判的勇气 可能改变不是一朝一夕就可以完成的事情 但是能拍能上这便是态度 总好过一味地宣传本国的优点更令人佩服 因为我一直在说 也许印度她们落后 他们有种种问题 但是他们却同样有着希望 有暗就必有光 这个国家的光也正在冉冉升起 本片延续了印度一贯的方式 个人觉得反转也是可以的 整体节奏虽有些凌乱 但全程也并不无聊 一些语句也是令人感到力量感的 政府以情绪煽动 民众只在乎宣泄的两点立意还蛮好的 还有那句 你做了什么 上帝都会回报给你的点也很妙
