It's very strange. On the night of the college entrance examination, I didn't go out and went crazy. I found this movie silently, watched it again, and wondered why I thought of it. Later, I thought that maybe it was the same as the girl in the movie, who was lonely and uneasy, so I wanted to hear her sentence "I want you to be with me now".
The movie is too long. I watched it several times, but I only saw half of it. Joan of Arc won the battle, so I always thought that the movie was about a bloody war. Until last night, I watched the second half of it, and then I felt that it was the same as before. is a misunderstanding. The God that Joan of Arc saw turned out to be another face of Satan.
Reminds me of Dreyer's "The Passion of Joan of Arc" I saw not long ago, Joan of Arc was tried and burned, they teased her and put a crown of thorns on her, just like Jesus's. Luc Besson's version tells the story of Joan of Arc's life in its entirety, even though her life was only nineteen years.
Forgetting the original intention, going our own way, self-righteousness... We will all have it. Pascal's "Morality and Doctrine" said, "There are only two kinds of people, the righteous, who think they are sinners, and the sinners, who think they are righteous." When judged by the bishop, Joan of Arc insisted Said, I don't want to be judged by you, I am the messenger of God, you are not qualified to let me say what I don't want to say; when the bishop asked Joan to recite the Lord's Prayer, Joan of Arc repeatedly asked, you must first listen to my confession... ...She herself was full of contradictions by this time.
Ravi Zacharias "The Great Weaver" said that the reason why our lives are full of troubles is because we live in a fallen world.
Why fight and kill. It's not the call of God, it's the fear in your heart, or even evil thoughts. It was Joan of Arc who finally said to Satan in black, proud, selfish and cruel. I think of someone who said that the Crusades and the Nazi massacre of Jews were all in the name of God, and they were famous for their teachers. They gave their conscience to God, so they had no scruples, and they were inferior to ordinary people. Does Joan of Arc in the movie also have this reason, if so, how terrible, the most terrible thing is to lose judgment.
So where is the limit of God's forgiveness and grace for us? In this way, belief is manipulated and used by people knowingly or unknowingly, becoming no longer pure and beyond recognition. "Merciful Father, I have fallen into the realm of invisible sin, please forgive my ego."
Edwards's book "The Affection of Faith" denies many manifestations of religious emotions that are legitimate in people's eyes, such as passion . Don't rely on miracles or revelation, and don't get caught up in fanatical feelings, because faith is based on facts and faith, not on feelings and emotions.
Use and control, or humility and obedience. A face that is illuminated and contented with joy, not a face that is burnt and distorted.
The end credits say that Joan of Arc was canonized by the Vatican five hundred years later. Joan of Arc's final repentance was forgiven by God, and the phrase "please release me", I think, is the most profound line in the movie. Joan of Arc was bound all her life, from terrifying memories of war as a child, to a strong desire to reclaim her country when she grew up, and the guilt of killing people herself. In the end, in prison, he said "Please release me" to Satan in black, and then stood at the stake.
Luke chapter 5 verse 1 says, "Christ set us free, so stand firm, and no longer be held captive by the wickedness of slavery." The liberty he gives is available to you if you ask for it Why wait until the last moment of your life.
It's a bit of a play on the topic. In fact, the movie itself has more content, but my point of interest is here.
