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'.

虽说基本是粉丝向续集，不过沃卓斯基这个恶搞吐槽自嘲的劲头，多少也有点当年特里吉列姆的感觉了。当年有多炫目的视觉先锋，现在就有多暴躁不羁的自戳双目。
我神化我自己，我吐槽我自己，我重复我自己，因为我知道，我突破不了我自己了。
众所周知，“黑客帝国”是个形容词。这一部还是很黑客帝国的，但和前作比的确没什么新意，比较像一部送给粉丝的情怀之作。廉颇老矣，多给半星，希望有续作。
从剧本到表演都摆明了主创「我不想拍/演」的情绪，都这样了，还需要眨眼吗？
如果你放弃《黑客帝国:矩阵重启》是“黑客帝国”三部曲的正统续集的想法，也许你就会好受些。以我个人过去的经验，中文名字里带有“重启”，英文名字带有“Re”前缀的续作都逃不过扑街的命运。
【有彩蛋】因为这个电影学习到了一个新词：gobbledygook，就是拍得太样板了搞到有点四不像的感觉，灵感、创意都是重复的，虽然不说有多烂俗但亮点确实是乏善可陈。更喜欢Neo和Trinity的一开始互不认识的相遇，后来就有点为了强行凑合他们的意思。更不要提令人dizzy的动作戏了。而且，由于距离前三部实在过于遥远，提及以前剧情的时候，如果事先不看前三部。那可是相当无聊的文戏；不过优点还是有的，比如说自行对甲方的官方吐槽，以及新版的Morpheus的服装搭配也很亮眼，视觉特效对比20多年前观感相对流畅多了。不温不火，但作为相对完整的三部曲，《矩阵重启》的出现有点多余。“多亏”了漫威，现在好莱坞时不时都要搞个宇宙来玩一下。 / 2022.1.18 SFC上影美罗城
依然有一些还算不错的场景设计和特效画面，但并没有出现特别新鲜的内容。只有一场戏，一群人从高楼上跳下往地上摔的场景看起来还挺酷的。
感觉这部续集就是卖弄情怀，剧情也没什么新意，狗尾续貂毁经典
拍得很诚恳，适合粉丝团聚吃吃爆米花，挺好。
居然…有爽到。虽然全程剧情胡扯且无比拖沓，旧片花的剪辑未免也太用力过猛，但是用力过猛的打戏和骚骚的小乔版 Smith 看得还是蛮爽的，bots 改走 world war z 和釜山行似的僵尸战术了倒是有点偷懒。sense 8 演员再就业市场，可惜角色都不出彩。
勉强及格。这部电影并不是前三部的延续，反而像麻辣香锅，什么都东西拿进去炒一炒。在John wick中打戏明明不错，变回Neo后只能靠龟波气功。后半部中老年人的夕阳爱情故事我只能打一个问号❓ 劝还没有看的人期待不要太高才能真正享受这部电影。
。。。湊合看比較好，當初就沒什麼期待。導演本人都已經吐槽一遍了，就不用多說什麼了。
1，其实我特别喜欢胶片电影的质感，这部和前几部的电影质感区别特别明显，有点变成奈飞网络大电影的感觉了。2，这一部变得更哲学了。3，片尾有彩蛋，千万要忍住一长串超长演员表。4，影片各种闪回是有意义的。5，自己吐槽自己也是没谁了，风格变化太大一时接受不了。
take the red pill-- taken~
这确定不是为了让《超感八人》的演员在大荧幕上露脸而拍的同人？
还好留存了一份自嘲与解构，这一部分值两颗星，其余皆为灾难。拉娜到底为什么拍这部片子，背后又发生了什么呢？解释不清，唯有彩蛋里的那句话可以做脚注了——电影已死，电影已死，重复两遍。
看你能认出多少个Sense8演员系列。比《原力觉醒》好看，可以去影院看一个。
三颗星分别给黑客帝国1、2、3
剧情、设定有一些我很喜欢的点，但整体观感太一般了，动作戏过于无聊，开头结尾都乏善可陈
观影过程中关注的重点是：史密斯特工穿的竟然是七分西装裤，果然时代不同了，很难想象雨果维文穿上的效果，以及最大惊喜莫过于导演暗搓搓叫了超感猎杀的卡司!!!就挺没必要重启的，中年爱情故事已经在小敏家看麻了…
