Jean is a country girl who used to go to church every day to pester the priest to do confession. She has a pure heart that is different from ordinary people, and everything around her can be Wonderful in her eyes.

Suddenly one day she was playing on the lawn and found an ordinary sword. She likes to dream that she thinks this is a sacred object and responsibility given to her by God.

After witnessing that the village was burned down by the British army and her sister was raped and murdered by the British soldiers, Jean began to hate the British, and under the guidance of "God", started the road of revenge.

God always favors those young people who are diligent, eager to learn, motivated, and paranoid to crazy, so Jean started a sturdy life. Under many unknown circumstances, this female snake spirit led the sluggish French army to miraculous victories, regained lost ground, and brought glory to the soldiers. But miracles come and go quickly.

We often attribute a series of successes to being "like a god," so Jean, more convinced that he was a messenger from God, began yelling at the king of France. She is still paranoid clamoring for the earth, but the scale is no longer on her side.

The purpose of the French king's coronation has been achieved, even if Jean, who saved him the coronation opportunity, is just a mad woman who is a mad woman, and he will not hesitate to pay the ransom for her.

In prison, God's revelation did not come, instead, the devil was entangled around Jean. Yes, she began to doubt life.

When life is brilliant, we attribute it to our own extraordinaryness; when setbacks come in a flash, we attribute misfortune to luck. Angels and demons are in the depths of our hearts, appearing at the two extremes of luck respectively, and life has become more dramatic as a result.

Joan of Arc was convinced that she was a messenger of God until her death, and later she became a literati, a saint praised by artists. But she was only 19 years old when she was burnt down. History can immortalize a person, but it cannot ensure her happiness in her own life.

Isn't it bad to be a normal person?

Joan of Arc was burned at the stake in 587.

    The role changes and belief turmoil before and after Joan of Arc are really interesting. Of course, you can say that Joan of Arc is: a mental patient with a broad mind, dreaming to save France~

    I'm so sick of this movie where the British and French troops speak English. How eager is Luc Besson to please the English-speaking world. Just saw this version from Dreyer-Bresson's version, and Joan of Arc is really not used to such a commercial re-creation. A few strong stylized designs are still flattering, but the overall shot is too long... Then, this version finally turns Joan of Arc into a downright schizophrenic.

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.
