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'.

现在的好莱坞就像一个当了小干部的中年人，脑子里有自己的一套所谓“正确思想”，并且乐此不疲、充满爹味地想把它们灌输给所有人。
黑豹不会懂得良心谴责的含意。
永恒族背景设定我很喜欢，意料之中，《永恒族》风格跟漫威以往电影截然不同，可惜这么好的题材被赵婷打得稀烂。
7/10 超英电影学学赵婷的打光好吗，“自然光”能不能在2021年崛起
7.3/10 近年最喜欢的MCU电影，可惜野心太大，导致世界观逐渐构建后难以继续推进本部需阐述的“行动”，后半段略有虎头蛇尾之势，但前半段关于人类古文明的构想极为富有魅力，在基调上达成了某种意义上的去中心化，并高举一种普世的高度人本主义的反战反冲突情怀，即便其在复杂度上依旧值得存疑。选角似乎是最成功之处，MCU常见的固有的骄傲或美式的自信在此处收敛许多，取而代之的则是一种混杂了家庭/爱情/友情等情感元素的群像，各有特色且带有些许东方式的沉稳。在这个剧本体量下，导演依旧能够顺利融入自己风格化的自然光/荒原地景描绘等元素，且将节奏把握在一个相对可控的范围中，值得期待未来的作品。
像泰伦斯马利克执导飞儿乐团MV的味道，《千年之恋》《亚特兰蒂斯》《我们的爱》《月牙湾》
而复联代表正义和道德，他们不会牺牲一半人来换取另一半人存活。
让女性当主角，让女性当team leader，让女性当导演漫威才有救，漫威第一部真正比较diverse的电影，终于不再只有一个白人女性当平衡性别比例的工具人，而且主角是有色人种女性！！！女性角色塑造也都很好，好得仿佛不像漫威电影（嘲讽.jpg），看不得diverse卡司和人设的人建议还是去重温前十年的漫威电影吧你们也只配看又男又白的垃圾了（很mean
明明就很漫威啊 what are you guys talking about。倒是能看出 MCU 越来越毁天灭地的 scale 朝着龙珠那种数值膨胀的节奏去了，怕是很难好看的姿势收场了。另外难以想象朱莉已经愿意演这种亮点缺缺的配角了。
“宇宙很大很大，地球就是宇宙的一粒沙，我们人类连一粒沙都没有”，那么永恒族就是两颗沙吧。非要说夹带私货，那可能是各葫芦娃的功能设定和组队过程吧，随后在平克·弗洛伊德的TIME倒计时中，瑟后飞不出如来佛的五指山，伊卡洛斯像吃兔头般掰着变异族激光烧烤。随队纪录片成分如果大一点，或许能喜欢一些吧。
灭霸响指毁的不是地球，毁的是漫威，开启了漫威无限下坡路时代。本片的意义：观看一群我喜欢的演员嘉玛陈、麦登、朱莉、马东锡如何被漫威大锅炖浪费。嘉玛陈：md我又是仿生人。
音乐很喜欢，动作戏很喜欢，女主很喜欢，配角反派也还不错！但自从后面小女孩出现以后编剧的脑子就好像被门挤过了一样，弱智情节比比皆是，小女孩演的也是无比的让人厌恶。
二五仔可还行；
小女孩的演技赛爆了。这部电影才是女性帮助女性啊，厌烦那些大叔拯救萝莉了。
可能是期待值被口碑拉太低了，以至于看完觉得没那么糟糕？需要讲述的人物众多+导演的风格表达/融入+超英电影模式，相互给压力，整体感觉还是比较赶的，走马观花。
不懂为什么这么低分，非常棒的女性动作片。男凝镜头少，打戏利落，虽然反转套路但剧情也不错，人物出彩。Kate和亚仁太有化学反应了，酷姐和太妹好搭调。真希望这类型的电影能多一些。
三星半。不曾比肩神明，也无法归于人海；冠以永恒之名，却深谙轮回之苦。见证了蛮荒的杀戮，于是渴求生存的意义，经历过干涸的岁月，所以贪图点滴的爱意。踏遍弱水去敲响悲鸣的丧钟，相去天渊也不绝爱情的回响，难以揣摩天地便只能向尘世的幸福低头，无法面对阴影便唯有朝太阳的灰烬走去。
算是今年漫威本部的三部里最让人惊喜的了，也是漫威至今最为宏大的作品，虽然有假大空的嫌疑，但相比之前的合家欢里，这一部有杀戮有背叛，这群神也在信仰中挣扎，最后将神性抛诸脑后。彩蛋埋的雷太大，感觉到了新篇章的到来。
非常不漫威（几乎是一部剧情片了），但我好喜欢。人物轮流出场的第一部“打地基”的片子非常难拍，一不小心就成了过家家，但赵婷完成得很好。主旨还是“人类是否值得拯救”，但到达主旨的路径比“要不要打个响指死一半人”幽微很多，包含了爱与背叛，甚至对自由意志的讨论。在荧幕上看到打手语，有听障的超级英雄和同性之间的吻都好让我激动，但最感动的还是imposter syndrome最强烈，自我认同感往往很低的亚裔女主成为了“天选之女”（而非白男），她克服自己的低自尊选择试一试的过程让我看到自己，一个大爆哭。”I can’t help you, it’s your fight now.”呜呜呜呜，我也要加油！
