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'.

女性对体制的呐喊，题材完胜，要为男性导演点个赞，片子不能说好看，节奏在印度片里算很紧凑了，但看完最后那句字幕，相信大家都会反思一会，这就是好片。
要么是看此类电影少，要么是看印度电影少！电影本身只能是中规中矩以上~7分
影片结束后的那三行字幕就像一把尖刀一样一下子扎进心里
影片的立意很好，就是拍摄手法和《迫在眉梢》太相似了。。。
那就离刑事立法不远了吧
【印度】能够想到（或是不惊奇）的设计——在类型感十足的外衣里，包裹社会议题的内壳；小孩子也必然不会受到伤害，而是仅指向一个更大的目的与更“理想化”的结果。但它能够最大可能帮助观众粘连在它的进程里，女主角的表演同样从冷漠、疯狂再到心死，所跨越的层次也印象深刻；两部分足够有效并保持到了最后。 银幕里的喊话固然激励人心，但现实依然冰冷却艰难；这般反差所带来的遗憾与唏嘘，或许远远胜于故事本身。
很少看印度电影，主要是怕看动不动就跳舞唱歌。这部电影还不错，说实话，女主演的挺好，就是不明白为什么用这样的方法复仇。如果少一些幼儿园部分，多点她复仇的准备可能更刺激一点吧。
聚焦印度女性权益，整部电影还是比较普通，一惊一乍的bgm和突然的特写显得非常土，女主未婚夫的表演也很不合理，电影立意很有实际意义，但似乎力弱声微，还没有振聋发聩，因为印度的女性人权问题严重而复杂仅凭最后的两行字完全不够。
感谢中国共产党我国是不发达国家最早实现男女平等的国家。
主要是想借电影为印度女性发声，不公是人造成的，也是社会造成的。最触动人的其实是片尾字幕，是这部电影的成功同样也是不成功之处。故事问题还是挺多的，不管怎么说还是让我共情了
当一名幼儿园老师——亚米·高塔姆绑架了 16 名小学生并提出一系列要求时，不仅震撼了孟买警察和城市，而且在全国及其政界人士中引起了反响。
这电影能看到国内外进几年好多同类型作品的影子，远到《3年A班》《沉默的真相》近到《开端》《新蝙蝠侠》……
印度电影常常有种压抑了太久太久后喷薄而出的愤怒。可能没有哪个国家会像印度这样追求平等而苦苦不得的国家吧。追求平等会是个漫长的过程，漫长到有时候你会觉得呐喊并无意义。
不算是悬疑剧，但能算是揭露印度国家现实的人性剧！哪怕剧情比较老套，可过程依旧精彩！就像我曾经说过的：啥时候印度电影没有唱歌跳舞了，那绝对会比国产电影好看！总评：7.9分！3星半！
星期四 有一种netflix初进印度的惊艳，如果不说印地语，几乎想不到是印度电影。这次是Disney+，因为这些年netflix印度也不可免俗的跳起了歌舞，和宝莱坞拼流量了。
7⃣️就是字幕翻译得差了点儿。不知道会不会扩充为海外华人电影序列中的又一力作？
请国内之前叫好的同类型电影误S2学习一下如何不做作的让一个被逼上绝路的人为正义劫持。同时学习一下公众与媒体在面对这些时如何不做作的煽情。若是能再从电影立意上再深入一些，就更好一些，当然这事也不能奢望，毕竟一个拍电影的，说了不算。但也有药神这个例外的出现。
并不是女权，而是基本的正义和公理！影片最后借报纸说出“印度醒来的星期四”这样理想主义的标题时，我们该用怎样的内容去反哺被社会扎得千疮百孔的人们与和谐美好的社会呢？有的电影可以用逻辑、理论来侃侃而谈，有的拍出来就是一种胜利。
和误杀2类似 但是立意和动机都比误杀2好多了。 当然误杀2也是翻拍迫在眉梢 所以建议陈思诚买下这部版权 加上之前的较量的版权 一年一部 做成误杀宇宙
