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'.

阳光温暖我的脸庞
对于一个非漫威也非DC粉的路人观众来说，反正是看得挺爽的，在俗套和反套路之间反复横跳，但最终还是俗套 的。
节奏太慢了，部分场景很漂亮，故意设计了一个看似美满的结局。#20220203
克隆在科幻电影中已然不再是什么新鲜题材，但《天鹅挽歌》的不同，则在于电影既没有结论，也不做批判，它只是用细腻的情感表达将一个告别的故事，赋予了最为“无私”的形态。面对即将不久于人世的现实，是让深爱的人同样陷入巨大的悲痛，还是用克隆人替代自己，孤独死去？两难抉择下关于爱的挽歌，感人至深。
小丑女好棒！！！主题不错，老鼠才是城市的主人，反对政府的控制，反对墙的控制，反对各种控制。DC加油，鲨鲨比心。
RJ说这类型电影是在给AI做宣传，光看了开头就说不喜欢主题不看了，但我看完之后感觉，其实重点不在于AI的合法和合理性，而是如何对自己的爱人和家人进行告别，以及如何平和的处理被遗忘和忽略的感受，RJ说这种感受不需要去了解，但我确能体会到自己在group chat里失语时的落寞和无奈，注定是一部属于“自我”的电影。
非常非常无厘头的电影，黑色幽默、暴力美学、反讽刺激等等都可以在这部电影中看到。鲨鱼王和小老鼠超级可爱，但是红裙奎恩真的是本片亮色。不过，儿童不宜哦。
202201le。从汽车到游戏，像是苹果未来几年产品的大展示。电影主题很好，但拍得实在是浅了点。
虚假的自杀小队，真实的正义联盟。说实在的，现在还能把超级英雄电影玩儿出新花样来真挺不容易的，而且这部电影拍得也确实好，五星没毛病！
奎因爆杀那段真是又帅又狠。在血腥暴力中加入可爱与幽默中和，不然猎奇程度不止R级。故事线交汇的设计比较有意思，抱脸海星的最大敌人居然是老鼠。
挺欢乐的，大sha鱼挺可爱的，血浆变成鲜花蝴蝶也挺符合社会主义核心价值观。
《口吃》导演拿奥斯卡后第一部剧情长片。剧作结构依旧严谨，特别温情的讲述接受克隆人代替自己的生活的故事。相比《老去》在探讨生命逝去，这部与自己的生命告别更打动人，类型融合更能打动观众。暂甩进年度十佳列表。
这部影片从一个特殊的角度，以极简的方式探讨了生命与死亡、何以为人，以及最重要的，什么是爱。
3.6分。
无论是站在原本的我
没想到有一天我会说出这样的话：蠢萌蠢萌的鲨鱼怪可爱的……
濒死之人，找机构克隆了一个自己，和妻儿继续生活。//科技发达到可以连记忆都复制的地步，依然连肿瘤也没法对付，有点迷惑——不过，转念一想，如今人类已经可以计划去火星了，但也没法彻底搞定COVID-19，也就没那么迷惑了。//在科技日益发展之时，道德，伦理的困境，肯定是越来越需要面对的，毋庸置疑，如果没有道德，伦理羁绊，人类跟其他生物也就没什么区别了。
Ali演技实在好，几乎让我忽略了剧情，好喜欢，特别是那双含泪的双眸深深打动了我。
也许真的到了未来那个世界，情感只需要存在于意识（或数据）中延续，本体反而是随意可以置换的有机体（用废即换），元宇宙的世界也可能就是人类的终极世界。
也许我们惧怕的从来都不是死亡本身 而是怕当下所拥有的一切都变成虚无 怕再也不能够真实地和爱的人相拥 说不上是死者的自私还是善意的谎言 爱到底能不能因此而延续谁也不知道 但最起码此刻你看着我的眼睛说的“I love u”是真实存在
