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'.

1977年芝加哥卡布里尼-格林区贫民窟，男孩威廉·伯克去洗衣房洗衣，遇到破墙洞里走出一带铁钩手臂的好心糖果人谢尔曼·菲尔兹，谢尔曼时常卖糖果，直到有小孩发现糖果里有刀片而被警方通缉。抽象画家安东尼与女友布丽安娜搬进新公寓，女友的弟弟特洛伊来家拜访并讲了该地贫民窟流传的海伦的恐怖故事。安东尼进入贫民窟查看，遇到成年的威廉，他说海伦是寻找糖果人谢尔曼·菲尔兹的女人，并说出当年无辜的谢尔曼被警方害死的事，谢尔曼死后，更多的刀片出现在糖果里；又流传传说对着镜子说5次糖果人他就会出现并杀死你。艺术经销商克莱夫办完安东尼的画展后在镜子前与女友杰里卡做爱并说了5次糖果人，随即被铁钩杀死。
前面只是一般俗，最后把安东尼献祭召唤糖果人让我有点迷惑，风格类型都转变了吧？
很喜欢结局 糖果人绕车的那段自述，车上的倒影配合台词，很好👌🏻
要说缺点，其实也有，但无法避免，如果没人敢照着念名字那就无法拍下去了，问题还是在William Burke为什么执意要抓住Anthony McCoy，为什么追杀Brianna Cartwright，没弄明白，我很喜欢影片的艺术感，镜头还有氛围，令大部分人失望的原因是因为不恐怖，剧本设计了许多杀人的桥段，而Anthony的主线故事描述的不够多，虽然我很喜欢前面的剧情，为了多点后面寻找答案的过程到如何转变可以删减，结束比较仓
观看本片的最佳姿势是不要有任何恐怖的心理期待，要当作一部文艺片，而文艺片的三连问通常是：我是谁？我需要什么？值得我不顾一切代价吗？而三个问题又通常会直击身份政治，比如，我是什么样的种族，我的种族遭遇了什么磨难，我如何被牵连、如何被歧视？我可以自由追求我的爱情吗？社会对我有所善待吗？如果我认为社会对我的评价很不公平，反抗机制是健全的吗？如果不健全，我可以用私刑来行使我内心的正义吗？除了杀戮，我还可以有别的表达自我的方式吗？艺术可以拯救我？还是另一种话语宰制，其结果是艺术表达会被我的肤色所限制？结合都市传说、废墟探险、真假鬼故事、拥有一套金色倒钩的黑人死神等各种故事原型，其实本质上拍的还是身份政治，大致是黑人应该有自己的恐怖故事。用义很好，但真的对此类恐怖可以免疫，当作文艺片会比较不容易失望。
一部政治运动下简单空洞的时令之作，口号型电影。Contre-stéréotypes的运用并不巧妙，用白人资产阶级的标准像完整套在黑人角色身上来强调“从贫民窟到高级公寓，境遇并无变化”，魔法打败魔法这种简单粗暴的形式显得太笨拙了，叙事也太零散破碎不吸引人，只有美术设计还不错。也只能在这个时代获得政治正确式的好评。
去您吗的吧，巧克力糖果人literally？维吉妮娅救出的孩子长大后的故事
非常绝望的表述。族裔问题无法解决，于是要化作怨灵对白人进行无差别屠戮。
作为一部惊悚电影，除了既不惊悚也不电影之外，其他都还可以。
恕我段位不够，欣赏不来…有几个吓人的点和笑点还凑合。劝大家在看这部之前先去补习一下1992年版本，这部更像是个续集。
恐怖片加上社会现实问题显的给外出戏，恐怖元素没有加了一大堆血浆凑数，欧美恐怖片新类型“政治正确恐怖片”
想法是有力的，可是拍出来感觉粗糙和粗暴。Jordan Peele和Asian应该是得有那么点欲说还休的beef 。
少了原版的一些特点，但也增加了一些之前原版没有的
恐怖的candyman在种族歧视面前也成了唯一的守护者。唯一的bug就是男主身上的蜇伤和烫伤是怎么蔓延开的。还有candyman到底是shaman 还是巫师？很多细节都没有交代清楚
（说实话艺术表达就不可能纯粹不含任何观点和想法的啊，政治诉求也是一种观点啊，它和人生观之类的也都是所要表达的东西啊。可以喜欢方式不喜欢观点，但要允许表达呀。）
皮肤溃烂记得及时看医生，借着种族歧视的皮子还讲不好故事，建议跟着学校白痴女一起对着镜子喊五次candyman。
新版的《糖果人》几乎成了一部纯黑人电影，还是那种中产阶级精英众生相（其实他们也不怎么看得起低端人口）。
喊五遍candy man，一个黑人来杀人。
对美国社会矛盾的尖锐展现，集体恐惧的具像化相当有意思，但最后高潮感觉有点拉胯……黑人的经历确实像恐怖片，从某种程度上，女性也是如此
美国社会需要一位Candyman。
