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'.

身体美学固然好，大片空洞乏力的文本让人根本没耐心看。虽然是新奇的设定，但愣是演出呆板无趣的迷幻世界了...
不喜欢这种风格的电影。本来很期待的大片，结果和我想象的很不一样。
有一点没想到这是艾格斯的片子 依旧是风格感十足的影调 但故事稍微无聊了一点点 画面和声音层面的质感让我很想在电影院看一遍//啊 什么时候能进电影院看影展啊
心肺经络家族树，野人屠村现女巫，奴隶球赛拼头槌，人体雕塑夜游魂，极恶亲娘毁童年，英灵武神三温暖，岩浆筋肉斗老叔；果然是哈姆雷特的正确打开方式，过瘾
哈姆雷特这套已经看腻了，亮点只有极具个人风格的视听，以及安雅的脸蛋和屁股。艾格斯趋于商业的一部，希望后续给力一点。

相当有趣，甚至在一些单场戏里变成了某种具有荒诞喜剧气质的恐怖片。必须要承认剧作与价值观的老套保守，制片厂与导演撕扯的痕迹也足够明显，但电影终究是视听语言的艺术，Eggers运用艺术电影级别的调度搭载神秘主义与类型元素，最终达成了一种妖异的“美感”与“爽感”（尽管根据场外信息来看这也许是制片厂逼迫的结果）如果真的要靠所谓的“大片”把观众留在电影院，那我宁愿选这部而不是“三虫同框”
导演一以贯之的风格，让电影自始至终都渗透着潮湿且肮脏的暴力和美感。它不是一个简单的王子复仇，它更像是一场在无尽暴力和血腥笼罩之下、无限轮回的命运传说。
出乎意料地好看！叙事变得快准狠的同时仍然保留了导演一贯的凶暴邪性，民俗史学+怪力乱神也在投资升级下玩得更尽兴，可算是极少数把现代电影制作工艺运用得恰到好处的正面例子。Claes Bang帅炸
北欧版“王子复仇记”，不过没什么国王、王子，完全就是村长家恩仇记。冲着强大的卡司多打一分，影片充溢黑暗风，画面暴力、野蛮、血腥，令人极度不适。故事也让人错愕、纠结，父子、母子、情人关系都不像人们此前想象的那样，感觉一切都建立在错误的基础上，结尾干脆是同归于尽，都死个痛快。
整部片的夜戏/暗夜戏居多，所以电影院观看是必须，否则很难还原电影创作者想传达的氛围/意境。音乐从头到尾都很满，北欧神话借用的不错，如果没记错，这大概是第一次电影院看到认真描写北欧人的原始残酷，以及神，仪式。演员表演的很戏剧化，配合古典化英语的用意，也算是相得益彰。（NK有些段落会穿越会现代，大概真的是对白能力的问题。）故事很简单，是王子复仇记的脚本，但是北欧神话的内核，人像木偶，神话脚本/神才是主控，曾经如此，现在和未来谁又能说不是？
拍成了PPT的样子，结果连最基本的故事都讲不好，有点神经病的气息，浪费了这强大的卡斯团
一般般，PS：我要是反派，一定先把对手的手脚都剁了然后再磨叽
完全达到预期的一部片，并且超过同类型的《绿衣骑士》。提前预定2022年十佳不成问题。老婆很美。
没啥意思 节奏缓慢 演员演的倒挺起劲 欧美人貌似很吃莎翁这套
看来导演本意是为了展示维京文化，但说实话，现在维京文化已经不算很新鲜了，众多的影视剧尤其是游戏已经很充分地表现了维京文化，说到底还是野蛮人的残暴文化，不会上瘾的。
3+，挣脱神话的启示和悲剧的束缚，勇敢去爱和战斗吧！
有些失望，最期待的生命政治的故事线，顶多算冒了个泡。整个故事浸没在晦涩艰深的低语中，以一个艺术家的先锋尝试，去找寻new sex。艺术的先锋，社会语境的割裂，器官的崇高感使得电影脱离了body horror的经典表达。他似乎走到了《钛》之后的那部，已经试图在政治 神秘的窄缝里，但就如莫滕森死神一般的装束里柯南伯格依然是悲观的，这条后人类的新路，有了声响却再度落入概念的窠臼
我愿称其为viking action movie版的conan the barbarian，贵坞的ego还真是一如既往的大哦
哈姆雷特里失语的王后开口了！男主才是罪恶的产物 “child born of savagery
