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'.

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
这个社会，普通人如何跟资本抗衡，如何跟权力抗衡，官商勾结时，普通人有没有活路。法律对于普通人而言根本没有公平性。考公不是为了服务人民，是为了铁饭碗。“为人民”三个字就是笑话。
韩国电影的强大在于敢于拍摄真实事件和政治事件，让我们更能看到历史背后的东西。
当权利与资本勾结为奸时，难道我们只能在绝望中等待遥不可及的运气？！
拍成电视剧感觉会更好！韩国在拍这类题材上一直没输过！
结局可太真实了 有那么多证据摆在那 相关责任部门还在恬不知耻的踢皮球
联想到了 我国的三氯氰胺事件， 对环境为啥食品安全的问题一定不能马马虎虎，要为每一项标准负责，不能赚黑心钱
在本国卖了几千w 澳洲却过不了实验
这部电影和朱莉亚·罗伯茨主演的《永不妥协》的主题类似，主要是歌颂和赞扬小人物面对庞大的势力集团不屈不挠的抗争精神！
片名蛮灾难片的感觉，不过在看过《辩护人》等佳作后，这部片子确实节奏拖沓缓慢，煽情部分也严重不足，个人在面对权贵面前确实显得苍白#电影 #空气杀人
医生剖开发妻的胸膛，看到被资本毒害的肺脏。庶民坐在正义的殿堂，直面被金钱操纵的人心。杀菌剂故事的背后，是普通人捍卫生命权之路仍充满公仆的冷漠与法度的荒谬。诚然是邻国一部普普通通的流水线作品，但它的存在代表着诘问的声音，仅此一项，值得尊敬。
2011真实案例 邻国十年后拍成电影 特意去搜了一下2008毒奶粉事件 至今没有一个影视作品 还有人关心当年的大头娃娃们么
7.1，电影呈现的故事只值两颗星，但是看在这强大的卡司阵容与抓耳的原声带，觉得两星实在于心不忍，又加了一星。我觉得电影改编存在最大的问题就是与音乐舞台剧的割裂感太强，以青少年社交障碍心理问题作为切入点，聚焦成长的亲情与友情故事本来是一个很好的点，但是电影的改编让原音乐剧的主题与观感呈现大打折扣。很多片段如果没有原声带的加持，完全给人一种看生活肥皂剧的感觉，主题共情点与人物表现力感觉没有音乐剧更能震撼人心，而且电影对原音乐剧一些重要情节的删减也让初看的人一头雾水，甚至萌生出“过度消费死者”的奇异想法，一些场景前后衔接也不是很好，就比如康纳的那一段表演戏，虽然是作为一个笑点，但与前后的协调还是太差。2个小时的时长也让电影毫无起伏的剧情更加冗长，如果压到1个半小时左右或许更好。
怎么说呢，就是非常韩国，非常商业，非常套路，但还是会被感动，一方面是因为这是真实事件改编，一方面是韩国这种本身充满黑幕的国家，影视行业却总是敢于挑战揭露很多我们这里同样多不胜数却不能说的东西，从这一点来说，只说这一点的话，目前韩国商业类型片电影确实比我们要弹性更大，所以我们总会在韩国电影电视剧里看到类型片的爆款，而不像我们只会在大红大专的题材上才能爆（那些所谓都市现实题材的剧绝大多数我都觉得很傻逼）

本来以为是惊悚片，原来是社会政治片。这种吸入的东西最好里面别加添加剂。
故事挺好，可惜拍的犹如流水账，清汤寡水……
细思极恐，那些看不见的黑手最为恐怖，利益熏心。反观一下现在的疫情还有检测机构，能正义履职尽责的又有多少？上层决策底层执行，需要的不仅仅是执行，论证和怀疑过吗？
加湿器消毒液含有毒成分，整个故事还是很精彩的，中间反转，最后再反转，看的仍然震撼，不走民事诉讼，要走刑事诉讼，啧啧，每个国家都在资本的控制下，老百姓的维权路真的难上加难，最后的政府部门互相推责的画面真的讽刺啊！黑金政治，草菅人命！这类题材真的多多益善，良心需要复苏，社会公德需要复苏。。。
加湿器杀菌剂引发的血案，电影本身很真实，但事件真相足够震惊全社会，确实佩服南边对其政府腐败的彻底揭露，电影确实不是给韩国人看的，是给边上邻居们看的。
