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'.

彩蛋也算温情了下下
还以为真的是翻拍的续集呢，拍了个啥么，失望，挂羊头卖狗肉
成年人的心脏不能移植给小孩！不适配！不适配！不适配！
老老实实直接照搬《迫在眉睫》就得了，非得取其精华去其糟粕是吧？
太搞笑了，他儿子的病本来就是心脏太大了，结果给换了个更大的。但是因为是父爱主题，又不忍心给一星……无语，被拿捏了
里面有聋哑学校的厕所校长哦，那典型的八字眉，当时看《熔炉》的时候就记得那一幕那颗头了，当然此剧结尾还是美化了，为了迎合大众朴素的情感，从电影电视剧中感受现实中没有的慰藉
误杀1就很喜欢，听说误杀2要上了，立马就去看了。不得不说，2比1更加让我喜欢，对于“误杀”的诠释，2给出了更加深刻，也更加贴近社会的解读 。对于心灵和精神的谋杀比对于身体的残害更加值得我们关注。任达华的演技已经到了出神入化的地步，一个眼神就让人战栗。最后不得不感叹一下主创是在太“敢”拍了，这部电影我必二刷，下回带爸妈也去看看。
既然新的故事，就别用误杀2这个名字了吧，感觉到了欺骗。节奏太拖沓，剧情散漫
麻了，翻拍原作不修修原作漏洞，反而是把窟窿越捅越大。还故作高深地各种反转，转个锤子啊！早知道去玩游戏了，看这个跟坐牢差不多。
依旧是属于也不能说它差，只是不够好，口碑就会很差的那一类电影。 开场的节奏比美版更类型片，选取了美版对立面的结局（可能是为了扣题），忽略了被绑架者群像的描绘，更多的笔墨在讲外层的各个相关人员。虽然也不喜欢美版，但是也不能让人喜欢中国版……
七月开机，十二月上映，难怪拍出来这种东西。只能说陈思诚自以为抓住了所谓的“下沉”密码吧。
又是我在观看流水账电影（黑心企业的黑帮stereotype别来了行吗）
导演你没事吧？好好的题材拍得烂成这样也是牛。
剧本还是不错，就是表现太重了，每一场戏都想要你哭，不哭不是好观众。好累
透过作品警告民众，如果忘记并抹去这段记忆，下一个牺牲者将会是我们。与其说这是描述受害者的作品，不如说是为了保护未来的我们，所以必须铭记历史，让悲剧不再重复发生
就别《误杀》了。“要不你还是把我杀了吧，我咬紧牙关命令我发出这句话，天黑之前再讲一句晚安吧，就这样吧，往后的日子别来无恙啊，要不然你就把我杀了吧 ……” 土味相投，绝配！
真的有那么好的警察吗？女记者为什么毕业两年就那么成功 因为人家拼啊 可排除背后有政敌支持 真有那么勇的记者吗？大人的心脏与小孩不适配 在泰国每个人都说中文 这就有点扯… 但肖央演弱者 真的好可怜 我们一辈子 老老实实做人 认认真真工作 孩子病了 心脏被人抢了… 被劫持的人质都斯德哥尔摩了 我也是 从此胸腔里跳动着爸爸的心脏 一想起来就心酸
两颗星，这种题材能进电影院加一星，知道为啥都喜欢当官了吧！有些东西不是有钱就行的！
用一个很差的故事讲了一个非常土的老生常谈的人间大爱人性善恶阶层差异的主题，片方捞钱捞的太直白，真是大可不必啊，咱就说导演小策都拍的比这好
没有预想那么差，但就女新闻人主导查案和X蛋结尾这两点，让整片剧情显得就一逻辑智障。肖央演技太可以了。看完2，明白了原来《误杀》是个挑战公权力的翻拍系列电影，所以大陆肯定不能当背景了，泰国就....3准备翻拍哪部呢？
