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'.

还可以，看过挺多驱魔的电影和美剧，这个内容还算挺新颖，神与魔只隔了一个信念，转瞬即可变换，全篇充斥着圣经内信仰与典故……最后神父变成了魔鬼，而之前的魔鬼变成了上帝的使者……
歲末寒冬爆米花佳片，回溫5度就會覺得無聊老套拖拉沒靈魂。
反向驱魔哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，笑死了我，这点有创意，我喜欢
对于没有基督教信仰的我来说就单纯的看个热闹，对此类恐怖片已经完全无感，就是为了恐怖而营造恐怖。最后上帝还被路西法驱逐了，恶魔主宰人间，还真是蛮讽刺的。两星半。
没有养分生涩的纯傻恋片。男主帅以外，没有任何看点。
有色调，但是氛围，刺激感，压迫感不够
这怕是梵蒂冈出资拍的吧，最后还anti homosexual
故事很短小简单，还好吧不算恐怖，角度倒是蛮新奇
Lol 剧情好亚洲...涂口红画面zoom in口红都能不一样，真是随便在拍的
致敬驱魔人的地方很多，非常规驱魔片，创新感十足！有好几个镜头真的吓到我了！不过最后的正邪对峙，略显尴尬😳
好久没看这种纯磕CP的糖水片了，果然势均力敌、性张力强的CP最好磕。
哈哈哈哈哈哈以为是吐槽，确实是恶魔给神父驱魔为了驱除上帝
挺有意思的一部关于宗教和人性的恐怖片，整体不恐怖，也就是一些特效化妆。在时间和叙事上有创新。关于对神的追求者所要求的绝对纯净没有欲望是不可能达到的，人性中总有弱点有舍弃不了的东西，所以最终被魔鬼入侵和攻击也是宿命。类似的宗教恐怖片也很多。这一个的独特之处就是魔鬼最终驱逐了牧师体内的上帝。
其实男主是一直喜欢女主的吧，一次次向女主示好，只有女主一直以为对方是在玩玩而已没有认真，总是说一些或者做一些伤人的话。感觉男主真的很nice好脾气，要是都在跟对方表达爱意之后还因为一点误会就说出那么难听的话我要是男主我真的就不想跟对方在一起。设定挺带感的，但是没有想象中的那么有感觉。但是也好想现实生活中有这么一个干啥都不顺眼总是能吵起来的家伙，结果发现竟然是sexual attraction呢
当然缺点也很明显，驱魔过程过于朴素，以为刚开始其实已经快结束了，不过看结尾后续故事还有很多可拍（可作为驱魔人剧集前传来看）
上帝与恶魔之战没有对错只有胜负，不管神父修女还是其他人，都不过是棋子而已。
一个不好不坏，不功不过的作品，只能说是创意不错。
很离谱的展开。有一些好笑的逻辑。但是不吓人。
整体不好看，但确实有新意有亮点，而且高潮段非常乐。
不要相信上帝与你同在，要相信你就是上帝。这句话告诉男主后，男主体内的上帝却被驱逐，真讽刺啊
