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'.

想打三星 因为觉得情感表达也欠了点 时代压抑感刻画得也不足够厚重 但转念又想 我是谁啊 有什么资格这么苛刻 还是四星吧
酒吧男主向男二吐烟气和男二扔他小纸屑那段不要太暧昧好嘛？！整个为后面床上云翻雨覆做足铺垫！整部片基调还是比较阴暗但这对还是有点好磕的！
还以为是个悬疑片，结果就是个剧情片(对不起是我没看标签)，故事其实不差，但节奏真的太慢了
没有未来，即便在阴冷压抑的环境下也要抓住现在。看着好难过
对脸盲比较友好，众多的人物都尽量做了服装、造型、化妆的差异化，点赞。就是常常不能分清台词是哪个角色说的，两个男演员的音色比较接近，只能靠语境猜一猜。视听太出色了，这摄影、这运镜、这配乐，啧啧啧，看得我如沐春风。
“人不能对一切感到恐惧，尤其是为了自由。”
简单，有效，计划实际，实施彻底，老炮儿就应该这样。
③真实事件的“风信子”，到现在为止，依然留存着档案。“做人不能什么都害怕，尤其不能害怕自由。”
男二眼睛很好看，电影的BGM挺适配的。一开始还以为主角是铁直男，后面看来可能是个双吧，不过出轨挺不好的，女生实惨。
政治迫害的题材很容易牵动情绪，但也很容易拍不好。这部片子就是处处都想说，但又处处都没有到位的感觉……
案子查到最后结果发现自己的老爹也是主手之一，不管是否被胁迫。爸妈吵架那段对话倒是一语成缄，究竟是谁软弱？我想在男主拿着枪去追那个要杀男二的时候就已经有了答案，或者说更早，在他不想草草结案的时候……
垃圾导演编排是非制造对立激化矛盾和不信任，这种垃圾导演才是同和异性恋最大的敌人。
“快走，我会找到你的。”
“快逃，我会找到你的”这不是结局，这是另一个开始。
不知道为什么，或许带着真实历史事件的滤镜的缘故，观看的过程多了份肃穆和压迫感。主要是悬疑风的剧情安排，披着时代的背景，讲述LGBT群体被压迫的故事。男二这个角色无论是人物的设定还是演员的选择真的特别出彩，水汪汪无辜的大眼睛真的很打动人心，我摊牌了，这片一大半的爱都是因为他。
卧底和大学生，与其说是被吸引更进一步该是认清内心深处的自己，他发现爱上了对方却无法救他以至于赔上了自己的前途。男主的眼睛特别漂亮迷人
生活比较失意的时候适合看，影片节奏比较舒缓，原声带做得很棒，影片取景也很美，让人总体很放松，期间也有一定的跌宕起伏，总之看完很舒服。
电影的情节高潮迭起，很多画面和场景设计都很好看。导演充分在展示男主角的美好容颜，比如说无数次利用男主的侧脸，镜子里的脸，正面的镜头，还有一张枕着一边手臂想问题的那个白背心，全程痴汉。但这个剧情设定的就很屎。男主角真的是一段戏如人生，更甚都不止的故事。自己一个人热火朝天，对方，全程都是玩一玩，即使到了结尾，那个迟疑的不开枪是搞撒子！！！！！！
还蛮爱的。天哪！只是在想为什么西方国家会这么讨厌同性恋？
PS：着实接受不了“同志”，滑溜的女子不好么，俩全身是毛的大老爷们滚在一起，想想就全身鸡皮疙瘩。
