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'.

比预想的好。别的不谈，余皑磊那一小段给人的感觉很震撼。
缺点吧，有的表演浮夸，有的剧情失调，甚至有在不该放笑料的地方放笑料。而优点是电影梗，对娱乐圈的讽刺和已经不能算是暗喻、暗示，顶多只能算是以目的内容。联想到近期的一些事情，更是出奇的现实主义。就电影里所说，观众往往会做出比作者更深刻的解读这点，有的豆友做到了。最后，苏梦蝶的人物形象是近期看过的最好的女性形象，比那些要靠暴力来刷存在感的假大女主形象强多了。7
整部片子的观赏性很足，导演、过气女明星、罪犯、制片的选角太好了，记者（编剧）中规中矩，过气男明星、武术指导、警察这三个角色有点不伦不类
ps：
看完这电影，我只想到了两个人，一个人是毛主席，另一个人是切格瓦拉。

情节老套没什么惊喜，但讲故事的水平不错没有太明显的bug，值得进电影院一看。
配角演技盖过主角
给个三星半吧，虽然很剧本杀，虽然很报告老板之嫌疑人X的献身，但意外的观感还不错，人物和剧情推进都满自然的，做轻松愉快看片的类型我觉得完全ok。而且这竟然是最近我看的最有说服力的感情戏也是万万没有想到。
万合天宜，再加上同福客栈，爱情公寓和德云社的加持，真的是太棒了！
简言之，大型“桌游”沉浸式密室逃脱剧本杀；融入新消费场景的“玩法儿”，尽显影片开发创意初衷，当然亦有投机之嫌；复合类型的杂糅之下，是悬疑，也是一个被隐藏的爱情故事；过度情节剧式的结尾，与故意人为拔高的设定——那位“编剧”临近时并没有叫她回头，显得有些俗套和低级；但好看爽感在于，推理过程也把观众吸纳进了这场沉浸式“剧本杀”，玩起推理游戏，这种强互动感和沉浸感，增添了影片娱乐属性；而开场有关“电影项目开发剧本会”的场景设定，及一系列“元电影”的元素融合，某种程度上，构成了虚构影像(即电影本身)的解构，创作团队对电影本体论的自觉，让他们把这种类似“电影是如何诞生的”的过程，拿到了台面上“解剖”，编剧约等于侦探？对细节的质疑和必究，亦是需要警惕经验陷阱的创作方法论；
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
可以看出剧组对剧本的打磨还是下了功夫，各种细节铺垫，各种迷影情结，各种套路反转，各种隐喻讽刺，歌舞繁华的背后隐藏的罪恶的真相到底是什么，小人物舍生保卫的真相又是什么，历史上这种事件太多太多，不忍细看。
英文片尾曲是爵士乐灵魂人物爵士乐大师路易斯阿姆斯特朗的《What A Wonderful World》。之前在罗宾威廉姆斯的《早安越南》里也曾出现过。大家也可以听一下麦可布雷的版本，就是很适合在家里跟爱人跳舞的那种曲子
有没有那么很好那另说，总之还挺有意思的，有刻意的地方但也是有亮点的！
这剧本真不是设定在当代的拍不了就改民国？没有为时代背景做任何尝试啊。
片尾那张黑白照片让我想起当年和团队一起参加电影节也都会拍一张剧照风的合影，真是怀念那~ 另外，作为一部在老家民国城拍的电影，再给一颗星~
去之前不知道韩寒是监制，看了觉得还是那种感觉，就是到处的在抖机灵，一直都搞不清楚，到底是搞笑还是悬疑
立意先行也值得四星。諷刺電影業諷刺審查諷刺現實，觀影時總是會聯想多一點。其實也無所謂是否有意為之，解讀是觀影人的事情。
多年前，一群愤青说中国的很多东西都是txt，没有exe～这么多年过去了，也许还是这群人，身体力行的来告诉你，怎么把电影也特么做成txt～以前的描述都说人物平面化标签化，此后可以多一个词：卡牌化～玩剧本杀上瘾的人也许会给高分吧～不过这玩意拍成综艺多好啊，何必叫电影呢～这是侮辱谁呢～情节推进特别慢，全靠对白来进行的戏，还老接不上～封闭场景的镜头调度太差，那么多经典不能学学吗？几个演员的能力也太参差了，能认识到自己是花瓶也算自知之明啊～有人说结尾有反转，又呵呵了，你就算是在屎💩尖上放个樱桃，它还是难下嘴啊～纯粹是文本自嗨～字幕里真的打的是“墨迹”我也是服了～有些人离懂电影还有很远的距离～哦，老秦挂了，你开不开心？
