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'.

第一部韩国黑白片，上百年过去了，fb的继续fb，tw的继续tw，土地怎么会是peo的土地。只知道播种，种子再好，如果没有土地的滋养，也没有用。女权萌发。既然无法学以致用，就遵循我本性。
这部影片实在是很一般。探讨的内容早已不新鲜，也很流于表面，但不得不说商业化很成功。部分说教台词写得也很精辟，给人一种文化底蕴丰厚的假相，和韩国整个文化产业的基调相同。热评一说得很好，本该是我们拍出的东西。但我们的导演编剧都在干嘛，这也许是一种浪费文化的惩罚？
能饒有興趣的看下去說明拍的不錯。
像是说出了我去年决心去藏区的理由。可是，电影并没有回答，回到黑山岛的昌大，如何面对依旧难逃的社会桎梏呢？
黑白影片融入了晴朗与睿智，知识不是用来压迫子民，而是用来造福百姓。
作为女人，对儒教的毒害深恶痛绝，但并不影响去理解开创者们高远的思想。丁先生是在奋勉的学习圣礼学后又痛苦的思索了千万遍才选择了最后的方向吧。看到后面，才发现李导是安那其友人，恨不得再打十星。PS：在豆瓣看韩影评论，永不缺席的都是那群大中华主义者的自怨自艾，好笑，解压。
破例给个5*吧4+1情感分，前40分钟看得有点犯困，节奏有点慢，另外这片子叙事节奏也有很多欠技巧的地方，略平了，悬念和细节都有可改进得更好看的地方。但情节真的是可以用震撼形容，就冲印度可以随意示威加司法独立这两点，也比某国强的太多。很难不让人类比雷洋案。你国不是电影不如印度，…… 再多就不说了。应该是我2021年看的最好的电影。IMDB评分有点虚高，TOP250的倒还合理，不知是怎么排的。
二小时四十分钟的长度是印度电影的常态，影院会中间休息一次，片子歌声、舞蹈不断，使观众尽兴。本片确是表现了一个很严肃的主题：低种姓部落人群为腐败的官僚警察体系迫害问题。时至今日，印度民间也没有彻底摒弃残忍的种姓制度。尽管法律中没有种姓规定，更明令禁止种姓的不公平对待，但蒙冤的「不可接触者」还是大有人在。本片直面这一残酷的现实，令人感动。低种族演员们的群像写得、演得非常到位，值得夸赞！虽然正面律师过于“伟光正”，但也是满足了观众、社会呼唤正义、除恶的心声。
6.6/10。1990s印度：主线是低种姓男主一家因种姓歧视而被恶警当作一起「政客珠宝失窃案」的替罪羊折磨，以及正义律师为男主辩护并获得成功。在这起案件的叙事过程中也揭露了低种姓因种姓歧视而被恶警各种当替罪羊的社会现象。总的来说故事有点意思（虽然律师被脸谱化且反派被强行降智），视听上则是很标准的陈词滥调（叙事节奏明显被过量歌舞和一些无关紧要的支线剧情拖慢）。
「余闻而愈悲，孔子曰：“苛政猛于虎也！”吾尝疑乎是，今以拉贾坎努观之，犹信。呜呼！孰知赋敛之毒，有甚是蛇者乎！故为之说，以俟夫观人风者得焉。」
看电影了没，“我想写的，是没有王的世道。” 惊了，他们已经拍出了这样主题的电影了。就是纯粹的知识分子在东亚文化里的典型命运。选择平和的，没有带血的那一侧，但和另一侧共通的，是意识到自己想报效的已经在根子上烂掉，是看着自己想守护的被剥夺更多践踏更多，看着船沉得马不停蹄日日夜夜想着自己是不是今天就是水面上最后一口气，这种无能为力的苦闷、挣扎、求生、反复、寄望与放弃。不是惊讶于拍得如何，而是惊讶于他们那里，这样一个项目真的有人去拍，有人去投，而且成了。太惊讶了。惊讶到我放弃比较——没有遗憾地放弃了。
还是模糊的，丁若铨的人格力量和师徒对“道”的追寻都语焉不详，看下来觉得是对东亚文化一种浅层的理解。
皆是如此
印度土著贫穷且悲惨！不知道什么时候厄运就降临，家破人亡。PS：去珠宝柜那边抓蛇，已经知道会有问题，放生蛇与大自然和谐相处也预示带来正义与财富。主旨跟《第15条》类似。
印度版《秋菊打官司》。眼见生活在石器时代印度村民的生存状态令人触目惊心，冤假错案反而没那么大震撼。这个事例本身不过是“大道废，有仁义”的现实演绎，此类型在印度电影中并不少见。只是多了种姓、歌舞、殴打和律师庭审的桥段，被神吹的过头了。7
“不是黑山，而是兹山”，黑白画面变成了蓝天碧海，鲜活跃然眼前。底蕴深厚，看完深感富足。
不是華影，勝似華影。上一次有這種感受，還是韓影——《醉畫仙》
小镇做题家：这都是人们不遵从马导师导致的。
太惨了，即便是几条狗被这样打，看着都会无比难受。整体而言渲染的痕迹有些重，反而导致冲击力下降。
出世与入世——小伙子，你要走的路，老子早走过一遍了！
