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'.

看到贾静雯说电视后面有蛇那里，心想要是真的有蛇就封神了，结果果然有，所以五星好评。
“恐惧是一件利器” 意料之中的耐看，头尾两次《Something In The Way》配的头皮发麻。“他们总以为我躲在暗影中，但我就是暗影的化身” 耷拉的刘海和深邃烟熏妆，让Robert版蝙蝠侠更多了几丝忧郁和孤傲，伤痕累累，惹人怜惜。最后纵身潮水，平等视角普度众生，看到他最不同于其他超英的致命吸引力。《黑暗骑士》里小丑都没能实现的城市爆炸，在这一部竟然开了花！结尾被阿尔弗雷德那句“你需要的是一个父亲，而在你身边的只有我”戳中。蝙蝠侠与猫女分别的后视镜凝视，竟闪现出《断背山》式柔情…“你拥有的越少越珍贵”
我就想问问谜语人，既然你都会做炸弹了，为什么不最后在人群聚集的广场也放几个汽车炸弹呢，等逃生的人都来了再引爆不就完了。非得请一群没什么战斗力的人来射杀群众，这不就是摆明了让batman来做英雄吗。如果拒绝走传统超英电影的那一套，麻烦至少先打磨下剧本吧，剧情上的硬伤让我实在是看不下去。细想一下蝙蝠侠从头到位有做任何有实际作用的事情吗，一直被谜语人带着走，结尾强行挽救。摄影和美术确实挺独特的，但是好几个场景极其刻意，叙事节奏强行拉慢，情绪也起不来。涅槃乐队也不是就是丧，人家虽然歌词写得颓废，但是演出还是很有激情的。这片子从头看到尾我内心没有一点波动。
贾静雯演得好。也许这就是怎么照看这类病人应有的样子。
从第一视角去拍思觉失调患者，剧本创作的难度很大，最后能够在叙事上成立，已经相当难得；对社会现实的呈现就比较差了。
万箭穿心后依然可以阳光普照，留下希望总归是温暖的。
实在没看出有任何理由不能把片长缩到两个小时
做父母真的需要能力，孩子不应该成为父母情绪倾泻的承受者。
毫无叙事节奏，无病呻吟就是无病呻吟，别强行关联其他了
这个结尾真的要死哦，差点我就想不开了，找不到出口了。前面部分有特别体现了下疫情的状况，就说做人是真的苦，平时鸟事就一大堆了，还要对付病毒，真的是淦了。
万箭穿心后依然可以阳光普照，留下希望总归是温暖的。
但是，哪怕人物的完整让我收回其他指控，瀑布意象的引入真是有够矫情的。
2.5 默默回去给Batman Begins加星
❤️蛇出来那一下，如果是我，我可能没法做到信任，妹妹太了不起了

看开头的时候总在想这种有关疫情的偏向写实类的电影十几二十几年之后会不会也成为时代的产物 疫情引出了看似平和家庭下的一系列矛盾 母女关系在矛盾中慢慢变化
越来越喜欢贾静雯了，前两年的《我们与恶的距离》中表现就很亮眼，这部更出彩，电影中演女儿的演员王净也不错。
1.谁说吻戏多的，才两场。2.哥谭永远在下雨，至少片方看过蝙蝠侠漫画的人不少，明白蝙蝠侠的风格。3.画面真的美。4.其实谈不上一部真正的侦探电影，但确实是一部十足的侦探蝙蝠侠的电影，实在够文艺的，“场面”戏不多，但每一场都能让人沸腾，很好做到了文艺和商业的平衡。5.有相当明显的人物成长弧线，蝙蝠侠从复仇者到哥谭的希望，从冷酷的心到在乎身边的人，漫画中蝙蝠侠的理念也都展现得淋漓尽致。

观感是喜忧参半的。电影探讨的是突如其来的变故对家庭生活的影响，很多象征和指向，不过也有些刻意和割裂，时而真实的不像话，时而荒诞的想吐槽，把这两种风格放在一起就很别扭和矛盾，越到后面越觉得冗长，幸亏有一些神来之笔。贾静雯王净发挥差不多，前者胜出还是因为经得住特写的表演很多，这在评审团评奖里很具有优势。
