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'.

总体来说三部曲观感是2-1-3，相信绝大多数人也会这么想，第一部的扔出来玩玩，第二部的全心投入，到最后的需要一个结束
视觉上有点像昆池岩 整个没什么逻辑 有点故弄玄虚
乏善可陈。为啥标签会出现伪纪录片？是那三个傻逼套路大学生嘛？
太暗很多場景會顯得很模糊，倒敘手法，原來男主都是那個死掉的人。
恶俗却没有太多不适感、宫藤官九郎尺度把握的不错
韩国恐怖片《鬼门》看预告片和片名还是挺唬人的，正片就…简单的说就是…乱！（剪辑凌乱、故弄玄虚）画面处理的也是…真够暗的！全片看下来就给人这种感觉，基本故事完全没有讲好！本来可以简单讲清楚的故事（发生过多起命案地方，多重人格鬼，三名来此探险的大学生，为了母亲而来此的男主…）非弄的这么复杂…还玩起了时空重叠！惊悚和恐怖的程度在我看来也是…一惊一乍的，完全没有什么新意！最后的结局也是不了了事，根本没有把事情解决，就这样结束了？！怎么…最后都被困在了鬼门里面出不来了？！唉…我也是无语了！韩国恐怖片，真的也是良莠不齐啊！好的很好，烂的就…真够烂的了！豆瓣5.1分…实至名归啊！
睡过去两回，现在想看个不太催眠的恐怖片怎么那么难。
好夸张………之前的都没看过但是呢故事也看懂了~~只能说真的豁出去了啊！！
4.6/10 当把一个复杂至一定程度的作品, 交给一个不会叙述故事的人, 其结果就如本作。 多线并行加上时空间穿梭的故事, 在毫无章法且缺乏条理的叙事下, 混乱不堪同时也难以理解。 缺乏一致性的行动让所有角色如出一辙, 好似全部具有多重人格。 叙事的不力更严重加深本片的不快感, 不适感以及混沌感。 老式的惊吓手法对于类型发烧友而言毫不奏效, 反而让影片更显拖沓笨拙。 然而不幸中的万幸, 在于对为数不多的几样道具尚且有效的利用, 以及场景搭建和氛围营造的些许亮点。 此外在特殊影厅, 依靠三面环绕荧幕以及动感座椅的加持, 为影片添加了更多趣味。
可以说21年最好看的恐怖片之一了。。。确实有点吓人，但又有烧脑的要素，推荐~
前面还行，后面要素太多整个拉垮掉。以及，用光线不足的场景试图营造惊悚氛围比jump scare还无脑且让人烦。

哪 里 吓 人 就会乌漆嘛黑的张牙舞爪瞎比划
致敬了《杀死比尔》等经典作品。没有想到居然是三池崇史的作品。不血腥不暴力但是重口味。
有点恐怖，气氛烘托还可以，但剧情、逻辑真的是好乱。也没什么新意。全程黑乎乎的，看的人好累啊！
2星半的电影，勉勉强强给到3，主要还是方中信有这个能力撑起来。
不如昆池岩
本子应该是个好本子，程序正义和结果正义哪个重要？但怎么最后拍出来是这个样呢...
香港可能拍职业片已经不用动脑子了，所有人都是一副“上工”的感觉，廖启智已经去了，片子库存只会减少，却又被耗在了一部乏善可陈的片子一个毫无作用的角色。同类型片本身就要靠花头推陈出新了，这下偏偏还要用平淡无奇的运镜跟无聊至极的剧情重复类型片的每一个环节，真的很无聊。
三池崇史这类一直拍一直烂的有名or无名监督邻国好多也算霓虹特色了。以及一直以来都觉得他长的好像王学圻哦…
