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'.

毫无必要的重置，除了看致敬经典毫无惊喜，当然更毫无当年革命性的惊喜。硬核的八爷武打没有了（虽然当年的武打从港片角度，演员完成了中下水平，但非常亮眼，而且具有港片本身没有的风格），只剩几个形，以及总体上好莱坞露怯式武打和运镜。基努这副John Wick造型真接受不了，Trinity真的老了啊，这手我以为都70了。史密斯重制版都变成啥了艹！
确实不太好，理由可以列出八九个。但是仅仅为了19年后Neo和Trinity的HE也是有意义的。这个HE和这个世界有了second chance来重建，太治愈我了。
Somewhere around the 20 mins mark, I stopped trying to use my precious human brain power to make sense of any of this thing.
终于等到了！看的时候好幸福啊，看到基努里维斯出现的时候，脑海中立刻出现了银尼强手，不能说没有区别只能说一模一样，只是满嘴吐槽V始终躁狂不已的银尼到了继续和小田切一样面瘫脸了，可是这样我还是那么喜欢啊！那么多梗把我给乐的，游戏程序员的设定好赞，虽然最后结局感觉比较潦草，但导演自己都已经在开头吐槽过了呢，真的很有趣，我又憋了好久尿，最后只能在高潮打斗的时候去尿了，真的对我来说全程无尿点了。后来看完电影回家路上出租车司机还主动和我聊了会，他说很多年前看的时候看不太懂但就觉得很厉害，我心里暗暗想这就是不明觉厉呀，然后他还问了我最后结局是不是主角杀死了母体。
超多彩蛋：1、疾速追杀2、3、4导演客串
前面迷迷糊糊睡了近半个小时，感觉应该不影响剧情，后面吧就用爱发电，用爱升空啥的。反正我没有搞清楚几个大招到底是什么情况下触发的。基努里维斯真的是老了，不适合拍这种动作片了，闪回的那些以前的镜头多帅呀。
开头的打戏就很烂，打斗时Bugs发出的声音也是，下手，比大多数大片都烂的那种。一般动作片对没被子弹打中好歹有些设计，这里屁都没有，特别是6：00，蠢爆【演Bugs的真是又棒读又口齿不清，但棒读这件事似乎从来不bother沃氏姐妹（但很bother我），姐妹也是真的爱三藩和柏林【桥段いちいち都好lame 233虽然其中有一小部分还行吧，主要是我真不太记得以前的设定了，而且你们程序的高层老大到底是谁【一闪而过的Neo吃面镜头让我看到一半出去吃了碗兰州拉面【省了80块IMAX钱和去影院的时间，华纳不值得【Don't you just miss Hugo Weaving
不错啊，这不比隔壁永恒族好看多了惹，小乔来演Smith实在是太棒了好嘛
感觉这部续集就是卖弄情怀，剧情也没什么新意，狗尾续貂毁经典
复活男女主的设定勉强能接受吧，女主飞翔救男主也很拉好感（“你不能管管她吗”？不能啊哈哈哈哈哈！），但最后结局？？？
作为部粉丝向电影，满足了。除了neo全程显得都非常没有存在感没有自我意识，但老朋友都有回来啊，也都有发展啊，关键Trinity起来了啊！
尼奥生死存亡的关键当头飞不起来，肯定是因为他太胖的吧？！那肚子真的不忍直视，瞧瞧崔妮蒂保持的身材，不就飞起来了。
烂到我都忘了标记了。开头meta的部分还能看，后面就彻底是煎熬了。"巴尼叔叔"能加点分，最后一场里他就"巴尼叔叔"。
主角都老了，还是拯救的故事，本身并没有太大新意。这次Wochowski家只剩Lana Wochowski一个人来操刀剧本和导演，也是不容易，只是为了避免华纳兄弟的资本操作下的产物毁了他们兄弟俩的名声吧。台词还是夹带了私货的，比如吐槽华纳和Facebook，对当下媒介环境的抱怨……
看你能认出多少个Sense8演员系列。比《原力觉醒》好看，可以去影院看一个。
这次似乎过去所有呈现的一切都被镜像了 尼奥成为那个选择相信的人而崔尼蒂则成为那个做出选择的人 电影试图培育的怀疑的种子好像也没能够成功发芽 大概是因为制作本身的目的与之前不同 被拯救的是导演本人//倒是开始相信 电影的成功是玄学意义上的天时地利人和
期待续集猫客帝国！！！
尼尔的史诗级长台词，台词功底太强了吧！
众所周知，“黑客帝国”是个形容词。这一部还是很黑客帝国的，但和前作比的确没什么新意，比较像一部送给粉丝的情怀之作。廉颇老矣，多给半星，希望有续作。
全片透出疲态，像极了本已打算完结，却由于热潮不退而被编辑怂恿继续下去最终烂尾的漫画。说是粉丝向作品吧，史密斯、墨菲斯等都换了新演员，一点代入感没有，性格还OOC。刻意穿插许多老三部曲经典镜头，生怕大家回忆不起来。说不走情怀，新观众又看得一头雾水，话多重点少。老三部曲后六十年，尼奥其实再次陷入虚拟世界，误以为老三部曲（自身经历）是他参与制作的游戏，而后被解救反应过来时一切物是人非……整个模板几乎套用第一部。另外，对子弹时间的“新”诠释不过是反派速度更快而已（普奇神父？），再快也不敌主角光环，最后被反复捶打死去活来（迪亚波罗？）基努里维斯始终摆着个深沉脸，目光里却透着迷茫：我是谁我在哪干嘛要接这个戏。或许“去而复返”的崔妮蒂是唯一亮点，反派用孩子、用家庭、用各种虚伪责任要她留下，而她选择红色药丸。
