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'.

感觉和TV动画的主题有点不一样，但又围绕着为什么游泳这个核心，有种看着角色成长起来了的感觉。因为喜欢还是想去挑战梦想，一个人的比赛或是for the team，喜欢free的haru才是那个大家心里的haru吧。前篇比预期的好看一点，期待后篇。
【玉面情魔@伪君子】库珀比起泰隆·宝华多了几分乡下人的憨厚，狡黠的笑容让人有些不寒而栗。很可惜，这不是一部女版的《恶魔》，凯特·布兰切特和鲁妮·玛拉最后没有走到一起，三个出色的女性表演成了一盘散沙。
怎么说呢，翻拍老片进行一定的改动无可厚非，但陀螺处理本片的问题是他扩充的东西太多了，加了很多冗杂的旁支，又把原作里留给观众自行去体会的东西交由角色讲出来，说了那么多却让人感受不到角色行事的推动点在哪里。服化道非常精美，前半段马戏团部分差不多相当于陀螺翻拍了一段[畸形人]，结尾也停在了当初原作无法实现的最佳位置，但整体还是趋于平庸了。两星半
被低分的作品，德尔托罗的风格依旧犀利，有一点类似于邪恶版的远大前程，乡村小子学了一堆技巧，贪婪的他想要的更多，结果惹了不该惹的人，做了不该做的事情。
第一部分的马戏团太拖沓了，都快丢了。从后半部分心理医生登场开始渐入佳境。听说原版更好，有机会再看。

50多分钟,正片才刚开始，然后我就睡过去了。
非常喜欢！当陀螺构建的暗黑世界足够成熟时，他只需要不断复刻这一寓言体系的要素来唤醒他的影迷（马戏团迷宫一秒唤起潘神，暗绿色的夜雨是水形物语），并不断用自己的“格林童话”补完和延续自己的暗黑寓言故事集。新世纪已经不再崭新，科学尚不足解释一切，心理学才露端倪，神学依旧能控制人心。陀螺用自己寓言中的人物一再投射现实世界，在他眼里，入侵波兰的元首是卓别林。数字和词语构成的镜像世界，暗号如摩丝码繁复，模仿成为利器，眼神、手势、反复擦拭的皮鞋、突然的晕厥虽能一招制胜，但镜像的现实世界依旧无法轻易摆脱糟糕的童年的和原生家庭。童年的乌云在言语间就能暴露弱点，奢华和权利不断铺设的陷阱，被私欲反噬，最终引人走入万劫不复的结局。Geek犹如包法利夫人中的瞎子，陀螺自己做了一次电影黄金时代遗产中的福楼拜。
我睡了醒，醒了又睡，简直了，而且真的好长……和以往一样对陀螺的片喜欢不起来，服化道好精致，复古格调一流，Bradley Cooper大概又能奥提了！
如果你看过低学历大师把一帮明星企业家精英大佬骗得团团转的新闻，那么这部电影是有其现实依据的。每个人的心里都有缺口，骗子就是发现了这个缺口并加以利用，仅此而已。男主太帅了，但是气场完全被大魔王压过去了，最遗憾的就是男主还是太嫩，影片整体还是非常好看的
人太多了 完全不记得不认识了 凛真的好爱
Bradley Cooper=毒药，不管配什么女主男配女配导演
习得魔术用来与亡者通灵，诊疗病患用来窃生者之私。以为是用看穿的戏法告慰生者，却送了他们了断的子弹。佯装满手鲜血的表演解脱活人，却成了封印在甲醇里死婴的标本。试图扭转倒吊人先兆的塔罗，却还是逃不掉成为嗜血怪胎的命运。若能记得老头死前的忠告，就不会相信自己捏造的谎言，在夜路一去不回。
开头很有趣，到后半程冲突部分有些乏力，结局是能猜到的，但总体还是很有趣（也有前半部分太长的原因吧）
斯坦背负着冻死父亲并焚尸的噩梦到了底层马戏团，首先见识的是假扮的怪物，他越是排斥这一角色，越是意图通过读心灵媒逃离这个角色，距离成为这个角色就越近，欺骗越高级，其铤而走险自掘坟墓的本质就越显现，男主欠佳，女主发挥空间太小。
剧情太水了，摁头给吃齁死的糖，刚吃完就捅你一刀，节奏跟踩了狗屎一样，看在原番的面上才勉强三星，醉了
范儿这么正的noir，这么逆天的卡司，就这点分数？泥瓣用户品味如此高端的么？库柏在戏里上了卡罗尔双姝，简直了。
抛开故事，看人性确实多么的真实，据说新版的结尾比旧版的要好很多，就是stan主动说自己天生就是做怪人的这个情节，原版都被和谐了。

差强人意，陀螺终归倾向于童话式的叙事系统，没有复杂的欲望冲动，也不带有真实的罪恶感，至于几位明星演员则更不能使人信服，还是想念《水形物语》的好
