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'.

动乱只会愈演愈烈，往后的京都没有你们这些假志士的立足之地。
3.5吧，给四颗鼓励下。武打真的不错，艺术性上比动画版相差蛮多的，女主的颜真的有点磕不动。。。
前面一路杀进营帐才发现死的都是友军
4.5星，比第一部好太多，电影呈现的是绝美的悲剧，看了非常动容。巴和剑心是菊与刀的完美呈现：一静一动、一文一武、佛心与杀心、优美与血腥。巴是剑心的救赎者，剑心让巴感受到了尊重和人性之善。值得深思的问题：为了一个正义的目标可以除去挡路之人吗？
结果都会夺走身边人的生命。
绯村剑心出生于幕末时代的日本，原名绯村心太。参加了桂小五郎、高杉晋作等长州藩维新志士的“奇兵队”募集，因剑术出众而被桂小五郎任命为专门暗杀幕府要员的刽子手。
和第一集一样，我还是只能看半小时，无法理解这种Cult 文化。#20210809
电影里的日本武士打斗令人觉得真实、危险。这一点和比较缥缈的中国武侠相比感觉相当不错。
佐藤健年轻的时候为什么不拍，现在完全没有少年感了
浪客剑心电影系列，在我这永远都是满分。感概经典系列完结了。
甚至觉得这是五部中拍得最好的一部了。打戏一如既往地优秀，但感情和氛围真挚太多，最后的雪落镜头惊为天人。高马尾的砂糖太绝了，绯村剑心这个身处变革时代中的悲情人物真的最终落幕了
除了滚导的恶趣味神经质、反套路情节、独特选歌品味以外，最喜欢的居然是字幕哈哈，融合进实景很可爱。派大星莫名萌，小丑女依旧是最亮眼角色
反套路剧情，华丽摇滚配乐，鲜花蝴蝶打造血浆美学，跟几年前的同名爆米花相比算是大惊喜。小丑女值得一部单人电影，又美艳又疯癫，每次出场都像在开盲盒，这特么才是反传统英雄的正确打开方式啊~
怎么做到的啊！！画面血腥暴力却又天真烂漫，剧情看似荒诞其实是对现实讽刺。人物都个性鲜明，peacemaker为了所谓的’peace’滥杀无辜，监狱里的badass和疯子真的就是坏人吗？最重要的是，Harley Quinn这个角色实在是太迷人了……地窖杀出来那一段我大呼过瘾，为什么可以萌到血浆都是五彩缤纷小花瓣……而且她真的承担了90%的笑点。（简直怀疑第一部看了个假电影）五星送上！对啦配乐也棒棒！
讲的还算完整的追忆篇。最后被那封信感动的一塌糊涂。剑心是当初最爱的漫画之一了，因为也是第一部，翻来覆去看了好多次。一直都不喜欢追忆篇，ova的画风接受无能。这部里的剑心也太美女，田野间捧着萝卜的大美女，有村躺在雪里也好美。总体来说就好感谢casting director和造型师，把好多角色都真人化出来了。ook的ed为什么每一首都那么像？为什么总不能给冲田总司多点头发！？
为了和平，杀死再多的人我也义不容辞，包括妇女和儿童！
时代变革两种立场的信仰冲突
做了不少细节改动，让村花的雪代巴竟……成立了……配乐很克制，倒也索性完全是另一种味道。除了总司的发型一切都极好，说是漫改天花板都唐突了，不应该放在「漫改」这个大类里（。
可惜的是去掉了“白梅香”的点
