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'.

荒诞故事，略二的设定和呈现……但讽刺也不够，近乎儿戏。。
2站中最有名的欺诈战，为西西里登陆创造了条件。
就挺一般的。给人感觉这个计划之所以能成功，是因为德国人想让他成功。
很别致的科幻片，密闭空间里，人与机器人大战，夹杂着很多小幽默。
实在是很失望，这么好的题材怎么拍的如此平庸。最好看的是预告片...
老式机器人保护主人不被大规模机器叛乱波及将其锁在家中……剧情发展过于荒诞。不过法国电影还是比美国的多了点哲学气息庄周梦蝶都搬出来了~不过搞笑段落还是少了些……
编剧能力太差了8⃣️！！what is your plan exactly??? 怎么间谍们都要摸摸就言听计了？
两任Mr Darcy聚在一部电影里还真是难得。影片里最令人印象深刻的应该就是那份情书吧，战争下的爱情总是那么令人动容！而且是出自一位终身未嫁的女士之手，对美好的渴望是有多么的真情实感。男女主间发乎情 止乎礼的感情戏在现代社会里也是很少见了！英国算得上是戏剧和文学之国了吧，即使战争年代也是几乎人人都是作家啊，文学功底太厉害了哈哈
很怪鸡的一部法国科幻喜剧，特别的五彩斑斓光怪陆离
就挺一般的。给人感觉这个计划之所以能成功，是因为德国人想让他成功。
确实有失水准，但是也有亮点，还调侃了一下新冠；AI的反思；人类是有缺点的原创设计；篇幅和形式更像短集的电视剧；性爱机器男 有了裘德洛的标准 这个就像个智障啊
科幻的不能再科幻了。
法国果然是喜剧天花板，满屏幕的哲学思辨问题让人难以自拔
爱国主义并不代表牺牲个人。让人感动的不是片中每个人都希望打倒纳粹德国的精神，而是每个普通士兵，乃至每具尸体，都值得有姓名，有历史，有宽恕。
脸叔又演有出轨嫌疑的丈夫，现在看到他可爱的肉脸会觉得不可信任…anyway绞肉行动本身异想天开式的策划是电影吸引人的核心，这个点加分。虽然蒙塔古这个角色没有查尔斯可爱，但是双达西先生，粉丝喜闻乐见！另外Matthew Macfadyen声音太好听！
7⃣️BL 的梗多余了 哈哈哈

朋友们，机器人在最后开的玩笑简直影射我等现状hhhh叫你删我评论，我就是要说qnmdb（atom age家装永不过时）
故事是个好故事，可惜气氛渲染的不太行啊， 文戏太冗长了，而且是无关紧要的文戏。 否则就是一部佳片了
