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'.

已经不指望提姆连森拍出什么花了，经典已老去，只剩好莱坞的流水线
还有，警察的的侦查力简直像是拿了剧本一样，什么事都看透了，但是电影里又没有展示足够的线索，这种异常的侦查力不符合现实。感觉编剧只是想着怎么把内幕展示给观众，所以用警察的嘴告诉观众内幕，并没有考虑警察可能会有这么强的侦查力吗？
卡司阵容强大 很有日系犯罪推理那味儿 整个小岛都是帮凶 唯独好兄弟不是 防火防盗防兄弟啊 岛民的固执与梦 都碎了
创意不错。很多冲突戏。就是拍得太差了。演技也不行。表演真的太浮夸了。
ダラダラしててちょっとテンポ悪かったかも😢
我还比较喜欢这种故事 有很多意外发生 结尾有点牵强 最后男主那一幕没看懂 不像监狱 带着手铐要去干嘛也不交代一下……另外片长没必要这么长 近几年日本的剧情片十有八九都超两小时 这不需要跟风吧
一个谎言就得由十个谎言来圆。黑木华就是来打酱油的
说明做错事第一时间承担责任，才是损失最小的。并非佳作，拍成一集世奇应该还可以，拍成电影就略显空洞无聊了，不过这阵容就说明要挂好多人😂，死神月加L加一十一……
作孽呀，无罪虽然不比95版的大部头，却也是纯酿了，沐浴更衣就给这个所谓的剧场版，钞能力也不是这样的吧
挺古典，挺套路，就后面友情这一点算是有些亮点
合格的流水线作品，剧情虽然老套，但是导演拍的还是抓人。
第一季总集篇，很自然地删去了最出彩的银行回，前半和后半有些割裂，失却了剧场动画应有的张弛。2020的记忆太过遥远，全新场景和重新调色已是看不出来了。还是觉得塔奇克马真可爱呢。
整体很不错的末世风格，杀手迟暮，最终自食其果，社会是有黑暗面的，但很多地方法律无法涉及。
这分完全都是给演员的，越来越喜欢藤原龙也的演技了，虽然都是小人物但是你就是无法从他身上移开眼睛，松山建一也是越来越稳重了，神木弟弟永远是青涩~喜欢
如果不是打着攻壳机动队的名头，我可能能给三星，别TM闲的没事一天天的毁经典了好么。
連恩尼遜這便當領的好讓人無語🙃（還我地表最強老爸😤
很有当下日影特征的一部犯罪片，悬疑只是幌子，实际说的还是经济衰退以及群体意识的悲剧，但最后收尾到并不意外的个人恩怨也转移了核心表达的方向，也就还好，不过藤原龙也的表演可以，国内鲜肉好好跟人家学学哭戏吧
攻壳机动队的大IP始终毁于日本人执念的3D化、以及数十年来一如既往令人作呕的「游戏化」视效，在前半部分似乎致敬经典后，故事居然又变成了讨论（特别）青少年的孤立和受霸凌此类的社会问题，可谓欺世盗名。
这部电影再一次向我们证明澳洲的生活实在是太太太太乏味了，没有手机、没有卡拉OK、没有各色酒局饭局赌局茶局，除了回家和女友发发脾气卷2根大麻慰济一下无聊的日子，也只有和几个同样无聊的不知所措的人说些莫名其妙的对白了，怪不得早年移民澳加的哥们如今各个都哭着喊着要回国效力，还是国内的花花世界吸引人啊。
营救哥，廉颇老矣！不过美哥墨的贩毒和贩卖儿童确实是人间毒瘤。
