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'.

但我还是抱有一丝期望
以主人公视角，完全没有预期的案件追踪很有真实惊悚感，最后有点仓促。
黑色政治惊悚中开出美丽的风信子之花，尽管雨打风吹满地飘零，仍在那一片灰暗中留下了抹不去的颜色。“这里永远都不会改变。”“他们憎恨幸福的同胞。”“不能害怕自由。”
但我还是看完了，为什么要折磨自己
案情交代的不算很清晰，但是能看懂。男主和男二的颜值可以说很配。
“做人不能什么都害怕，尤其在为了自由时~” 片长不是112分钟嚒？
波兰片极少看，这部意外的不错👍节奏很好，有肉有色，诚意满满，男主的长睫毛真的很有feel，在宗教信仰普及的国家，cool确实很难，相交之下倒是天朝更宽容——最多腹诽，哪里有拳打脚踢直接暴力的？3星
然后跟男生发生关系后，楼顶就飞过两只鸟，同时起飞，方向却不一样了
少数人的爱恋 不管有没有经历非正常的招募 就算真情所至 也不被人接受 不管是二十世纪八十年代还是现在
老亨利，原来是比利小子的猜想版，挺不错的一部片子，虽然没啥情节，主要就是讲述了曾经的比利小子怎么退隐江湖了，再战江湖，结尾的乡村音乐不错！

一个小时了, 才短暂的见过arek在日光下的脸
“快逃，我会找到你的”这不是结局，这是另一个开始。
男主有丢丢像精灵王子 男二真是充满活力帅气十足
算是传统黑暗反体制的类型片了 互相欺骗也来不及互相拯救了 我会去找你的结尾 就像在说 算了 下一次吧
最感人的还是那段艾瑞克被抓到警察局里面，小胡子审他的时候 。
导演和演技都不咋行，编剧倒是有点东西啊，晋江有房吧（狗头。可惜结尾节奏也崩了。讲政治讲得太浅啦，真就网文水平。
剧情没怎么搞懂，幕后黑手是男主爸爸的上司吗，就是最后给他颁奖的那个?所以就要随便找一个替死鬼，而且要杀光在录像带里面的人，因为怕暴露身份吗?
第一次看Netflix拍这种沉重题材的影片，出乎意料地完成度很高。里面有一句台词大致意思是波兰人最喜欢害波兰人，转念一想，某地又何尝不是如此呢？
其实情节有很多缺陷，但导演从头到尾都很克制，家庭、悬疑、爱情三条线戛然而止，没有抱着讲大道理或是为什么发声的野心，偶尔从周围人身上会有一两句简单但很真诚的话，结尾有些怅惘又有些庆幸，像是楚门走出了摄像机。btw摸小胡子啥的很萌~
