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'.

世上只有一种英雄主义，就是在认清生活真相之后，依然热爱生活。凯奇或许不是什么英雄，但看完这部片子想起童年时候在电视上追他电影的时光不禁感叹，他其实是很多影迷心中无可替代的传奇。
bheem，ram，sita
同样是拍神剧， 差了人家一万年，手撕鬼子相形之下倒像个忠厚长者了。
如果这部电影引进内地，片名请记得叫《犇犇犇》
有意思的都是自黑的部分，转到类型上就没啥嚼劲了，凯奇借着电影向世人宣告爷没过气，爷还是尼古拉斯·牛逼·凯奇。
情节不合理也勉强能接受，毕竟印度战狼，都能给我看乐了，但是实在是太太太长了，耐心和好感度在后一个小时被拉低。
看一下印度的大制作爱国主旋律电影，倒也是另一番滋味。在主旋律的基调上，不忘放一些“咖喱味”的东西在。不过，单从这个简单到不能再简单的AI剧本来看，原来不论国籍和历史，主旋律输出的方式，真的可以说是大同小异。手撕鬼子，并不只是中国特色。
印度的大制作电影最牛逼的还是巴霍巴利王。虽然牛顿也管不了。但是那是神话故事。
还有点以前红色故事片的战友情谊，着实不易。
神剧只能爽一时，印度电影需要点正史来清醒下，现在电影里个人英雄主义有点泛滥了，后面的忠义两难有点扯，全片比较套路化。至于潜伏多年以偷子弹的剧情更是扯了，革命不是开玩笑，不过完全殖民的印度确实也很难发展出自己的工业体系
小女孩唱的主题歌很好听，不得不说，派对跳舞那段我当时就在想，对演员的体力要求也太大了吧，全是很大的动作，还跳了这么久。不过太夸张了，剧情什么的不会给高分，但音乐啊舞蹈啊给高分，综合下来就一般般分数了。
阖家欢乐的电影，全程笑哈哈，还很有趣很热血。
印度战狼抗英神剧，暴打英国鬼子，看的可开心了哈哈哈，比看007装逼有意思。
适合吐槽，而且看了不糟心。所以非常适合一群人看的时候吐槽
看了40分钟。对印度电影这种超人式的拍法没有意外。但是，脑海中英印殖民后期的知识稍微有点反馈，我人生第一部（不是不爱国之类的，世界观形成的时期不一样，我可能开化晚，别他妈杠）有关印度的电影，是
我想知道印度电影有低于一个半小时的吗…太gay了 每次跳舞的画面出来
各种慢镜头开挂的双人阿三组合，抗英阿三，战狼阿三。
影片节奏、色彩表现都很出众，故事线索清晰明了，剧情饱满，虽是很多人瞧不起的“爽片”但并不影响其优秀
最后的树林大战上演了一出印度版的兰博出击，牛顿棺材板压不住了！
