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'.

半小时前刚出，就迫不及待看了下中文版本，还不错！！
在本国卖了几千w 澳洲却过不了实验
拍的这么好的片我不许它分数这么低，韩国电影的崛起就在于什么题材都能涉及，普通民众对抗大财阀，法院的无能，专家证人的作假，官官相护的小团体，依靠良知对抗的艰辛，本片都有表现，而且因为是真实事件改编，更加触动人心
挺套路的，胜在演员认真自然吧。韩国也挺奇怪的，明明各种恶性事件都能拍成电影也算“知耻”吧，却没见它“后勇”
老太太病床上的女儿，有水俣病那味了。
三星半。前半段挺无聊的，后半段反转的时候还是很痛快人心、酣畅淋漓。
要不是我很喜欢音乐，我半小时就会退出这个电影。没办法共情……
这样的事件 可以上升到的高度 很牛 又是我朝无法过审的剧本....
和小委托人给我的感觉相似，同样是改编自真实事件却没有达到好的层级，故事拍得很流水线。评分过低，在我看来中规中矩但是合格线以上。也是，这种应该拍成黑水那种水平才不枉来自真实事件的惊悚。人活着没有良心，对生死无敬畏，要是还爬升到了社会的高层，是一件对民众来说最可怕的事情。
又是对资本的反抗，韩国不是一个国家，而是一帮资本家的公司
之前看评价很差，实际看下来其实还行？歌还是好听好哭的，电影院里也听到别人的抽泣声，可能因为最让人共情的部分还是在那里的吧。但在音乐剧转换成电影的部分就不太行，这是这类电影的通病吧。。。有些唱段就出来得很突兀，调度也不太行，only us的MV式呈现我真的无语了（。完全没有发挥出电影荧幕和舞台完全不一样的优势。加上音乐剧剧本通常都很难探讨得特别深，这部虽然改了结局但是该细化的地方依然是缺的。不过这部三位主要女演员都还挺喜欢的，Kaitlyn唱歌和说话的声音好不一样哦。AA和摩尔阿姨基本还是来打酱油的（。以及主角这演法总让我想起卷毛。。坐等12月把之前没看成的剧看上！！！
想到前段时间沙利度胺公司才道歉的新闻，心寒。
不太好看，但是蠢蠢的迟来正义还是看得人热血沸腾
这几年出了好多部，大企业“杀人案”，前有《黑水》后有《水俣病》，本片少了些还原的真实，更趋向于商业片似的反转。
之前看到这个新闻就不敢用加湿器了，看完电影知道到底怎么回事，现在无良奸商太多化学制品还是尽量少用，因为毕竟是化学制品
钱权交易，人命为草芥，政府的职能是养蛀虫，既然权由人赋，为何还会官逼民反？
以及Pen Platt无论何时一张嘴都能唱得我一身鸡皮疙瘩
乌托邦电影 感觉并没有很真实地反应事情的真实性和维权的困难重重 男主作为一个因故失去妻子 儿子生命也危在旦夕的父亲 一开始的感情收缩得过为紧凑 到了中段给我的感觉就像是一个独立调查委员会的调查员一样冷静 有思路且带逻辑。再说O2公司的科长 常理而言 作为CEO的接替人 竟然会不知道公司产品的危害性？且妻儿无缘因故逝去后 也不曾怀疑其中的原因 非要等收到男主的调查问卷才开始察觉？ 确实有点说不过去。另外前半段剧情表明 这官司已经是输定的了 借用O2公司科长的反水才翻盘 但这也是诟病之处 也是脱离现实之处。
太冗长 还是棒子剧情电影 事故让人痛心 可是电影张力不够
电影本身潦草一般，女演员也撑不起来女律师的角色，可其中的意义值得多加一星。不知道良知缺失的人是因为没良心才坐上高位，还是因为坐上高位后没良心呢
