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'.

最新的电影，却透出最酸腐的陈旧气息，全片不管从什么角度都完美诠释了什么叫“不思进取”。演员依然在演过去的角色，科幻设定依然是80s的大路剧本，艺术指导依然是各个科幻电影里东拼西凑的大杂烩。
极其低幼简单的故事，观影年龄六岁以下吧，不然没法看。
太吵了，一个是嘴碎，两个是聒噪，全都不停嘴，5000000只鸭子咋哇乱叫
主线剧情不知道讲了啥，但是父子情的故事仍然打动我了。“和过去的自己并肩作战”这个idea特别好，也基本上是本片唯一的亮点；只是这一亮点基本上全在预告片里说完了。
看一多半的时候想这么烂的片都有6分，看完想这并不是一个科幻电影。
亚当一号：我们还行吧？
虽然剧情、反派、科幻元素都弱了些，但这是部亲情片啊。
萌鸡小队很勇敢，如果他们分开也不害怕，会照顾自己。
科幻元素大乱炖，靠着演员喜爱度看完。（ps：疫情期间特效也跟不上了，那个年轻的玛雅是认真的么…）
18年发生了什么事，一个紫薯精打了个响指！所以确定了，你们这里就是多元宇宙（bushi。算是最近看的动作戏，以及特效方面都不错的作品了，虽然故事有那么点老套，雷诺兹和鲁法洛贫嘴的样子，不就死侍和浩克？
No.2434 虽然比较流水线式，但架不住笑点和科幻的内容对我的胃口。只是对于反派有些不能理解，蠢了些从而降低了拯救世界的难度。
还挺有意思的设定，如果展示一下2050的世界就更好了
流水线中的流水线。。漫威人外出打工集合。。詹妮弗加纳 看着也不算老
20多年后，当瑞安·雷诺兹蓦然回首时，发现自己已经演了20多年的贱兮兮的话痨角色，不知道是喜还是悲。电影方面，无论是大的设定还是小的细节，都是一通无脑的胡编乱造，毫无逻辑可言。
典型的閤家歡爆米花影片，Ryan怎麼最近幾年接的角色都是這麽賤賤的。。。btw 小亞當好可愛，希望不要長殘
老套题材，中规中矩。除了特效炫酷，父子情表达得很尬，恋人的初次邂逅也很尬。
海报是真好看，正片是真无聊，全片也就靠小贱贱的嘴炮在撑着了。
出乎意料地好，编剧水平超过95%以上投喂给成年人的国产电影。
老套却也好看，这种时空穿越题材都免不了对于亲情和爱情的救赎，在一切可遇见的发展下也做到了让人暖心的地步，以及话唠仍是一大特色，但真成了瑞恩雷诺兹所有电影里的设定了，还是希望不要被限制在这唯一的人设里
故事模式化就算了 连台词和梗都如同AI写出来的
