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'.

女主是真的美，剧情属实是老套过头了，不过披了一件科幻外衣，浪费了记忆装置这个设定，诺兰来拍应该起飞了
很普通的故事，只有中间黑人女配角的《西部世界》附体那段带点劲，整片剧情还挺好猜的。要看的话，一刷极限水准。
就是个有钱富二代为了独占遗产所以要找人杀了自己同父异母的弟弟的故事而已 其他设局啊美人计啊找人啊全都只是附带产物 城市存亡世界危机其实和这件事没有很大关系 简介写的过于夸张 女主搞的很神秘因为会有什么惊天秘密结果就这 前JC出去干活能不能干脆利落一点连把枪都没有还能这么简单就让目标逃走也是感觉非常随便 有些台词写的还行 但男主独白过于神神叨叨 而且说故事那段重复了3遍插入过于明显 最后男主沉溺于回忆每天24小时不间断播放和女主的甜蜜过去这TM真不是什么羞耻play吗OTZ 总之本质是个没什么新意的随便套了点科幻和末日的爱情故事 没什么意思
科幻背景下的恋爱脑寻爱之旅 吴彦祖在这里老了也瘦了 中英夹杂说话挺搞笑
所以休叔下半辈子就一直躺在水箱里浸在yy幻想里不吃不喝直到老死？
基调迷人，概念不新，外壳尚可，内里空洞，诺兰弟媳学得到皮毛，文本还有很大提升空间。狼叔丽贝卡再续马戏之王前缘，吴彦祖保持除暴中油腻，还有为啥每句英文里都得蹦个中文啊，巨他吗蠢。
看似科幻，实则悬疑。悬疑的节奏还行，但是故事太老套了，总是差一口气。世界很大，但是格局不大。吴彦祖英文夹着中文有点意思，但是实则毫无意义。挺一般。
吴彦祖：poor龟孙子，coming to my家，looking for my妞。狼叔：我脑子被记忆溶液泡浮囊了。RF：我是悬疑片男主最爱的谜样二维女子。Thandie Newton：青梅输给了天降。伴随着影院里此起彼伏的笑声，我失去了人生中的两个小时。
忠犬女黑人单刷黑帮副本突袭男都得往后靠灭了嚣张香蕉人拯救了老板男白人，助力痴心老板男白人去追求聪明美丽善良命运多舛的女神女白人，得，这是你们以后（暂时）的爱情路了，毕竟以后无性别人士的爱情也要安排上。女主角不能让人惊艳，没有说服力，不过挺经看的。
剧情无新意，彦祖说华语，狼叔无体力，丽姐没有动作戏。
整部电影只有女主角在唱歌的时候是最好看的了，剧本太烂。
格局越看越小。爱不起来可能还是因为表现上的乏力 不管是女主的颜 还是演技 魅力值这个东西 太难定义 影片节奏也略显乏力
与其这样还不如多花点时间介绍一下大水是怎么来的，昼夜颠倒是怎么回事
末世的背景设定，记忆谜团的反转，这些标准的好莱坞硬科幻元素放在今天确实有点套路了，反倒是爱情线有点东方那种“情不知所起一往而深”的感觉，反派吴彦祖的出现和消失的很牵强对白夹杂汉语词汇有点无语。。。节奏上也太拖沓没必要那么长
单看故事结构与叙事诡计虽然并不新颖但还是保有一种残酷遗憾的美，不足之处在于过度的联系反而给人一种错乱的感觉与人物的动机过于单薄。
真的大失所望，看预告片以为是能媲美异次元骇客级别的好片，结果就为了点情情爱爱低质展开，设定也不疼不痒。既不赛博朋克，也不末世危机。主人公不紧不慢地谈着恋爱，保镖因为对方是军人就不执行命令，真不错，这剧情真不错，给我看吐了
吴彦祖：poor龟孙子，coming to my家，looking for my妞。狼叔：我脑子被记忆溶液泡浮囊了。RF：我是悬疑片男主最爱的谜样二维女子。Thandie Newton：青梅输给了天降。伴随着影院里此起彼伏的笑声，我失去了人生中的两个小时。
挺磨叽的，世界观也毫无意义，本来想说机器其实也有别的代替方式没什么意义的，但是，最后的结局，各自的选择，幸福和悲伤交织的结局，心里酸酸的，很棒，配上bgm还是把分数撑到了三星
终于不用在金刚狼的记忆里唱Never Enough了。
故事乏善可陈，腔调有一点，主要看休杰克曼胡茬子。
