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'.

事实上是纽特和小动物戏份给足我就会很满意，但没有想到最尬的是GGAD
你是对的。我们的生命，很早很早之前就已经被毁掉了。”——《通信集》
虽然感觉跟神奇动物已经没啥关系了 但还挺喜欢这次构建的世界观 而且隔了太久没看打斗场面也真香啊
6.0/散 特别散 而且不知道我看的屏幕不咋好 帧率太高我觉得没有电影感
本以为有了《神奇动物：格林德沃之罪》的票房口碑双失利，J. K. 罗琳和主创团队能吸取教训、力挽狂澜，拍出更好的《神奇动物：邓布利多之谜》，结果，这一部却成了我八部《哈利·波特》与三部《神奇动物》电影中个人观感最差的一部（要不是之前十部我都有在影院观影，看到这一部豆瓣才6.1分，我都不太想买票了）。期待的魔法、神奇动物戏份较少，取而代之的却是不少冗长无趣甚至与主线故事脱节的对话（小说这么写也许能丰富人物性格，但电影那样编排于我挺拖沓的），看得我一度困意来袭、差点睡去，都想倍速播放或直接快进了。此前费尽心思铺垫的麒麟以为后续会发挥啥大作用？结果，就这？我真是失望到了！邓布利多与格林德沃之间的感情戏也比我预期来得少！
麻瓜社会有吃瓜群众，魔法世界有吃瓜魔法师，谁也别瞧不上谁。不过从大佬到喽啰，魔法师衣品优雅有目共睹。
大卫·叶茨应该想想他拍完这个系列后，还会有人找他做导演吗？场面都铺垫出来了，结果每每刚到高潮就戛然而止。邓布利多和格林德沃的故事线，满足了CP党，但在拍摄上却把视角不断压缩，最后的大战在平行空间里呈现，令整个大场面被撕得粉碎。凌乱不堪的故事主线，只剩下演员们真情实感地傻傻努力。
比第二部要好，但是没有第一部那么完整。麦叔顶了德普之后，这对官配立刻攻受分明起来，虽然感到演员自身应该是想回避这种感情演绎的，但剧本浓度太足，一整个欲盖弥彰之下，粉红泡泡反而更加明显，也一路疾驰到一种近似同人文的境界，最后更用互摸胸来解决世界危机(所谓❤️邓布利多的秘密❤️)，也是还蛮目瞪口呆渴死我了怪叫的。虽然尖锐的部分仍然是要观众自行联想到现实时代背景才能意会，但个人还蛮喜欢这种make love no war的政治童话故事，更何况罗琳还是能中和完全瞎掰和幻想间的调性，看的这么开心的原因可能还是现实中难以解决的事情太多了，要是左右互搏的人类也摸摸彼此的胸就解决一切纷争、不牺牲任何一个无辜的人该多好。3.5归4。
终终终于去看了神奇动物3（一大堆影评说是大烂片，不敢去看，其实就…还好）片尾最后一幕真的是刀：纽约的雪夜，孤零零一个人坐在夜幕下的长椅上，雪花落寞的在身边飘下。马路对面是灯火通明的面包店，里面欢声笑语，空气里都是甜的。血盟已碎，终于没有借口不去正面对抗自己曾经的爱人了。
大卫椰子请滚出魔法世界，不要再用你贫瘠的想象力和粗糙的视听语言毁梦了！华纳已死！逻辑稀烂，主客颠倒，情节拼凑，人设崩塌，重点不清…几乎挑不出个优点，感谢老汉替演（不过老汉上一次来魔法世界也是个工具人，就这么烂的剧情感情线全靠演技托着）。总结为四个字——什么玩意！五年前前传出来的时候，绝对想不到会是这么个走势😭
好像是第一次给一星的电影，当然还有很多该打零分的我都没评分。短评比电影有意思多了。
夸不出口（。第二部的哥哥还看上去像是职高辍学会打老婆的体力工人 这一部突然变贵好多！像是会在贵族男高里霸凌nerd基佬的资本主义渣滓了（？
可能这个ip现在只适合在圣诞节当个合家欢电影了吧，拍得还不如某些圣诞特辑呢
这个系列走向逐渐DC化：金牌IP，铁粉无数，叙事稀烂，彩蛋救市。对我来说，全片唯一的亮点是那句“还有谁会爱你！”，对于家属（十级哈迷）来说，唯一的亮点：那个美女不会是麦格教授吧……卧槽，真的是麦格教授。
纽特的扭扭舞萌死啦 克莱登斯用完即弃费力不讨好的大冤种 埃兹拉米勒也需要息影休息 麒麟小鹿斑比 Tina好瘦 缴械咒摸胸电焊四射 格林德沃灰太狼我还会在回来的 奎妮和天选麻瓜要幸福的在一起呀

删减几秒，愣是把“邓布利多之谜”给删没了。
和第二部犯了几乎一样的毛病，就是未能在大的框架向前推进时，讲好一个小的单元剧，哈利波特系列做得就要好得多。
年龄这么大了第一次看首映，感觉年龄大了熬夜看电影真的会猝死，回家差不多应该三点半了吧，害怕明天起不来上班，想睡一会但是imax场真的吵的闹腾。
你们改名叫神奇txl在哪里好了，反正也没有多少动物。
