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'.

有许多段都被强大的氛围渲染力给弄到哭红了眼眶，氛围感很强，很好看的一部电影。
国内肯定拍不出这样的电影。三鹿奶粉拍一下。
这种资本套名恰烂钱的片子就不要客气了好嘛！
大段煽情让影片节奏稀烂。悬疑全靠一惊一乍的配乐唬人，真相实在太容易猜中。医院中很多角色存在的意义仅仅是煽情或低级误导。下一部再这水准的话这IP也就烂了，虽然本片命名为《误杀2》这行为就挺蹭的……
其他就将个烂就吧
通过真实来演，不过我还是比较喜欢最后几段，演的比较好点。
对Sakura敢于挑战又要动脑又要走心的剧本表示佩服，太容易费力不讨好了，不过编剧吧，干什么是讨好的？反正都是要被骂的，早就有这种觉悟了。
这个案件是有了解过的，感觉电影刻画的各阵营都太纸片了
中国的官僚机构已经让揭露官僚机构贪污腐败的电影只能去国外拍了。
敢拍能发。配合各种魔幻事件为这件事本身能被拍成电影多给一星。
剧情逻辑槽多无口，小虫原本心脏就是成年人大小，还要移植一个大人的心脏去？市长儿子一个青少年真的可以用小虫要的小孩心脏？are you sure？
七颗星吧，这种真实事件改编的电影，往往能引起人们的共鸣，只是看演绎的怎么样了
还有男主真的很自信是被爆头，不怕人家射击心脏嘛？
Bug多到不知道从哪儿开始吐槽，被一个评论笑到“所以男主老婆是要自己还高利贷吗”
#电影院#肖央的好演技能不能别浪费在这种一而再再而三的翻拍片上了?陈🐶真的是个投机融梗达人，一招鲜吃遍天。
煽情的部分可以再少点。
Bug多到不知道从哪儿开始吐槽，被一个评论笑到“所以男主老婆是要自己还高利贷吗”
既然是翻拍的，为什么在央视上宣传的时候还说是全新故事？？？有这么恶心的么？ 后续：看过了之后觉得被陈思诚骗进去的，除了肖央演技以及反转还行以外，就给俩字，可耻。
不公不义刻画地轻描淡写，煽情倒是一大段，精准到每一秒的商业片套路，也把第一部的推理感和悬疑感丧失殆尽（虽然已经这么平庸了，还在苦口婆心地告诉观众记者的重要性，我就不多批评了
拥有800阅片量的肖央经过两年的不懈努力成功在第二部当上了编剧
