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'.

只按女权理解是不是也格局小了。整体真不错，最后的1v1嗓子吊心口。
要说能克隆，还能编辑基因去掉致病基因而不能治疗现有病症，我是不信的。好吧，讨论的不是技术层面。然而克隆了这一次也不是不老不死。克隆的出发点是规避痛苦，但可以躲掉这次的痛苦，还能躲掉以后的悲痛么？说不定克隆人第二天就被车撞了呢？所以如果是我的话是不会选择克隆自己的
实属洪尚秀和黑泽明合拍版角斗士了。雷老头真的牛逼这个岁数了还搞的出精雕细琢版小格局史诗。/7.9
集大成的極簡電影作品，優秀地利用和展示了多重感觀緯度，和不怎麼複雜卻永遠新鮮的愛的主題。導演在諸多細節上把控完美，allbirds的鞋，frank ocean的歌，ui的質感和動效，山間的雕刻石凳，松林里的滴答雨聲共同組成了一組恆定的靜謐氣氛。--很慶幸這次是自己戴了耳機獨自觀看影片，可以深深沉浸到那個接近空白的極簡空間，盯著孩子的眼睛去回憶一段時間。😭
作为科幻的创意不算新鲜，但故事重点更多在人文情怀。这类未来科技走进平常人生活的故事相比前些年已经大量淡化了惊悚元素、更多以理性的态度来探讨科技的影响，可以说未来即是现在。
“罗生门”结构的呈现，三个视角下是统一的主线和因立场不同产生的微妙差异。从妻子视角，明确呈现了时代背景下女性的财产属性。最令人印象深刻的镜头，其一是卡鲁日与玛格丽特的爸爸谈嫁妆的场景，其二是决斗时树上黑压压爬满的围观人群和决斗结束后山呼海啸的“万岁”之声。这欢呼声中我能听出两种不同的声音，来自兄弟的声音意思是“干得好，哥们，打得精彩”，无论谁获胜，都是一样的欢呼；来自姐妹的声音，我相信这才是由衷的欢呼，是为一位受到上帝保佑免于被烧死的姐妹的欢呼。
故事三星，阿里的表演加一星。将死之人的愿望，能够让最爱的人不必面对自己离去的巨大痛苦，由另一个“我”继续守护她们。阿里几乎要超越丹佐，成为我最喜欢的少数族裔男演员了，这个表演是绝对可以拿奖的水准。
精美、恢弘的中世纪史诗，技术和审美上已经足够优秀，再加上这个很好的剧本实在挑不出毛病。男性武力压迫下女性的反抗，朱迪·科默slay！畅快淋漓的决斗，是男性的宣誓主权，是旧时代女性的悲叹，但跳出电影中的背景来看，也许是导演诠释下女性觉醒的宣告。很精彩！
软科幻轻伦理，主动被所爱之人遗忘是最痛苦的事。
我曾为之哭泣，那是一曲天鹅绝响
20210807预告片；20211211，罗生门的三段体，但自我感觉没领会到导演试图表达的真实情感，6分；为配合全片氛围，色调灰暗，白天也是阴天
挺好看的，朱迪科莫古装很美。几点感想：1.意识是主观的。2.男人真的很自大。3.女人说不的时候意思就是不，望周知。4司机不是真的爱玛格丽特。5.无论在哪封建专制都是害人的东西，而在这个体制内女人注定是牺牲品。
对于男人而言，就算思想意识甚至于灵魂完全一样，那也是另外一个肉体，这不是简单的爱自己还是家人的抉择问题。
决斗的时候
一篇伦理学考试的超高分作文吧。在这种格局下，把情感处境和艰难抉择表现（表演）得相当不错。弱势也在于软科幻设定格局，不可能有《返老还童》那样的展开空间。
两个不同的直男活在自己想象中的伟岸image造成的悲剧。pc的痕迹有点太重，有点刻意了。
多角度叙事，更有立体感，但稍显冗长。前面的沉闷，是为最后的迸发作铺垫。女性受男性凌辱，不仅被同性谴责，还要受男权的审判。人性的虚伪，表露无遗。
坚韧 理智
最后，落到了metoo的女权主义，实在是太陈旧了。
挺老套的主题，也并没有什么新颖的演绎。表现力足够，缓慢细腻不显拖沓。研究所和家庭的装修都是我的菜。非常想知道研究所的外景地在哪里，好美。
