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'.

挺有意思的，又坏又好的坏人有种独特的魅力。好几个场景也都有致敬其他作品。
为数不多的需要第三次，靠……祂们都左右不了的命运
节奏紧凑，镜头表现力很强
纷华靡丽的镜头下费里尼式人物还有86年的时代记忆，无疑是索伦蒂诺等到了能够离内心自我有一段距离的时机，带着自传性质的身影重现那段时光。但会不会在Fabietto这个人物下多了一份空虚和不那么讨喜的为所欲为呢？
半自传性质的小说，诚意是有的，就是平淡了些。
我就喜欢这种风格的动画片，奈何豆瓣向来不待见。上一部这么好看且低分的是智能大反攻
私人感很妙，后面有点散了，还好Napoli夺冠了。后来法比奥他长大了，发现那不勒斯某戏剧演员很像他父亲，所以用他做了自己电影的男主（纯属虚构）。男主选得好，希望别长残。（第二天看完Belfast来打四星了）
意外很好看，虽然套路了一点，但是故事很完整，而且（你们这个世界究竟是什么设定怎么有人有有智慧的动物也有没智慧的动物？）剧里很多捏他镜头，类似碟中谍，瞒天过海美人计，杀死比尔这些还是挺有意思的
还有她那个戒指 弄来弄去的 原来都是有伏笔。
不太理解人和动物同时出现的设定，而且所有的人，真正是工具人了。整部片子看起来似乎不像是给小朋友看的，但是如果是给成人看的话，剧情也太低幼了。
既然承认只擅长“看”，那可能不应该拍自己的故事，因为自我缺席，看到的东西再精彩也根本无甚可讲。能把一个那不勒斯故事拍的难看到尴尬的程度，叹为观止了。
幼稚到劝退，以后这类电影应该推出一个建议14岁以下观看
索伦蒂诺自己的《想当年》，片中甚至数次直接提到费里尼。出于个人偏好，前期我还挺享受索伦蒂诺这种飘忽的“费里尼风”的。但到后面他想要跳脱严肃起来的时候，却因为个人深度的不逮，造成了极其尴尬的崩坏效果。索伦蒂诺可能永远无法摆脱“费里尼风”的阴影，那毕竟是他所能做到的最好的部分。
虽然说各种即时感特别强
一个看到开头就能猜到结局的故事。魔幻世界里的善恶交变，坏人的视角向世界呼唤爱。配乐简直堪称模板！
Ｄ＋/ 索伦蒂诺是能通过语气的杂糅和一些速朽的修辞来在俗气的青春生活流里找到缝隙的。但是这些缝隙又总是很局促，既没法瓦解封闭的叙事也没法向内探索人物。最重要的是，主角要做导演、要记录声音，可是这些都没有有效地表达出来（看配乐用法就知道这声画关系简单得不能再简单了），都只停留在一个零碎的剧作元素层面上。整个状态就只剩游离了。
願意付票房的好爆米花，狼叔狐姐痞帥，搞笑橋段也挺多。
tag:意大利 2021 威尼斯。获2021威尼斯评审团大奖+新演员奖，另获奥斯卡国际影片提名。奈飞对大牌作者导演都很宠溺，加上同行好像也都很买账……但这个片真的太无聊了，你就老老实实拍个私人回忆就完了，还致敬费里尼呢，费里尼棺材板都要盖不住了……要知道费里尼那种抽风一样的夸张，底气是超一流的想象力和漫画（caricature）式的嘲讽，以及费里尼对自己，那算是剥削一般的剖析，索伦蒂诺本质上不是个暴露狂导演，又各种温情，拍到最后拍了个啥……不就是，“我那爱整活的爹妈死了我很难过”？视听也不太讲究（你高清电视感这种影调用出意义了吗？），还不如《天堂电影院》呢。
Good is No Fun at All
最近好喜欢看动画片！大爱胖嘟嘟的shark！
