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'.

说句实话，虽然都是亚洲人，但是逻辑思维果然不一样啊。
Last of the Wolves 2021 1080p BluRay x264
本来时隔好久已经把孤狼1的内容忘掉了。结果重回开一看感觉又有那味了。
林音之死没有讲清楚。其他很好，悬念的两次反转很有冲击力，演员的人物刻画都很棒，尤其男主的气质算是印象深刻。画面和调光调色都很棒，很多画面都非常舒服。
没有了役所广司，靠村长硬撑起一整部片有点费劲，但作为极道类型片，依然拍得有滋有味，希望这个系列不要停。
这是换了个傻编剧吗？剧情太扯淡了。警察和卧底在公共场合大摇大摆的见面，姐姐的场子是尾谷组罩着的然后弟弟跑去对头那里当卧底？十年脑血栓也想不出来这样的设定啊
节奏比第一部拖沓，整体营造的无力感十分到位，角色众多也没有得到比上一部更加全面的刻画.
这一部把黑社会都演成傻子了 不明不白上林就上位了 不知道怎么演的 和第一部差太多
事实上电影本身就是文艺片，没有《烈日灼心》那种窒息感。
没有第一部那样的情感爆发来得过瘾，对决的理由有些立不住，总之就是简单粗暴的打，但是看众演员飙戏还是蛮爽的，配乐也很好听
最悬疑的就是两个网红脸长得极其相似，哎，两个小时，我真的醉了，节奏慢并且没有什么高潮，而且两个小时的剧情，你会发现上面的人物并没有刻画的很细腻！太多废镜头！但这个林音真的太像我ex，很出戏。多加一星，鼓励下
这部并不是柚月裕子写的第二部《凶犬之眼》改编的电影，所以比起第一部《孤狼之血》在故事性上差远了，但血腥场面升级了。切手指都是小事，挖眼球才让人作呕，那画面真是不敢看。故事结尾处两个人火拼的场景就像两个小孩子在打架十分搞笑。要说优点，那只有演员了。铃木亮平的演技非常好，其他作品里都是好爸爸、好哥哥的角色。在这部电影里把一个单细胞的杀人不眨眼的黑帮混混演的活灵活现。看样子《凶犬之眼》、《暴虎之牙》这2本小说拍成电影只是时间问题了。
研读日记、调查妓女前文工团舞蹈演员、拜访退休老警察获得生还受害者录音证词，画出连环杀手肖像，却是被枪杀死者；
人的口味真的会随年龄变化。
男主特意留胡子可还是一脸男娼弱鸡像，完全没有前作那种故善其身的气质。立本popo残废虽是老传统了，但反派整个就一连环BT，剧情展开完全就是想到哪算哪。
3.5吧，与第一部比，内容上并没有太大的提升，其实还是一部黑白通吃的警察践行自己心中的“正义”，画面倒是延续了第一部的血腥和暴力，最后他看见的狼大概是心中前辈的对他的肯定吧。
最后，这片名不说还以为石黑一雄的小说拍电影了，多少有点蹭。Y
剧情完全没有逻辑，人物动机也不对，简直就是全员弱智
很好的续集，暗黑杨宗纬还有sl500大白奔驰！
果然年轻学人玩制衡，都是一厢情愿的。还没练就老奸巨猾 又舍弃了年轻热血，不尴不尬的年纪，不温不火的时代。需要一些出格的刺激和别有用心的安排才能引人耳目。至此，系列已从昭和转至平成，再往下拍不下去了。因为令和的精致和内敛已容不下来自遥远昭和年代的粗犷和跋扈了。
