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'.

有李沧东，有许秦豪，有金基德，有可以一体两面显现半岛分裂精神的刃剑
剧情流畅，执着的相信，培养大小威的过程，改变孩子都命运，片尾有点刻意升华到黑人、种族这些美国的常态……不过，放大了的是父爱，缩小了的是私信和踩踏
will smith演的不错，best picture是指定拿不到了吧。比起往年的I tonya，既没有体育精神，也没有人性深度，父亲的成功学视角非常无聊，还不如从大威小威视角来拍。
真是不错的电影。
作为非洪粉，甚至洪黑，三星都给敏后了。太逆天了，这真的是在拍电影吗？还是在秀恩爱？洪在摄影机后面和敏后互相表露爱意，为了敏后和她手中的花而将影像转为了彩色。像室外等所有高光区域全部过曝这种问题，是铁定的技术瑕疵啊，虽然我知道他也不care… 从电影节抢人的角度来看，那柏林是相当成功了，为自己争夺嫡系作者，从而建立稳固关系，按照近几年柏林这么疯狂的给奖，下一次还不得给洪金熊？另外洪的这种创作方式和制作模式在疫情的大环境之下确实体现出了优越性。
King Richard
同样在今天身为少数族裔star的球迷能强烈的感受到，在又一年的外卡参赛中，坚忍的拿下每一分，拿下无数的种子，经历每一场，一路杀入决赛经历一次次的2-1。即使经历失败。你也能感受璀璨若坚忍若伊斯坦布尔天空的红色霞光。海上已掀起新的波涛，这是向往的汪洋大海啊。
真的好无聊，不如直接做个ppt梳理一下大小威的时间线。角度选得刁钻但做得很失败，既没有把理查德刻画得特别好，也浪费了大小威，真就是唯一的好就是威尔史密斯的表演了。奥斯卡影帝揽入囊中了。
第一个教练太亏了
入坑网球后还是挺有感触的，没有描述后来如何成功反而聚焦成功前的故事也算比较新颖了，虽然感觉出来导演想要升华主题到种族问题上但是表达得磕磕巴巴，以及妈妈也很伟大呀😙

结局是一种主流表达的转变 哎威尔史密斯都这么老了呀
就这？威尔史密斯靠这部得奖，跟当年桑德拉布洛克靠弱点得奖，有啥区别吗？都不是职业生涯中最展现演技的作品，只是对多年工作的一个奖励罢了！看来对于很多好莱坞演员来说，他们的演技也只能寄托内部排排坐食果果的奥斯卡了，欧洲三大或是再专业一点的奖是没指望了！一个普信男，靠着老婆的基因、老婆没日没夜地打工挣钱、纠正小女儿的错误打球法，最后换来的一句却是，没有我，你和你那三个没爸爸的女儿还住在贫民窟呢！啊！男人总是知道如何伤害女人！女儿成功了，做父亲的怎么吹牛逼都有人愿意听愿意信呢，可是女人不生孩子，他屁都没有，还78页的计划呢！很好奇原始剧本是什么样的，如果这就是原始剧本的话，我确实没看出剧本黑名单的特质呢！2021年了，好莱坞居然更爹系了！这个世上有无爹，对女性和孩子，都是一种摧残呢！
如此值得玩味的人物性格与其之间的关系，竟然轻描淡写地组织成了一部浓浓的鸡汤电影，体育竞技中的那些残酷与反人性元素完全没有展现。倒还不如直接去掉人物性格的阴暗面还有结尾的伪反高潮，直接拍成当幸福来敲门那种励志到底的电影，还能更好地造梦一把赚取眼泪。
拳击，真的很重要。
为什么不能一起开心快乐
说实话，第一眼没看出来威尔史密斯。说是运动传记题材，描绘姐妹俩的内容其实很少，甚至还透露出很多种族歧视的相关内容，所以原本的题材定位应该说是不太合适的。理查德的教育方式成功了还好，如果失败了，不知道孩子是否会怨恨，又或者他自己会自责？虽然有个掌控性太强的父亲会让人觉得有些透不过气，但是对比那些只是当摆设的父亲，大小威廉姆斯真的是很幸运了
拳击，真的很重要。
看得太累了，两个半小时的老套流水账。最精彩的是片尾纪录片片段和碧昂丝歌声的串剪。运动不运动，家庭不家庭，种族不种族，女权不女权。镜头也平淡。史皇的发挥，好但不优秀。只是这题材太适合冲奥罢了。
很平平无奇的传记片，威尔就像那种最普通的父亲，拼了老命一直给孩子提供各种可能性。
