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'.

我还记得在马上要到达洛杉矶的时候，芬奇快不行了，他们在车下晒着久违的不会被紫外线灼伤的太阳，杰夫说自己做了一个梦。芬奇惊呆，他一个机器人竟然做梦了，，这个时候芬奇才意识到杰夫不单单是机器人，他是一个人了。
三星半。印度社会，总是以轰动全国而闻名，舆论造势，拨开云雾一个事件盖过另一事件，一个事件揭露另一个事件。社会荒谬，真相究竟是否会胜利
反转反转再反转再反转。
末世危机，生老病死，对人类是如此残酷；人类的人情世故，不忍心让一个机器去理解和感受；杰夫面无表情，我们却感受到了ta的喜怒哀乐。
2022发现的第一部评分过誉电影。
4+ 社会议题大杂烩的政治爽片。反转只是形式，复仇也是形式，核心是，当全民事件转化成运动，暴力+宣传机器被开动以操控民意，这里头最不重要的就是那件事本身，如果不是内部反水，你永远都不知道自己的情绪是为谁所用。
律师除了嘴炮担当好像也没有调查什么吧（调查文件不是警察给的吗)，这狠话放的让我莫名其妙。
开场其实觉得会得奖的，只是渐渐地……就是说，又一部印度神剧呀！
比我是传奇更好connect 属于人类对于末世中AI立场的遐想偏乐观的那一面
太温暖了，哭了，我是没想到一个末世片子能给我暖哭。那句“The three of us on the Golden Gate Bridge,like a painting that hasn’t been yet ”好美啊，这一刻的Jeff就像个吟游诗人，在末日里传唱着关于一个老头、一个AI和一条狗的故事
2022. 7.11，在这个近期吃瓜，瓜连着瓜，热点一个接一个的当下，结合目前的舆论环境来看这部影片就像是有人替我们喊出了一些声音，被愚弄驯化被操控的人们，睁开眼睛吧，撕开真实世界的一角给你看下，哪里有什么真相？有什么正义？有什么公平？片子结局其实是有点糊了，开场近一个小时的铺垫也稍长，背景音乐也有对点乱剧情，想说的东西也是太多太多，有点溢出，但法庭辩论还原事实部分还是起鸡皮疙瘩的~~~~~推荐一看~~~耐心是美德，尤其是看印度片~~
起初以为是关于程序正义的片子，结果正邪的多次反转有点超乎预料。但学生群体真的是没看到长进，始终被情绪牵着走。总体而言是很有力量的片子，几首歌的歌词也都很好。
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
校园腐败，司法腐败，政府腐败，
最后的合影破防了但忍不住思考：一个有情感的机器人和狗谁应该享有更多priority？让有情感的机器人牺牲自己保护狗是不是一种不人道主义行为？
三星半。印度社会，总是以轰动全国而闻名，舆论造势，拨开云雾一个事件盖过另一事件，一个事件揭露另一个事件。社会荒谬，真相究竟是否会胜利
大众的愚昧
其实看到最后，更心疼杰夫，因为它不会死，而不死让一切虚无，才是最大的孤独，能告别的、能被告别的，才有幸谈论意义。
谁能想到，末世之下人工智能是因为要照顾一条狗被创造出来呢？
里面那个警官演的太好了吧…影片最后那几分钟有点多余…
