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'.

设定老套倒是无妨，超级英雄不也很老套吗？可只要节奏处理妥当，观众仍旧爱看。至于许多半娱半艺的科幻片，往往极力追求逼格，然而实际效果却是当文艺片看，太中二，当商业片看，又太无聊。如果说抖音上的短视频是10分钟带你看完2小时，那么《沙丘》就是花2小时看10分钟。节奏感太弱，叙事也过于冗长。娱乐性比文艺片都低。
好莱坞电影的本质就是要制造奇观，这一点完完全全的做到了，很多画面真的让人感到惊艳，且延续了作者性，并不突兀。剧本改编的切入点做的也非常棒，聚焦于新皇的个人成长，在预知能力和个人反抗上下足了文章，且节奏不乱，降低观影门槛，做到了雅俗共赏，真的让人惊叹。再过几年沉淀真的可以拿奥斯卡了。
比遮遮掩掩的《银翼杀手2049》好。全片弥漫New Age Sentimentality，越过创痛直通拯救，这是由Malick的《新世界》所确立的。
沙丘的音效好像把我装进一个沙盒里，然后使劲晃使劲晃，中间还配着圣经班的吟唱，洗脑了三小时。
还不错。不敢说完美但是看完起码对Part2充满期待。盛世美颜。中文会成为未来世界的神秘语言。
4分给配乐，视觉特效和演技（甜茶太棒了）。叙事非常的predictable，对比权游的话感觉有点平平无奇。对于zandaya的出演表示大写的问号。从种族的角度看对于不同家族的刻画有些过于刻板，差评。
四星半，好看！又长又慢，但就是不觉得长不觉得慢。
找一万个理由也没法说服自己“两个半小时的预告片”是个好电影。/ 当你发现所有的影评都以氛围感为核心发散开来找角度吹，但没人说它“精彩”，那它注定不精彩。银翼杀手2049的内核比沙丘更通俗，美学更普世，沙丘这个德行蹭银翼杀手属于越级了（就是说银翼杀手好看不一定这部就好看
前一半篇幅基本都用来铺垫故事背景和世界观，真正的故事从中间一半才算开始，总篇幅差不多可缩减一半。即便如此，剩下的故事也可一句话可归纳为王子落难记，没有太多深度的人性和思辨。
在IMAX观影，像是一种包裹之下的屈服，尤其是面对史诗级的影像，我没有反抗的权力。
喜欢这些硬汉演员的直男看不进这么文艺的东西，喜欢文艺的人又觉得太空了，除了画面美服装道具美，整部电影感觉都可以成为尿点。
牛逼，按照💓🍷人的基本思维，肯定会抱怨高科技文明竟然还用冷兵器互殴，我佩服这些没文化的
3。5吧，迪士尼在逃王子在阿布扎比演了3个小时的trailer。张震可真的是要笑死我了，他说的第一句中文我甚至一个字都没听懂！甜茶听起来口音都比他biu准。看到爸爸死的时候我开始怀疑自己在看GoT电影版。最后赞美一下海王，真的是魅力大哥。
Villeneuve永遠不會讓我失望。
28号下班快到家时，忽然想看，马上去超市买了一瓶干白，在英皇看了晚上7点10分那场。非常喜欢，有一种梦境般的感觉，视听感受都很到位，因此酒喝得也很舒坦，像是科幻文艺片，我甚至觉得情节再少一点会更好。真希望能尽快看到后面的部分啊。
非常丹尼斯维伦纽瓦。想不起来上次在大银幕看到五幕式是什么时候了，不过这也不是导演第一次用五幕式。他算是一个很会用声音的导演。连续剧式的拍法难免令人不爽，但不论是视听语言，还是在美学上同样融合了复古与未来的美术设计，都令我无法不喜欢。
另外甜茶好瘦，自从看了他言语霸凌女同学的八卦之后，怎么看怎么像一副刻薄面孔……
没有读过原著，看之前稍微做了些功课，不然要被开头那些长的陌生名词搞晕，其实是很简单的殖民主义文学架构。看的时候有《哈利波特》的即视感。无论是BDO美术、汉斯季默的音乐，还是音言(The Voice)的呈现，这部片都属于要不去好影院看，要不就不用看的类型。 眼盲没认出邓肯就是海王，还觉得“哇，这就是我心目中刺客信条里的刺客真人啊！” :D 看碟中谍的时候就很喜欢丽贝卡·弗格森，这部里也是很有戏。比较不喜欢的是邓肯护主那段，感觉拍得有点儿低端；还有，不喜欢台词一直在聊高温的时候，画面呈现出来毫无暴晒感，甚至是极度冷调的（但是想了一下，基于故事氛围，确实是有点儿难表现）。另外没看懂岳医生和保罗的交易，准备补补原著的部分。既《降临》后，维伦纽瓦又突出关注了“语言”。强烈期待瓦伦纽尔版的Cleopatra（IMAX 2D
一定要看激光IMAX场，看完那个画面和音响效果才会懂得为什么那么多人推这部片，否则会误以为他是部垃圾片。
只是个预告？150分钟看了个预告片？请问第一季何时开拍……
