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'.

2022.4.21 上次说涨到8分我就来看 还真涨到8分了那就必须来看了 之前的译名是誓不低头的 不知道为啥突然改成了套装 又看不懂了…唉 为什么年纪越大有些方面的理解能力会有显著提升 但同样的另一些方面就会下降呢…前面还看得比较懂 从说女主是拉方丹的人还是啥就开始混乱了 一混乱就啥都不能理解了…只知道是一个老裁缝计划了好几个月的计划 就在这天男二和男三闯进他房间开始实施 后面干掉了那个家族还有他的儿子 杀手什么的
冷知识：在英国剪裁/裁缝是门大隐隐于市的职业，别惹他们
①过程很精彩，但事后缓过神来一咂摸，觉得不是那么回事——无论生活还是观影，常常有这样的情形，这部电影最大的问题是裁缝闹这么大动静，冒这么大风险的直接动因，并不够有说服力；②表演方面几位主角几乎满分，男主是《间谍之桥》里那个口头禅是「害怕有用吗」的那位苏联间谍，年轻女前台也不错，微表情丰富准确；③创作这种类型的电影，意料之外不难，情理之中不易，吸睛靠的是前者，但后者才真正考验编剧智商。3.75星
所有故事发生在一个裁缝店里，结尾还小小的反转了下，算是不错的小成本黑帮剧情片。
类似希区柯克《夺魂索》式密闭空间悬疑片，只有西服店一个场景，整体总共应该有三次大反转，小反转很多。又有点像黑泽明《用心棒》，义士用言语来挑拨邪恶势力自相残杀。不过最后那个反转实在流俗，隐世高手什么的就很俗，像柯南伯格《暴力史》的后转。
难得看了一部又新 又正常 又好的电影。拍的不完美，尤其是结局，但是显然已经很不错了。小场景悬疑片。
英伦，绅士，西装，犯罪。懂了这是Kingsman
我觉得有点太公式化了吧……前面开篇让我还以为事古天乐那个经典塑料普通话梗，中期破案过程太快了，迅速锁定凶手，于是从破案剧迅速变成了主角的一力破万法，编剧为了拉长剧情只能把反派写的强无敌。。。比当地黑帮大佬猛多了，二人用刀就破了一个杀手群，穿着黑色西装的职业杀手让我觉得就这也能当杀手？门槛太低了吧……黑老大的安保也是搞笑，请来一群人在丧礼上保护自己就这么莫名其妙的被人掳走了，过程简单的发指，而且第二次请来的杀手按理总应该要升级一下了吧……结果一车人死的比第一次还快，几乎毫无还手之力，这真是远不如新世界里请来的延边杀手给力啊，差了大概有一条街的距离。。。最后结束也无感，一个简单的单挑暴虐局，over。。。就这还是韩影今年最大的爆款？这是要被印度超越的节奏啊……
单一场景舞台剧类型电影，有瑕疵，但整体瑕不掩瑜，是不错的电影
3.5星，感觉人物性格是为了剧情推进强行设定的。老头子的演技没法说，精妙绝伦，不愧是莎翁剧出身
说不上来 但我就觉得哪里有点问题 有种强行反转变boss的感觉 他设计的这个局漏洞也太多了
这个系列大有拍到第三部的可能性，已经是今年韩国的票房冠军了。风格与第一部相似，马东锡壮硕的背影出场似乎已经是标配，记得《恶人传》《新世界》就是如此。观影的快感在于过度（暴力）执法，秉持正义的暴力是能带来爽感的，执法者游走在法律边缘的冒犯给人以特殊的体验。马的动作硬朗，力量性与敏捷性结合得很好，过肩背摔、迅捷出拳、辗转腾挪非常敏捷，宣泄释放的快感十足。用电梯运送被治服的罪犯、被从公交车踹出来的江尚海等段落能让人的肾上腺素迅速飙升。暴力血腥场面比重也很有诚意，奇怪的地方在于手上十几条人命的悍匪被一股莫名的喜感消解，破坏了主题的严肃性。消费过度执法没毛病，与此同时娱乐性也过度就得不偿失了。
剧作过于刻意。单论爽度，最后几分钟装逼时刻还是够味的，不够看。马克里朗斯和霍普金斯的体态还有台词都如出一辙，都很优雅，里朗斯甚至赢在露脸少，多了一份新鲜感，神秘感
电影剧情如此不令人信服，但大家都给了很高的分，我确实不理解。
从头到尾只有一个场景却很好看，人人都以为他是NPC，结果他是扫地僧
前有黄政民李政宰《从邪恶中拯救我》泰国大战，再到《犯罪都市2》马东锡孙锡久越南大战，留给韩国演员的东南亚国家不多了。张谦蛋已不在江湖，江湖还留有他的传说。韩国这类商业片拍得纯熟，每次都有一个十足疯逼的反派，这是最重要的。

男主角演技太强了，演技感觉像天神下凡，就一个房间的故事好像都可以拍的很不错
7分。其实整体套路跟第一部类似，还是无人性的残暴悍匪与超级英雄一样的马东锡，动作+喜剧这样的设定，作为商业片可看度还是可以的。马东锡完全是超级英雄的拍法，过于强大，韩国战熊，观众也是奔着解恨去的，所以也可以。此外，孙锡久是真不错，演这种角色也能这么带劲。
音乐给力！老演员给力！反转给力！这电影有去年小人物那味了
