Notes on "The Dilemma of Joan of Arc"

The shots of Joan of Arc are like the main melody in a piece of music, while the others are accompaniment: the comparison between the "revelated" Joan and the entire religious institution that has no spirituality and is corrupted by reality. The entire trial process is to ask for answers that are inconsistent with the doctrine. These answers are caused by the intervention of reality and the incompatibility with beliefs. There is a contradiction between the two. And Joan is going to expose these contradictions. Joan was terrified when she was not asked about God, and her performance was very trivial and realistic. At this time, as an answer, Joan's tears. When asked about the belief in God, Joan answered a realistic challenge with a symbolic spiritual answer. (It has specific materiality and objectivity) So the answer is dangerous, because for the priests obtained from the religious trial, they just want to end the trial as soon as possible. Joan of Arc in history should have racked her brains for these questions in the same way. She must go back to her heart to find answers.

The performer of Joan, her astonishment is a very peculiar performance. Naive, but alert. Then there is a kind of compassion and compassion. This kind of compassion and compassion is very peculiar, and it is somewhat incompatible with her self-confidence in the identity sent by God. Perhaps it is to express some kind of "sacred" answer.

The second trial: In the answer to "You can be sure that you can be redeemed" (then you don’t need a church), it was particularly wonderful. Jeanne did indeed step into the problem trap of the priests step by step, and then used her spirituality to bring herself After she was rescued, she replied: If I have been saved, ask God to continue to give it to me, if I haven't got it, ask God to give it to me.

Joan often turns her head to the left and right in the camera. Joan turns to the left, her aid (or what she thinks) is on the left, and her trial is on the right.

In the video, there are fears and encounters with divine grace. These are the two states of Joan of Arc. "She is very cunning." This is the judgment of the trial agency on her.

The priests who supported her all wanted her to sign and save her life. At this time, the tired Joan... Joan does not act in it, she just speaks and makes facial expressions. When she said, I want to take back (signature), she felt that she had denied God in order to save her life. "Everything I say is because of the fear of fire torture." She is afraid that the performance of fire torture must be programmed, as if to make the performance a kind of visual food.

Luhmann said that individuals are not important in the media. It is true that individuals can be completely buried, and only the media is used to announce things. Media announcements can become the core work of the organization. But in the story of Joan of Arc, what we see is that the destiny of individuals and their beliefs are the concern of institutions, or the work they deal with.
