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'.

软科幻代表了哲学尽头
万万没想到一直在讽刺美国政府和美国政府的肮脏实验。也万万没想到，反美代表居然是哈莉奎茵哈哈哈哈哈！
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
人类掌握了分子级别的生物克隆技术，
三星半。重复的反高潮和血浆某种程度上造成了疲惫，或许因为很久没看大场面电影了。
科技和伦理，当技术真的可以克隆的那一天，必然面临片中所涉及的伦理困境。苹果的设计感和画质充斥全片，不愧为苹果出品的电影。阿里的演技还是那么优秀。还有配乐和歌曲都很美。
3.6分。
最难受的地方是和平使者杀掉Flag那一刻，真的真的好想哭。
7.5/10，前面一小时很无聊，后面开爽扳回来一些，古恩水平也就这样。哈莉撒花、雨中打戏有创意，最后"星战"也够爽，故事还是那老一套，叙事特别是前半部分非常割裂，何况剧情还蠢。短评里有和海王比的？还有dc最佳啥的？不好意思算了吧别丢人了。btw国产剧如果再拍手撕鬼子，咱还需要个鲨鱼王或者starro
画面好美。
那锁住我生命的沉重枷锁
苹果生活美学风尚大赏。看的时候全程：下面是不是要大撕逼了？下面是不是要大撕逼了？该大撕逼了吧？结果一直没有。
阿里不愧是各种最佳男配拿到手软的神人，一人分饰两角，每个都性格鲜明、忠于人设，希望他能够凭本片拿到最佳男主，黑人男演员里他应该是可以接替摩根弗里曼、史皇来挑大梁的人了。
我很喜欢，不管是故事还是空间还是音乐，这种悲悯的呈现很对我的胃口。
DC终于找到了合适自己的血腥B级英雄片路线，受不了漫威的正能量了可以来爽一下～
尽管我希望生命不息
这部电影的外包装还不错，但是内核我真的有点受不了，齁得慌。
看到最后一幕
导演果然不一般，难得看到一部不闷的DC电影，暴力美学搭配鲜花蝴蝶，密恐爱好者的盛宴，小丑女美出了了不一样的高度，全片透露着一股蠢萌的感觉，海星吸脸这招让我一下子回到了Rick and Morty，配乐好评。
尽管我希望生命不息
