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'.

电影结尾处男女主角大团圆那场戏，如果在两人穿过车流时被汽车撞飞，醒来发现自己也是NPC，那就可以考虑飞向《银翼杀手》那种级别了。
因为他们除了借助游戏这个题材外，更多是在展现游戏中“探索”“反抗”“团结”的主题，消除对宅男的刻板印象，告诉大众游戏玩家只是和你我一样的另一群追求美好的群体，游戏只是一种艺术形式，只是陪伴他们长大的东西。
好的记住了，以后打游戏时不要乱杀npc～娱乐感十足的片子，很下饭，3.5星吧
AI已经觉醒，skynet还远吗。。。╮(╯▽╰)╭
剧情简单，喜欢片子里粗糙游戏建模和现实之间的专场。Ryan Reynold长了一张喜剧脸，配上他贱贱的声音，真的是可爱到让我想摸！很惊喜的是美国队长的客串，全场爆笑。不过现实里男女主我实在嗑不起来，谁叫他们一个是《怪奇物语》的Steve，一个是《杀死伊芙》的Villanelle呢。
可真好~五光十色鲜嫩多汁，juicy到如果还分析什么隐喻什么人生感悟都有点lame
赛博版《楚门的世界》，20世纪真是收归米奇了，漫威和星战的梗随便玩，所有角色设置其实都有点儿NPC，没什么背景和发展，不过这片子其实也就是爽就够了。
加班一周，终于看上。立意比同类题材作品高太多，情感很饱满，不是科幻不是喜剧不是动作，而是被披上这些衣服的爱情片，别贬低这个主题狭小，爱恰恰才是这个世界最崇高的命题。当什么时候不需要用游戏外的野心家来充当反派制造冲突，那么这种题材的作品才算真正进入一个新境界。
用AI和游戏让工具人NPC觉醒翻身做主人，说出那个朴素的道理，人非工具～导演应该很爱玩《底特律：成为人类》吧！虚虚实实，极致浪漫
因为没有streaming不能在家里的影院看只好去了amc，天呐也太好看了吧笑到抽筋🤣🤣🤣
之前看stranger things还一直摇摆于joe这个演员到底是可爱还是尴尬这部直接把我摆到了可爱的这边。我也对comer的有点喜欢变成了感觉她真的还蛮可爱。虽然X非要拿这个和ready player one做比较，但个人认为除了游戏元素和都是爆米花片的功能性定位以外其实两者没啥关系。这部的视野很小，属于很有b数但把自己分内事做的很精细的小妞电影。虽然标签现在都是什么动作冒险搞笑，但这其实就是一部主人公是男的的chick flick。而且是一部还挺好看的chick flick。看完感觉做这种能让人开心的电影其实也挺难的。流水线作品做的好的时候，还是一件挺赏心悦目的工艺品的。
一直希望朋友们明白，虽然我是游戏玩家，但我对游戏题材的电影一点都不感兴趣。从绘画电影再到游戏，艺术门类越新则表现渠道越多元，越旧的优势则是往往更古雅。用旧门类手法表示新门类主题，只会失去表现渠道的多样性，但绝对不会变得古雅起来，双输。但本片还是不错的，主题是讨论自由意志、和基于自由意志的生活意义，游戏只是借以表达的一个舞台。俗套不算多。对当下游戏环境和多数玩家心态的批判，我也持类似的态度
动作戏亮眼（片尾大只佬那部分除外），几处慢镜头恰当华丽，女主的角色装扮非常游戏且好看，振金盾牌和光剑的登场让我这个美队粉星战粉一本满足。
暑期档终于有部正经爆米花了，虽然夏天马上就过完了，也没多好，就是想给打高一点，救救孩子救救暑期档吧

新鲜感有的，但也挺套路的，这种设定应该能玩的不止这些。
今年目前最棒的一部。没想到故事这么精彩，人物非常鲜活。NPC玩家发展出自己的个性，简直是人性的光辉。从喜剧片到轻微的哲思，到爱情，无缝转换。
好有心机的技术宅。我也要把自己捏成杨幂去游戏里泡帅哥。 （突如其来美队了嘤嘤嘤）
瑞恩雷诺兹的财富密码~~虽然不少套路，但npc应该有尊严这个设定实在是太戳我等社畜们啦。最讽刺的是Waititi的角色，他演得是他东家狗威or达斯米奇吧？
《GTA》➕《头号玩家》➕《楚门的世界》＝《失控玩家》。有迪士尼➕福克斯经典系列电影的双料彩蛋。
