hindsight, random

I watched this movie by clicking fast-forward, but even if I clicked fast-forward, I watched it for more than an hour. I guess it's not too fast forward.
Thinking about how ignorant I am of history, I always thought Joan of Arc was a fictional being. It turns out that she really existed in European history, which is really a thing that makes me very blush (ps I think this will happen more in the future).
In fact, after reading it, I feel that whether it is a perspective or a narrative method, I think it's pretty ordinary, but the only two things that I like are: 1. The meaning of God (at least I think it is God) in Joan of Arc's final life, I think this movie mentions a high. People, tracing back to the source, can't escape the happy thoughts after all, it's just that some people see it clearly and others can't open it up. 2. For the character of Joan of Arc, there is no certain identity, some exaggerated "magic power" imposed from a political or religious perspective. The director believes that she is a person after all, an ordinary person with thoughts and feelings, anger, fear, joy and repentance. However, a 19-year-old girl, who ended the 100-year war between Britain and France, was burned to death as a "heretic" and a "witch", which is unbearable.
However, I don't like it. In it, the anger of Joan of Arc's actor, or the performance when he thought it was a miracle, made me feel very strange, and I couldn't tell what I didn't like. That's why I keep fast-forwarding.
In general, just take a look. . .

    Milla Jovovich's acting is really bad, it's an insult to Joan of Arc, I suggest watching Dreyer or Bresson's version....

The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc quotes

  • Aulon: Jeanne! Are you all right?

    Joan of Arc: Yes, I'm fine. Why are you staring at me?

    Aulon: Because there's an arrow in your leg.

    Joan of Arc: [Looks down at arrow] So there is.But that doesn't stop you from climbing!

    [Motions him towards the wall]

    Joan of Arc: Raymond! Take this arrow out of my leg.

  • Joan of Arc: I don't think. I leave that to God. I'm nothing in all this, I'm just the Messenger.
