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'.

江渊小可爱，爱了爱了
打斗戏堪称一绝 文戏稍有薄弱可也有使人深思之处 最后所有府客为了生计立马倒戈向罗通也是一处妙笔
枕刀歌的武侠世界不是金庸笔下的的写神功写奇遇写恩怨也不是古龙的写邪兵写美女写怪客
没有居所，没有银两，没有食物，甚至身负重伤，背负血海深仇，身外无一物，仅凭一身武艺，一丝信念，肝胆义勇，融此身入江湖，这才是真正的江湖儿女，活在此刻，无所畏惧，纵使天崩地裂风雨飘摇，枕刀而歌，尘世前行
大势不是这么改的。
来这世上一遭，
枕刀歌这个系列，真的是非常优秀了，一个字：爽！
3.正片里一闪而过就下线的罗通和红娘原来也有属于自己的精彩过去
没看过原TV，直接看的长片。看完就是非常后悔，感觉足足浪费了一个半小时。本以为会是类似《异邦人：无皇刃谭》那种，结果打戏部分也并不出色，没有什么特点，而且过于密集且每次的时长都比较短，看得也很不尽兴。至于文戏，不明白稍微把故事讲圆了就这么难吗？人物的行为更是毫无动机可言，看得非常难受。
动机来的真是莫名其妙，但武打场面是真的精彩！
看淡生死，难凉热血 打的好漂亮，剧情简单也是瑕不掩瑜 啊我的女侠梦☺ง
硬核武侠，热血江湖，诚意满满。
罗通有帮他偷陨石的红娘，有打铁也看人的江渊帮他造无免戟，有生死看淡，难凉热血的龙顺帮他行侠仗义报仇雪恨。
武打还是一如既往的硬桥硬马，剧情比起TV版的波诡云谲就差远了，尤其是最后死了老大投诚的杂兵，简直像是恶搞…
另外，整部戏的背景与风格有时会让我想到了《现在去见你》……（过后看了一下导演作品，果然是同一个人的！不过《现在去见你》比这部要厉害不少～）
西门仁是理想主义者吗？不过罗通也成了下一个西门仁，然后等人上门复仇。
看完之后感触，我国大力发展交通建设是很有必要的
西门仁此人再多刻画三分，一定会是特别有魅力的反派。
除了村民一起修火车站这段儿真实事件值得感动一下 其余全部拼凑+YY 而且是相当严重的妄想症 比如白富美青睐贫困学习机器 比如通过考试去NASA 简直是YY无下限 真不愧是大寒冥国
武打可，漕帮帮主被杀，少帮主成为疑凶，一众武林人士喊打喊杀，反派为清空临清武林的梦破了。
