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'.

3.3.22 技术宅的装备太有意思了。紧张且大快人心哈哈哈
故事设定还行，算是有趣，完成度也还可以。不过叙事的清晰度上差一些，故事略显凌乱，同时整体有些中规中矩，没有什么太亮眼的点，也就动作戏还不错。总体，别报太大希望，没事随便看看消遣一下还行。
怎能如此拖沓 用过气的方法讲述一个关于未来的故事只是影迷的自嗨罢了
代入感挺强的，从下楼那一段开始往后镜头挺好的，仿佛身临其境。女主蓝发好美，期待蝙蝠侠
还算流畅，线索都有安排到。这电影是不是还是用苹果手机拍的啊……
可能因为故事发展比较老套，没有很喜欢。科技恐怖那一部分能get到，但对这一方面我已经摆烂了，就也没有太多感触，毕竟我现在很少经营互联网形象，也不怎么关注咨询，只干一些聊天打游戏看电影的事，作为工具它只要不跳脸，我都无所谓。足不出户这一部分我倒是完美复刻，社交关系越来越贫瘠，但目前并不感到困扰。看的时候在考虑把之前的网络迷踪也补一补。
这部影片警戒长得丑的我们，英雄救美挨刀子都得不到美人。
上报无果
新冠爆发老子在家办公将近两个月之后出门/乘坐公共密闭交通工具确实有过一段时间障碍感同身受😔
缩水版黑镜，普通的创意，普通的剧本，连反转都普通地那么普通...
杀手无用，宅男也太工具人了，剧情属实过于平淡，最后的反杀也很无聊
我为什么要看这么烂的片，女猪无论颜值身材人设演技四合一灾难，剧情无聊兼闷到侮辱智商，尤其后半段都是些什么鬼，这样都能被反杀也只有智商为0才会有，kimi原来是工具人...
女生这样生活多好 偌大房子自由驰骋 不出门不社交 技术横行天下 炮友送上门 无任何熵增
算是半个桌面电影，相比前进流行的几个桌面电影，不显枯燥，对于社恐，技术侵犯隐私以及智能助手的探讨挺好的，外加无比政治正确。
发型发色真棒，蓝毛让人心动，中译名冷感酷女孩是有道理的cold cool blue
这是某种毒品所达到的效果，可以称之为奇幻警匪片，因为没什么科学道理嘛。
希区柯克是大多数导演绕不开的一个坑，开发了一个疫情时代的社恐后窗故事，还有迪帕马的凶线
女主的人设前后期跳的有点脱。今晚看了两部用钉枪sha人的电影了，感觉这玩意比shouqiang还好用！
为啥别人的kimi如此丝滑，我的天猫精灵就是个智障
不欢而散
