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'.

托互联科技爬虫多的福气，影片唯恐细节少一点都不像次世代，玩梗却丝毫不及《无敌破坏王2》，影片无论从审美还是创意，人物或者叙事，都非常之平庸，通篇充满疲惫感，看来对迪士尼而言，《超能陆战队》和《疯狂动物城》真的只能是灵光乍现，不过看在隔壁大师班这两年的答卷，创意管理真的没问题吗？简直成了育碧年货，fine，感动常在
3.5，结尾有点强行让小白消失，明明可以存在硬盘里，也可以存在云端里。被摔坏的机器人是最通人性的，设定也太哆啦A梦了。说到底还是人类与科技的关系，是被奴役，还是做朋友。
Dave居然背着玻璃动物的其他三位赚外快！！！
顽固又易碎，落寞又繁华，聒噪又虚无。
Once upon a time in Napoli，少年索伦蒂诺的自传。美好而粗粝、杂乱却也鲜活的那不勒斯，寄托着这位天才创作者最柔软的眷念，最动情的回忆，固然还有最本源的自我。
2、只有失去，才能长大，亲人是这样，ZC也是；
这是什么高级电影，我评不了了，最大的浪漫的确是一种不熟悉的夏天，尝出了青春永恒的伤痛，一层一层，一片一片
2、只有失去，才能长大，亲人是这样，ZC也是；
3.5
结尾强行让编程人失去自己编程的朋友岂有此理
不想打星了，关于青春的回忆，没有触动到我。呆梨电影还是非常古典的状态，沉重。
所谓的讽刺浮于表面，其实主角也不算是怪小孩，设定总有种和手机做朋友的感觉，用别的机器代替自己的机器被销毁这点一下让我观感很差
我不认为这是给普通人看的电影…不熟悉南欧文化、也不是电影人，找不到共情。不知道大师要表达啥。
a bit slow in the first half and almost quit at the seemingly mrs. Robinson moment.. some interesting cinematography choices. the protagonist bears so much resemblance to Timothee C, a little distracting.. But emotions are strong, conflicted, and intertwined joy and pain, totally captivating.
可是我还是想要选择机器人，就如同我永远想要选择小动物。
p.s.中间两个人的“绝交”好可爱，就像小朋友吵架

乐此不疲徜徉在字节闪烁的多巴胺海洋里，
主题有点混乱，所以是想表达跟机器人也可以交朋友？还是探讨朋友是什么但最后还是和机器人交朋友？
