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'.

女主大有可为，但故事没有吸引力。看了好几周了，补一记。
这片的惊艳在于反差，你印象里那个印度是女性连上厕所，用卫生巾都困难，处处受到传统性别歧视或是性侵威胁的国家，曾经却有一位如此的神女在世。感觉我们还是落后了……
7.4，不错的捍卫女性和特殊职业尊严的电影，节奏上乱了一点，要把人的传记在两个多小时讲清楚确实不容易。
开始不能理解，她明明是被拐卖变成妓女的，为什么最后还要要求卖淫合法化？后来想想，可能在这样的时代和社会背景下，尽力了也只能保住身边人吧。
依靠男性让其他女性能够活成不依靠男性的人，身为弱势群体的无可奈何。既然规则毫无公平可言，那就好好利用规则。
从妓院走出来的孟买女帝~
看完也更觉得 平权才是真正的权益
虽然是逻辑感不强的大女主爽片，但题材不错，立意动人，女主也蛮好看的。
我从未见过如此杰克苏的女人。 我一度就想成为这种翘着二郎腿男女都调戏一下的女的，后来知道学名叫流氓。 人物确实扁平又工具，但伪女权的说法太过苛责，已经是无限强励志了，大佬的妹妹也不是谁都能当，起码先被剖个腹再有不怵的胆气。 最奇特的部分，也是缝合怪印度片的通病，就是他纯爱部分竟然拍的很牛逼，车里那段太牛逼了，别说女性主题了，就这段玛丽苏的调情戏姆们都拍不出来。 最后挺解气的就是，终于有为了大义牺牲男友的桥段了，不错，杨玉环直呼过瘾。
大女主爽片。女主真的是很美，一袭白色的纱丽配上她小巧脸蛋上的黑色十字架，真的是女神下凡。电影里的场景转换很快，每个场景都精心设计，一共有三场舞蹈，都很动人。其实不太能理解她放弃自己的爱情去解救一个有妓女母亲的女孩，虽然赢得了选举但是也牺牲了自己的幸福。甘古拜的大哥和记者都是她的贵人，让她成为红灯区4000名女性的保护伞。这也是一部女性呼吁平权的电影。
就最后有点扯 其他都还不错 能拍出大女主电影～印度也是不容易了
故事挺不错的，唯一不能理解的是，被男友一千卢比卖掉的女主，为什么还会轻易喜欢上一个小白脸。真的是轻易，一见钟情那种。
印度片一般充满了歌舞，至少在我来看比较肤浅，这一部却特别，一改以往的表面、歌舞花样、肤浅和苍白，变得深沉、克制、有力量。不仅从女性女权的意义上，而是从人的意义上，从尊严、文明的意义上，这片子是好片子，而且从励志，从人性的角度上，也是挖掘得很不错的片子。
女主好漂亮哦，和近期那个热门国产电视剧比起来真的好有意思哦
女主好漂亮哦，和近期那个热门国产电视剧比起来真的好有意思哦
女主的目的是保护女孩 特别费劲见到总理后提要求：卖淫合法化
对男人极度不信任+反感。由于她被男朋友卖了？
但某一方面他的内核又和最近看的《孽子》异曲同工，一些边缘人群能够被接纳可以融入的只有他们所在的这个群体。社会大众层面一直弃如敝履
年度最佳！！！ 女主的演技非常出色，一颦一笑扣人心弦，尤其喜欢她那霸气的情感调情，她的光芒，狮子一般的光芒万丈，每个人内心都有甘古拜，而她活出了她传奇般的一生。荣耀，夺目，王者般的气质，胜利者的荣誉。 “我们的孩子将受到受教育的权利，我们将获得有尊严地生活在社会中的权利！”直接泪目。
1.前区长好像一个男人哦┐(‘～`；)┌
