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'.

花俏的坏品味，但有趣也是真的。Margot Robbie永远是加分项，她对这个角色“娱乐至死”的传达特别好
高马尾绯村yyds。相比于前两部文戏部分和完整度真的要强很多，村花也比想象中更适合这个角色（暗夜闪电里被淋了一身血的雪代巴好绝），新旧时代交替的苍凉与浪漫，举起剑又放下剑仿佛只经过了一瞬。
浪漫，至死不渝。
故事回到一切开始的源点。之前看三部曲的时候，感觉剑心和熏已经越来越水到渠成。后来看了最终章，才知道原来还有一位巴小姐和剑心有过一段情。而且熏和巴看上去确实是同样类别。都是明显的禁欲系。也许正好配剑心的冷峻。回顾剑心真人版五部曲，应该说本作中的感情戏处理的最好。而动作戏可能最弱化。
没能打五星的原因是因为更熟悉OVA版岩崎琢的配乐（也听了多年），二十多年前片尾雪代巴的幻象配合当时的BGM轻轻拥抱剑心的感动真是太喜欢了。
DC漫威化，同时没有丢掉自己的R级优势。什么爆浆，生吞活人，生殖暴露都有～另，XX教育课备课刚好用了古巴导弹危机的案例，猪湾啊南美啊～还有我的密集恐惧症似乎只限于对除货币以外的静止物体。
建议放在人诛篇甚至是传说完结篇之前看，本身文戏的高比重和较慢的节奏适合做大战前的缓和，同时也能更好地理解剑心的战斗理念。另外村花这么好看为什么都在黑村花。
反派的大胡子，旧式迷彩和地理位置，都2021年了还不竭余力的抹黑古巴🤮🤮 最后还不忘来一句人民迎来了第一次民选大选... 拍电影就拍，别夹杂这些令人作呕的私货，这么直白只会让人感觉到特效背后一个摇摇欲坠的帝国在陨落之际的拼死挣扎🤮🤮
我滴妈呀，三次元漫改巅峰了。。。村花的阿巴也太好看了，呜呜呜(┯_┯)
本来是抱着不太纯的念头打开的，但最后居然越来越入戏甚至流了泪。说起来还是感谢银魂，对日本的这段历史稍微有了点儿了解，所以不会一头雾水。
都是无意义的，就是玩儿。
DC在今年成功向迪士尼漫威呸出一口痰～ #对，我就是在拉踩《黑寡妇》#
DC早这么拍，早就超越漫威了，全程恶趣味，最后一样可以满满正能量。
OVA珠玉在前了，分镜都分好了，电影复刻省事很多。村花撑起了巴的角色，可惜白梅香这个点没用上，看来导演真没什么野心，就四平八稳地把故事讲下去。本来很期待的打戏，这次反倒没太多亮点，血色白雪可能是为数不多的记忆点。结尾闪回系列第一部开头用上熟悉的配乐，拉回几分悲怆感。
里面男女主人公的那种爱情，慢慢的，也暖暖的，温暖了像机器人一样只会杀人的剑客，让他差点放下杀人武器变得柔软。只是好时光太像是假的，所以很快就消逝了。里面的几个镜头语言印象深刻，一个是2人刚到农村小屋时候的秋天的自然厚重和他们衣服颜色统一和谐，表示一种温暖的感觉，一个是熊熊烈火在两人交好之时，但是人物却没有出现镜头中，依然表达了日式的那种热烈和含蓄；还有一个是雪中死亡拥抱的画面，女人因为出卖男人却最后也因为爱他保护而死去的那种凄却美，日式审美的物哀、幽玄、侘寂等可见一斑。
哈莉·奎茵 以一当百、矛刃散花那段，和《一代宗师》里刀刃见棉、雪花飞舞 异曲同工。都TM美得酷呆了！
最不像浪客剑心系列的浪客剑心电影，不过却是内容丰富度和完成度最好的一部，白雪纷飞、鲜血淋漓，典型的日本式凄美。
没看过漫画和动画版，电影版很好看，巴小姐悲剧，爱上杀夫仇人。最后一句“对不起，夫君”加上一刀，像是对两个男人都说了。
《追忆篇》完成了对绯村剑心形象的补完，他的不恭与自在，脱胎于血与火的摧残以及永逝挚爱后的大悲。
开场杀阵就很厉害，这篇收尾文武两全。追忆篇不仅靠感情戏撑住主线，而且剑心和巴的感情不是因为任何外在的因素，而是价值观的结合，顿时显得天真少女熏非常无聊。高桥一生的桂小五郎出现时间不多，却是本篇的文眼，淡淡一笑说出最残酷的话，政治家人设一下子立住。不仅男女主之间，桂，即使反派也是和巴探讨大义，巴作为一个独立思考的人决定支持剑心，而不是一个可爱单纯需要被保护的小姑娘。有村架纯演技和气质都合适，剑心系列完美结束真是太好了。
