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'.

纯屎尿屁喜剧，狗血酸爽，男主各种不讨喜，贫贱夫妻百事哀。
关于女性作为母亲身份“天职”的探讨，尝试离开家庭重角色后，承受的痛苦有多少来自社会的规训，又有多少来自内心母性的谴责?如此痛苦与在家庭中被束缚相比又如何取舍?
让我见识见识强悍人种是怎么交流和打架的，没死亡之雪系列好玩，但比猎杀星期一好看。
7分还不错挺爽的，达不到小而美的程度。剧情虽然几度翻转，却惊喜有限。血浆很足，娱乐效果不错，但故事本身很一般
期待过高了，以为是一层套一层的反转爽片，看点是两夫妻到底为啥相爱相杀，结果三个逃犯那里就开始出线了，跟想象的完全不一样。有几个地方还是看着挺疼的
北欧cult片，足够有劲，反转+黑色幽默+血腥，融合挺好，没什么太多含义，看的感觉就是爽，最后还来了个现实讽刺，有意思。。。
这是近年来看过最血腥暴力的电影 不愧是维京民族的后裔 处理夫妻之间感情都这么感性的事都用暴力解决 我最喜欢那个老爷爷了 真NB
前半部是惊喜，后半部有些落入暴力血浆的平庸。
老爷子真的加分。
彪悍夫妇笨贼大乱斗，虽然叙事用了最常规的手法，中规中矩，但可靠性还行。
夫妻各怀鬼胎去旅行，计划杀死对方骗保，结果遇到逃狱三人组，一番争斗后顺利反杀。逃狱的三人不如叫搞笑三人组吧，智商捉鸡
北欧片丧心病狂起来也是当仁不让的，老头子太惨辽(￣□￣；)
7.4 这片名翻译的像大姨妈来了一样。原以为是《婚姻故事》，结果是《血腥地狱》，不过还是血腥地狱刺激。这部片子一开始的镜头给的太明显了，工具、枪、刀、桌球台。老爹很酷有加分。
逃离家庭的女人，抛弃女儿的母亲，平静悠闲的假期因为吵闹的闯入者卷起思绪风暴，难以启齿的身份在翻涌的回忆中逐渐拼凑完整。莱达从互为镜像的妮娜身上看到了与自己年轻时相似的经历，以旁观者视角观察他人生活，又在每个恍惚失神的片刻投射到内心世界，时空穿梭，频繁闪回，浮露秘密往事，撕开创伤记忆，那些集喜爱和厌恶、无私和自私于一体的复杂情感全都无所藏匿。“母职”是一条无形锁链，成为传统社会所认可的完美母亲意味着割舍自我人格，失去存在价值，心甘情愿地牺牲青春，毫无怨言地奉献自己，这是所有女性面临的窒息困境，莱达勇敢地跳出了桎梏，却仍要在痛苦自责中承受选择的后果。本片有费兰特的原著小说打底，文本上自然不会差，玛吉·吉伦哈尔完成了她稚嫩的导演处女作，科尔曼出色的表演完全值得提名，首尾呼应的配乐《Leda》加分。

老爹语录
情节够劲，场面够劲，结构也喜欢，有看《猎头》者的感觉。个人偏好，所以推荐。
反转什么的并不惊奇，惊喜的是骨子里的恶趣味，坏到底了，连“me too”同志马男充电汽车……全都拿来消费一下，带着瑞典的冷，三个逃犯的长头发一开始还一副拯救别人婚姻危机的导师姿态，更不用说各种政治讽刺了……逗乐子算你们厉害，哪里是挪威电影，分明是定制血浆片，屎尿屁横飞。最后她们并没有多相爱，只是开始复工了，导演和女主角狠起来连自己都消费，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈……还不是为了钱。最后还忍不住讽刺一下黑人角色的政治正确。咳咳。三星半
前半段完美，后半段乏味，结局意料之内，讽刺十足，还是值得一看的
母亲的身份外衣如此紧缚，致使这场出走永远无法做到决绝和彻底。出走、堕落或回来的耻感如影随形，以此带来的分裂和撕扯加诸在她身上，必将更加尖锐，也更加钝重。
