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'.

3+1星。真好，2022年了，还有人在坚持拍这种没有热度、没有流量的电影，还有人没有放弃武侠。这部电影看到了很多前辈的影子，打斗场面挺不错的，就是故事简单了点。
看的很难受啊，人物逻辑都很奇葩，没一个舒服的角色。最后是一个劝人别打架的主题？
打戏还可以，文戏部分太敷衍了一点，网大里面还算可以的吧
有名字的角色都是黑人，仅有的个白人就是路人甲，充满BLM和LGBTQ等所谓政治正确的烂片，烂到无懈可击
动作戏尚可，剧情逻辑有些混乱，不如扬长避短
太好看的武侠片了，武打戏真的棒！五星拉拉分！
还是鼓励，不谈剧情。很喜欢这种打斗偏写实的武侠片，《卧虎藏龙》那种我是真的一点也看不下去。另外很推荐这种小成本武侠片在剧情上更写意一点，搞点哲学进去，其实武侠片大有可为。
导演在看了《倭寇的踪迹》《双旗镇刀客》《绣春刀》《水浒传之豹子头林冲》等等有的没的片单后自信爆棚感觉我能行，结果拍出来不但习作水准还毫无新意。
看到西部都觉得很喜欢的荒凉感。剧情和武打还有待提高。
西北刀客的武侠故事。有点古龙小说的味道。作为腾讯视频独播的小制作，这种质量已经算不错了。
场景加分，人物动作都加分，编剧太弱了。交待的太细，情感拉的太长，看着看着就想快进，江湖儿女不都是为活而卖命，导演没拍出来。这个女主演的大内密探很好看，比一般的垃圾电影好很多，看的到导演用心了。但是实力差点，花点子太少
剧本是真烂！好没态度！
选角很好
天大地大还是大漠和江湖更配，就是发配了十年也不见他们老我着实有点着急。千里不留行也可以叫《背锅侠林大卫的悲惨大漠生活》
十年后，大赦，回镇，土匪头子复仇；
剧本还可以，最后的枪战挺不错，就是太架空了，换在安哥拉或纳米比亚比较适合，非要突出反歧视，可以搞个印第安牛仔剧；要ZZZQ直接用现代米帝更好嘛
《论补刀的重要性》：超出预期的作品，值得一看。
剧情一塌糊涂，节奏把握的很差劲，唯一的亮点是鬼刀林和长刀客两人在坟头拼刀的部分，在这里武指有大师风范了，懂得藏巧于拙。其他地方就不行了，两人最后那一段拼刀也很一般，完全就是比狠了。
切记不要把背后留给不信任人。“你妈的，又捅这里”哈哈哈哈，笑喷了。 动作不错，走的偏实战路线，像我最近玩过的游戏骇历四斩
分两次看完的，没那么吸引我，复仇之渊，复仇的人越陷越深
