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'.

这种创作上的“轻易”扼杀了所有可能性，更是直接拉低了影片表达，不过也只有弗兰克这人能干得出来了，正如他长久以来执着于玩弄自己笔下的主人公一样。但有一说一弗兰克在景框调度上的执行力和他对于场景内部元素的整体把控能力还是蛮强的
到底是谁在套路谁，我认为男女主都有可能有预谋。
情节的编排上强助推压缩加速 所以两轮急冲由事件突变进而带到了人物突变 此时动机和符号不用提炼直接跃然眼前 因果链条也就明晰了 Neil 和妹妹侄辈的疏远 对待意外死亡的冷静 绵延强烈的基础欲望 遗产汲血的幻视和机体末期的顽疾 最后一镜也就是浮木一生
这俩人是搭伙了吗？俩片水准差不多，但这部第二个杀手表演太难看了，有点看不下去。
大女主剧，女主当然帅，但两个老猛男更帅，噼里啪啦一通打还是蛮精彩的，不过最后的反转似乎有点多余。
我的天，什么玩意？我可是全部看完，就这？结局呢？收尾呢？这样也算电影？浪费时间了！做个反转这片子就大不同了。女主真的不行。

开头还以为是局外人。还好比较短，不然我肯定不愿意看完。我就想说，弗兰克，不要设置一些他妈的plot twist。不知道是想表达absurdity of life还是什么，并没有达到这种效果。屠宰猪出现在房间里那一幕还不错，至少有视觉冲击力。我的夏洛特呀…
看完也好想去度假啊，好美好悠闲，一开始以为是夫妻俩然后还很生气这种行为，后来才知道是姐弟，那就一切ok了，自己选择自己舒服的人生过活，再后面应该是知道自己癌症了吧，这个日落虽美但让人悲伤，就感觉一切到头了，有点丧。
很好的选角哇，Tim Roth活脱脱一腹黑版Casey Affleck。没有后三十分钟的释疑的话可以给到两星。
有点旧西部片的影子，拘留所里来了几个狠家子，Sheriff 们很忙碌，谁是最后站立者的游戏。。。在充实和单薄之间徘徊的小制作
还行，用癌症和猪来比喻已经病入膏肓的白左英国犬儒，他们面对乱局无能为力，只会选择逃避，西方世界就是这样逐渐堕落了，第三世界的人民并不具备普世价值观，相反他们会输出自己的野蛮意识形态，所以片名会使用日落这个标题，这是对西方世界的一次巨大冲击，但我觉得日落的讽刺性不如新秩序，新秩序具有预言性质，但日落还只是陈述现有的发展状况
这打了草稿没打磨就开拍了。我其实觉得故事能写的更精彩一些，基于以下几个原因：
我丢你个嘴，男记者最后就这么算了？！算了？这个片在搞啥？告诉我们不要跟老男人作对吗？还是想带我们真切认识普信南？“我可以偷窥你奶子和内裤，可以强吻你，但是你不能告我性骚扰，不然杀你全家”？？？最后女主在搞什么？你直接给它一刀，它也保证害不到你妹，你还省下自己一条命，好吗亲？啊反正，远离普信南的人平均多活500年。
@ Film Center, PFF 30. 很克制。最后的医院场不知道是解释还是延续，如果理解为后者会更好一点。
我日日夜夜的贫穷与富足
这片子6.3是认真的吗？？太好看了，全程怀念我的墨西哥岁月。
嘻嘻嘻找错片但将错就错，演技平平，几处看得我走来走去，但把我抓去演想必我也差不多，想起八月末一个下雨天，joy divisionT恤出现了！
看评论，我觉得现在的观众，尤其是85后已经被反转片养刁了
咱就说，再开放的结局，他也该有个结局是吧…
