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'.

《锡尔弗顿之围》根据真实事件改编，影片前半段铺垫过于冗长，最后一幕推向高潮后戛然而止，导演没有过多渲染黑人处境在隔离制度下的凄惨，全靠细节和状态侧面表达，手法细腻，影片整体拍摄还算流畅，追逐戏镜头一气呵成。虽然这部影片集剧情惊悚、动作冲击、视觉特效于一体，但是这部影片给我的感觉很怪异，既展示了种族矛盾又塑造了一种人人友爱的环境，与其说是一部犯罪型影片，更像是一部说教大戏。
故事没意思，整体拍得还可以。节奏挺紧凑的。
自由的代价是非常昂贵的，除了需要得到绝大多数人的支持，而且还需要革命者牺牲。
真是一个宝藏女孩！
前面拍的不错，节奏拿捏到位，差点以为又是一部《热天午后》，但后面就垮下来了。
。她喜欢的是BL，而不是作为同志的我，两个人都在自欺欺人，我也在欺骗自己。神尾枫珠的颜值在这里成了阻碍，一看就是校园风云人物啊。想到之前看过的一部剧《腐女无意间跟Gay告白》，那部情感处理更好。
其实改编的不错，虽然三个人人物设计有所重合，但是整体上各个人以及各个人的角色产生了一定的平衡，只有平衡才能让事件情节完整地推进下去并使得屏幕里的这场劫持让人相信。
只有女主受伤的世界达成了(嘛……
那么问题来了，为什么豆瓣演员条目里没有黑人演员和导演？
“不惜一切代价”是一个非常阴森恐怖的词，因为总有些代价是你不愿意付出的，也因此所谓的“代价”往往都是来自别人被忽悠或者被裹挟或者被迫付出的，比如民众的生命和韭菜的财富，不一而足。久而久之，你会发现原来口号里可以付出一切代价来换取的东西，早已经没有那些代价真正有价值了，而那个东西只对你自己有益。
如果世界上没有偏见和歧视，所有人类都团结起来，这个世界会是怎样的？
班会和表彰大会的剧情让人手脚蜷缩，味儿太正了。全片最精华的台词：「现在，漫画、电视剧之类常出现同性恋设定，大家装出一副理解的样子，然而实际出现在面前，不还是充满好奇？难道没有把他代入某个角色看待吗？」
这是最近难得值得我推荐的电影，什么时候老约翰·布朗的最后时刻也拍成这样的悲壮，就对了。
没有断在中间！后面有好好讨论和用心感受男主的心理和感受。男同学质问男主好友你今天不也没摸他鸡鸡嘛你不也在知情后改变了怎么对他嘛 说得好在理。演得不好的是男主在病床上的自白 演得没感情啊。（其实应该四星但是从头到尾好几次笑出来和甜甜的女孩子都很喜欢）
What’s the price of freedom?
南非的主旋律影片，拍摄质感不错，后面略多煽情，但是苦大仇深的的南非黑人一定会留下非常激动地的泪水。 说革命也好，说争自由也罢，这些都是冠冕堂皇的高帽。就是底层黑人造反当家做主了，无论何时大革命的起因就是高层制度对广大穷苦人民的压迫，致使底层誓死反抗。 从斯巴达斯奴隶起义到德国农民起义三战争自古如此， 就像影片里的南非，原本在白人统治下已经是“准发达”国家，但再怎么发达黑人也未能从中获益，那黑人就得闹、折腾。 应了孔子的名言：人之患不在于贫富，而在于不均。 今天的南非是一天不如一天了，但白人不再是高高在上了，黑人也就不闹了
2022.5.*南非黑人反政府组织逃亡入银行后要求释放曼德拉
好好活下去的唯一办法，
三个恐怖分子为了自由，不被人种压迫，制造动乱。被队友出卖后逃到银行。最终放了人质，自己战死
生命诚可贵，爱情价更高。若为自由故，两者皆可抛。所以自由的代价就是失去一切！
