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'.

狂爱复古挂嘴上，衣服设计土掉渣。
这部片也是挺cult挺复古的。
我还以为是致敬(我最爱的)60s，结果更炫酷。现实生活中，数不尽的理想主义女孩兴奋的入读art school，结果现实残酷性格太敏感无法handle reality, then they go insane eventually. It’s quite common and sad.
铅黄电影的浓烈加上犹如今敏和希区柯克附身一般的影像力，在库布里克故去、德·帕尔玛已老、大卫·林奇息影、大卫·芬奇精神已死的当下，埃德加·赖特实打实地用性别惊悚的母题做到了cult片还魂。固然难以和一座座影史高山相提并论，但至少这样的片子还有人在拍，就强过一大堆只懂得操弄文本概念能指所指的符号学导演了。
玩梗玩到飞起🤣但我有点接受不了我的彼得潘成那样了🤣奇奇蒂蒂永远是最棒的‼️
码一个豆油的评论，笑死
3.5分。 赖特在这部电影中，展现了自己对于长镜头调度的能力，这和他以往的很多影片都不一样。在血与冰淇淋三部曲时，赖特主要靠的是剪辑的技巧，凌厉快速的剪辑，让影像在得到信息量叠加的同时，生成了丰富的寓意。这部恐怖片却并不打算如此，影片中很少能看到快速剪辑的画面，而是在流畅的推拉摇移中，让我们感受到悬疑和惊悚的味道。 另外就是赖特对于镜像的反复使用了，从一开始，这种镜像共生关系，更多是女主角的逃离心态，越到后面，越是展现出她对于现实的皈依。换句话来说，怎样让人感受到现实比幻境更吸引人呢？那就让幻境更加恐怖点吧！这看似简单粗暴的逻辑，既是赖特作为邪典片导演的古怪趣味，但同时也解释了女主角如何从对幻境的割舍不开，到对幻境的释然面对的过程。
三星半，这是一部非常纯粹的院线电影，对铅黄电影的致敬在看过阴风阵阵之后还是耳目一新，女主角房间的红蓝色调对比，再加上对60年代风情的展现，在充斥着超英漫改的商业片里实在是一股清流，另外对于舞台后如同地狱十八层的众生展现也很精彩，比车轱辘“男人不行”要有力量的多。结局崩塌是很大的问题，类型化元素注定了该片最后一定要以大反转和大战为终结，但这就导致了Sandy形象也跟着崩塌了——如果Sandy认为自己的所作所为是正义的，那些人该死，那为什么最后要把屠刀砍向无辜的甚至同情她的Eloise头上呢？导演也知道这是非常生硬的，但补救方式就是更加生硬的洗白和强行“girl helps girl”的大和解，更加让我感到主题上的松散、不统一甚至是不诚恳。
超现实的女性反抗题材，故事和镜头有点意思。但拍恐怖片，第一要务是吓人，不是讲道理。鬼没咋吓到我，光被这个女主角吓了。
1小飞侠和索尼克算是被毁了…
还是那句话，有版权就是可以为所欲为，甚至可以奇奇2D，蒂蒂3D，反派是中年油腻的彼得·潘，姨人/蚁人也客串了一把。只要迪士尼愿意，什么形态都能随意切换，走黑粉的路让所有同人无路可走。没办法，他们拥有得太多了。
《SOHO区惊魂夜》是一部放大女性意识的铅黄电影，又很埃德加·赖特地将歌单作为本体，恐怖感来自于文化工业的unsheathing，令当下/怀旧的虚假二分被打破。“二重身”是一个精神分析隐喻，令影片中的根源不是真正的城市之恶，也并不是波兰斯基式的纯粹妄想，“伦敦”“Soho”是最为关键的两个咒语，城市之创伤被加密为一种集体无意识，又随着古老的租住房开启，换言之，Eloise是（被变成）一个记忆/存储的媒介。“《SOHO》最大的问题也是精神分析其所不能，在哲学上生产出哥特式的谵妄，借助流行的种族或性别议题，不断将创伤绑定至年轻一代以实现自身的延续。但Nerdy直男埃德加·赖特又不可能真正反对这些光怪陆离的60年代亚文化，因此他安排了一个happy ending，令影片更为不伦不类。
对导演期待其实特别高，立意很高但是表现手法是不是有点太实在了？无论是乡村女孩儿逐梦伦敦时尚圈，还是男性凝视像僵尸一样穿越时代。僵尸和跳吓不断出现，看得我想打人了。导演不知道这两年恐怖片这样搞已经是很低级的了么。最后的反转又是什么鬼。虽然都可以解释通，但是就是觉得远远低于期待啊！
迪士尼的炒冷饭，秀IP专场。这个2D、3D和真人混搭的世界还挺有意思的，最大的惊喜莫过于对其他厂牌IP的恶搞(蝙蝠侠大战ET外星人笑的我站不起来)
喜欢的演员又合作了，“why women kill”+扬名立万“一个女孩想在舞台上唱歌怎么了”缘分啊撞了主题了，而且都是一把火烧了个清白
一个2D一个3D +真人 很好笑 也很有创意 剧情真的好看哈哈哈哈不愧是迪士尼。梗真的好多好多好多啊
算是一次迪士尼彩蛋大全集了，还是打的怀旧牌，出现的都是经典的迪士尼动画人物，剧情无功无过，就像《疯狂动物城》，可整体还是偏弱，不得不说迪士尼对盗版这件事真的是深入骨髓，最后这两只松鼠的游戏小时候可没少玩
What a beautiful tragedy 镜面转场的复古画面太美丽 可惜结尾疲软 女性困境的主题被废弃 Anya的精彩表演全面压制 剪成个人solo都比这整体效果好
重复有时是一种虔诚的仪式，通过敲击同一个按键来打开不可知的大门，就如本片：当差点被车撞这么个拉节奏的小伎俩都能被Edgar Wright 乐此不疲的用三次时，他终于成功在银幕上拉开了狗屎的大门。
本片既有情怀也有创新。蒂蒂用CGI改造成了3D版，和2D版的奇奇进行侦探大冒险。延续动画剧集中一个出谋，一个执行，然后整活，逗乐大家。其中彩蛋的密集，弥补了故事的略感乏力。但迪士尼自家玩起了反派梗，合家欢主流的迪士尼难得小小自反，戏谑玩梗，自嘲自黑。
