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'.

一开始以为会很普通，因为感觉一切都像是末日大片，跨种族友情，蒸汽朋克的公路电影的缝合怪。但是怎么说呢，他烹饪的方式还是很让人舒服，主要塑造的是两个戏，外界的坏人是一个若隐若现的麦格芬，隐去的很巧妙。没办法，汤姆汉克斯看到蝴蝶的那一幕还是感动了，带两年了口罩已经强迫症洗手的我，无法不代入。
毫无意外的
【2021.58】不太一样的末日电影，虽然创造了你，但你属于你自己
观感如何主要取决于对其的类型期待，毕竟把机器人换成一个偶遇的小孩效果也是一样的。2.5
Finch没撑到有花有草有河和阳光的地方生活，如果早点到可能他的哮喘就不会那么严重。好孤独啊，未来世界好像就是这样近在眼前了。
《芬奇》又是这样一部典型的作品。末世人类的世界设定，关于抵达目的地同是又是自我认知的追寻旅程。主角芬奇与机器人杰夫互为镜像同时又成为了传承。以上这些其实仍然是常见的公路电影的内在核心。只是《芬奇》显得更有决心，因为整个片子的正序叙事中没有出现第二个人类。也正因为如此，《芬奇》唯一的缺点可能正是过于工整，过于四平八稳了。
末世科幻，汤姆汉克斯为了拯救自己的狗做了一台机器人，简单、治愈和伤感。汤姆汉克斯还真是适合演这种荒岛求生的戏啊。
补标 一人一机一狗 人机相托 心光助前行
整体相当的平庸无趣，全是套子活儿，没提供一丝惊喜，给三星纯粹是给汤姆汉克斯一个面子。
—9.0分。
实在太老套了。可作为丹尼特的意向系统理论演示，但先假设机器像人，再感动于其人性，这种做法可谓 机械降humanity
机器人杰夫虽然没有面部表情，但整个肢体都在表演，好萌！世界末日，一人一狗，一机器人一机器狗，可惜机器狗半路报废了，不然芬奇死后，杰夫一人带着两狗也能挺热闹，而且good year早晚也得走，那时杰夫还能继续有个伴儿，不过，结尾挺阳光的，一人一狗应该还会遇到好人吧。
人类充满了矛盾。
劇本是不錯的，以前對這個演員挺喜歡的。但是後來網上留意到他疑似和兒童買賣等和共濟會的一些相關事情後，我就很少看他作為主角的片了。排除掉他作為主角。講述末日後的地球一系列後等等的故事，還不錯。想起了很久以前一部戲（我是传奇）。其實這部戲裡面也有一些點都挺像的。
imdb 6.8
一气呵成的美好夜晚，年轻的时候看这些会觉得人终究是要长大的，现在看只会觉得人终究是要变老的，于是更多一份不忍心，不想碌碌而为过一生，不想没有传承就消失，想要贡献很多，教会很多
当看到《小王子》书特写时，就觉得主题会是关系和信任了。男主角的心理成长和告别其实是疫情当下时代的心灵写照，关系的建立是个漫长的过程，信任更是如此。外界环境的灾难不过是内心的外化。芬奇和父亲的结靠着杰夫来和解，父与子的身份与角色交相辉映。
偶尔看一下这种 真的有种久违的舒服感
好像最后还差那么一点点 一点点（加州果然宜居…
像极了《三体2》中描述的＂黑暗森林法则＂。
