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'.

什么鬼。陈词滥调。幻视了一堆电影，死去的记忆在攻击我，呜呜呜。
废话少。节奏快，基本符合逻辑。近期为数不多的爽片，值得一看
自从书写了夏娃偷食禁果之后，女性至今逃不过被男性归罪的轮回。前半段以绿色为主色调，大自然与女主的回音契合得非常有默契，画面充满美感，刚刚逃离男人的女主得以得到片刻的喘息。后半段用了地狱般的红色做了一场大戏，令女人恐惧的五种男人上演连环孕育。这段很解气，男性完全可以靠自己繁衍后代，但是男性繁衍出来的后代，没有一个好东西。这些罪恶的果实，却反过来强有力地对女人进行着精神控制，成功达到了心理恐怖的境界，其中还不乏思考性。虽然故事到最后都不是太能看懂，但可以肯定的是这部片子绝对不差。女性始终被男性凝视，谴责，伤害，女性需要走出这场矛盾的困局，摆脱被历史强行施加的罪名。当然大部分得靠女性自己的力量，因为帮助自己的男性，到最后很可能是伪善者。
立意挺好，但男导演没有拍出女性在男权社会里真正的焦虑和恐惧。全片都是流于表面的情绪氛围，作为女性我也很难体会到女主的恐惧情绪。
女生不要独自一人去住Airbnb，尤其是那种风景如画的英国小村庄
（7.4/10）自夏娃偷食禁果以来，女性便承担着男性犯下错误的后果。加兰对“男人都是一个样”作出了字面上的理解，将观众置于女主角的处境，亲身体验对女性的心理操纵，并将男权历史的延续浓缩于一场精彩的肉体恐怖戏份。《男人》是加兰的态度之作，但内容略为单薄，思考也比较流于表面。
总觉得高司令演这种角色不够凶猛？小姑娘倒是个美人胚子。
在我心里，男主永远是那个操过猪的英国首相。
虽然又是老套的网飞流水线动作片，但还是希望下次能看到像这样新鲜的卡司。“我能嚼口香糖吗？”
從小清新到最後看的有點反胃。果然有皮燕子的橋段
有颜有演技有作品的一众好班底，拍了部毫无精彩的类型片，从开始监狱捞人培训新锐杀手，到后面发现顶头上司是坏boss，超可爱小罗莉也让这个6号不太冷……满满都是动作商业片玩剩的套路。唯一能坚持到底的因素是加特技的世界各地美景，打得蛮爽～还一直打一直爽～从泰国曼谷到阿塞拜疆巴库、冰岛的雷克雅未克……想炸哪里就随CIA开心，小灰机说飞滴。

跟踪狂、暴露癖、强奸犯、gas lighting、toxic masculinity、道貌岸然的男人以善意为借口压榨恐吓女性，也许男性观众看了要啧啧称奇，但这只是一个半小时的对女性日常生活的展现，男权社会日常对女性的身心压迫罢了，男人们厌女又渴望女人的身体，女主聪明、强大、独立又如何，依然被折磨被威胁，教女人如何不恐男人？
我知道要表达什么 可是我只想要简单看个恐怖片
我太爱A24了 我太爱Alex Garland了 选角也太精辟了！在戛纳和几百人一起看 一起尖叫 一起噫也太棒了吧 这氛围是疫情后两年没看过真实肉绽惊心片的伤痛后遗症带来的应激反应！！再次试问带有社会批判意义的片谁不喜欢呢？这Men就该翻译成“男人” 女性被跟踪、尾随、暴力对待每时每刻都在haut她第二性的灵魂 这片子是对厌女绝佳的呈现 女性观众在观看的同时被迫带入两种维度的恐惧感 这种回到现实依然瑟瑟发抖的感觉 是Men让你无处可逃的铁证 有一个五星给我最爱的A24❤️
很套路但很爽的很典型的奈飞的特工片，不过高司令真的很帅，即便本姬佬的铁石心肠不会为男人而动，但还是觉得高司令很帅
《男人》——一个女人反复逃离男权社会拥有的五种形态：丈夫，控制的主体；神父，伪善的知识；孩子，冲动的行为；房东，物质的囚牢；裸男，自我的投射。后来生孩子到有点中国志怪小说的意思，男人们真是无处不在。
就跟红色通缉令一样，都是把钱花去旅游去，风景好看！
tbh感觉比john wick好看一点（）
看了下Alex Garland的采访。剧本第一稿写于十五年前，生育生育生育的场景受进击的巨人影响。导演的表达我只能解读为；男人本就残缺，没有女人只能不停复制自己。看起来在讲厌女，其实all about MEN
