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'.

原本只去听个片尾曲，却在普天同庆的日子里狠狠被教育了一把。毛爷爷说，“这个世界是你们的，也是我们的，但归根结底是你们的。”
功能性电影，埋了这么多伏笔，都得解释完，仅此而已
果然章子怡的部分看着就细腻很多，吴京那里的内容可以精简一点，总体来说完成度还是非常不错的。
什么都有 好像什么都又没到点上@emperor central
徐峥。故事很有趣，画面构图调色居然有韦斯安德森的影子＞章子怡。章子怡的表演炉火纯青越发令人叫绝，故事中规中矩却让人联想到「我的父亲母亲」＞吴京。这次居然不是最差的，战争场面大幅度好于某湖，然而演技依然不行，一边生孩子一边冲锋的平行剪辑也足够老套，最后的骑兵连对日军机枪火炮阵地的自杀式冲锋也不知是否有真实性，还是仅仅作为爱国情绪的烘托＞沈腾。很差，除了未来人工智能的噱头，几乎是对自己老套东北话段子的重复，加上毫无美感与底蕴的深圳城市建筑与冗长无必要的亲子运动会，让整部电影的观感直接下降。（其实到这一部分之前，电影的可看性和质感还是比较精良的）。
而文戏来讲。反派的设定所呈现的悬疑与恐惧气氛的力度，可以说毫无危机感可言。其次“丹尼尔”版007是所有版本里最有人物塑造的 James Bond ，简单来说就是更像个活生生的人。但在这部里把007体现的太过于“自我化”，爱情戏篇幅占据很多，反而 James Bond 对于特工身份的探究戏份基本是无。看上去像是一部披着谍战片外衣的爱情片。对于 James Bond 的角色升华只在片尾，使我在感动与不感动之间徘徊。
天呐 詹姆斯邦德竟然变成了情深不寿为爱而死的伤心汉，爷青结，doge。
《诗》里对生与死、理想与牺牲的诠释既浪漫又朴实。不需要浩瀚星空，大漠飞扬的黄土、孩子手里的孔明灯、看上去难以置信的简单的刻刀，足以写出航天人用生命点燃的诗。
徐峥果然承包了我的笑点😂
选择牺牲自己的孩子和三个战友
一星给帮的,一星给长腿。
光靠着情怀就想取胜的，起点都已经低了。好在美学基本在线，还有些微的可看性。
再见，丹叔。再见，007。现在你可以好好休息了，You have all the time now.

四个故事的个人喜好排名是 章子怡>徐峥>吴京=沈腾 章子怡赢在彻头彻尾的女性叙事以及余静萍坐镇摄影指导带来的舒适镜头 而鸭先知赢在我全片韦斯安德森美学+徐峥式上海叙事看下来最后在摄影指导里看到曹郁的名字 吴京和沈腾这次个人觉得平平 两个叙事里都有我无法共情的点 美学上一个硬来一个几乎没有 and四星里当然有一颗挂给张艺谋+陈道明+李雪健
2021年第25部 丹尼尔·克雷格 第六任邦德，邦女郎：蕾雅·赛杜
诗：缓慢 娓娓道来 起伏较少，却能讲好故事。大雨中的一场爆发看进去了。
《诗》＞《乘风》＞《鸭先知》＞《少年行》，看了开头30分钟就觉得赢了《长津湖》啊。
也就吴京那部分还能看点，其他三个部分都是啥？既不搞笑，煽情也不好看
沈腾执导的《少年行》继续延续了搞笑风格，聚集了开心麻花团队的中坚力量，惊喜不断。
