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'.

之前看过和这个剧情一样题材的电影。不错有笑有泪有讽刺有深意有内涵。
上世纪八十年代，一个发生在波兰的故事。按照被换掉的总检察官的话来说，本来这事也就是处理几个乡巴佬的问题，但某些人就是不愿意。于是他们在错误的道路上越走越远，用更多的错误来掩盖错误，使得已经消失在公众视野中的人又重回中心。看起来整件事情很愚蠢，但那些人不觉得，他们因为手中的力量，变得无比傲慢。从历史的维度来说，这些人不可能永远不可一世，但从个人的角度来说，也许有的人就因此付出了一生。单看这段话，你可能以为我在说最近的某件事，但其实我在说电影。历史上的事就是如此相似，不可能完全不留痕迹。电影时长过长了，最后还展现庭审细节，似乎不太必要。
被关在屋里的人类仿佛都没有智商
以及真的没必要加海啸强拉高度，因为喜欢大海就安排葬身大海？纯爱就请只聊纯爱！灾后重建与个体自愈这个点可以单独拍电影！

但除此之外一切都很棒，要是能在电影院观赏就好了
从未想过是311题材的电影，Minami和Yuki的戏份尚可，小濑村晶的配乐一如既往的惊艳，唯一不太满意的可能就是中川了吧，连着两部都是怀念已逝之人的电影，但是在镜头和节奏的调度上好像并没有多大进步。
用科技毁了世界，又用科技建成乐园。并不认为有早期《黑镜》那样的深度思考，只是导演在玩人工智能。
再宽容也忍不住差评 烂到令人发指 令人无时无刻后悔观影所浪费的时间 靠滨边美波和百合隐喻的海报把人骗进来折磨 3倍速都嫌无聊 片子的每分每秒都狂喊着编、导无能
感觉故事真的好漫长……开场前主持人介绍说这是波兰人都知道的事件，所以可能波兰人看着不会这么闷？本来以为是逃亡害怕被发现的故事，但是其实就是政府和主角一方互相拉扯的故事。政府官员都有点脸谱化，不过那个军队司令官挺传神的，然后那个妈妈也很生动。回想起来感觉最喜欢那些吃东西的片段……
其实很好看（就娱乐性而言），但是题材确实太老套了，人类机器人和动物三种元素的性质交合使用的科幻构思一点也不出彩…但节奏其实还挺不错的（不知道为什么很多人吐槽太冗长），个人觉得构图、色彩和调度都在合格线以上，时而还充盈着一股童趣（也许是我自己比较偏爱这种风格吧）。说幽默有些勉强了，预估一下，一些台词会蛮出圈。结局太牵强、太俗套，不太喜欢。over。
有那么几句台词太真实了，骂人词穷恨不得脑袋里面花钱购买词库怼到爽，但，法式幽默真的给我一种有一出是一出的感觉。
机器人挺好玩的，吸机油跟吸可口可乐似的，庄周梦蝶也是脑洞大了
一部有关人工智能的荒诞室内剧。因为反对人类的人工智能尤尼克斯构成威胁，居家人工智能将几家人关到防护严密的屋内。虽然在居家机器人的帮助下，逃出了时冷时热的屋子，但遭到尤尼克斯的围堵，在千钧一发之际，尤尼克斯首领的一个失误，导致无人机将所有的尤尼克斯全部清除，人类得以幸存。
感觉拍的有点碎，大乱炖。但很有意思，值得一看。这样的居家机器人请给我来一打
疫情电影，人被逼疯，非常无聊，浪费时间，还不如去看一集黑镜。
为了展现是在未来太刻意了，拍的什么鬼
特效很用心，充满幽默感的电影。 或许表达的东西太多了...........
不太能理解法式幽默，看完也不太明白电影想表达什么。
