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'.

真的不如花一个多亿拍个艾默里奇版《鲨卷风》，至少人家荒谬且有趣，本片真的只有荒谬。制作粗糙的程度不输上一部《中途岛》，灾难戏份可以说毫无紧张感和代入感，而文戏无聊的程度应该是导演个人作品之最，甚至比《星际之门》、《爱国者》还要无聊，实力派的主演们一个个演得和梦游一样，于文文演了个。。。保姆？？？不过演技比AB自然多了，英语说得不错，下次别演了。
片名打出来才明白敢情是用无人机给LA写情书。上天入地钻车底的摄影机高速穿梭在大红大绿里，平均每个镜头停留不足一秒，再辅以我脑公马景涛附体的表演，催吐效果一流。
灾难片大导转型科幻片
阴谋论科幻爱好者狂喜。希望把地面部分的戏份全砍掉！剧本台词是脚写的吧？剪辑的时候不尬吗 有些地方我看得都脚趾抠地了……另外4D把刚车祸过的我晃得更晕了………… 2022/3/28@英皇with C
以为是灾难片，看着看着就变成科幻片了。导演一如既往的想从小人物那里挖掘出情感，以达到观众的共情，但是这样的套路太老了，观众都不爱看了～
不愧是爆炸贝，中间大段的追车爆炸戏看的确实挺无聊的，无人机镜头晃来晃去，偶尔几次还行，太多了真有点晕头转向。好在节奏一直在线，两个多小时的片长也撑得过去，并且最后结尾扳回一城，对人性善恶的挣扎使得本片还并不只是纯纯的“爽片”而已。总而言之，也是近期来比较可看的了。吉伦哈尔真的帅啊。
看看特效和大场面还可以，但是剧情各种跳脱，角色不要太标配
之前被卖拷贝的变5折腾吐了，后来再也没看过卖拷贝新片，5年来其他商业片看来看去，再看到卖拷贝的新片，突然有种当初第一次看到变形金刚的感觉，那炫酷感真的很爽，无人机用的蛮新颖的，镜头飞上飞下的是真的有让人感到飞起，在电影院跟坐过山车一样，以及卖拷贝标志性的旋转镜头，太经典了，即使看了很多遍，再看到依旧觉得，是史上最能装逼的镜头了。可惜最后的圣母煽情把这些情绪给毁了，包来这套了啊
这片子唯一的优点就是它不是续集，也不会有续集
我竟然点过想看。。。所以将你眼睛闭了起来，关闭吐槽模式，权游胖纸温暖依旧的笑容和男主以及竟然觉悟了不无良3D再加完全免费看了杜比全景声中国巨幕厅勉强可以加一星啦，哈莉真的好拉。地球居然不是平的？
也没有那么糟糕，只是这么多名演员凑一块不该是这个结果，没看浪姐的人应该不熟悉于文文，说实话本来还有一定好感，放到这部片里又觉得太违和了
居然比想象中要好，赛车追逐戏还有些新意，远比速度与激情有看点。镜头虽然新颖，无人机360度视角，但确实太晃了，小屏幕看都有些难受。导演风格强烈，女主是典型的导演选角类型。文戏居然也没有拉胯，最后竟然有些小感动。劫匪救护车上帮助做手术挺有想法，作为一个为了给女儿手术筹钱治病的父亲，可以理解。但抢了37次银行的世家子弟每次计划都这么野蛮草率（但运气又特别好）的吗？杰克还去去大学学犯罪学。但还是太长了，有些拖沓。
看不下去了，剧情太烂，夜晚的几场戏特效也假，抠图痕迹明显。
2.5 这应该属于新神话故事吧？
原来这真的一部科幻片，编剧的脑洞可真大，这ai能被炸死也是没想到，这剧情真的逻辑好多问题太扯了，也就特效能看看了，反正去电影院就为了看特效的
今天刚看的。特效好看的太少，很多背景看起来有点假。剧情也不太流畅，外星人设定让人难以信服。灾难场面看着不紧张，也很突兀，突然就冒出个灾难场景试图打无聊的剧情似的，但剧情中的人物，没有人特别紧张，只是表情上显得紧张，但人物的情绪不紧张的一种观感体验。
这部片子被豆瓣狂骂一点也不冤，除了BUG满满的科幻设定，民科臆想式的逻辑每每言中，浅显而套路看腻歪了的亲情纠葛，前妻，父子或是牺牲，毫无阅读的新鲜感，AI叛乱，登月阴谋，月亮中空而且是秘密基地或飞行器，脑残美帝政府要核爆撞击者，你以为你是龟仙人啊。大灾难末日的视觉效果上当然还是世界顶级的，虽然早就不新鲜了，但毕竟爽还是爽的。海啸摧毁城市，城市上空的陨石雨，爆米花指数还是够的，艾默里奇，拍过2012，后天，独立日，这些经典灾难片，本片如出一辙而已，虽然不新鲜，怎么这次口碑就垮这么狠呢。大概也因为疫情吧，大家都有点腻味的意思，你毫无新意还喊着煽情的口号，这几年大家都被忽悠瘸了，再听你毫无诚意地忽悠，实在恼火，XW联播我不敢骂，骂你还不行吗？不过实话说，剧情虽然幼稚牵强，特效还挺好，剧情无脑也凑合
我一个资深3D游戏玩家竟然晕这部电影。试了三次，真心无法坚持看完。无人机的发明原来给迈克尔贝带来了如此巨大的“伤害”。充斥着各种从意想不到的刁钻角度探出的镜头，例如镜头从裤裆里， 从后脑勺侧部，从对面人的裆下等等等等。这么多跟剧情一毛钱关系都没有的裤炫刁钻取景方式，也确实难为制作组的用心了。
被豆瓣5.4的低分骗了，应该去影院看，当然是指的大场面、规模和壮观的景象，剧情还是比较老套，主角总是有好运气，最弱智的情节是那个将军阻止发射核弹，说我相信妻子能成功，因为她从没失败过！但是这些都可以忽略，毕竟这片子我看的是硬科幻。
不过跟月球沾边儿的阴谋论就是有效（虽然我不信，但是很爽，就跟垃圾食品一样？？？）而且是一次给足，从被人工智能毁灭的宇宙文明到人类起源，要是接下来地球复兴直接《独立日3》了
