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'.

视效大片，也是扣人心弦的“骗中骗”迷局。库珀和大魔王的对手戏好看到爆，而鲁妮·玛拉居然又演了一回“小白兔”。陀螺的克苏鲁美学再度上演，一众极具特色的服化道设计，不仅颇为吸睛，而且也营造出令人回味无穷的悬疑感。
感觉配乐换了个风格啊，真的赞，之前的配乐没有Rap还有女声，感觉女声让整个乐曲更加epic了甚至（不针对性别）
起初以为陀螺终于改“邪”归正，老老实实拍现实惊悚了，结果上来就是一个钟头高强度马戏团畸形秀，捏马！怀旧质感这一块儿和《SOHO区惊魂夜》大同小异，除了越来越讨厌的凯特布兰切特以外，所有影像表演都还蛮四平八稳的，拍到最后跟两性关系犯罪啥的都没关系，还是大男孩对一去不返时代的怀旧
摄影美术优秀，美术奖摄影奖都能和沙丘一战，低角度广角摄影的变形成为了一种叙事元素，而美感丰富，光线品质也极高。可惜在于叙事节奏失控，第一幕撑了近一个小时，连布兰切特都没出现……难以称之为优秀作品。所以全片的噩梦指的就是马戏团骗术这个供人消遣的行当，当它想染指现实时定会被打回原形……背后的主线仍然是主角的阶级跃升之路，可剧作未恰当地强化，否则可以更符合当代审美，更好。总之，文本被悬置，装修很拉风。
中间的悉尼大赛真的看的人热血沸腾。日常也好细腻，打动人心。就是最后一下给我整蒙了，遥这是人格分裂？
是非常老派的故事，可能和大家的预期不一样，布莱德利和凯特布兰切特的对手戏没有多少，这剧情也不太有明显的高潮，但是我挺喜欢的，跟原版一样讲宿命论，讲人生的起起落落，比原片还多了弑父的原罪、从一开始就交代了geek一直到最后轮回呼应，改掉了当初为了上映弄出来的画蛇添足大团圆结局
本可以拍成一个女性复仇的爽片，却硬要拍成“乡下人的悲歌”，不得不感叹：大导演就是有特权。
没看过老版的情况下，观感很好，库伯演习越来越厉害了。
最初马戏团的无聊的情节对比去了大城市刺激的情节 看到结局才发觉马戏团才是最美好的时光 美术也是马戏团部分做得最好 大城市的部分奢华又空洞
就很傻 很漫长 laughable 看起来辗转反侧这个那个的 然鹅我只是觉得突兀又做作 看得好尴尬，然后payback看起来是好像挺厉害让人深思的，然而我的耐心已经被折腾完了，一落幕就迫不及待的离场了，坚持到了最后结束只是替自己不值得，一秒也不想多浪费了，还没有crimson peak好笑
6.8/10 关于狂欢节，关于马戏团，关于那些惊奇诡异的体验，也正是关于电影曾最本质的视觉吸引力：无数奇观的反复交叠。但无论是叙事节奏，还是与大时代背景的结合（二战宛如不存在的底噪，毫无与剧情的实质互动），还是转场（黑屏的淡入淡出时常显得突兀），或是男主的创伤背景（拖沓到结尾的潦草插叙），都有着或多或少的硬伤，以至于无数Film Noir的技艺和奇观的堆积都未能够转化成统一的氛围，也就在情感上泄了几分气力。前半段在过量向观众展示那些古早的“科学的”戏法之后，突如其来的“两年后”的转换让后部分在视听上都稍显疲软，一时无法适应。许多可被进一步刻画的恋物般的物件都沦为简单地服务于结构的工具，并未能蕴含属于自己的符号意义，最后也只能是走马观花。
美术和氛围感一如既往地好 但或许德托罗想要拍这样的故事 他需要一个克里斯托弗诺兰或乔纳森诺兰来搞编剧
期待一下后传
一场银幕怪物秀，我不说不好，是因为我没花钱。6
内心已毫无波动，安定地看京阿尼如何各家cp轮流发糖就完事了。
总之剧情有些狗血有蛮搞笑期待明年4月的后篇！
看完有段时间了，但是还得当时看完后脑子里的第一反应：不愧是你啊陀螺。
日番也是越出越神棍了 故事已经很有网王后期的神韵了 人物的头肩比真的还算是正常吗
总体还不错，但最后的“黑化”吵架真的很莫名其妙，无语子。
观赏性很强的院线片。画面、音乐和服装都很美，有着浓重的宿命感和悲剧感。骗中骗的结构，以弱胜强又和《犬之力》不谋而合。男人们自以为掌握了一切，结果还是被女人abandoned, haunted and executed。男主原本是可以成为福尔摩斯那样的人哪！
