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'.

在这个成本下完成度非常高了，其他作品的描摹影子还是比较明显。
国内终于有开始尝试模仿拍摄这类题材的电影了。“彗星来的那一夜”，“恐怖游轮”，虽然差着十万八千里，但勇气可嘉，值得鼓励，有了开始，后面好好努力。一类剧本逻辑性必须特别强，而且又是小成本电影，场景人物都很简单，只要剧本ok，都能拍的起
这种制作精良的小成本网大咱就是说还是非常不错的。
恐怖游轮+彗星来的那一夜，抄袭还是借鉴不重要，重要的是拍得不咋地
开始节奏比较慢后面渐入佳境,不同平行时空的存在,你到底是谁？！貌似拍摄只用了
看到有人在做了很开心。
概念设置的还算不错了，就是整体的故事不是特别出彩吧
挺不错，至少做到了非扁平化。因为国产加一个星！
男主演技有点可惜，因为燕子一直是燕子，但男主变化无穷，所以其实是很有发挥空间的一个角色。剧情上已经在现有的桎梏中有所突破了，真难为了这些有理想的年轻导演们，事实证明，真想拍出新意还是有无限可能的，哪怕是低成本。
国产可以的 女主演技也是没想到的棒
完成度很高的电影，但不如同类型的《彗星来的那一夜》。故事很完整，几乎没有bug，超自然面前人性被体现出来了，演员演技也很棒
海报抄袭游戏《心灵杀手》，故事剧情明明就是缝合怪，抄都抄的这么拙劣，抖音、B站找了些UP主各种吹捧自己，连国字头媒体、腾讯媒体都下场了，有钱做宣发，却标榜是小成本，头都笑掉了。
可以总结的是，导演阅片量可以，但以“小成本”和“被好莱坞翻拍的国产科幻电影”作为卖点的话，就显得弄巧反拙。
脉络清晰的小成本电影，拍成这样真的很惊艳。
导演执意要去走上一条科普性质的软科幻 让前面好似拙劣的模仿外国电影的分镜到最后还是沦落成一种普普通通的网络剧本 如果能在创意上卯足了劲保持神秘感 还是挺有发挥空间的 希望欧美买过去别搞砸了这个具有潜力的剧本
借鉴太多减一星吧，其实挺好的。好想认识一下这个导演😂
立意很高，野心很大，但是各个方面都比较一般，人性挖掘也不够。直观来说国外的我都不敢看，而这个我当时差点睡着
“我们永远也不可能知道我们是从哪个空间来的。”
整体很让人意外的高完成度。中段略显沉闷，不过风景还不错看。
这片真不错，算是难得的国产好片。风景优美堪比旅游宣传片，摄影水平在线，导演相对克制没有渲染血浆，比如女主有没有杀自己这些地方做了留白是好评。为了获得幸福宁可杀死自己，是这类片永恒的核心，其实跟时间穿越剧类似，都是吃后悔药。影片另一层的隐喻在于，走出悲伤杀死过去的自己，才有可能面对未来，甚至出现奇迹。几个缺点说一下，影片过早地渲染悬疑氛围，平行空间还没发现的时候就开始渲染。几个细节比如独臂人这种，透露得过于刻意。然后作为悬疑来讲，事件展开的突发性不够到位，女主跟博士第一次见面的交流，以及被绑时的辩解都过于苍白，令人捉急。咳，万恶之源果然还是毛子... 影片多次致敬库布里克的闪灵，甚至女主也神似。（而且女主长得非常像我小学班主任）小成本制作的国产电影能拍出这种北美风格，实在是值得鼓励。推荐！
