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'.

1、这是个很沉重的电影，代入感还是很强的 2、狗子还是很灵性的 3、科技这么发达有些病依然是绝症 4、如果我遇到我自己的克隆人，我要当面给他跳一段，看他什么反应
of course，no one need to learn how to drive
为什么没有生离死却那么让人心碎？
老题材，跟风而已。不过表演实在精彩，喜欢看老戏骨戏的，肯定会很爱。
软科幻背景下，没有多关注克隆的人伦道德，只专注了一个主题就是爱，设定比较老套，但感情还是实在的感受到了
披着科幻片外衣的伦（文）理（艺）片 熬过头一个小时你会收获一段媲美惊悚片的窒息观感和结尾一轮眼泪暴击
好看。点子好棒。而且流泪就是这个样子流泪，其他样子都是假的。
从技术层面保持怀疑，但从哲学角度，今天的我已经不是昨天的我，明天的我也不是今天的我，那么复制一个完全一样的我，到底是不是我已经没有答案。我觉得这并不是憧憬科技，而是回归人类本身，探讨爱与死亡。影片的落点很温情，译名很贴切，高概念的主题依然饱含人文情愫，这很苹果。另外以后的 Apple Car 会不会就是他们坐的车！
各方面都似曾相识又都四平八稳的一部小清新科幻片。《天鹅挽歌》把对立面从人类与克隆人当中抽离出来，而把人类自身的情感与回忆这最难断舍离的一部分作为最强大的对立面来对抗克隆人取代自己，从宏观经济方面转换到个人情感方面，这就让这片子显得更加贴近个人，更能感同身受。我们最宝贵的就是自身的情感和回忆。这一点和斯派克·琼斯当年的《她》也异曲同工的地方。
工整的科幻想象。too much man.
剧情往往都跟自己想的不一样，剧本很高级，拍好了，闻名于世，拍不好，臭名远扬，中规中矩，就无人知晓
制作美 细致 人物刻画和情感太入微了 温柔的科技
一直在淡淡的节奏，偶尔露出来的抗争与激烈，其他都是平平淡淡。如果，真的有这样的一天，你会也这样看似淡淡的来做这样挣扎的决定吗，让那个非我的我成为我，融入世界，而真实的自己，安静的等待离开世界，无人知晓。
命题很好但展开的太浅薄 人的情感太复杂了 以及科技都到了可以复制意识的程度却治不了绝症…我不理解
《Moon River》每个人的人生就是一条条河流，或汹涌澎湃，或平静流淌。
阿里的演技代入感太强啦！电影后半段非常感人！
分类：科幻/人性/爱情/剧情/哲学
坠入爱河 生儿育女 家庭和睦 也有过嫌隙 在得知自己将死 选择以克隆体代替自己 完美的克隆体 记忆 性格 完美复制 从理论上来说 确实是个好的方案 但真正的自己却要接受命运的流放 终死于孤寂之地 本片气质、气氛都不错 也展示了未来的一种可能性 家庭细节也很好 但就是太得体了 太沉稳了 好像假的一样
把自己拥有的一切拱手让人，哪怕那个人是另一个自己，也很难过吧。
