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'.

三个小时，看到了更加黑暗的哥谭，与一个全然不同的蝙蝠侠。它不同于往日任何一版蝙蝠侠，你可以拿他与诺兰镜头下的蝙蝠侠做对比，但他们一定是决然不同的超级英雄。《新蝙蝠侠》继承了《小丑》的风格，整体更加文艺化，布鲁斯.韦恩也不再是曾经那位“超级”公子哥，他勤恳、孤寂，像侦探般一步步找出真相，也更加还原漫画风格。罗伯特.帕丁森诠释的蝙蝠侠很有罗伯特.巴乔的感觉，眼神表情拿捏得太到位，妥妥的哥谭市忧郁王子。从摄影水平与场景展现来讲，本作绝对是视效炸裂的影院电影，雨夜哥谭的黑暗，追车戏大呼过瘾，最后韦恩从众人面前亮相将影片氛围达到高潮。
＃新蝙蝠侠
哥特建筑装潢，机车，蒸汽，枪火，墓园，罗伯特帕丁森，是我所有喜欢的元素

对于有些观众来说，爆米花就不能吃太多，稍微换点口味，就会在评论区里暴露自己偏食的特性。另，“一个唱黑脸，一个唱蝙蝠脸”戳中笑点
记得当时看这部电影我都能把台词背下来跟着电影一块说，呼呼~~现在早就忘了啊~~
我一直不太喜欢超级英雄电影，唯一喜欢的就是蝙蝠侠，因为他是最接近人的一位。我不相信一个外来的超级英雄，因为有了超能力，就能一劳永逸地解决人类的痛苦。人类的痛苦无法根除，唯一的途径是理解。而我不认为那些高高在上的超级英雄能够理解人类痛苦的本质。这部新蝙蝠侠里的布鲁斯韦恩比以往任何一部都更脆弱，更接近人，他会纠结痛苦，也会迷茫怀疑，打架的时候甚至还有点狼狈。但也正因为此，他才能理解普通人的痛苦。我相信他最后会找到答案，他最后找到了答案。
但是故事实在太无趣了，又这么长，简直折磨
我觉得还可以，寻思再探究探究，结果这评论区啊，简直没眼看……拿颜值肌肉啥的比来比去的有劲儿吗？
最后被电影彩蛋气到！傻傻等到最后的只有我！

7.0/10 分。初看，蓝光。在《新蝙蝠侠》上映前，导演马特·里夫斯给院线和放映员写了一封信：“请校准您的放映设备，并将亮度调至不低于14FL”。天朝的影院为了省钱，基本上全都亮度不够，当年我在中影看《阿凡达》就眼睛疼，后来去找了金逸的金属屏幕+双机播放才效果好。。全片黑漆漆的，我看的可是真正的蓝光呀。华纳估计以为黑暗风格就是要把画面调暗，有网友总结了历年来的画面，越来越暗。。。大家最好把自己的屏幕调亮点，否则看得眼睛疼。。。节奏缓慢，长达三个小时，像文艺片远多过超级英雄动作片。最丑的蝙蝠侠。鬼都认不出的科林·法瑞尔。妹子身材不错。
天快亮了，我等于看到了，不论生死，我心里都坦然。
（7.5/10）不知道如何下嘴，总之看起来很迷人。
毫无疑问是纯粹的电影，现实英雄主义的黑色电影，采用侦探悬疑风格。潮湿雨夜，血色腐烂，为整个哥谭定下基调。
如倒悬的蝙蝠一般冲出火海步步逼近、目送镜中的尾灯消失在道路尽头的迷雾…让人印象深刻的镜头真的太多了。这可能不是最好的蝙蝠侠，但却是最像艺术品的超英。
兰芬的情演得真的特别好 哎 保护自身不也是保存革命有生力量吗 非得用废为止吗
其实已经做得很好了，但类型片的普遍性和超英的符号特殊性的融合总是显得不那么顺畅，当祛魅化超英符号之时，就是类型片(黑色电影犯罪片)凸显之时，于是以黑色电影来看，它又太平庸太简单，甚至都没有真正的挣扎，那么蝙蝠侠的符号意义何在呢？抛开类型片尝试，要说这部作品的最大意义，也只在于继续拓宽了超英形象的美学范畴，一个更脆弱、稚嫩、满怀戾气和怒火的蝙蝠侠，一个刚踏入“社会”的复仇使者。但无论如何，这种尝试融合两者的努力最终仍是浅尝辄止的。
开头蝙蝠“我即复仇”，结尾暴徒“我即复仇”，或许本质都是一样，都真的认为自己心中的是正义，这就是战争。得益于电影耐心呈现的世界观，我们能理解这些被无视和欺凌的底层人选择的激进与病态。但电影没有像《小丑》一样单方面激进，而是同时用蝙蝠火炬这样的画面给人以希望。从艺术、现实、侦探、漫画角度来说，世界需要更多这样的电影。
