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'.

好无聊 网飞真的别再拍网大了吧 浪费资源。
PNW的天气，灯光，音乐，把气氛烘托得完美。剧情肯定经不起推敲，看着玩儿
啥几把电影，渲染出一个超强力的食人怪物，然后在自己的老巢被女主一个普通人一顿狂干就给干死了？杀一只熊都怕是没这么容易吧？
Judd Apatow的随心自黑之作+隔离疫情命题第13000次炒冷饭+各路喜剧咖团建，先期口碑差成那样，但看完后却意外能找到惊喜的地方；很适合和拥有同样精神的《不要抬头》组成连映安排，并召集朋友来个观影主题夜- -“反正人类已经药丸”。调侃系列电影的喋喋不休和拙劣的特效技与绿幕，对各种系列电影的拙劣模仿，“我用手机拍摄赢得圣丹斯”这些信手拈来的梗；虽然它的感觉和成品相当糟糕，但因为傻，因为热闹，它就是在这愈发无语的时刻唯一还能让你有话说的电影。【里面的英国小哥下部《英版百分之十》常驻，yoyoyo!】
为什么评论区大家一副很期待的样子，这部平平无奇的烂片。
2021了还在依靠主角智商掉线推动剧情发展。
阴冷破败的小镇氛围塑造的很好，可惜最后有点泄气
怪物=毒品？还是=父权？
好久没看过这么高级的怪兽片了，氛围营造一流，才5.3分？
Carol, why do you want us to bail? Just tell us why.
结束也太快了这
怪物的造型和场景氛围很好/海报设计好，剧情崩，基本符合我的心理预期。比较让我消化不良的设定是，这个故事里的魔不是一个可以被摧毁的具象的物体，也不是一个可以造成传染的变异病菌，而是一个抓不住的神话，一个宿主被摧毁，它会马不停蹄地去寻找下一个。对我来说这个设定不是高光点，而是败笔，因为它让我无法对这个故事产生合理的想象或者期待。
变成Wendigo 的原因到底是什么?
很多事情交待得不清楚！鹿角怪物出现次数不多
陀螺监制，氛围和影像质感还可以，但导演还是一如既往的慢和叙事效率低，对比小说改动不少（包括结局），怪物塑造得那么恐怖，却被女主开个挂就杀掉，处理得太草率了，5.5。（最后还留了个续集的可能）
以为是恐怖片 结果是怪兽片 再说那老师的战斗力是什么鬼啊 而且是怎么做到那么短的时间接受这个设定的啊 人家传说级的怪物就这么叫你A死了？ 让我感觉这个世界的人类是不是经常处理这些事
一星给冷清的色调，简直不要太合我胃口，甚至想要搬进影片中地地方。一星给小演员的演技，准确点说，这部戏基本上就是在靠小演员撑。剧本漏洞太大，惊悚点不足，温情戏也没做好，导致整个片子冗长无比
中规中矩，前期看预告片的那种诡异氛围没有很好的呈现比较可惜，但是故事却不会让人觉得无聊的程度。btw，女子力真的很强
在烂和还行的边缘试探的惊悚片吧……导演和团队有用心去做……奈何这鹿魔的设定对于鹿是七彩神鹿寓意而美好动物，无法代入。女主和男孩对父亲复杂情感这块……也一般吧。很努力的片子，well，勉勉强强。
狗屁玩意，要有多难看就有多无聊！逻辑性一塌糊涂，老爹都这样了还天天上学，《潘神》羊翁覆灭记！所有铺垫都没用上，原生家庭的痛苦回忆，原住民的迫害、全部都没一点关系
