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'.

伪纪录片的形式确实很能增加真实感和代入感。里面的内容也是跟宗教信仰有关的，就是说有本土的东西在里面，其实是很不错的恐怖片了。
尼玛 除了密集恐惧有点到位 别的都是啥啊 一次失败的“伪纪录片”尝试 让人入戏困难
在影片与观众的交互上处理的相当好，咒语、图案和频闪下的视觉暂留，已经成功的在影片外部传达了恐惧的因子，其带来的讨论热度及衍生效应要远超Jump scare的惊悚瞬间。真正的败笔之处在于无法赋予影像以合理性——无处不在的摄像机消解了「伪纪录片」负载的临场感，演员处于一种「真实」和排演间的模糊地带，全知视角直接摧毁了主观影像纪录的效力，于前所做的一切铺垫可以说是自废武功。
民俗部分还行
我觉得是最近几年看过最好看的恐怖片，值得满分，给未来的恐怖片提供了一个新思路，就是沉浸式观影，玩弄了一把观众后让观众冷汗直冒。看完之后感觉我需要去看新闻联播缓解一下我受伤的心灵
一般。伪纪录片的形式可以说是毫无必要，而且很多地方刻意地第一人称拍摄，反而让我出戏。也不咋恐怖，本人经历过太多恐怖片洗礼，看这个全程放松不紧绷。两个小时中唯一稍微有点吓人的时刻还是主角准备播放洞穴里的影片的时候，我的硬盘突然接触不良黑屏了hhhhh
满心欢喜看一部电影，却好像吃了一只苍蝇，晦气。
富强、民主、文明、和谐、自由、平等、公正、法治，爱国、敬业、诚信、友善。打倒封建迷信！密恐本人没看细看几个点！总的来说还不错，六分左右了，比哭悲好一点，恐怖片要那种让人回味无穷的而不是生理恶心的。
真的算是千呼万唤的年度恐怖片，还算是有一些新意在，但是混乱的剪辑真的观感很差，大半时间都处于理不清故事线的状态，预告片名场面“大嫂冲刺”在正片里，确实让人全程菊紧，依然被吓到。小孩身上的莲蓬伤口，也引起观感不适，可以感受到导演豁出去的想恶心观众了；对于大家说的“晦气”，还好吧，我全程都没记住她那句咒语，因为最后俩字我不认识，她念了好几遍，我也没记住最后俩字，哈哈。
是真的恐怖，伪纪录片式华语片让人极具代入感。一个人也要窝在家，熄灯拉窗帘，氛围感不要太好——硬是让我分了三个晚上才敢看完捂( ･⊝･∞)。
这不就是一个“不点赞就倒霉”的帖吗？
这女主太让人炸毛了，我说的是电影里，其他的不晓得。
极度不推荐。尽管全程持“大白伞盖佛母咒”护体，但看到最后还是觉得晦气。这种全程心理暗示玩观众的做法，就算都是导演瞎编的，只要相信的人多了，一样有影响。这个导演，要么坏，要么蠢。
設定了一個含糊不清的宗教，卻硬是想把宗教的背景作為謎底，相當令人出戲。
成功的恐怖片都是调动了观众对情节背景的信任的，让观众认为影片非全部虚构。从这么多评分者相信电影是在传播诅咒，可见电影在取得观众信任上是很成功的。
首先，一定有很多人会为这个结局打低分。然后，其实这个算是一个伪纪录片形式的恐怖片，以邪教为切入点，讲述诅咒和民俗的怪力乱神。本片的片名是《咒》，再加一个这个参考《午夜凶铃》的包装，以提升沉浸式体验感，很损但还是很奏效，可以想象一堆人黑着脸，或一脸害怕，心里骂骂咧咧地走出影院的场景。但是，这还是近年把亚洲恐怖元素讲得比较好的作品，很难得，也能看到导演的用心。希望亚洲恐怖片，能够再度崛起！
看之前被朋友提示不要跟着在心里念咒，所以我早有防备，但那咒语太好记了，也许得怪我脑子好用。到了结尾我迅速闭眼捂耳阻止那漫长的图咒攻击，却还是在午夜上号阴阳师时连抽两个末吉。怎么说呢，作为恐怖片，我觉得它是有一定的胆量和创意的，虽然在伪纪录片的处理方面有过多肉眼可见的刻意。但觉得拥趸们也无法责怪觉得“晦气”的观众，敢看与爱看恐怖片的不只有唯物者，心理暗示是种体验，但刻意欺骗+强烈引导就让人觉得如芒刺背了。现在我只想靠反复默念六字真言忘掉那咒语。
伪纪录片，创造的真实，本质上还是伪，即使代入其中，也会很自然的跳出来，即使影片还没结束。期待很高，实际上并没有新的东西，反而让我觉得让小孩去参与这种影片太残忍，用恐怖片去纪念自己逝去的小孩真的好吗？何况还是以这样一个诅咒扩散稀释的形式，可怜人非要这样转移伤痛去减轻自己的负担，最终负罪心理受苦的还是自己。。。
真的是服了……一直被女主这个自私又蠢到家的女人带节奏….你是在拍真人秀吗…..看完电影有一种吃了屎的感觉…
看恐怖片目的是增加自己的情绪波动 这片做到了 万谢
