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'.

美国再这样左下去，迟早变低智商国家。优秀白人也活不成。
6.0/10 糖果人的概念再延展泛化，将其形象的产生和整个美国黑人群体的苦难史挂钩也煽动性十足，但是《糖果人》终究是给被压迫者的精神鸦片还是革命指导理论，导演却始终不敢给出一个答案。
爽!blm的历史环境下，好电影也有，烂电影也有，本片肯定是属于有想法的那类，视听和节奏像浓稠甜腻的candy，文艺片的气质却在杀伐决断上干净利落，画廊老板、白人评论家、校霸太妹、种族歧视警察四次霸凌者之死优雅不失骇人，怎么能不拍案叫绝
竟然是克里夫巴克的作品，但拍的很一般啊。既不让人回味，也没有什么悬念
我想怎么满大街都是九几年的糖果人的资源，原来是新作。不算翻拍，其实是延续之前的故事，用黑人嘴里的传说+剪影带出之前女主、黑人母子和糖果人的故事，这部的男主原来就是之前的小婴儿。糖果人几次出来杀人其实都是捕风捉影式的，本身并没有怎么现身，而男主后来变成了糖果人，其实整个逻辑也不太清晰。整部片子也是说明黑人境地，但有点太刻意。
被预告片吸引，在下线前终于去看了。种族题材恐怖片，恐怖的是根植于人心里的歧视。每个人看着镜子里反射的自己，看到的是内心深处最黑暗的东西和个人身份所带来的阴影。镜头运动和画面都很拿得出手，室内装潢好像翻看家居画册。剪纸的叙事手法我好喜欢，风格特别鲜明。（这边还是建议受伤后立即就医，不要拖延。）
抛开政治方面，单从电影观感切入，这部电影着实有许多槽点。在电影一个小时才迎来第一个高潮，接着就是片尾的小高潮。所以看完之后我以为我看了好几个小时，然而电影只有90分钟。另外我觉得逻辑方面也有些不同，手烂了不去看医生，禁区遇到黑人你不觉得可疑吗？当然导演对于构图和镜面的使用非常不错，真的也只有画面能看看了。
影片结束后，电影院里边笑边喊"candyman"的声音此起彼伏，足见本片作为“恐怖片”来讲有多么失败。
里面类似于鬼镜这种新的设定挺有趣的，半遮半掩的惊悚也比老版本更有感觉。面部镜头下呆滞严肃的表情，很是有“黑人恐怖片”的诡异感。里面蜂蛰手和职位的纽带也很有细节感，随着剧情推进，你会发现本片更像是续集而不是重启。后面高潮部分，密集恐怖再升级，一种wtf的震惊！对于种族歧视问题有更深的探讨，到最后candyman变成一种态度，一种抗争手段，一种精神，讽刺意味很深。虽然结尾有老糖果人的惊喜回归，但车内场景戛然而止该多好，那样子主题会更深刻。影片整体是很好的，但和老版本一样不够惊艳，存在一些不合逻辑且直白的地方，比如厕所集体赴死。
1星，隐喻过于露骨，糖果人成了黑人的守护神，以暴制暴的简单思想，充斥的影片。
视觉重口味Urban legend，没头没尾的种族正义战士的故事令人乏味，但是如果他是种族战士，为什么又不分黑白除了女主之外全场通杀呢？？
整体是原作的故事续集，却丝毫没有延续到任何原作的精神价值，虽然想继承同样的“痛苦美学”，探讨其中的社会结构和黑人的处境，但故事流水线，情感迸发太突兀，什么东西都似乎是口头上的言说，男主并没有放在一个特殊的位置，相较于原版精彩的故事框架和女主难言至深的处境，这里实在显得太单薄了，恐怖程度也很弱，即使前有珠玉，也是后呈匮乏，实属遗憾
服装 霓虹 画面构图 和一些细枝末节
糖果人不是一个人，是很多个受压迫歧视的黑人组成。不太恐怖，比较一般的都市传说。
3星半，当做恐怖爽片不错，挖掘意蕴就毁誉参半了
乔丹皮尔剧作的最大特点也是影片评论家所说的“太过直白激进”，从《逃出绝命镇》的新奇刺激到《我们》的还行，最后到这部彻底乏味，部分害怕氛围营造还行，但是全片的政治正确，种族主义，black lives matter的论调真是让人反感。
有著許多血腥暴力的情節，在考察電影的分級尺度，幾場戲都技巧性地遮蔽或帶過的情況下，讓處在鏡中世界裏的糖果人突然現身攻擊角色，給觀眾帶來突如其來驚嚇的設計。尤其是藝評家受害的那場戲，原本以為逃過一劫卻在拉遠的畫面中遭到殘忍屠殺，也更加深“糖果人”的神秘和給人帶來的壓迫感。
好好讲一个带有悲剧色彩的都市传说不好么？试图加太多元素进入，反而搞得奇奇怪怪…
对第一部Candyman的继承和诠释很棒，乃至有点儿刻板……那些吐槽本片嫌弃黑人影人反复讲述种族问题的评论，恰为电影的核心主题“黑人苦痛被消声只能化为candyman的符号”做了绝佳注脚：冲着恐怖电影来的观众是最糟的观众，他们只想被装神弄鬼吓到，却对真实的人间苦痛嗤之以鼻。
