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'.

比较喜欢嘉兰之前的作品，但本片实在无法接受。它真的不像一部电影.....
单从技术层面分析，A24与亚历克斯·加兰这次完全可以凭借《Men》在2022恐怖电影界「独领风骚」了。极致的视听语言与几乎完美的恐怖氛围营造，称其为「盛宴」亦不足为过。前半程用「文艺片」手法铺垫，带有强烈「创伤感」的人物塑造及镜头感、配乐都非常高级。最后的爆发亦「精彩纷呈」，恐惧催生出恐惧，暴力孕育出暴力，十分钟的视觉呈现几乎可以封神。从内容上看，电影带有强烈的「恐男」特质，但相比较其他低级、刻意、无趣的刻画与塑造，《Men》赢在了视听语言上。至于其传递的主题与私货本质，和其他同类作品并无两样，说粗俗点，都一个B味。三星全给技术组，内容一星不值。
柯南伯格看了都自愧不如，男人真的都一个样哈
7.0/10，生机盎然的环境，与隐蔽恐怖男权（精神控制）和生殖轮回形成互文。高潮的连环自我生殖cult味十足，具有令人咋舌的符号明喻力量，狠狠给疯狂男权抽耳光。
希望《钛》的导演看看，什么是真正的女性视角！
最大的问题是无法进行完整双层解读，深层文本的女性困境表达很清楚，但表面现实物理逻辑很难解释清楚，例如男人如何入侵手机？还是蒲公英的致幻效果吗？如果单纯用奇幻或者魔幻来解释中后段的一系列场景，或者只是发生在内心的阴影，那女主闺蜜的戏份又该如何解释？她的视角中是只有物质世界的结果，例如撞车以及血迹。当然后半段的裂手和套娃都太精彩了。
比Midsommar还要cult，除了丈夫以外的男人都是同一个演员......结尾那段又是让我永生难忘了，一直让我倒吸冷气的程度。走出影厅的时候，一个美国大爷说，"What did we watch? It was strange."
一个借助影像手段的表现艺术作品。作为电影观感不佳，建议避开。
传递出来的男人那点小心思小动作真的蛮有意思
#22#45感情里要死要活死缠烂打的人实在可怕，第三胎时女主那嫌弃的眼神把我看爽了。
冲着这画面构图打的分，结局没把女主送走快把我给送走了……现在的惊悚类电影 不深入做个阅读理解都看不懂了吧？
愿这世上再没有文艺恐怖片🙏，每次看完都感觉被诈骗了🥹
蠢直蠢直的。加兰视听水平不差，但文本满足于简化，不去呈现复杂性反而搞些极大条的东西出来，一直想学塔可夫斯基但画虎不成反类了犬。从《湮灭》到现在，只能说是条不求甚解的邪路。
对千奇百怪以爱为名的控制和占有说f*ck off；以及我实在很纠结为啥女主对房东说自己不会弹琴，连闺蜜都不知道她弹琴超好，歪？？？
加兰的视听语言仍然一流，影片谈不上什么隐喻，所有的东西都非常明显，庸俗软弱又多管闲事的房东，“误会”女主意思的暴露跟踪狂裸男，无理取闹小混混，爹味伪善牧师，控制欲暴力前夫，每个人都代表男性丑恶的一面，而且他们“生生不息”，分布在各个年龄段，而不管他们变成什么形态，对女性的渴望与厌恶永不改变，繁殖欲永不消减。PS：断手和“生育”场景真的san值狂掉
景色是真的好看，猎奇也真的猎奇，即使知道最后一段会很邪典，但看的时候还是被辣到了眼睛......（其实我没太看懂电影在讲啥，电影主旨我是理解的，但是故事讲的就很没头没脑）
2.5期待很久终于看到，很干净的演员表(笑)；当Rory开始读诗，读“丽达与天鹅”的时候我才惊觉当A24的观众门槛真的不低(笑)；绿色Rory吹蒲公英我又串台了仲夏夜之梦(笑)；被疯狂包装和诠释的概念，没有故事性，女主演起神棍片易如反掌，一些恶趣味和隐喻令人上头，总结一句话Rory是个好演员。
牛逼.........一定要看未删减版，连环分娩的场景我因为来不及躲避一下全程直视，可能会造成一段时间不小的心理阴影了......
既厌女又恐男的片子，两边都想讨好，加兰还挺心机的。
风景很好，直白，但有一些新意，不过作品需要最终完成于用讨好女人的讨厌男人使男人获益。可惜的有两点：关于UI的吓人点子要么删掉要么更多一些；男人的外形过于单一，缺少代表最大利益集体的形象（直接地减少了表达的广度）（但同时提纯了所谓“女性视角”）
