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'.

看完后才发现电影名叫巨型漏洞而不是巨型漏斗。。。
中规中矩吧。本来挺期待两位达西先生对手戏的，但莫名其妙的三角感情戏真的是败笔。
科幻喜剧小品，热内继续着他的趣味和风格。观赏性不错，三星半。
要不是对历史感兴趣 根本看不完 其实我们更多的是翻译成“肉馅行动”，经典谍战拍成了一个已婚男人的闷骚撩妹剧，一个大龄单身狗的吃醋破坏剧，就是没有谍战剧的感觉，双十字委员会的负责人确实非常神秘，这个人还负责了诺曼底登陆的一系列伪装，整个诺曼底登陆背后的谍战故事绝对更精彩，这个双十字委员会的大boss为诺曼底登陆也做出了突出的贡献。文字记载的历史绝对要比电影精彩很多。只是这个人的身份在百度上根本搜不到，到现在也不知道这个人长什么样。
无论是剧情还是特效都很法式，既继承了无厘头的荒诞，也延续了不用心的特效
能明白导演为什么要拍/编剧为什么要写这个故事，但是效果真的好一般啊……已经有一个很一般的预期了但还是不太行，ian fleming也救不了的程度。finals还专门来看的意义只有来qna的科林叔🥺
7⃣️BL 的梗多余了 哈哈哈
虽然是情报工作，但毫无谍战的紧张刺激。脸叔改14遍文案和长得略像查尔斯王子的驻西班牙大使的两次奉献是华点
爱国主义并不代表牺牲个人。让人感动的不是片中每个人都希望打倒纳粹德国的精神，而是每个普通士兵，乃至每具尸体，都值得有姓名，有历史，有宽恕。
3⃣️傻女婿的形象太深入人心，总让人感觉不太聪明的亚子
“历史由胜利者书写，但事实真相只有亲历者才晓得”
6.6 真是历史事件并不具备很大的喜剧成分，影片总体基调比较庄严平淡，非常英式的幽默和叙事风格。
一起构思这个军官故事的画面让我觉得中二又感动，男女感情线真不如老哥俩的友情动人。
两个达西先生抢一个小女仆，还有一个嘎嘎新的奈特利站干岸儿，加上马尔福爹，光看脸了，剧情还要重来一次
好家伙这么个小故事塞进多少元素啊，演员演技大赏。小胡子的间谍系统等于没有，让各种忽悠瘸了，还不如死脑筋就守该守的地方。
6.5分 2022.02.12 高色彩饱和度
感情戏确实有点没必要，篇幅巨大，“正文”可以拉得更长更精彩
拍出了暗流涌动 拍出了人情世故 非常喜欢人物间的对话 简练且有美感 节奏也好
把可飞行的高清摄像头当蚊子给拍了。笑点：她用镊子修眉毛结果扯出了一根线，高级跑车全速前进结果玻璃没撞开被一只狗给报废了，看起来最瘦弱的詹妮弗被控制了，结果一家人都阻止不了她的步伐。这个给自己套上被冻住的衣服，是用土办法对抗高科技吗？打败了机器人被告知新病毒来了玩个梗，最后，好好做个人吧。
明明就很有趣！难得看到合我心意的科幻片，故事情节虽然略显简单，但紧张感十足。最棒的是全程紧张严肃中掺杂的幽默，以及所有演员精彩的表演，非常喜欢了！
