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'.

这个剧情.. 实在是有些不懂
已经变成水怪的弟弟为了救人被砸死有一丢丢感动
想要吓人，但感觉只想通过音效营造出恐怖气氛，这点真的还得向温子仁多加学习。剧情也看得我一脸懵逼，一开始弟弟为什么要在树林里杀告密的人呢，又说把女儿抓走了，干活的没看到有女的…太多bug了，女主的演技也有待改进，相反小六子演技不错啊。整体对于国产恐怖片来说还是可以的了，虽然并不恐怖，还煽情。但是中途看着还是觉得有点无聊。
好看的！电影前期紧张的氛围渲染的很到位，恐怖氛围拉满，情节发展自然不突兀，最后的结局很感人，女主超级飒！
还行。剧情过的去，有伏笔有反转。特效再好点就好了
我跟女巫口味差不多
情节还是不错的，没想到水猴子就是清河，姐弟无法在一起的难过表现的还不错。动作效果方面表现一般
这对姐弟好可怜，弟弟其实不想杀人。他应该很爱姐姐，姐姐是他心中唯一的善。村长太黑心了，这么轻易的就死了。
人生第一部参与了大量镜头的电影，五星给自己。看到大家夸猫可爱，虫子恶心我就开心了。
一开始我只是想打开一个背景音网络大电影，最后水猴子和姐姐相认吹笛子那我居然哭得稀里哗啦的，王真儿好漂亮啊，美丽与丑陋，邪恶与纯真，没想到我在网大也能这么真情实感，只要能引起共鸣就是好电影，而且画面出奇的好，剪辑也流畅节奏也好BGM也很好，这不比所谓的大导演大制作大腕儿好吗？!!!国产网络电影未来可期。
鬼节项目，水怪质量差了点，皮套不够精致哈哈哈，故事还可以的，稍微有点尴尬
很有“中国文化特色”的一部电影，女主深沉大气演绎的也不错，前半段留下了不少悬念。可逻辑上实在让人困惑，水猴子怎么就突然从个杀人魔转变为成为拯救众生的神灵？一个工作经验丰富的女法医怎么可能穿旗袍子去水林里工作？还有女主前往黑木林救小孩子，这些孩子的父母们难道不应该冲在前面吗？还有镇长骗走小男孩的时候为啥要戴面具啊？……诸如此类，后半段草草收尾，意犹未尽。
“No happy endings”
前半段的斗智昏昏欲睡（花园蜘蛛略微提神），后半段与女巫斗勇突然肾上激素飙升，小演员表演的演技试金石不得不说恐怖惊悚类型是评判标准之一。
认真看完了这部电影，水怪2画面感场景氛围很不错。画面色彩，布景都有老电影和香港电影的感觉，演员表现还行！我比较喜欢这个风格。剧情也很不错，前面有些阴深恐怖，后面又很感人。看得出拍摄组很用心。只是有些地方有些浮夸了，希望以后能出更多好电影，加油加油~！
小细节笑点不少，剧情简单粗暴，打发时间可以了
作为网络电影，故事尚算完整，恐怖氛围的营造也相当到位，无论是格调还是音效，前一个小时确实有不少场景是令人毛骨悚然的。取景和镜头有其局限性，谜团的设计缺乏深度，也欠周详，比较容易可以推理出走势，甚至结局。从表面上看，电影说的是姐姐到一个偏僻的村庄寻找弟弟，并和三位不同的弟弟产生了三段完全不一样的羁绊的故事，本质则是揭示了因果循环与善恶报应。满手鲜血的“水猴子”更多的是作为一个悲剧角色而存在，虽然身世凄惨，但最后也为救人而付出生命，算是还了旧债。村里迷信和作恶的老一辈人也得到了应有的下场。当然，部分细节还是偏粗糙，例如道具、服饰；人物形象也设计得不够鲜明；不少逻辑不够合理，经不起思考与推敲，硬伤较明显。部分叙事也显得混乱与拖沓，令整体观感打了一定折扣。整体水平在三星，不过不失吧！
不俗的睡前故事，用相对复杂的舞美和故事讲了一个传统的童话内核。
还行 有点恐怖童话的感觉。不知道为啥女巫那么好看。
胡乱的剧情和剪辑，不过我喜欢王真儿。虽然故事反转我都猜到个八九，亲情部分还是挺感人的。
