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'.

有些单薄，但男孩最后的反杀真的秀到了。那些死掉的孩子也无比的催泪，他们没有一个坐以待毙，都是顶顶勇敢聪明的好孩子，他们做到了能做到的一切，每一通电话都是一声深深地哀叹。
记录在战争中被误杀的平民和儿童，很少见的题材，有几处都令人震撼：开头飞机扫射至车中几个去赴宴的美女和司机的惨死。被埋在地下室废墟中无法挪动的修女和女孩的对话，小女孩声音那么平静，却慢慢被涨高的水淹至无声。。。
只有最后的10分钟是精彩的，前面所有的线索集中到一起助小男孩反杀真的有被爽到，至于中间就比较单薄无聊。看完此片后陷入深深的焦虑，对于动手能力和智慧都为0的我来说如果被绑架是别想逃出去了
还能多说些什么呢 战争的危害 带给民众的痛苦是无限的 被用来做无谓牺牲的抵抗组织 还有本该幸福快乐的普通民众 战争没有精准打击一说 民众的伤亡在所难免
伊桑·霍克脸都几乎没看见，电影就结束了。一开始以为是文艺片，后来觉得是犯罪片，然后认为是恐怖片，最后发现是鬼魂类恐怖片。大概就是最后一个被坏人抓住的小孩，在之前惨死小孩鬼魂的帮助下逃出生天。帮助的方式是通过一部断线的黑色电话。虽然前几次逃跑都失败了，但每一次失败的尝试都在最后反杀时派上了用场，是不错的铺垫。男孩妹妹那神秘的梦也挺有意思，以前好像看过一部类似的梦境寻人的电影。一开始的文艺怀旧风还是挺不错的，插曲也好听。
原来是斯蒂芬金的儿子写的，不闷不难看，但故事节奏很奇怪，看下来像一道半成品...反派非常弱，小男主非常帅。
正义，是一张美丽的挂毯，我们只看得到呈现在眼前的主体，却难以察觉背后隐藏起来的丑陋的针脚。这部电影很好的把这种矛盾性刻画了出来。而且在整部电影前期做的铺垫，选取的人物的点也非常容易产生共鸣，以至在结尾时造成更大的冲击。
太赶了，除了最后的小姑娘故事线还算完整，其他线很多都零零散散有头无尾，想表达的东西太多了反倒没表达出来。题材其实可以不限制于煽情，拔高一点
伊娃、丽穆、亨利、伊娃妈妈，还有那位被翻译为“辅警”的年轻人……个个形象鲜明，印象深刻。
根据二战时期迦太基行动改编。一开场就抓住了吸引力，但是整体篇幅太短。如果可以把前因后果拍得更详细就好了（看完之后就去查了一下这段历史）。摄影和孩子们的演技都非常不错。Teresa和Frederik的角色应该是虚构的…总结就是 英国皇家空军真的不靠谱❌🆘
是枝裕和的每部电影中，“道德选择”是推动故事的重要动力，但是在《掮客》中，我却看不到选择，只是看到了比《小偷家族》还要童话的韩影故事，每一个主人公都神圣到了极点，将本来就无烟火气的故事变得更为虚假。
一个多小时了才进入正题 节奏太慢了 又一个残酷战争中的代表事件 覆巢之下 焉有完卵 人类的自相残杀什么时候能够休止 上帝啊 你别再捡铅笔了
与其说这部电影是恐怖片，其实我觉得其实偏悬疑吧，恐怖的氛围是有的，但是导演并没有采用视觉上的惊吓，而是先用前面的剧情让观众对两个小主角产生好感，再趁热打铁，让刚被关进地下室的小男主与恶棍斗智斗勇，这么一个可怜的小帅哥被恶棍关到地下室，你会不他的命运揪心吗？导演正是利用这一点，来对观众造成心理上的冲击。不得不说，斯科特导演确实把观众们的心理玩明白了呀，一亿美元的成绩理所应当。不过缺点我也不得不批评。构图差，配乐差，不能给观众带来视觉效果；小女孩的特殊能力影片没给出解答；剧情实在是太快了，有时让人摸不着头脑，虽然剧本非常一般，但小男孩和霍克的表演深深地强化了影片表达效果，小女孩的演技有待加强哦。这种以小孩子为视角的80’恐怖片永远是我的最爱
好无聊……
多少有点水土不服，但还是我爱的是枝裕和，全宇宙最温柔的导演
“电话是响了，但是没人能听见。除了你……”
阴影 每个人都会有 但战争的阴影要比其它一切都大 因为战争让死亡变成了常态 特别对于孩子而言
死亡电话，梦境通灵，物件解谜过关斩将，密室小鬼战大鬼，Finn's arm is mint! Joe Hill 的又一个现代黑色童话，质量赶上他爹老金了，当然，导演 Scott Derrickson 也发挥很好
战争对于生命就是这么荒诞，美化战争就是犯罪。
作为是枝裕和忠粉，这次我表示略失望。
