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'.

影评～世间安得双全法，不负如来不负卿：
驱魔内容太少了，要讲的东西很大，但是涉及整体驱魔的过程和内容太少了，回归本心就是上帝，那有什么魔可驱的？本来驱魔就应该穿插很多宗教知识，理念，面向魔鬼诱惑的心里斗争，但是明明自己的心魔才是最大的障碍，何必要强加一个魔鬼来呢？
很一般的办公室恋情。男主爹演得不错。女主身高差点颜值也差。
前期节奏感真的不错，很活力。但后期感觉落入了俗套的琼瑶式剧情延申。作为爆米花或是轻喜剧还是蛮不错的。
世界文化是相通的 国外叫驱魔 国内叫抓鬼抓妖 魔鬼都是上帝衍生出来的 鬼怪都是佛祖派来的 所有事情都是有两面性的 看多了也没啥意思 只要不害怕 害怕的就是别人
7《驱神》，主旨非常反类型、反正统，表现方式也在驱魔片里非常离奇，近乎丧尸片，开头那段是我看过最骚的驱魔
特效有点假，虽然好多恶魔的镜头，但是不恐怖
第一幕出来的时候我以为下成了别的什么片……后面还好，不过用镇静剂科学与恶魔斗争也是没想到，特别最后有种比谁的嗓门大的意思……感觉可以来第二部
好喜欢，轻喜剧，高颜值，小清新，性张力也很足。本是竞争对手，天天除了打嘴炮还有心理战，却在日常的斗嘴过程中互生情愫，好像一个游戏又加了爱情的味道。和竞争对手的激烈竞争也可以成就一个更好的自己，to be a better version of ourselves。势均力敌的爱情，有点甜。
恐怖片最后也是回归到人性的本质，善恶就在一瞬间
高潮：鬼比神父话多，导致驱魔失败～
上次看过比较优秀的驱魔电影是净化之时，这部也不错。
笑死了，对吼式驱魔，上帝被驱了，笑疯我，那个丧尸耶稣尤其好笑
反正两拨人，谁能把窗户喊碎了，谁就能赢。。。狮吼功是永远的真神。
甜甜蜜蜜简单不费脑挺好的 很喜欢这样的身高差啊 1384
看到最后才知道这完全就是一部反宗教的驱魔片 与以往正义战胜邪恶题材不同的是这部是恶魔战胜了上帝并披着天使般的皮囊下在人间光明正大的行走 完全就是一部挑战基督教徒的信念的电影
低分是有点disrespect，尤其是Christ拖着十字架那段，对于基督徒来说不可原谅；另外，怎么拍成了丧尸片？驱魔的部分太弱了，比谁的声音大？声音大代表faithful？唯一亮点是结局的思考，God和Satan的战争从未止息，追求世俗或者其他的偶像，不能进入the kingdom of the god.
还行吧，看完这电影，真觉得Woody Allen太会拍这类故事。
我命令你從她身體里離開⋯你進來我就離開⋯
