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'.

电影不是一定要引起大众共鸣的，也可以让人观察人生
科技公司两个ceo一个叫马克一个叫安德鲁 又画得神似库克 产品线+社交网络大数据 基本就是点着名骂FB和苹果了 但是这故事的主题就很飘 一开始说的是人不应该被大数据牵着走 线下才能交到真朋友 后面全片却又都是小男孩和机器人刷羁绊 结尾再落到人机和谐共处 那之前都是在批判啥呢？ 立意是符合当下了 落点却不明确
在视觉风格上比索伦蒂诺之前的作品都收敛了很多，但他这次用极为克制的手法饱含深情地追忆了他的青年时代。我们看到了费里尼电影中风情万种的丰腴女人，也有深刻影响了他的球王马拉多纳。索伦蒂诺把爱情与亲情，电影与体育顺理成章地糅合在一起，前后反差极大的情绪基调并未造成割裂感，而是给人极大的震动。全片最动人的部分是末尾男孩跟随导演来到海边：不仅城市之美映照到了主角的身上，索伦蒂诺也借此道出了电影创作的真谛：真正的好故事，永远是导演追寻自己“艺术个性”的过程，“用灵魂来书写”，“揭开自己生命中的疑问”（同Michael Rabiger）。索伦蒂诺（或说影片中他的替身）很幸运，在很年轻的时候就找到了自己需要穷极一生来解答的问题。
“社交工具最终阻拦了人类社交”。创意一般画面新颖，无功无过的剧作发挥。这部片的最大问题是它自己飘忽不定的核心设定，社恐社交工具商业版图科技公司人工智能这些元素本身具有强烈的对冲感，强行友善的杂糅在一起必定会顾此失彼
人工智障觉醒小故事，感情哪有算法。
【2022.03】Ron为什么没有在彩蛋中回来
大数据时代，主题还是很契合当下的，但是展开的方式还是比较流水线，无非还是寂寞主角逐渐打开自己顺便改变身边人的那套真善美，小男孩和机器宠物的设定也明显在借鉴“大白”，包括结尾的处理显然还是童话向了，既没有比较燃的场面，也缺乏细腻的情感处理，有几个本该催泪的地方比较草率，当然了，不是谁都能做皮克斯的
法比托和大导演在“水帘洞”的对话才像是戏剧表演，有如滨口龙介现身，挺有意思。
间或想起皮佩尔诺。某些层面上它是一部五星作品。恰当，群像，冷峻。但又有种止步于此，可惜。
那不勒斯 马拉多纳 费里尼 小姨 走私犯 美国往事
小男主的一切行为我都不能理解，就算是个小孩子这样的情绪反复也让我焦躁，我对小孩的忍耐度太低了……阿荣无敌可爱，不能接受它就这么消失了，社交女孩的猫型机器人的表情我也很喜欢
话说结尾男主自顾自地将阿荣的代码注入全部小白中真的是正确的选择吗？结局不太喜欢，过于梦幻了。
真内卷时代啊，机器人居然要替人思考合群问题。假装看不懂CEO是在影射库克+扎克伯格。社交牛逼症居然会传染嘻嘻嘻...
超可爱的b-bot，却映射出人类单向索取情感的自私和科技巨头只想赚钱的嘴脸哈哈哈。以及细想有点恐惧（和讽刺），以后的人类已经不需要真人朋友了，不再需要真实的生活，不再面对面交流分享，人类终于“进化”（或者被替代）成了一行行代码，实现了某种意义上的永生？
4.5/蛮喜欢，关于家乡的一些记忆，痛苦。很美的电影，观看过程一直在感叹怎么拍的这么美，索伦蒂诺总是拍出意大利那种华丽而极富历史感的样子，好美的Naples，看完意大利电影真的很向往意大利。ps还有两个演员演过我的天才女友。
这种创意就很值钱，会不会有天真做出一个这东西。。。泡泡集团执行长确定不是按库克画的？哈哈。。。其实内核都是大同小异经历这么多年没什么大变化，但这个表现形式和创意好像是我们与他们的差距。。。
简直匪夷所思。什么时候家长会允许孩子们带一个大型ai立体智能手机去上学，还全程直播？巴尼拿到有暴力倾向的小白不害怕吗？都上中学了还不会交朋友，人类的天性呢？最后居然真的以为ai可以帮助人交朋友，这不就是从智能手机升级到电子宠物吗？90后的童年孤独就是从电子宠物开始的，一旦开始就不会回头了。
有佳句无佳章，很喜欢电视放马拉多纳连过五人的那段 3.5
剧情：7
越社交，越孤独，越连接，越空虚……因为情感和友谊，是碎片化的，不是可编程的……
