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'.

25.09.2021 @Pathé Balexert 展现了著名歌手和社会活动家Aretha Franklin从父亲荫护下的唱诗班女孩到灵魂歌后的人生经历。影片中Aretha独立创作的理念很早就萌芽，敢于脱离父亲、脱离大唱片公司、脱离伴侣兼经纪人，每一步都勇气可嘉。她的歌声充满力量和信念，是全片最大的亮点。
逃狱兄弟这个ip被做起来挺惊喜的，最喜欢的还是看滚筒和刀疤从谁也不服谁到互相成就的兄弟，三集下来我们看到了有血有肉的兄弟情，谭耀文的滚筒哥真的演得特别好
编剧: 黄子桓
香港还是过于理想化，毕竟国内目前当事人“申请法院向中央XXX继续调查走廊监控录像”审判长居然“主张监控录像与案件核心事实没有直接关联不予调取”，毕竟鉴定机构称“核心证据连衣裙下落不明”对吧。
她老公总想蹭她的热度…
影片一直在push AF对父权男权的反抗，但是她的灵魂黑夜确实在马丁路德金逝世以后才到来，这种错位导致我到最后其实都不能确定她自己面对的魔鬼到底是什么，最后高潮放在amazing grace呢就更向福音片走了一点，总之不是太看好肥花凭这个角色拿提名
除了发型和服装，没有一处像aretha, 尤其是音乐，这和她平时的唱法有区别吗？
Pathé Euroscoop Schiedam | 能看出肥花演得很用心唱得也很赞…但奈何影片太过于波澜不惊…以至于将传奇的AF拍成了一碗白开水…影片的高光时刻竟然是结尾AF奶奶在肯尼迪中心荣誉奖的现场…听得泪目了额外加一颗星…
泪目的竟然是结尾credit播放的AF晚年表演录像。JHud尽力了，但问题还是其声音缺乏感染力，难以达到AF老祖的厚度。
作为馒头奶奶的传记电影，个人觉得有点失望。影片开头与结尾的呼应，展示出了主题：这位灵魂歌后的成就，都源自宗教信仰。她从小在教会演唱，培养了能力；家暴男自称心中有恶魔，也提醒女主心中也有恶魔；所有女主出事，都是背离了作为神父的父亲；戒酒是在母亲的灵魂，披着神圣光芒前来拯救；最后她回归宗教殿堂，演唱赞歌，达到心灵的救赎……但是，如此片面的将一切归结于宗教信仰，真的合适吗？同时馒头奶奶所处的时代，让她成为了女权与黑人平权的领军人物，也挑战了父权，她之后更是在事业上引领了不少歌后，这些成就却完全被一笔带过，有些甚至只在最后字幕出现一下，这真的合适吗？难道她一生的辉煌，都是宗教的产物？这就是个宗教宣传片吧。另外，詹妮弗·哈德森的演唱确实无法和馒头奶奶相比，因为她是在演唱音乐，馒头奶奶是在玩音乐。
这打戏简直就是离谱他妈夸儿子---好离谱。
❌ 怎么还是“奥八股”......真的不能换一种逻辑或者叙事方法来创作人物的传记了吗
监狱四人组两个出狱，两个还在牢里阻止别人逃狱，完全配不上这个片名。拍到第三部，编剧完全就是在用脚写剧本，剧情已经完全崩坏了。整个片子看下来完全就是莫名其妙。
肉眼可见经费少，场景就5个左右。人物情感与关系上上有门槛需要看过前面2部才会有所触动，不然等于0。
这对男女演技是真的差啊
这个系列能拍到三集应该还是会有受众欢迎喜爱的，人物性格到后来越来越立体了，编剧水平还可以，通过逃狱和阻止逃狱这个冲突让故事可看，港片情怀的人必看，坐等前传，外传，后转上映。
为歌喉加一星，看预告的时候感觉可以冲奥，可能期待一下太高了……
本身应该是个好故事，但电影处理的真的非常非常僵硬。ree的每个情感转折都让人摸不着头脑，好像突然就变了一个人一样毫无心理过度。感觉我在被拉进度条快速被过了一遍ree的人生。女主的唱功很最后本尊一比真的差了不止一点点，女主唱歌总让我觉得在扯着嗓子喊，最后原唱的片段让本身注意力涣散的我突然专注的听了起来
艾瑞莎·富兰克林的音乐传记片，詹妮弗·哈德森真实还原了她的那些经典歌曲，虽然情节似曾相识，但最后真人现场版演唱还是相当感人
邓瀚宗坏得彻底，干掉刀疤，逃狱兄弟一变味，吴卓羲这次不是冲动的性格了，沉静，城府极深，最后还是给邓sir利用😂，还是欣赏滚筒哥和刀疤的男人之间情义，之前逃狱兄弟帮柏天男和张继聪都前作和这部出狱了，打了个漂亮的酱油，刀疤死了，估计都没有“逃狱”大计了
