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'.

杀了本体最后还是活成了本体的样子。可悲。我没认出来她是星云。
荒诞片啊。女主还是杀心不够，为了生存，身体健康不是唯一，还需要强大的内心！复制人成长的很快，未来未必会回到之前的生活。
前面很不错，结局有点突然和欠味道。凯伦·吉兰好像没以前好看了。
满屏的丧气。剥离掉很多现实社会的问题之后的一次实验，结果是人心依旧叵测，无论谁家的柴米油盐，都充满酸甜苦辣。
立意不错 维一个接受真实自己的人被自己杀死了
如果复制体活下来了，那她哭是因为继承了本地那善变的男友和烦死人的妈，继承了本体操蛋的生活。
整个剧感觉太荒诞了，但是正是因为这种荒诞的剧情映射出更加荒诞的现实。女主完全没有自我意识，不知道为什么全片完全没有提及女主的工作，可能觉得不需要提及也可以脑补。最后结局不管是本体还是复制体，都太可悲了。妈妈和男友简直无敌恶心🤢
复古画质很有趣，真有种重回90年代在录像店里租恐怖录像带的时光。不过故事本身新意不大，严格来说只有第一和第四个故事跟这种录像带画质有一点点互文关系（但也不大）。第三个故事整体创意有点借鉴《弗兰肯斯坦的军队》，珠玉在前，但本身做得没有任何突破。恐怖片导演在我看来都是一群富有童心、不愿长大的孩子，会寻找最有想象力的故事和手法来吓唬观众。
那么高级的片子居然大家都嗤之以鼻，也是无语了。讲真，感性层面我相信是本体活着。但是唯一的漏洞是回答的汽车怎么撞坏的那个问题，无解。母亲和男友喜欢的都是那个他们想要喜欢的样子，并不是女主本身的样子。这个黑色幽默已经到了惊悚的程度了。但是你不要说，真有这样的亲人存在。女主就是那种心太软，什么事情都想着别人，自己吃点亏没关系。和以前的我真像。
本来以为是复制人活了，看评论发现竟然是女主活了
三星半，结局思路不错但是有些反高潮，稍微掉了一点，可惜了
这片子比较一般，关于值得玩味的结局分析我有长影评，可以下面翻翻。值得一提的是我一直以为星云一副冷酷傲娇的表情是角色需要，没想到这货原来一直就是这样的表情。。。
木讷如行尸走肉的表情，是生活本身让女主失去自我？还是荒谬绝伦的替身制度已经麻痹了周遭的一切？我觉得结局无论本体还是替身，哪个活下来已经变得无足轻重了。
6分。科幻外衣下的人性探讨。许多对白还是很精炼的，还很黑色幽默，故事讲得很流畅，最后的结局也在意料之中。
一般水平，各种元素都有，显得有点凌乱了，反转有点硬。很多需要洗洗雕刻，都没有处理好。
确实让人想到天鹅婉歌，形式与主题不错，拍的确实烂，不如天鹅挽歌完整精致。
整个剧感觉太荒诞了，但是正是因为这种荒诞的剧情映射出更加荒诞的现实。女主完全没有自我意识，不知道为什么全片完全没有提及女主的工作，可能觉得不需要提及也可以脑补。最后结局不管是本体还是复制体，都太可悲了。妈妈和男友简直无敌恶心🤢
有两处跳跃太快:一是克隆体怎么出来的，就切了个画面回来，一个大活人就出来了，如果这么快代谢速度成长，死亡也会很快吧；二是在森林里本体口出血后就直接跳到比赛场了，也不知道车子怎么残的，腿怎么崴的。看了很多人的分析，我觉得就从吃的喜好就能判断出来了，本体喜欢墨西哥菜，克隆喜欢法国菜。因此，脑补的结局就是，本体喝了克隆的水后中毒，锻炼了一年的战斗技巧施展不开，被克隆体干掉后穿着本体的衣服来到赛场，事后男友问去吃墨西哥菜吗，克隆肯定回答不吃，克隆由于开车不熟练（克隆和本体在车上曾一起聊过开车，本体算是客观上教了克隆开车），起步时顿挫几下慢慢就好了，但听完妈妈的录音，知道妈妈原来知道自己是克隆的但还要帮助自己（男友估计不知道），替本体不值，最后车子停的地方一看就是逆行，也推断出克隆不懂交通规则。
有点真假美猴王的意思，真悟空被打死，六耳猕猴成了真悟空陪三藏求取正经。片中本体杀掉克隆体后，还要以克隆体名义才能和家人男友一起生活，克隆的意义就是拥有同样的面孔却有自我性格的躯体！#电影 #双重躯体
她和莎拉在小屋裡的對話明顯就講了母親是藉colour con對她進行要脇、情緒勒索；而且複製體以前沒有雀斑，男友才會說她皮膚特別脆弱，又明知她討厭墨西哥餐也逼她一起吃。
