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'.

看了感觉还行 结局很喜欢 但是5星太多 4.5最多
冷嘲热讽，辛辣十足！北美反响不佳应该是很多人看了不开心吧，因为它指桑骂槐的范围太广了。对生态灾难视而不见的人们，将权钱当做信条的当权者，靠转移视听愚民洗脑的政府，自诩人定胜天的科技教主，被扣上污名的吹哨人，都能在现实中对号入座。但即便如此，“他们也没有聪明到你想象的那么邪恶。”
纸花，皮绳，马鞍都好👌🏻，镜头色气但是讲述又很克制，太细腻了，大段的时间交给西部的辽阔和寂静的尘埃，秘密花园里的时光和被血染红的稻草都是隐蔽的欲望，四位主角都演得妙妙妙。Dunst两口子真的真的越来越像彼此了，可怕。
戏份分配过于不均，导致小男孩在前半部影片基本没有表现空间，只有最后25分钟比较值得玩味。所谓的“克制”，更多表现为半遮半掩，不用对白直接表达是可以的，但是镜头明明应该给到更多信息，比如小男孩当着卷福的面绞死兔子的画面，现在这个半遮半掩的镜头语言既没有冲击力，也没有含蓄的韵味
年度有意思，一个人或者和朋友们直接打开了看就行了，节奏非常丝滑。厉害之处在于对讽刺的度掌握得非常精准，看上去很搞笑的剧情，仔细想想每一个情节都可能在现实世界发生——有的甚至正在发生、已经发生。可能笑着笑着就沉默了。ps.幻想着可以看到中国版的DON'T LOOK UP，那绝对比这个还要好看十倍。
新冠爆发的这几年很多事和三星中将贩卖白宫免费零食一样荒唐
亚当·麦凯的尝试存在一些前置的局限，在垃圾影像高度泛滥的今天，将这些放置于银幕以于嘲讽变得像富人们身上的赘肉一般，因此作为一部喜剧它几乎完全不奏效，但他也未能进一步地走向情节剧（正如杜蒙所做的那样），或者彻底献身于一种超验式的浪漫（当然，这一点费拉拉在十年前就做得更加完美），这些终究都来得太迟，也是美国主流电影自身的一种症候。
冷酷的哥哥、沉默的弟弟、脆弱的弟媳、陰柔的繼子，共同生活在廣渺草原裡的牧場，一切事務不一定是誰說了算，最後還得看哪個人夠狠。
表面平淡下是汹涌的暗波，原本强大隐忍的Pill却陷落在精于设计温情中，这刀真是磨得又慢又快。
有些晦涩，但表演张力极强，结尾不出意料的透着冷酷的血淋淋。
深柜故事拍成这样也是牛逼，太隐晦了，能津津有味看完的人更牛逼（看完长评才明白，这是个杀人的故事。Peter给Phil的多余的兽皮是他从那头因炭疽而死的牛身上割下来的，而Phil编绳子的时候伤口流血了。妈的，Peter太残忍了）
3.5 一些自以为是的讽刺幽默，搞了半天也没讲出什么新鲜玩意，权当看看这个豪华阵容。前夫真的完全就是胖头鱼本鱼。
适当加速吧，这样的感觉太拖沓。
1. 如果将来有个“Post-Covid Film”类型的话，这大概可被列为第一部。2. 欣赏这片的主题：我们处在这样一个时代，大部分人类因为脑容量太小而无法肉身理解自身的处境，像玩拼图游戏，原图是一千块小图组成的撒旦，但有人捡了三块拼出个圣诞老人于是大家就觉得完成了任务击掌相庆互祝快乐。3.开始手法有点温吞，似乎远不如麦凯上部《大空头》夸张讽刺给劲，甚至觉得应该换《灵通人士》的伊安努齐来拍才过瘾，但看到结尾才意识到用意：这不是喜剧，因为认真的人和愚蠢的人都完蛋了，但买得起诺亚方舟船票的人还活着。4.结尾最后晚餐挺震撼，加分。5. 梅里尔斯特里普是个被极度过誉的“坏”演员，这片笑点没爆有一半原因在她尽是浮夸却没有任何惊喜和想象力 的套路，比起德瑞福斯在《副总统》里几乎同样的角色差得太远。
还想说冰血暴夫妇再聚首，然后才知道两人拍完冰血暴戏外已经结婚了（哇。
简坎皮恩这个情绪把控太强了，隐忍克制却又波涛汹涌。
Deliver my soul from the sword, my darling from the power of the dog. 克制，诡异，慢节奏，性别塑造与爱欲，动机一直延续到最后一刻才完全揭露。大年初一看得津津有味👀

个人感觉有点形式大于内容啊，唯一的亮点就是福尔摩斯露diao，哈哈哈。。。
他靠破坏世界的男性气质，来保护那个与他形象不符的、细腻的心；这里每个人都存在矛盾，都在进行力所能及的反抗；他成功了，她成功了，他成功了
