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'.

90分的预期看完后最多80分。是枝裕和还是是枝裕和，裴斗娜的演技好绝，IU的演技也在我预期之上。前1个多小时过于平淡了，我旁边的老奶奶看睡着了(我能注意到旁边人在睡觉也是能说明电影是平淡的)后面有几个镜头特别喜欢，有几个地方的台词确实有让我很想哭，就比如那 好几句「生まれてきてくれて、ありがとう」
乏味至极。
宋康昊的很多电影要比这个更值得拿奖吧？不知道评委们怎么想的。
最后一幕的长镜头，我的心随着母亲的表情一同起伏。影后级别的表演。
重新有动力 跑得动
3.5分 前半段悬念很足 后半段救人开始节奏拉垮 很多人物转变没有张力 丹麦语发音听着实在难受 果然还是我不习惯北欧风格吗 盟军不作为正面形象出现好评 弱国对于发生在自己国土上的战争也无能为力
先是误伤一辆车子，后来误伤一整个学校，但调查人员也只能说“下次要小心”。对于意外确实没话好说，只能把帐记到战争发起者头上吧。
与其说这部电影是恐怖片，其实我觉得其实偏悬疑吧，恐怖的氛围是有的，但是导演并没有采用视觉上的惊吓，而是先用前面的剧情让观众对两个小主角产生好感，再趁热打铁，让刚被关进地下室的小男主与恶棍斗智斗勇，这么一个可怜的小帅哥被恶棍关到地下室，你会不他的命运揪心吗？导演正是利用这一点，来对观众造成心理上的冲击。不得不说，斯科特导演确实把观众们的心理玩明白了呀，一亿美元的成绩理所应当。不过缺点我也不得不批评。构图差，配乐差，不能给观众带来视觉效果；小女孩的特殊能力影片没给出解答；剧情实在是太快了，有时让人摸不着头脑，虽然剧本非常一般，但小男孩和霍克的表演深深地强化了影片表达效果，小女孩的演技有待加强哦。这种以小孩子为视角的80’恐怖片永远是我的最爱
片尾的长镜头使人能够想到小女孩喝粥的宿命结尾。
后半段情绪像洪水一样倾斜，演员表现力太强了
妹妹和哥哥一比就知道法师虽然漂亮，输出还得靠物理系
受害者电话所勾勒出的人际关系和幽暗封闭的地下室产生了一种别样的氛围，是成长的烦恼变种，其他方面一般般
本来期待是悬疑惊悚片，没想到温馨的一塌糊涂。怀疑对人贩子有洗白的嫌疑。

是是枝裕和但又不是，没有水土不服但却有，所以童话就是结局。
近乎真实还原了英军误炸法语女校事件，战争的残酷与惨烈，多处令人窒息。炸弹、女童、鲜血，还有上帝的假寐。
我只知道二战期间，丹麦国王没有做任何抵抗就宣布投降，以此在最大程度上保护自己的国民；却不知道在二战即将结束之时，以正义的名义，一场悲惨的屠杀却夺去了123个无辜者的生命，其中有87个是天真懵懂的孩子。
儿童视角下的反战电影，最后长镜头下的奔跑让人泪目，是满怀期待到喜极而泣再到最后的如负释重！
我们有祂们所说的傲慢、嫉妒、暴怒、懒惰、贪婪、暴食和色欲
一部根据真实历史事件改编的电影，能拍得如此失败，也真是少见。二战结束时，英军的误炸，导致近百人死亡，大多是孩子。如此事件，客观地平铺直叙，也会拍得让人震惊。该片导演却无谓地给故事增添了不少东西，视角又不断地转移，还一味地煽情，影片的叙事弄得乱糟糟的。如无必要，勿增实体。此片导演还真需要认真思考一下奥卡姆剃刀的原理。
