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'.

能为弱势群体发声就是不错的。女主年轻了点，面相也不太符合角色需要的样子。
编剧功力在线，几处高潮部分的台词特别振奋人心，翻译成中文也很美。
打了好些字又删了 有自己的事业并为之奋斗 有自己的理想并为之坚持 有自己的坚持而为之忍受孤独。为这个电影的话题之大胆，人物之丰满，剧本之夯实而五星。为什么这么说，不管如何讨论，有哪个角度能比从妓.女这个广受整个人类鄙夷的角色更具有冲突性的来讨论女性权益和奋斗的？
这是女权？好吧，或许在印度能做到这样已经是不错了，但是牙医那段是怎么回事？rh？如果想看到女权，那就算了，也就借此更加了解印度国情吧
当一个群体已经成长到无法忽视的地步时，我们没办法忽视他们，争取更多的权利，把事情往好的方向引导，也许是我们最应该做的。在这里也有girls help girls
带给我的爽感是不彻底的，一方面总是会闪现她为什么会落得如此境地如果她当初没被卖到妓院是怎样的，另一方面她的成长过程确实很爽，不想讨论她借人之力，她身上那种劲儿值得赞扬。但一想到现实就有种被打脸的感觉。
喜欢人生虽然坎坷，却努力向上，并目标达成的题材。虽然有金手指之嫌，却能给人带来希望，哪怕是虚无缥缈的，也能稍稍慰藉一下心灵。
看完我就想问，为啥有这么糟糕的社会环境？女主的美好品性为什么要被这些乱七八糟的事情浪费！她本该生活得更好！
一位骄傲的充满魅力的坚毅女性，伟大不屈勇猛的为女性权益奋斗。了不起的传记片！黄昏在车里和情人那段暧昧又强硬的调情，看似顽皮可爱，却无声的包含了甘谷拜的委屈期待失望痛苦。比起亲密的肢体接触，抚慰心灵的秀发爱抚或许更为需要。在泥泞中绽放的玫瑰，绚烂耀眼顽强妖娆。
不得不说三哥三姐一个个都是嘴炮十级，但是你最后开始鼓吹卖淫合法化那个逻辑能说服谁？妓女是维稳机器，没有妓女，“良家”就会被强奸，社会就会乱套？那干脆直接说y染劣等，直接清除就好了。
印度能拍出这种题材的作品，就远胜宇宙第一自信国了。文化输出，软实力不就是如此体现吗？
还喜欢女主角遇事冷静，一副要发狠，但是克制情绪，一击即中反击对方的那种睿智。
这机器翻译的。。。
看有些评论在分析什么故事逻辑，说得好像我们也有机会实现似的……确实是爽片，就过个眼瘾吧…
有人说甘古做了女老大又如何还不是妓女产业，可能怎么办？隔十二年打电话回家家人冷漠的语气，是绝大数印度女人娘家人的态度，回家不给你吊死了就算不错了。她可以跟她干哥去做生意，其它妓女们呢？不过捧着重金给15岁小姑娘找婆家，不如带着想走的姐妹们做其它生意餐饮啊卖酒什么的，“丈夫”这东西就是恶根。。。还有她要的卖Y合法化，还不是因为买卖妇不重判，没有法律能保护无辜女性嘛。。。
这是女权？好吧，或许在印度能做到这样已经是不错了，但是牙医那段是怎么回事？rh？如果想看到女权，那就算了，也就借此更加了解印度国情吧
最后她站在车子上，车子缓缓开着，旁边都是为她鼓掌为她加油的人，好感动啊。
女性有智慧，有想法，有尊严，在牢笼里呼吸自由！
PS:事实再一次证明，学医救不了中国，学电影救不了印度，救不了韩国，救不了日本……想必也……救不了……
复制:印度电影能够如此大胆创新的情况下，某些观众也只能从三观来获取一些精神胜利了。
