There is no miracle, only faith

In these prehistoric years, there are very few things that can arouse my patience to write about it. But seeing Milla appearing so hard (much better than Resident Evil), and the director is my beloved Luc Besson, I have to briefly mention a few of this old film.

This is just a movie about faith. I don't want many people to discuss the existence of God and Satan based on this, and fight for the identity of the man in black in the film. Luc Besson did not have too many attempts to involve religion, and the religious power of this film is not even comparable to "The Da Vinci Code". This is just a story of ordinary people creating miracles with extremely firm beliefs. You can understand it as the Western version of Yue Fei's biography. Only in Europe in the fourteenth century, religion was always a dead end, just as the demise of the Tang Dynasty was always made up of a noble concubine. For the Chinese—the people who have no faith in Xie Youshun's writings—there is always a bit of mysticism in religious piety, which can be transformed into materials for various literary and artistic creations when necessary. It is better to stay calm about this (if you are not sure, it is best not to talk about religion, especially when a non-joking work involves religion).

I dare not talk more. Let’s get back to the subject and talk about faith.

For each of us, it is good to believe. Faith is a source of power. For example, under the strong belief that workers and peasants all over the world stand up as masters, it has created some miracles of our party (because it is not romantic enough, they have been ignored by everyone); however, partial belief and blind obedience have also led to The catastrophe of a decade of catastrophe. All in all, the degree of personal belief is the key to distinguishing mediocrity from Hitler/Martin Luther King, and the power of a collective belief in Bushido is no less than... a decade of catastrophe.

Joan said: And all who love me follow me! So her soldiers fought to death. But love her dry hair? Just for she loved ONE. The belief. The soul figure of a team does not have to have much patience, but he must have a firm purpose and at the same time make countless capable people desperately loyal.

But what specific use does faith have for us? Can it enable us to make more money quickly and successfully buckle girls? Haha, yes, the Chinese must pursue a universal answer.

Like our group of white-collar workers who have passed the sun and cannot afford a philosophy book, they are no longer the young people who spit on a group of angry young people on the podium. The ideals of Plato and Stephen Hawking have become gilded on our walls. When posters-the concept of belief, we suddenly feel that life is heavy. What can be used to support faith? Do you want me to get a Bible and pretend to attend a few weeks? Or hang inspirational calligraphy on the wall and chant "You are strong" in the mirror every day?

I think you will definitely feel a waste of time.

Joan confessed every day. This is a good idea.

Believers cannot be directly moved to tears by God when they celebrate Mass, but they can always be moved by their own heart of repentance. What people believe in is their own conscience.

It sounds like the story of a mother sheep educating her children. In fact, it is not a violation of conscience that kills people and overtakes goods. When you feel empty and unsteady, you must have done something wrong. A person of faith is always at peace, even if she is so hot that she throws the letter paper on her king's face, she is unwavering. In the film, Joan finally feels that she has violated her beliefs, so she struggles with horror. When she draws a cross on white paper, it is more painful than when she was killing on the battlefield. Fortunately, she died, which is what the black messenger called "liberation." Perhaps not as many people think, its relief is because it finally faces its own entity. Perhaps it was simply because she could no longer find the faith to support, and found that the price she paid was actually selfish and gloomy. She turned into a 19-year-old hesitant girl again, so she chose to end it. For Joan of Arc, a belief is all the meaning of her existence. And for us? I have to say, forget it, I have no faith. So there is no miracle.

I have experienced a miracle, and I hope it will last forever. All colleagues who have read the Afghan novel "The Kite Chaser" should remember the part of the book describing prayer: Amir prayed twice to save the life of death, and the second time he succeeded.

Hey, I didn't reveal the complex of the film. This is a good film and it is worth watching (seeing the ending song all the time). Luc Besson always wants to create a perfect man in his films. Last time it was Lyon, who was nervous, and this time it was an old man in black who appeared on stage with a funny spirit. If there is any shortcoming of Besson, it is that he loves the audience too much and can't bear to let the blood get off the romantic shell. Originally, I also expected that the little attendant who could read and write could spark some sparks with the saint...

    She is full of love for God. She has experienced an unforgettable change. With unparalleled passion, she has awakened the fighting spirit of the French people against the British army. Therefore, she is still Joan of Arc. When she was about to die, her body was distorted by the torment of fire, but her soul was extremely strong, and she saw the light of God in her eyes.

    So where did that sword come from? How did she recognize the king? God didn't tell her what the king looked like. . . Why didn't the British shoot arrows when they attacked that fort? . . The copywriting for prewar agitation was so poor that it couldn't compare to Braveheart. After taking a small fort, Joan of Arc became the old friend of the old fritters, the messenger sent by God, is this progress a little faster? The British army broke the city gate and opened it as soon as it hit it. During the battle of Joan of Arc, the whole process was empty. After the battle, suddenly the Virgin Mary, God, the war is going to kill people. God didn't tell me that, I want to repent. It's intoxicating to cry to let the British army retreat, so the British army really retreated. Is it because she cried pitifully. When Paris was sieging the city, they stood chatting under the city wall, and the British army forgot to release their arrows, which made people think that those French troops were not sieging the city, but rock climbing. Mira's crying scene is good, but why is a heroine crying all the time, crying for anything. I always feel that the American emperor is in black France, the famous heroine in history looks like a mad woman, and the king looks like a coward.

The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc quotes

  • Joan of Arc: This morning God gave us a great victory, but it is nothing compared to what he is ready to give us now. I know you are all tired and hungry, but I swear to you that even if these English were hanging from the clouds by their fingertips we would pull them down before nightfall. Now let all those who love me... follow me! Follow me!

  • Aulon: But how do you know that these voices aren't just really you?

    Joan of Arc: They are me. That's how God speaks to me. Even you could hear them if you listened hard enough.
