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'.

无奈原著小说已经显得过时，所以本身也没太期待，电影表现中规中矩，在我看来甚至不如林奇版《沙丘》，起码老版猎奇之中还带点怪异，看得出些许个性和创意。许多人把这版《沙丘》跟《指环王》比，维伦纽瓦和彼得杰克逊中间也就隔了一个诺兰吧...下次再也不看杜比了。
场面很宏达 画面很唯美 就是我要睡着了 磨皮擦痒 如坐针毡 无聊透顶 再加上跳大神的音乐 说到这里 本来打的两星我要再减一星 再见
有很多男性写小说一样的优缺点，世界观很宏大，男主很厉害，但就是……看得困，不动人。谁能告诉我，男主和他妈真的没有点什么吗？！
到沙漠逃亡的部分渐入佳境，可惜突然就结束了，以及对这种陈词滥调的"The One"故事着实无感。
全程被汉斯•季默的象牙匕首顶着喉咙，听他嘶吼：我大不大！我大不大？！
是怎么做到既无聊又精彩的……真是奇了怪了。//Rebecca太美了！//3.5星
原著粉泪流满面。保罗在imax巨屏里看见自己的梦境慢慢成为现实，我坐在观众席上看见自己的梦境慢慢成为现实。
视听体验极致，节奏把控优秀，让人从始至终沉浸在强大的氛围之中，以至于可以忽视有些单薄的情节和人物。科幻片拍出来宗教包裹的感觉，夹杂着几分神秘与邪典色彩。若你看出了星球大战、异形、异星灾变、甚至阿凡达的味道，不要惊讶，因为它们原本就是《沙丘》的产物。佐杜洛夫斯基的遗憾，维伦纽瓦算是填补上了一些。
导致周围的人群发出一片叹息。
这种电影就很容易筛选同好了，要参与豆瓣短评讨论你能给气死。
从第一幕皇帝派遣信使送任命开始 被画面震住了 配上汉斯季末的配乐 感官完全被打开 这完全不曾想象过的庞大异世界 维伦纽瓦替我们复制可视了出来 且156分钟没有一秒钟妥协。节奏稳的一比 两个半小时拍了个序又如何 如果能一直看到续作 是我的荣幸才对。

确实是一个很幼稚的权谋故事，但是在目前低迷的电影市场中，我们太需要这样一部足够电影的电影了。它必须用大银幕来观看，它追求沉浸而非互动，它能给你带来短视频和电视剧所无法做到的共同体验，它重申电影的价值。为了看2D IMAX，只能买周六早八的票，结果全场竟然有二三十个人，令人感动。牛蛙，我命令你立刻开始拍2！赶紧的别拖拉！
很稳健的好电影。媒体高赞新时代星战也没问题。方方面面都把控很好，原著党和完全不了解世界观去看的人都觉得看下来很舒服。选角也挺适合。我一般懒得夸寂寞汉，但这次配乐把沙漠天空下宏大苍凉的宿命感陪衬得真到位。
好的，这下我知道情人眼里出西施有多严重了。（低情商说法：脑残粉有多不可信）
座无虚席，结束以后其他美国人起立鼓掌。服化道都很完美，每一个飞船都太好看了，完全沉浸在欣赏工业设计美学里。故事一点也不未来是中世纪权谋+古希腊悲剧的结合，挺古典的，能看得出后面星战的原力、权游的故事都有借鉴沙丘。让人诟病的冷兵器打架其实也是原著故意为之。去补原著了，之前没看完TT
这有啥看不懂的 为什么冒出来很多男的说女的看不懂 干什么啥都要拉踩我们女的
Masterpiece！Splendid！Tremendous！激动到发抖！作为一部节奏舒缓、毫无高潮的科幻史诗的序幕，竟然能拍到如此之好！一直在想最后应该会展现传说中吊足了观众胃口的地下城奇观，竟然没有展现，导演若非胸有成竹自信爆棚，断然不敢如此嚣张！科幻片的一种高度原创的全新形态出现了！美术一百分！在黄蓝灰主色调里居然能做出这般的层次感！最后近乎黑白的破晓前夜景戏太敢太美！配乐一百分！风声中的沙子吹进了我的耳朵！甜茶一百分！天选之子的气质拿捏得死死的！IMAX一百分！二刷再去杜比影院瞅瞅！一刷【广州云门美亚IMAX COLA】二刷【东莞华南万达IMAX GT】三刷【佛山金沙洲万达杜比3D】
还是熟悉的牛蛙，一定要刷IMAX，得去看原著补课了。
吵得耳朵疼，受不了……然后八千年后竟然还是父权社会还强调血脉啥的……设定是古代我都信啊！
