In the film "The Passion of Joan of Arc", the sins of Joan of Arc are seen because of her patriotic beliefs, and she died for her beliefs. Watching the entire trial process, Joan of Arc's pain, tears, and fear were particularly uncomfortable. Even if it was just the interpretation after...

The silent dialogue, the atmospheric soundtrack, and the expressive shots symbolize the connotation that the film wants to express, and are touching the sensitive and delicate nerves of the audience step by step.

In my heart, the Son of God is Jesus Christ, and the daughter of God is Joan of...

9/10. Due to the lack of a panoramic view of the environment, coupled with the sharp and skewed camera angle destroying the clear spatial reference, it radically subverts the relationship between human and space. The figures of priests and guards are swollen and often enter the screen in strange postures leaning to the left or right, like floating ghosts. When the judges whisper to each other, the camera slides over their linear and overlapping figures, bulging heads, arched doors and windows, torture instruments, and The head forms an interesting echo/juxtaposition. The subjective point of view of Joan (the camera scans the judges along her gaze and turns to the holy bread). When Joan made her first appearance, took to the cemetery and walked to the execution ground, she cowered in the lower corner of the composition and fell into spears, towers, and arcades. The flanking attack hints at the trial's response-the threat is overwhelming her beliefs. The decorations of the cross (Jan of Arc) and the penalty pole (the judge and the masses) continue to strengthen the relationship of opposition. One of the parties in the conflict, the priest representing the authority controlled the writing, and used forged letters of the king and confession to force Jean to surrender, but Jean was only in Point two pens on the confession (which happens to be a cross). At the end of the scene, the tall penalty pole lined the cross on the top of the church in the distance, and the soul of Joan of Arc turned into the French national spirit.

Close-ups are used as a highly stylized overall element. In almost all of the pictures, Dreyer only focuses on the actor's face, keenly capturing the character's emotions, oppression, faith, martyrdom, religion, fear, conspiracy. Roger Ebert once commented that the camera hardly moves at all. The film also does not introduce the background, focusing only on the character itself, showing the scene of Joan of Arc being put on trial by the jury. Acutely capturing the emotions of the characters, oppression, faith, martyrdom, religion, fear, conspiracy, Maria Faoconetti's only representative work, her performance has been handed down to future generations and has become one of the most moving performances in film history. Roger Ebert once commented, "If you don't know her face, you don't know the history of silent film"
