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'.

并不是所有的武侠都需要快意恩仇，为国为民。最后的妻子有点想起剑雨里的女主。这么说来，当时看完以后觉得也就还行的剑雨，反而成了这些年武侠的巅峰。自己可能是属于最后一批见证过武侠辉煌的人了，以后不知道是否还有武侠片看了。
剧情一般，前2场打斗还不错。
《千里不留行》是最近看到的最好看的动作片，上一部还是《浪客剑心》。《浪客剑心》打斗好看是好看，但是动作戏夸张了点，毕竟是漫改的，那些大招不夸张就没看头了。但是《千里不留行》的打斗就偏正常了，回归到中国之前那些古典武侠的范畴，有点真刀真枪的意思，而不是靠啥内力。《千里不留行》的画面，那个苍凉的塞外，黄沙漫天，瞬间让人燃起了那种豪气。这种片子剧情啥的其实只要像这片子里的那样，简单直接，把一个简单的故事讲好了，加上大家想看的武打动作。一部好的武侠片就成了！
钱都用去知乎买软文了吧…男主那小胳膊还敢称第一刀客？软趴趴的动作➕慢动作很跨。演技也不行，逻辑也不行……真不知道知乎那群人是怎么吹得下去的。
总归是要有梦想的不是么
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
作为个全员籍籍无名的电影，十分有质感和态度了，情节上有点弱，但是值得给够及格鼓励
5.5/10，除了再次给小白强调戚继光多么猛之外也没啥其他可看的，影片动作基本就是普及辛酉刀法十二式。ps:主角三退防贼势然后突然一记丁字回杀很标准。
向传统武侠致敬，刀刀见血，没有那么多废话，不象现在的那些仙侠片，飞来飞去，叨逼叨逼，磨磨唧唧。刀出手就是要吃肉喝血的。故事没啥新意，吃技术饭的小林被信任的老大老陆坑了，不过是老陆看上小林媳妇了，十年流放没换来小林的醒悟，最后还是被老陆当刀使了一回。不过影片为了政治正确，终究没让老陆获得善报，也算是圆了善有善报的因果轮回的美好意愿了。动作打斗的场景推荐朋友们好好看看，怀念最后的剑圣于承惠
低配张震+低配汤唯，这不是老老实实完完整整的讲了个故事吗？这不就挺好的吗？怎么其他干影视的人学不会呢？不过这个名字和框架，完全就是水浒传林冲陆谦蔡京的的变种吧
虽然不是同一类型的影视，但是我还是要说，那个《且试天下》里的一大票所谓的天下第一恐怕连这里的一个小喽啰都打不过
从来没有见过全黑人的美国西部片，实在是太装腔作势而且男男女女都长得很丑，这就是好莱坞的政治正确？
塞北的取景和音乐不错，故事比较简单，情节发展比较慢，男主老婆最后的举动真是难以理解。
剧情真的是太差劲了，不过还算有自己的风格。
这是在致敬王家卫的［东邪西毒］吗……其实还行吧……要什么自行车～
好一西部武侠片。
动作设计上很有诚意了，属于写实武侠吧，比什么雪中慢刀行好得不是一点半点，就是故事逻辑上有一些小问题，故事的节奏也觉得不太对，
舞台剧一样的西部小镇场景，假的要命，剧情爆米花不难看，就是情节简单的过于粗暴。
大漠苍凉的氛围渲染的不错，讲故事的功力需要继续打磨。
小成本武侠电影能拍到这个程度真的很不错了。虽然借鉴了很多风格，有点杂糅，但是整体武侠片的气质还是完整呈现出来了。值得花时间一看。
