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'.

也许是之前的错觉，男主仿佛小甜茶，以为是个基片，结果是个私人电影。比《贝尔法斯特》好上许多，但也感觉稍微差一口气。结尾的玻璃反射和CMBYN最后的壁炉戏一样都很考验男主表演，虽然这里弱了一些，肯定是不如🍑片那样能直接提名影帝。但斯科蒂还是很可爱的，和甜茶一样都展示了美臀。以及没太懂小修士是什么存在，但最后告别竟然出现，真的太可爱了，你会相信他给你带来了好运。
'- Do I have to like the path you like？-No . ' Ron好可怜 Barney更可怜 剧情很Disney 很不Pixar 机房那段直接梦回inside out / 个人数据都被正大光明收集了 结果没人恐慌 都在忙着找朋友 我是无法理解
怪哉，明明是导演最私人的记忆，偏偏没有什么动人之处。我想，还是导演对生活细节的捕捉不够细致准确。索伦蒂诺擅长的并不是通过观察表层生活，展现底下的深流，而是直接抛出一个形而上的喟叹，进而表现这个主题之下“光怪陆离”的、反常的生活。两者不一样。
作为足球迷不算太满足，看了去年几部导演私人回忆性质的作品，都有在打捞起的私人记忆外层裹满糖精兜售之感。

这个导演和我无缘hhh
明显是大导演的自传，荒诞（超现实）的情节削弱了代入感，又因为琐碎而没有猎奇的吸引力。
【A-】是个非常用心的好故事，结局真的很让人难过但却又很有分量，非常喜欢这种残缺美的结局。笑点的设计非常聪明，好几个都特别好玩。一些情节写的不严谨，但瑕不掩瑜，是个很用心也很棒的电影。
镜头很棒，那不勒斯城市之歌。说了什么，只有个人的记忆吧
孤独有啥的，孤独你就能当导演搞艺术啊？谁他妈不孤独？切。（大概酱。）
ron带着小帽子和小腰包的样子真是太可爱啦
去那不勒斯的火车上看完了The Hand of God，沿着它的旧城和海岸线漫步，爬上海边的礁石，一遍又一遍听Napule è。

成长的过程也是选择的过程，当少年失去双亲，因此被彻底被抛到成人的世界里，他可以选择香烟、性、旅行、足球…但他选择了电影，从此少年踏上了新的旅程
朋友是什么？总之不是依靠科技的虚假繁荣以及空虚感。
那不勒斯的乡愁，疫情期间看，就是全世界的乡愁。
机器人已经代替手机成为孩子们社交和连接的基本工具，但巴尼的这台却因为故障变得行为异常。《天赐灵机》讲得就是巴尼与故障机器人间友谊的故事。
对社交网络、大数据算法、隐私泄露的一次嘲讽。国内没引进，不知道是不是几个巨头看了不敢啊。
如果结局停留在Ron的回归的话，这部电影，不考虑那些细思极恐的细节比如智械危机，还算是一部优秀的合家欢喜剧动画，因为在那时，小男孩和他的小机器伙伴都经历了非常棒的成长事件。
有几幕虚实难辨的瞬间还蛮像费里尼的。但这类太过私人的讲述，我都很难relate。不要再说什么越私人就越普世，私人也没什么不好。只能说我很乐意旁观这意大利的夏天、海边、忧伤。
