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'.

故事和主要人物都特别的似曾相识。最后云端上传消失也是强行煽情，整体人物塑造中规中矩。说平庸的话倒是有科技时代人类对电子产品依赖的反思，说精彩的话亮点也确实不是特多。就。。。。还行吧
中规中矩的剧本，虽然设定非常新颖，但是还不够亮眼。
3.5星吧。影片对白十分简单，我用的是机翻字幕，后来几乎不用看也能听懂。对于故障的AIBOT的描绘过于美好了，比起一个算法文件缺失的BOT，它更像一个智力不高的人类，在这种包装下影片顺水推舟地讨论了朋友、社交、成长、亲子关系等话题。故事比较老套，除了角色的感情刻画是重点还不错外，冲突部分也过于童话了。但是有一句台词我印象很深刻，那就是“孩子也会用他们的方式保护父母”。这句话对我的冲击远超该片其它的所有内容，亲子问题由来已久也有过太多的讨论，大多数都是站在某一方的角度来要求另一方改变，但是这句话好比是有个第三方，他同时看到了两方的矛盾与统一，给了看待这个问题的独特视角或者说关注到了其中容易被人忽视的一个细节。
其中提到的现代人生活离不开网络而这些电子设备全都在监视人们生活这点真的细思极恐。虽然知道套路和big hero差不多但还是被感动得一把眼泪一把鼻涕。ron的声音和大白好像！
前半段确实很棒，最后算法变成了真正的AI，也算是好结局了。
当像安卓一样的B-Bot类似机器人诞生，我们会拒绝吗？人工智能机器人不仅仅是程序，而是每个人的朋友，当拥有机器人的时候，不一定要继续沉迷社交平台，而是与你的机器人去玩耍，保留生活中无法预测的故障代码，也许会带来惊喜。
好割裂啊，前半段日常跨文化五星，高潮部分强行反派三星，结尾赛博朋克莫名升华。综合太乱了，唉
有灵魂的伴侣才是可爱的，都是代码程序那感情该多无趣
很难不喜欢这种Friendship的电影，爱让我们改变，变得勇敢，变得善良。
作为一个成年人观看，有些情节太痛苦了。哭了好几次。哎，难受。
【6.5】本质是一个类Baymax的故事，比较套路，反派也趋于脸谱化，Ron自我牺牲的剧情更是没啥新意，有强行煽情之嫌。主线部分与上半年的《智能大反攻》异曲同工，但又明显做得不如后者。
今年看过的最好的动画片，不但讽刺了某些企业家（南山必胜客说的就是你），还阐述了不能依赖社交媒体交朋友的真谛，就是这个机器人长得太像某鹅了
这副线那个挤走战友当了32小时CEO的基本就是乔布斯传嘛，放在什么劈柴什么贝佐斯身上故事也一样成立的鸭
●本来看开场还怀疑这种技术。结果开头发布会就给我看哭了。
比如主角站在操场入口说“课间18分钟……该怎么办”
跟智能大反攻要表达的主题还挺一致的，都是现代科技和社交媒体的反噬，最后都是weirdos save the world。故事蛮暖的虽然有一点老套，结尾还是戳泪点，谁想要拯救世界啊，我只想要我的Ron……
前半段剧情俗套，但我很吃，哭得稀里哗啦。但是吧…这后半段也太扯了，强行圆满……
我就算变成硬盘 也还是记得你怕黑 为你发出光亮
absalom名字梗我永远也迈不过去，想起来就笑得要死，光靠这个我能笑到明年了
人人皆孤独
