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'.

评分这么低不至于吧。有点破次元得感觉，把前作角色都致敬了一遍。对于各种恐怖片定律和flag的吐槽反讽也很有趣。血腥成都也不低。就是前作看了忘了，知识面欠缺导致有点跟不上。想重新看一下前四部了。
你说制片方，一届一届换了多少演员剧本啦，改过不啦，换汤不换药啊。人家鬼脸面具也有理由说的，我拍的什么片啊，我拍的恐怖片啊，你们这批什么小丑啊，你叫我拍。再下去要成喜剧片了，噫，先拍成家庭伦理片，再拍成喜剧片，再往下拍不出来了
悬疑惊悚做得还不错，但结局有没过分滑稽了点，编剧写飘了吧
最可笑的其实是我，竟然把这么烂的电影看完了，也够弱智的。
【5.0】除了R级的血腥，几乎一无是处，老套的Jump Scare用个没完，为了推动剧情的角色刻意降智行为让人看得火大，那点对系列前作的解构更是蠢得令人发笑...
美式惊悚恐怖影迷特供，非常挑人，但还算有趣。
青少年线（除了藏在里面的反转）真是降智廉价，杀戮本身已经陈旧乏味了。

惊声尖笑，你这个万恶之源，害得我现在看到这个面具就想笑，根本没办法好好看下去了。不过巴巴杜克确实别这个系列好看
对了，还有为了“爆头”的梗，受到枪击火烧的反派居然还能冲跑过来，未免也太过离谱。又一部能被看成喜剧的恐怖片。
弱智到发笑，电影院里响起了此起彼伏的笑声，我怀疑这是一个喜剧片…
不是冲着铁三角，我一分都不想给
老包袱新笑点，此外杀手的颜我还挺fancy的
多次对恐怖片惯用手法的戏谑，以及在故事中影迷本身对“血腥刺杀”的倾覆与再创作，影片在实际的创作形式与内容上，实则是一次对自身的解构到重组。
算很成功、很有可看性的重启。小时候曾看过第十放映室对该片的分析，电话成为了入侵一个密闭空间的最锋利武器。从成片来看，既有对情怀的重现（消费），也有与当下的有机结合。看的时候就在想，这bf就算不死，就冲这软弱的劲也特么必须蹬了。
（可是Netflix上只有惊声尖笑啊

正派总是事后诸葛亮，所以杜伊挂了。反派曝了身份后能杀主角就是不杀，结果被反杀
没有那么恐怖，但是恐怖和欢乐的界限刚好到我挺适应的程度。这个混血长相姐姐好会演戏啊，最后从一枪爆头开始的演技看得太爽了。但是槽点还是恐怖片惯有的那些槽点：医院总是空无一人；警察只会犯案之后来清理现场；凶手压倒性优势的时候总是不杀了而是开始长篇大论然后被翻盘。
2022黑人女同毫无悬念活到最后，二十年前的话估计是第一个死。
