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'.

3.5 stars, but too dark, and something did not quite come together
1.故事本身不错，但是剧本平庸，文戏过多，拖沓冗长，节奏扁平，亮点太少。2.背景音乐和部分海景画面不错。3.吴彦祖几句话承包我一年笑点。而我居然在吴彦祖年华老去的时候才开始发现他的帅。4.不跳戏是很难的，狼叔每次从水缸里出来我都在想念他的钢爪。5. 不客观的五星全部献给这个分分钟把我掰弯的绝世美人，以及这个我爱了二十年的男人。
任何故事的结尾都是悲剧。那就讲一个幸福的故事，但是从中间结束🔚 。
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。
格局小，剧情无聊，背景有创意，两位猪脚的颜值再高也撑不起这部戏
盗梦空间加迷情记....所以两个好的东西融合到一起不一定是好的
我男神也会拍这么。。。。的影片哦，失望了点儿
帅哥狼叔被骗炮痛失资料惹
冲着狼叔+吴彦祖看的。虽然剧情老套，但不得不感慨好莱坞的美指和DP太厉害了，和国产电影已经不在一个维度了。大全景和室外的景都太美了
我 think 这个片 actually 没有 that bad......
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。
一个四五十的成功男人，一门心思就知道沉迷美色。。。
未来水世界
[视]<马戏之王>二主，<西部世界>二女星，台英混血诺兰弟媳导演，吴彦祖客串戏份太少。海平面上升近未来，大场景风光特效不错，侦探片，文戏冗长美剧导演通病，动作戏较差诺兰家族传统，同样是头箍虚拟景象比<恶灵>2021成本高多了，高潮穿越时空的诀别，结局<院代码>，毫无波澜
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。
好看，复古，上世纪90年代，引进国内的欧美侦探剧都是这个调调。犯罪题材里的黑色电影，从前人们趋之若鹜。如今真是拍一部扑一部。不过这部我喜欢。狼叔要不网游沉迷，也不会错过女神导致其自杀。当公益广告看吧。
2星，披着未来科幻外衣的爱情片，痴情种子狼先生演技在线。
太烂了，豆瓣是对国外片都比较宽容吧，这片如果换成国内明星演能有及格分吗？披着悬疑的外套讲个烂俗爱情故事，科技感悬疑点都没有讲好。另外阿祖的反派也太弱了吧，一堆手下一瞬间就被一个配角杀光了，还有那中英夹杂的台词也很难受，花两个多小时看中年人谈恋爱实属没必要。
「沒有結局是完美的，大多是以悲劇結尾，特別是那些美好的東西」
老套故事结构下包装了一层科幻和反阶层的外衣，狼叔演得吧也只能算是一般般，因为吴彦祖想看的话我劝退你打消这个念头吧，他在全片中加起来的时间不超过10分钟…该剧的悬疑属性极弱，未来水世界的设定还不如当年的未来水世界。只能算很一般的一部片。
