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'.

娱乐至上的基调，反传统的手法，明快的节奏掌控，使DC的《X特遣队：全员集结》这次带来了一种完全不同的观感体验，而这种改变很大程度上应该得益于詹姆斯·古恩的执导，他对超英群像的驾驭力早在《银河护卫队》中就已经得到了证明，更何况这次且得益于角色亦正亦邪的属性，使创作本身完全没有了先天的桎梏。
星味少了些，好在有滚导音乐和趣味的加持，印象最深的肯定是鲨鱼萌萌
为啥到了超级英雄电影里美国都不忘找理由武力干涉别国？
炫彩、朋克、恶趣味，DC就该放下身段，走野蛮怪咖路线，随时组队随时解散，通心粉式爽翻。
实在想不明白科技都能发展到复制本体复制记忆了 却还是搞不定一个脑瘤
天呐，实在太过时了，不管是科幻概念还是镜头语言都应该是短片承载的量。APPLE+最近出品的片子或多或少都强调AI未来，这到底是何必呢
快半年没一个人在家看电影了，我可太喜欢这种血腥喜剧片了，老美在电影工业方面是厉害啊👍🏻
直到一群穿西装的闸总在那拍桌：这片得有一个cgi「大」反派 让观众知道我们掏钱了
真的一股苹果味，高级，政治正确，但也高级到无聊
34分50秒出现了彩“蛋”注定了这是个不正经的DC漫改片，全程特别漫威味。这个派大星，感染越多威力越大，人类毫无抵抗力，老鼠对其免疫，像不像某病毒？滚导特别指出，这是美国人发现并送到国外研究感染，他是不是映射着什么？哈哈哈。7
该拿捏住的地方拿捏住了，搞笑频繁（虽然很少有真正好笑的地方），也有安排一些小小的出乎意料的转折。中规中矩罢了，评分怎么这么高呢？
唯有爱是永恒
202201le。从汽车到游戏，像是苹果未来几年产品的大展示。电影主题很好，但拍得实在是浅了点。
我发现我确实不爱这种片，尤其还那么多老鼠。
群像戏确实拍得好看，每个角色都有亮点，无论是人物性格还是技能展示都非常出色，上校、和平使者、血腥运动这三个角色的理念争斗浓缩在硬盘抢夺战上，鲨鱼负责可爱，哈利奎因算是传统招牌，总体来说这电影能拍出这效果还是多亏了滚导，华纳本身是真的不行。
当然了，估计还有不少人关注这部电影，原因应该和自黑有关。片中对于政治阴谋的袒露，对于美国霸权主义的嘲讽，应该会让不少美国右派的极端分子脸红吧。不过这一点其实倒不是最重要的，只是上了价值观了，属于商业片的常规操作，最值得玩味的还是喜剧手法，这个很赞。
可问题也就在这儿，每个人物性格描绘的都有点不够完完善，或者完全比如说小丑女。开始的时候杀人，杀了总统，中间的时候又把那天还在人全部干掉，结尾就没什么事儿了，最后一个标枪再出来一下。整个这个人物红光人物断裂特明显。
片中从建筑到汽车以至虚拟显示屏的UI界面全部走了极简设计路线，很漂亮。
我将再次展开我的翅翼
讲真，不要被烂片名和低豆瓣评分而蒙蔽双眼，用你的眼光去看它，再去评价它，它是一部好电影，是的，关于人生、生命的思考！
