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'.

生活到底是永恒的苦痛与虚无，还是可以选择相信的爱与善意。在无垠的多重宇宙里游荡，选择走上救赎的道路，那么多一眼望到头的结局里，无意义的黑洞充斥着绝望的引力。可在这种种无意义的背后，我选择坚信，一切的矛盾与争吵都可以和解，所有的爱与善意都不会被辜负。
虽然男的软弱无能絮絮叨叨，但打败了全国90%的爸爸和丈夫🙂
像很有意思的说教，换老师不换课本，换媒介不换信息，换汤不换药，实际上电影应该想着要不要讲小说而不是课本？要不要喝饮料而不是药？所以我们应该评价课本还是评价老师？每一个人都会觉得自己是最失败的那一个吧，就像每个宇宙中都有一样的东西。但真对不起我这没有什么可以让你们借用的
We're all small and f******king stupid...
1、这片子的最佳对照物其实是《你好李焕英》啊！2、绝望主妇在飞驰的过山车上一边上心理分析网课一边玩吴桥杂技，还要把所有踢出去的盘子（主题）接回来，编导技术性一流。属于必须在年富力强的时刻才能拍出这种聪明又缜密的片子。3、想象力超一流，但以此刺激亚裔中年女性复杂而疲惫的多角关系身心，诞生了一种又爽又不爽的体验，男编导让女性走传统男性英雄升级模板，却又竭力维持平衡，很不容易。4、明显看到亚洲各种文化符号在美国的流行度和刻板印象的糅杂。
打着动作片的旗号讲了一个所谓“以爱之名”的故事 片中时不时的煽情说教很生硬 浪费了那么多特效 很无聊的一个故事 拜托 american chinese不是只有永远的父权可以讲好吗
大概猜到了是大饼夹一切，可没想到是移民视角的八九十年代港片夹了个索拉里斯
在天马行空的想象和炫目的剪辑包装下，东亚家庭内核把握得很精准，为杨紫琼开心。爸爸那句“如果有来生，我还是会选择跟你一起，报税、开洗衣店”很戳泪点，早期华人赴美做的也就是洗衣工这些劳力工种，涵盖华裔三代人（父亲、夫妻、女儿）面貌的全宇宙。
电影不止于石头，我们也不是最后一代，亚细亚的孤儿们。
所以明明自己就可以跳进黑圈也要拉着母上
真的欣赏不了 可能是我理解不上去吧…太魔幻了 全程看着视觉冲击感觉混乱闹心 观感不爽 女儿的造型和爸爸的口音时时让我出戏 最好的就是两块石头那里吧 蹩脚的中文听着难受 天马行空的画面有的地方挺惊悚 也没法共情 恶趣味太多甚至有点精神污染 生理不适 怕做噩梦 强忍着把两个多小时看完的 看得好累 如坐针毡
从观影角度，内心毫无波澜，甚至有点闷；从鸡汤角度，不婚不育保平安~
属于杨紫琼的“One Job Away”， 吴洛茜、阿金、俞秀莲 、Philippa、Eleanor…所有过往的着力付出和倾情投入，在这里允许用一种“集大成”的方法来获得早应该属于她的荣耀和致敬；不敢说“奥提锁定、金球稳拿”这样的话，只希望不断进入事业佳境的她还可以有更多的机会，来刷新所有的上限与可能。好的科幻允许人们从中获得想象，跳出自身望见和接纳其它可能性的美好与不同；Evelyn跳转一个宇宙就是一次期望，跟随她还有总是不缺天马行空的双Daniel，飞檐走壁、捕捉感动也同样获得怪奇乐趣；它包含种种让人与之同样振动的设计与贴合时境的讨论，没有想到今年只过去了五个月，都可以自豪说我的Movie of the Year已经诞生了。
生活到底是永恒的苦痛与虚无，还是可以选择相信的爱与善意。在无垠的多重宇宙里游荡，选择走上救赎的道路，那么多一眼望到头的结局里，无意义的黑洞充斥着绝望的引力。可在这种种无意义的背后，我选择坚信，一切的矛盾与争吵都可以和解，所有的爱与善意都不会被辜负。
我不行了，从“How could you do this so easily”（爸爸丢弃女儿）开始泪点一个接着一个。无字幕可能丢失了一些信息，但不影响感觉到的天才和价值观冲撞后的真正融合。
内核是家庭故事，愛和包容，雖然這樣的老公換我我就不和解了······母女關係的描繪好精彩。
dildo棍法杠塞武力加成，轮椅机甲浣熊人体控制，大概率无生命星球石头谈心最高；多元宇宙终极杀场：税务局大楼；世界终结于：包罗万象面包圈黑洞；越浅尝辄止越一事无成便越有更多可能性，既然人生毫无意义，且让我们随心所欲，珍惜无聊愚蠢每一刻……再一次被好莱坞废柴逻辑打动到。最后人家都给出中文名《天马行空》了，为啥还要翻译成《瞬息全宇宙》？
用爱对抗虚无我感受到了 贝果很好 但问题解决得太梦幻太轻易了 老东亚家庭女儿不服 花活本身就是虚无 女团打歌服般的装束是虚无 各个空间中的故事线也是虚无 那其实这个爱也被各种花活解构掉了 爱得太轻易没重量 石头ppt本身就和脚谈德彪西一样是在玩 除了母亲抱着闺女离开黑洞 最打动我的反而是beta male爸爸往所有东西上贴小眼睛 👀
6.5分。母亲视角的《青春变形记》，所以最好的部分是前20分钟——一个中年女性面对父亲、丈夫、女儿、事业全面溃败的退无可退，其次好在，拯救她的不是别人，就是她自己。以最天马行空的形式和概念，讲最常规的女性中年困境，这两极间的结合与反差，是独属于我们这个互联网时代对于老旧的人生命题的新的打开方式。
