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'.

不明白为何这种题材还要唱歌跳舞，每次男主出现的时候，后面的配乐总觉得在哪个好莱坞大片里出现过。
不仅是是印度的《辩护人》，正义律师为平民打抱不平的故事，而且也谈及了印度的种姓制度、男女不公、警察暴力、滥用职权等…如果一部电影能够改变一个国家，那他就有了现实意义，格局大了
根据真实故事改编，让人又相信了理想主义，虽然电影难免会用煽情和英雄弧光来表现这样的题材，但能被允许拍下来至少还不是毫无希望，同时能呼吁更多的人去关注少数族群被忽视的权益，故事难得还保证了推理的逻辑性，在追逐真相与公平的路上残酷现实暴露狰狞面容，所以法庭戏才会更显酣畅。
印度版《辩护人》，有关社会底层如何对抗体制，2小时40分钟，需要静下心看。
反思丑恶当然需要反思，赞颂伸张正义当然需要赞颂。不公一直存在，以后也不可能一劳永逸地被消灭，但是哪怕多一个坚持良心正义的律师、JC、法官或平民，这个世界就会好上哪怕千百万分之一，也可能，就是某个家庭的百分之百，甚至是百分之千千万。
以及青春是ai回答不了的问题。
3- 比起灵感出自东野圭吾的《较量》（《误杀》原版）可是差得远了，题材形式（且那歌词直白得恨不能掐死全人类的想象力）都不新鲜，故事或纪录哪边都不靠着。
有阳光的地方就有黑暗，但敢于直面黑暗，就是勇气，就是干净又卫生...
这就是好电影了吗？
满怀热情和希望，观影2小时40分钟，虽然有虐的部分，但结局很圆满，正义得到了伸张，朕心甚安。他们有不计报酬，只为正义而战的律师，有不出卖良心，秉公调查案件的警察，更重要的有公平执法的法官，何其幸运。据说这是一部真实事件背景的影片，禁不住琢磨，如果换一块土壤，结局还会是如此吗？
做一些无意义的事也是青春的一部分！热血到我了，爆哭
你想赢对吧？
别人95年的错误在21年出来承认了，我们66的错误却还只字不能提。 我们与恶的距离里面，替精神病杀人犯辩护和找原因，被吹上了天的王赦，在杰伊比姆面前，就像个刚学会走路的婴儿
印度人社会发展程度前现代，但文化跟随还是挺敏感，学会和美国人一样拍政治正确电影了。
很不错！是青春啊！番长好帅( ⁼̴̀ .̫ ⁼̴́ )✧
影片本身有瑕疵，但事实已经足够震撼人心了
这一次剧场版再一次讨论了教育问题 不仅仅是孩童 也是青春期的我们 只有笑着回忆那段时光才是有意义的 不要让现实教育深更在最有意义的时间里
能拍这样的片子，能够正视这样的问题，比…一些地方官僚司法体系强太多。
你在做什么啊？
感觉看现在的蜡笔小新剧场版 总有一种 cp感 小新和风间hmmm。
