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'.

怎么说。。。写个标题就是：震惊！神奇女侠竟是tong妻！
犯我普俄者，虽远必诛……熟悉的配方，如出一辙
至于剧情嘛……你都看到石头贱贱和女武神三巨头了怎么还敢奢求剧情？
第一次在电影中展现苏-24是唯一的亮点。名为《天空》，但空战戏太少，不过瘾，想必这是现代空战的弊病，可电影是允许艺术加工的，就这么简单地远程空射了两枚导弹就结束，多少算是不合格。结构主次不分是最大的问题，空战仅有几分钟不说，最后的营救也不过十来分钟，126分钟的片子其余部分全是文戏和叙事。要说文戏重要也就罢了，感情渲染不到位，紧张感也没营造出来。多加一星给苏-24，第一次在动态下感受到奇葩的并列式双人座舱和战斗时的操作过程
5.0完全的风光爆米花电影，硬整节目效果，反转老套尴尬，毫无意义，人物严重脸谱化，雷诺兹只会耍贱，强森冷硬制造反差。投资巨大，娱乐效果说实话确实没带来，看够这种垃圾片了。
毫无说服力的反转，死板生硬的夺宝烂梗，火花约等于没有的铁三角—-没有任何东西能让人信服。空有复古腔调，却用绿幕填满了这个类型片该有的观光属性，丝毫没有作为爆米花的职业操守，白白浪费了这流畅、丝滑如德芙的摄影。这一切可以说是疫情所致，但两亿美刀就这点诚意？网飞未免心也太大了。
（涂个乐）
后面白天鹅都出动了，真是高射炮打二逼啊
没字幕生啃了一个俄语生肉，中间自己编对话，把老婆笑死，非战斗过场情节有点多，最后又有点吹牛皮，军舰和战轰都出动了。。。
周六的晚上，看一部这样的爆米花电影，也算是合格的消遣了。
還真是平淡，平淡到全程冷漠臉，除了通過監獄外面的縫隙越獄那段，想起小學之後課本上的插畫，那幅畫算是童年陰影之一，印象最深的也就那段了。
No.2360 缝合怪吧，一些见过的桥段拼接在一起，变成了一部好像很有意思的电影，但实际上剧本都经不起推敲。
制作水平在线，而且直面展现了美国唯恐天下不乱的本色，俄军装备的频繁出镜也让人惊喜。但无论是剧情编排还是人物塑造，都呈现出导演对这种军事类型片把控的生疏。大量回忆剧情的穿插，主角老友、青年死对头这种工具化角色的加入，让原本紧凑的剧情变得零散。尤其是当主角下线后，整个营救戏份就让观众失去了共情的着力点。最后除了秀一下俄军的肌肉，情感上难以为继。观感上与好莱坞成熟的军事类型片，如《黑鹰坠落》《孤独的生还者》之类，还有较大的差距。不过依然希望俄罗斯能够继续拍出这种军事电影，也算是对同一事件做了另外一个角度的展现。
三大明星，配角女警察也不错，整片逻辑顺滑到基本你能猜到，此处应有反转，嗯，果然有反转，但是不妨碍这是一部流畅且养眼的爆米花电影，在周末休息时候，看这么一部电影，挺幸福的。
太有意思了。rr的吐槽简直就是死侍来串场了。你竟然从这部电影，找回了90年代香港侠盗片的味道
他们的主旋律不太行啊 咱就是说 一整个emmm
每个人都在出演自己最拿手的角色模板，可惜故事实在太烂。如果不是编剧偷懒过头了，随便能上7.5分。
俄罗斯战狼。前面情感戏太多，后面战斗戏又太夸张。动作戏没爽到，军事戏又没啥系统军事技术。自high片！但老毛子军事上还是一直很强硬的，绝不客气。
还是风暴之门的套路个人生活战争画面交叉叙事。战争镜头少了点，最后小男孩有点刻意了。特效很真实很专业。还有看短评吐槽男主那么容易就牺牲了因为现实就是这样。还有此后战轰确实也出动了甚至直接用了录像。
同一件真事，《海豹突击队》里也有相关，放弃叙述故事的角度，只看战斗机飞。
