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'.

“过去让人念念不忘，过去只是一系列美好的瞬间。如同珍珠串联而成的时光之链，唯一能找到的倩影是，追忆过去的自己。我们怀旧，所以怀念过去。”

诺兰弟妻子自编自导，拍的很柔情。世界观设定独特结构工整，摄影分镜和配乐太赞啦。丽贝卡歌喉真不错，狼叔旁白有磁性。西部世界老鸨记女加上身材保持良好的彦祖，这选角绝了。
立意很好，情感悬疑科幻都揉起来讲还是讲浅了
我还不如重看一遍《盗梦空间》《记忆碎片》……
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
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。
你以为是金刚狼大战MI6特工，实际上是个揉了一堆老梗，连科幻点子都很underdeveloped的悬疑爱情片。你以为女导演的作品就没有男性凝视？那真是大错特错。故事走向和呈现手法真是又矫情又俗气，中段几乎催眠，彦祖的台词总共就没几句还尬到极致。也就只有结尾稍显脱俗。导演自我感动的同时，以为全程播放狼叔的低音炮旁白观众也就跟着感动了
就这……菲茨杰拉德式的台词可能是唯一可看的地方，只能说看完想重读夜色温柔了
2星半，冷科幻的外壳包裹下，俗套的爱情故事，只是揉进了各类元素乱炖在一起，阿祖的角色有些鸡肋。
4.3 诺氏家族都很喜欢呼唤爱，这堆不表达懂爱的人组成一个家庭也是很神奇了
没有狼叔的颜值在撑的话，这个片就没必要看了…虽然看得出来，主创想让题材显得新潮，但缺乏吸引力。
m21221：自证眼光，沉迷过去。不往前看？？？
剧情还行，但是男女主的情感刻画过于单薄不足以成为推动故事走向的契机，看完印象最深的是吴彦祖的中英混搭台词
糟糕节奏的水国列车，电视剧的节奏硬拍成了电影。结局也太烂了！想艺术但是根本没那艺术劲！
未来水世界
故事到最后时，黑警说你真正认识她时，你会大吃一惊，以为还有什么不可思议的大反转。后面我觉得可能是女主知道男主一定会看到黑警的记忆，所以将黑警当成男主，深情的去说，让他莫名其妙的缘故吧！可能他认为女主喜欢他吧！很好的爱情故事，可惜想讲的太多，有点讲不透彻。
导演是诺兰的弟妹，所以电影借用了盗梦空间的壳。但奈何水平拉跨，拍出来一个四不像的电影。剧情虽然说得通，不难理解，但剧本着实拉跨，真的没啥吸引人地方。本以为这是一部盗梦空间2.0，没想到这是一个爱情故事，而且就算作为一个爱情电影，他也是不合格的。最后三星给狼叔和Rebecca Ferguson，毕竟这俩都是我喜欢的演员。
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。
6分 刻画了这么大的一个背景 你就给我讲了一个这么小格局的无聊爱情故事…吴彦祖你以为他是个BOSS吧，其实他就是个打酱油的…
