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'.

故事结构挺不错的，就是细节差些，稍微有些劣质。
以为是恐怖片 没想到是人心 真的升米恩斗米仇 果然后面人心最可怕
国内这环境，拍成这水平实在不错了，三星加一星鼓励，希望国产恐怖片能再进一步
名字很拉胯，完全还原这部影片的亮点。拍摄很有创意，除了罗生门的感觉，还有点像《十二公民》，每个人眼里都有一种“真相”，但到底真相是什么？
从身体恐怖上升至身体艺术和身体政治，柯南伯格的想象力并没有倒退，反而随着急剧变化的环境与时代，演变出更深邃迷人的寓言。在构造严密的未来社会背景下，有着精准运行的叙事脉络，而诡异的人物与其复杂的行为动机具有暗涌流动的政治隐喻意味。处处留白的手法让传统的惊悚恐怖影迷失望而归，却令这个寓言故事瞬间敞开了丰富的解读空间，极端反常却引人入胜。
9.2 A extremely dangerous method，当然是柯南堡创作生涯的新高度，以如此低密度的情节拍这样一部关于人类进化的环保寓言注定是毁誉参半的，关键在于它触及了之前从未深入的问题，及身体异变如何作为内在的核心而非表层的意向，结尾真美。
人类的器官还有消化系统的进化，不知道好是坏，还有手术切割也能变得很亢奋吗？🤔
各方利益的纠葛，故事大部分都是用台词来推动，这么有趣的题材视觉上太弱了，显得有些无趣甚至枯燥了。
这是在咱们这 必须给五星 各种瑕疵不说 就这份心 导演继续 兴安岭猎人就很不错 要是下部戏上院线 我一定贡献电影票
感官刺激是表象，艺术概念是形式，政治喻言才是核心。影片前半段用一场艺术概念秀，来展现行为艺术家索尔·滕泽对身体的掌控，同时也展现了人们对掌控身体的痴迷：当身体有痛觉时，我们用抚摸捆绑抽打来寻求刺激，当身体不再有痛觉后，我们用切割器官来制造快感，折腾身体是人类通往高潮的唯一途径。后半段则是政治喻言，身体即政治，政治即控制，个体通过顺应器官来掌控身体，资本通过收割器官来掌控身体，政府通过注册器官来掌控身体，谁掌控了身体，谁就掌控了进化的定义权，三方势力看似暗流涌动，但如同行为艺术家在结尾处做出的选择一样，实际上个体始终处于主导地位。
线索扎得不够紧 中后段就散乱了 还有精致的现代妆容之类的眼下通病 村里说「来来来 我告诉你啊 这事儿啊是这么回事儿」的片段从台词到表演都刺耳刺眼地业余 好在用作消磨时间还挺不错
真的还可以，没有为走近科学而走近科学的感觉，所有事件都有联系。题材应该属于悬疑，和恐怖可以说没有一毛钱关系。希望最后评分能及格。
讲真比院线那些子上映的国产电影好多了，3.5星，送半颗星激励下，小成本也可以拍好的
除了“根本没有狐仙”的设定有意思以外什么都不行，每个情节都设计得用力过猛，极不自然，演员也是一样。
好吧，看完还是不免产生了“就这”的观感……如果说昨天看的《变蝇人》还有令人惊掉下巴的观影体验的话，那这部显然只有概念化的意象指涉了，我也是看得面无表情，甚至边看边啃完了一袋鸭脖。借助疼痛感，表现某种新的对于性高潮的呈现，同时利用身体-意识的反向联结，完成一出所谓艺术化的、反叛的、身体政治寓言。但可惜的是，让人更多的感觉到这个影片只有这些点子，并没有透过这些概念抛出更多的表达了。所以，预告片看得我多激动，成片看得我就有多乏味，因为，基本上所有的感官刺激都在预告里了。
善恶终有报，人心换人心。国产片能拍成这样罗生门还是不错了。
对器官的内在美学痴迷是《孽扣》的衍生视角，而人类对痛觉的追求则是《大都会》中存在主义的再次升级，柯能堡总想把人类自身不可避免的虚无感和失落感以一种特殊景观或者猎奇姿态呈现，但效果总是差强人意。内在美的对立面是内在丑，幼儿的解剖现场恰恰证实这一点，所谓的内在器官艺术不过是自我美化的手段，失去痛觉已经成为新世纪的原罪，切割，钻孔，缝合，肚子上的拉链，甚至给人体器官举办选美大赛，一切荒谬的奇观都是白费力气，对自我存在的探讨远不如《大都会》加长礼车那种封闭感和窒息感来的有效。剧本是过时的剧本，道具还是《感官游戏》那种硅胶质感，手术操作台是一个五彩斑斓的小黑肉团子，这都多少年了，柯能堡还来这一套，有点絮叨。美博会也不是什么新概念，人类已经改造身体好多年了，医美整形往外抽往里塞，痛不是原罪，美才是原罪。
挺好的，模仿罗生门的结构，多视角叙事，有其结尾彩蛋，剧本确实用心了。看到好多人说电影劣质感，抱歉我真没觉得，我感觉灯光舞美道具美术创造的氛围感足够了，很明显八九十年代老港片美术风格的特征，这是一套视觉风格而不是劣质，镜头语言也不是简单的正反打大特写，有一幕从篝火延伸的视角用的很妙。一部网大做成这样很不错了，奇树有鱼可以的。
故事结构挺不错的，就是细节差些，稍微有些劣质。
狐狸版聊斋志异，在审查下面扭秧歌。可以，合格。
