Joan of Arc was originally a French rural girl. She claimed that one day when she was sixteen, she met the angels St. Michael, St. Margaret and St. Catherine under the big tree behind the village, and obtained "God The enlightenment", she was asked to lead her troops to regain the lost land in France that was occupied by the English at that time. Later, after several turns, she obtained military power, and in 1429, she broke the Siege of Orleans and became a famous French heroine. Later, she led soldiers to defeat the invaders in England many times, and promoted Charles VII, who had the right to succeed to the throne, in July of the same year. He was crowned on the 16th. However, Joan of Arc was captured by the Duchy of Burgundy in a skirmish in Compiègne in 1430, and was soon purchased by the English for a large sum of money. The Inquisition under the control of the English authorities sentenced her to fire for heresy and witches. He was executed in public in Rouen, France on May 30, 1431. When the English army was completely expelled from France 20 years later, Jeanne's elderly mother persuaded Pope Calixter III to retry Jeanne's case and finally vindicated her in 1456. It was canonized by the Vatican 500 years later.

    It is worth comparing with Bresson's version, which is also narrated based on the records of the Inquisition, but the difference in film concept and image construction method leads to a huge gap in emotional concentration, but in the end, it uses the power of film to show the power of faith. The levels are the same. Bresson restores objects to materials, transforms space into physical models, and substitutes actions into his own force analysis; while Dreyer treats all images as faces (not limited to the close-ups aimed at Joan of Arc), transforms all images into faces. The movement is described as impulsive, and even the subtitle cards that pop in and out are given extra-semantic emotions. The editing is full of passion and keeps moving forward. Who would have thought to experience the precious musicality in the movie again, in such a work that has no sound yet.

    9.6; destroyed space. The "velocity" of silent film here abandons the requirement of silent film narrative aesthetics, and restores the perceptibility of time.
