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'.

我祖说着:poor 龟孙子
saint joe 圣祖。金刚狼也只能接盘阿祖。
感觉没有评论说得那么糟啊。该有的东西都点到了，然而点的手艺有点笨拙，几乎全部都是靠念白。但有一个镜头我还是觉得有那么点意思：休叔从那个有钱的疯女人的豪宅出来时，花园里两列对称的喷泉，还有灌溉花园的喷淋系统的特写，像枪一样“哒哒哒”的喷水。穷人不得不生活在水深火热中(真.水深)，而富人筑堤把海浪推向穷人，“水”在他们的世界里，只是庄园的喷泉。可惜电影中这样的镜头语言太少。
好棒，休叔第一面就爱上一个人，相处了几个月，然后用了余下的一辈子去回忆点点滴滴。设定有点扯，陆沉下的美国，居然有记忆重现的高科技。。。吴彦祖打酱油了10分钟，休叔和梅的事都是普通人的挣扎，居然能和地产商扯上关系，有点过了。。
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🔚 。
我觉得还可以啊，一个很温暖的故事。对未来世界的构架也蛮有意思的。
故事一般，悬疑感做的不好，其实在科幻方面也没啥新意
7分 整體feel…確認是西方世界班底的製作，科幻主題⋯微老套的故事主線用懸疑引導吊著觀眾胃口，劇情推進的邏輯收尾欠佳以及部分拖沓的節奏（是西方世界的調調呀）外，感情戲高潮片段依然打動了我，整體而言的電影呈現還是值得一看
女主迫不得已找男主完成任务，两人相爱，其中回来找过男主但被黑警抓回去，与黑警合作的富豪儿子担心父亲的私生子继承遗产，想杀害母子，被女主救了孩子，女主牺牲自己。最后男主选择永远活着美好的回忆中。
故事一般，狼叔自白增添几分末世颓废，阿祖真是普通话全球推广大使
小诺兰的故事写的也不怎么样，没有了他大哥克里斯托弗那种冷酷凌厉的镜头表现力，他的故事变得逼格全无且极其低智，整部电影仿佛就是在用无数个多余的镜头去讲一个简单到不能再简单的故事。
披著科幻外衣的復古「黑色電影」。查案以外的故事線，則可以用這歌名總結：愛在記憶中找你。
烂得无与伦比，啥破机器居然能以上帝视觉展现记忆，并且连没看见或不在场的场景都能显示出来，真是牛了尼玛的比...吴彦祖好歹也是个贩毒老大，居然被黑大妈轻松团灭...
狼叔依旧那么帅！
美国迈阿密成了水上哥谭，金刚狼和<马戏之王>的女歌手再续前缘，末世感的设定掩盖不住小家子气的内核，片子披着诺兰的外壳讲了一个拖沓的悬疑爱情故事。
为了狼叔和阿祖而来，结果看了半小时就关了，都什么年代了，还在拍这么俗烂的电影，像是纯粹了为了冲电影公司KPI 随便拍拍的。丽贝卡怎么那么老态，83年的人看着像63年的，毫无美感，跟碟中谍里完全不是一个人。
so we can look again.
「什麼樣的故事」
追忆这个题材，本来可以做的更好，回忆机器是个美妙的点，但故事实在是太拧巴了，越往后看越觉得疲沓，可惜了了。女主的美背值得一赞，吴彦祖连花瓶都不是了。
剧本很糟，导演也不行，没做出来黑色电影的质感，感情线也单薄，没有恋爱细节，观众看不出有什么刻骨铭心的，还不如女二给的戏多。想起旋风小子最后郝劭文说的，我觉得安妮没有珍珠好
