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'.

如果结尾是开场，一个机器人和一只狗的故事，应该会很酷吧。
P.S.2005年的阿娟18岁，那么2021年的他，已经34岁了，三十而立的阿娟，还会时常在心中听到那一声咆哮吗？祝愿他一切都好…
整体完成度很好了，本土视觉元素做得还是不错的，当然整体工业水准和美国还有较大差距。选歌上显然是照顾了最大公约数。最后真的真的要呼吁，公映商业电影确实非常棒，但是大家不要只看到幸存者偏差而忽略了城乡发展严重不平衡，农民工权益以及留守儿童关怀等社会问题。
之前没看之前看了一篇关于本动画丑化国人的文章想评1星，后来想想自己还没看不应该评分，今天看完后我打了5星，助力一下
汤姆汉克斯是少有的充满脆弱感和信念感的演员 哪怕是末日题材 哪怕角色病入膏肓 依然有一种哀而不伤的坦然 全片的主题音乐也非常好 Don McLean的American Pie “A long, long time ago
阿娟成年之际，从留守到进城，发型、肤色、体格的改变见证他的蜕变，生活就是一场舞狮，一步步踩着高桩。
尚气都不敢找这么丑的人当主角，这部片子做到了。
和《绿皮书》一样让人恶心的作品。无论是白人对黑人、还是人类对机器人，两部电影里所描绘的浓厚感情不过是源于对方的忠诚和付出罢了。把一个能够产生自己思想情绪甚至梦境的机器人仍然塑造成忠诚、无条件付出和憨厚可爱的像一条狗的形象，只能说明这部电影的导演和编剧对人类身份自视甚高的优越感和过于贫乏的想象力。更遗憾的是，在这部电影里，如此高级的机器人连条狗都不如，他产生和存在的意义，不过是为了一条狗。吐了
充满粤语文化圈色彩的一部片，如果能看纯粤语版本或许会更有趣些。电影内核非常周星驰，咸鱼翻身的励志轻喜剧，剧本桥段有些刻意和陈旧的地方会令人尬住，人物塑造的篇幅分配也还值得商榷，整体完成度还是很好的。较特别的一点是，这似乎是我记忆中所有叫好国产动画电影中第一部毫无奇幻/科幻元素的，比起那些游戏cg一样的场景与战斗特效，这次的乡村和城市底层视角都做得很有质感，现实主义的风味很浓厚，值得肯定。四星。
8.5
9.4分 每首歌起 眼泪必落 虽然剧情有些俗 但是我真的爱 画面 分镜 色调 场景设计 配乐 连主角长相都在我的审美上 少年感才是永恒主题 九连真人的歌也太应景了 我边听边哭迎来了彩蛋 继续哭 2021动画最佳 虽然生活还要继续 但是那又怎样 我们追求过自己的理想 看见过光 成为过雄狮 接近过奇迹
从主角光环到回归现实，剧本几条线都圆了，很不错。建模嘛是不太行，但也不至于丑，毕竟我老婆就是广东人广东人大体上瘦高瘦高的还挺多的。总之没了神话体系加成也能有这么高的完成度是值得五星的。
文化自信的内核应该是真实的自信，而不是自卑
整体挺好莱坞的，有的地方甚至有点刻意套路。但是中国电影能有基本套路的样子也是进步。很优秀，情感有穿透力，今年少有的好电影，值20亿。配曲配乐非常牛逼了，上映要去看！
五年前路过金门大桥，很匆忙，而且桥很长，正犹豫要不要上去看看时，桥头摆摊传教的修女对我说了跟电影里一样的话：“走上去看的话，肯定会不一样的”，这句话让我没有错过金门大桥上的“体验”。当时觉得十年的签证怎么也能去几次吧，谁想疫情持续这么久，让很多事情都变得更珍稀了。 说回电影，其实觉得4星略高，3星又低，如果篇幅更短我会更喜欢～
剧情通俗，题材特色，细节精美，背景亲切，音乐动听。
表面看是整了个机器人，其实是拥有了合法黑奴
真挺好的，让人看到周星驰最后是如何终于在大陆的创作者这里得到了显影。
杜威为了一袋自己不能吃的小饼干死了，人有善意，机器也有。而谁害死了杜威呢？还是人。
他护着一条狗，开始了全球旅行，因为有人告诉过他，live a life…
