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'.

明显的小成本电影，没有特效，基本靠人和场景来推动剧情。拍的感觉还可以，值得一看，有些情节构思的不错，作为科幻片我觉得还是合格的，只是这种片子不太讨巧。
前边一半的铺垫感觉太漫长了，差点坚持不下去。
三个主演在不同平行空间里的展现出了不同的性格
看新闻说阿尔迪斯·霍吉要演美版，片子做得还算不错的，导演编剧有花了些心思。
对这种题材真是百看不厌，我是能够理解杀死平行世界的自己的，现在又觉得被平行的自己杀死也算是不错的归宿。
【6.5】如果它不是一个如此纯正的缝合怪电影，我还可以给它一个一个小而精的夸奖，就不罗列像哪些电影了，评论说的都对，而且表演稍微差点，成本看起来也很低，国产科幻仍需努力啊。
No.2322 在B站上看了雷神的很多视频，第一次看他的作品，想着再去看一部，点进个人主页一看他只有这一部作品。整体格调介于院线和网大之间，能看得出成本不高。剧情挺有意思，但因为成本和场地选择，感觉剧情又有些贫瘠。男女主角的演技还是可以的。但总觉得这个故事之前看过，记不得电影的名字了。
故事改编的还行，但就是在多空间转化的过程中少了一些层次感
后半部分崩了，像个学生作业。不过黑龙江中俄边境的嘉荫县取景太美了，国内很少有这种氛围的景色。
风景很漂亮，三人一台戏，演员演技还算在线，有点可惜的是大荧幕会放大一切，站在女主视角男主更像多重人格设定，如果男演员的表情和肢体语言能再丰富些就好了。
实名DISS短评第一，优酷独播的片子你是怎么在爱奇艺看的。
很有意思的小成本制作，剧本挺用心了。有几层惊喜，很难得——首先是看到自己（俗套），接着还能看到别人（多人穿越有点意思），然后回去了却又回不去（物理学逻辑链的涟漪），最后最了解的人却不是最合适的人（心理上猜疑链导致的涟漪），结果可能却只是弥留国（算开放结局）。
拍的属实不错 有很多经典电影的影子《彗星》《恐怖游轮》《时空罪恶》
还可以，可以再拍得跌宕起伏一点，我蛮喜欢这个结局的。
20天,小成本典范😂还有取景很漂亮,很多高空景~
57。很棒的剧本和节奏，正是因为女主的自私才不致于烂尾。
又是颅内幻想，整体剧情很明显的借鉴了恐怖游轮，平行空间的设定有一点点新意，一点点烧脑。好莱坞已经买下了版权，真是进口转出口。
小成本电影来说算很不错了，满分十分的话给八分也没问题，但是我不太喜欢里面强行打破悬念的部分，所以后来只给到七分。
拍的属实不错 有很多经典电影的影子《彗星》《恐怖游轮》《时空罪恶》
国产版《彗星来的那一夜》。最后去到了自己想要的完美空间。
