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'.

杰西卡的表演配得上女主！加菲演技真的是完了，表演痕迹太明显了！尤其是需要爆发力的时候，总觉得没有力量！剧情呢，没啥好不好的，真人真事改编，能看的就看进去了，不爱看的怎么说也不能爱看！
其他无感。
宗教型电影，不是题材，而是影片融入的所谓“搞笑”元素吧，显得有些不严肃……不懂或者说不明白这个形式。
不知是化妆特效还是刻意为之，里边的假面和伪善看起来真是相由心生啊
女导演首部长片已经非常出色了，通过镜头调度、光线调节、稳定的节奏、不通的语言、密闭空间的延展等手段把惊悚恐惧的情节一步步推向高潮最后戛然而止。是直觉感极强的女性的胜利，在没有人理解女人的时候只有女人拿起枪自保。个人很喜欢这部电影，虽然剧情并不出色，但在营造氛围上很让人着迷。
东欧没有连环杀手。shudder原创剧，全程布加勒斯特取景，语言屏障也为空气中的恐男因子增加了几分浓度。拳法越精进，杀伤力越大，就越草木皆兵，人人自危，到最后也只能接受与“不确定性共存”了。
女主挺美，老公不信她是最致命的，一点悬念都没有的惊悚片，心理恐惧处理的挺好，没有特别恐怖但一直提心吊胆的那种感觉
有时，欲望会改变你的初衷，滑向反面而不自知。二人创建的福音媒体不但成为自己敛财和穷奢极侈的工具，且一脚踏入里根、老布什时代的选举政治。东山再起之时，应该是洗尽铅华，真心皈依基督了吧。
无比工整且无趣的奥系片，大概也只有在颁奖季才让人有想看的欲望。劳模的表演很出彩，情绪把控非常精准，但在这种除了冲奥毫无意义的电影里也无法更进一步带来惊喜。
这部还可以啊，属于放下电影就要百度百科历史的片子。学了点知识的那种。毕竟了解一个国家一段历史的横向剖面还是需要靠电影呢。
劳模姐演技太可了。另外电影最后要是没那么政治正确整体也许会好一些
casting和化妆做到了极致，两位主演功不可没，虽然这部杰西卡亮点更多，但加菲尔德的角色塑造能力太强了，今年两大如此不同的人物。
2.5 结局反杀很牵强 让男主自己进门发现地上还能救一下的女主情感冲击力会更强
好好看！！！好刺激！！！希区柯克式电影！看似故事简单，编导却将悬念保持到最后，节奏感和摄影都大大则强烈电影的惊悚感！！！
为上帝工作，就有无尽的权力与金钱，古往今来皆是如此……这是借口还是考验……
片子对于中国人来说真的有点水土不服。劳模姐这次冲奥成功，大概学院真的超爱这种LGBT的传记电影，另外大概就是竞争对手太拉胯。电影从两个信教的年轻男女开始讲起，他们乘上70年代美国电视业爆发的东风，干起了电视传教募捐的工作，自信的加菲说，我们赞美主电视网2000万观众，远超其他媒体。就这样从发迹，到奋斗，到膨胀，最后被陷害入狱，可以说流水账一样记述了这么个故事。至于说塔米菲的眼妆为什么越来越重，故事背后的隐藏线索过于简单，甚至是她怎么精神发生转变，怎么从家庭和工作地位中的配角，翻身成为引领新风向的先锋，也没看出来。大概一个保守的虔诚信教者，转身成为LGBT的叛逆者，加州学院就喜欢这种类似风尘女子从良的故事？？至于这个转变，难道是从嗑药开始的？？？那么中国观众就别跟着参乎了。
这个片子，唯一做的好的地方，只有它对于沟通失效这一层的刻画。女子由于语言不通进入到一个陌生的环境，跟丈夫的感情也陷入到一种失衡的关系中。我下载的这一版资源，所有的罗马尼亚语恰好都没有翻译字幕，所以观众被迫着和女主角一起，陷入到一种孤立的、不安的、未知的，乃至被冒犯的境地当中，某种程度上也更能理解女主所经历的内心感受。但除此之外，无论是影片的氛围营造，还是主旨立意，乃至最后的情节反转，都建立得非常草率和勉强，整体还是非常无聊的，人物塑造也显得非常单薄。
关于西方宗教，不加以评论！但是我真一点也不喜欢这俩人！
奥斯卡女主片。演技的确不错。注意到了框中框、镜子、界线的运用。
PS：加菲接班老汤指日可待
