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'.

3.5 属实没太看懂其真实寓意需要解析. 前半段恐怖的地方有被吓到，后半段那真是尺度放飞了的阴风阵阵，犹如补上了湮灭里Oscar开膛破肚没有被录像带记录到的后续。不过英国郊区的景色也真的太美了，很少有看到捕捉美景如此舒适的铺垫，但很快忘记片刻的美景，走入仲夏夜惊魂。氛围没得说，还是他的风格
他们控制这个世界，解释这个世界。他们把偏见包装为理性，把暴戾包装为血性。逃离，抛弃幻想，证明自己能独立存在世间——女人所有努力的尽头。
A24继《仲夏夜惊魂》后最具邪典气质的惊悚恐怖电影，美学元素、符号隐喻以及人声旋律配乐将神秘诡异的氛围烘托淋漓。片名不用单数Man而用复数Men，足见加兰的立场，这是对男性群体发出的清晰直白的控诉，把潜藏在女性心底最深层的恐惧具象化，影片里的乡下村庄即浓缩的父权社会，谄媚的房东、冷漠的警察、虚伪的神父、粗鄙的男孩，不同年龄形象却共用同一幅面孔的男人们，构成了极具代表性的丑恶嘴脸，尾随、围困、入侵、言语暴力、肢体骚扰，一面是对女性的凶猛敌意，一面是对交配繁殖的本能渴望，根植于男人骨子里的卑劣天性展露无遗，身为施暴者却反而示弱，理直气壮地将责任和过错全盘推卸给受害者，正如自私前夫以爱为名的道德绑架，一味逃避终究徒劳无用，不如拿起斧头亲手斩断梦魇。最后那出男性分娩的连环套娃场景着实令人瞠目结舌。
《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。
又是饱和度调高几个等级，颜色鲜艳到诡异程度的大片植被（此处参考「湮灭」），多了也不想说，千言万语，千头万绪，千真万确，千错万错，错在男人长了一根鸡巴
[视][20.7.18想看]大片不如漫威，即是悲哀。想想<光灵2>，数据再好看，奈飞续集就像微软游戏一样难产。全球多地取景，摄影剪辑一般，香港元素，奥迪撞奔驰，扛炸唐老大抱香车，穿手<帕克>，小女孩表情失控像小11，断指
现代兰博 无脑爽片 反派又蠢又坏 正派有勇又精 高斯林粉丝可以看 否则不用浪费时间
- 6.8
【A】加兰竟然能将一个女性主视角的故事讲述得如此到位，将景致、符号、环境和心理拿捏得恰到好处，将当代社会中男人的罪与罚展露得一览无余，最后男人连环生子一段是可以载入恐怖影史的神来之笔。
全是干货。不聊天。布拉格广场快让拆了。追车炮弹枪战。美队说高司令廉价发型。
剧情简单平庸，视觉还成，彩蛋好，福利好🥺我至今都无法正视小胡子就是了hhhh
他们控制这个世界，解释这个世界。他们把偏见包装为理性，把暴戾包装为血性。逃离，抛弃幻想，证明自己能独立存在世间——女人所有努力的尽头。
质量是很高的，不知道为啥大家的口味都这么刁了。谍战动作，不就是个看个彭擦擦么。
滿分💯。太有創意、也太有深意。色彩、運鏡都可圈可點。最後的高潮部分考驗每個人の感官。從純藝術的角度說：此片風格堪稱驚為天人。
想想看不知道多久没看到过新的国产动作片了 上一次还是甄子丹和谢霆锋的怒火重案
“你丈夫的死都是你的错，他打你你为什么不给他解释的机会”🖕🏻我可去你大爷的，最后的套娃产子看得我😅😅看完就一个感受：不要靠近男人，会变得不幸

主演我比较喜欢，又有爽片的多种元素，除了精彩的打斗，我还顺便去各个国家云旅游了一番，这就是我喜欢看电影的原因，哈哈。
前段铺垫过长，有些沉闷，但镜头语言和音乐都保持了A24一贯的水准。后半段高潮迭起，几个血腥场面全场都在倒吸凉气，变螃蟹钳那幕可能会载入cult片影史。核心还是在讲女性的困境和toxic masculinity，被威胁，被跟随，被凝视，被肢体和语言侵犯，基本所有男性角色都共用一张脸，我想导演已经暗示得很清楚了。（感觉会是评论非常两极的一部电影
大家要带着艺术的心态去看这部厌男杰作（男导演拍厌男深入骨髓哈哈哈哈）它几乎将现实生活里女性对男性的厌恶、恐惧、憎恶全部以邪典的形式具象化了。男性至死是少年、男性至死爱当爹、男性天生就抱团。
