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'.

剧情设定很套路，Finch和人类社会的分离一带而过，他又是否渴求与人交流呢？重点想表达的信任，只是靠离去升华是否多少有点被动？
《芬奇》又是这样一部典型的作品。末世人类的世界设定，关于抵达目的地同是又是自我认知的追寻旅程。主角芬奇与机器人杰夫互为镜像同时又成为了传承。以上这些其实仍然是常见的公路电影的内在核心。只是《芬奇》显得更有决心，因为整个片子的正序叙事中没有出现第二个人类。也正因为如此，《芬奇》唯一的缺点可能正是过于工整，过于四平八稳了。
宅起的阿甘，带上荒岛伙伴，往西部去寻找未来紫外线世界。虽然是难被打动的大主角情怀片，但似乎也在说不远的未来，没有了党派、主义、路线之争后，甚至没有了人类之后，无机物和狗狗才能建立信任
科幻版荒岛求生。特效蛮假。但是有可爱毛毛狗和机器狗诶！！！
看着瘦骨嶙峋的汤叔真的直观的感受到末日的绝望，旅程的遭遇更是让人感到孤独，绝望，芬奇担心自己不在，杰夫没办法照顾好goodyear，距离旧金山不远处看到蝴蝶的瞬间，感受阳光的瞬间，支起遮阳伞，that is it，living，就在这感受生活最后的瞬间。btw教育真的很重要，芬奇选的书，和他分享给杰夫的故事，和杰夫说的话，将他变成这个有爱的机器人，教他和狗建立信任，但是又不要信任任何人。很矛盾，可是却是生存下去的方法。芬奇设定的程序，永远不要伤害人类也不能坐视人类被伤害，芬奇既绝望却又在杰夫身上寄予着希望，显示了不失人性的一面。
值得静下来慢慢欣赏。养狗人哭爆
加长版《三个机器人》，群众喜闻乐见、老少咸宜的轻度温情科幻片。故事刻意掩盖了黑暗残酷的地方（虽然有部分透露），把末世的故事写的更像是个家庭成长故事，汤姆汉克斯真的是老了。
-＂Because trust will get you killed.＂
真好啊 没有打架www 我也想做出jeff 。 还有金门大桥那里真的超无聊的！
近几年看过最好的公路片了，Don McLean的歌选的太妙了，画面和节奏太舒服了，tom hanks的演技内敛又强大，故事也像《机器人总动员》的前传，真好
虽然显而易见的是，《芬奇》隶属于科幻片的范畴，但我很难以此对待，我更愿意将它视为一部家庭亲情片和公路片的混合产物。所以当我们随着汉克斯这位美国良心漫游整个旅程时，会感到阵阵暖意。你会发现，不管是那条需要呵护的小狗，还是机器人杰夫，亦或者那个只会运输的小机器人，都给人一种治愈的能力，这是好莱坞拍摄这类影片百试不爽的绝招，总能让人为这些看似不起眼的小角色饱含深情。
只有一个主演的电影太适合汉克斯了，没有用力的表演，但不留痕迹的把观众带入情境。杰夫和狗狗，末路也变得晴朗可爱。杰夫照镜子的瞬间，我简直看到了他内心的惊讶悸动，还有杰夫不停运动的双手，及时表达出他的情绪，天，机器多好，比人更温暖，更让人愿意信任。虽然从起动杰夫的问话开始，就能猜到结局，可是，还会让人有兴致地看他们把故事好好构建起来，坦然接受这样的设定。好吧，不要太纠结杰夫的动力及他的材质为啥那么孔武有力。真希望是个连续剧，汉克斯、杰夫、狗狗，一直在。
剧情基本没有什么槽点，很汉克斯的风格，没有过于激烈的剧情冲突，稳健地讲述出了一场人，机器人，狗的公路旅行。
主人带着机器宠物离开了基地，坐在沙丘上等死。
6. 拖延症会错失看世界，必须说走就走的旅行。
3.5，坍塌的末世，遥远的金门大桥，血肉苦弱，却教机械飞升。慢热，节奏感不强，披着科幻灾难皮但是却是一部探讨人性意义的剧情片，冲突弱但是表现手法还是挺加分的，印象深刻的还是隧道下的那场戏，闪电雷鸣大雨，还有那句“我知道你昨天才出生，但你现在也该学着长大了”ps:机器人一直挨骂有点小心酸的。
末世是老美擅长的题材，人工智能版温情版本《我是传奇》，Goodyear是轮胎（不是），是没能和家人一起度过的日子。人工智能再怎么智慧，似乎也只能装模作样地继承人类的情感，0和1之外还有无法度量的事务。配乐和镜头感极好
提出了人类与机器人良性共存的可能性。人类表现出懦弱，无知，脆弱等一系列缺点，而机器人也表现出了包容，坚强，睿智等一系列优点。特别难得的，他们还相互表达了爱和信任。。
疫情隔离在家看了这部关乎于末日关乎于陪伴的片，坐在戈壁上和狗子抛球玩的情节直接戳爆泪点。关于汤姆汉克斯的电影直接无脑五星就完了
想到《末日危途》，这个有点太干净了，没那么末日。三星半
