      Model and alienation

      Both Brecht and Bresson were enemies of "illusionism". Brecht wanted the actor to "report" to the character, not to be the character. Emphasizes that actors do not have to conceal the "he does, he says" nature in their performances. "The effect of alienation" is the core of Brecht's dramatic theory. Brecht believes that it can completely replace emotional resonance as the foundation of artistic enjoyment: "If the method of intoxication is abandoned, what other method can be...

      How did he do that

      How did he do it? ! The film conveys a very complex emotion. The entire movie is said from the beginning to be based on preserved court records. The scene is simple, but there is extremely complex information. When the clergy who sympathized with her persuaded her, she thought of the firmness of the faith. Even the clergy can lead you to betray your beliefs... She fears the stake, she rejects women's clothing. What Bresson portrays in the film is not Joan of Arc but a more general human emotion...

      The Form of Tragedy——The Turn of Bresson's Thought

      The rigid picture of Joan of Arc's trial may explain one thing, that is: human tragedies often befall people in banal ways. There is no drama, no accusation or justification. Some are just dull and silent. In fact, this is the theme of Bresson's middle and late works - judgment and loneliness. Neither Lancelot nor Muchet or the donkey could escape such an ending. The hopelessness of survival is no longer the new life or liberation that pickpockets and death row prisoners encounter. There is no...

      Burden and grace

      Zhuangzi once said in "Journey to the North": "There is great beauty in heaven and earth without talking about it, there are clear laws in the four seasons without discussing them, and everything has a rationale without talking about it". It seems that in the later fables, there are two masters who have attained the Tao. , and I don't really believe in such a story according to a possible superficial view of Zhuangzi now, because I have always had a very strange notion that Zhuangzi's study...

      Consider the notes about magnetic noise in the film

      Bazin once wrote a long article devoted to the sound and image in Bresson's films, but he still couldn't enjoy it after reading it. The film itself is also a way to explore the truth. Just like novels and poetry, he is only the original sound and image of human beings. The two most basic elements, which have become increasingly shabby as the times progress and change, being able to balance the best mix of images and sounds in a movie may be the hardest for any director to do. .

      The 8.2 Bresson version is really clean and neat. Thanks to his minimalism, this version is a strong version of Joan of Arc. There are only a few tears in the picture. When she was not seen after the burning, Bresson was telling us that the heroine Joan of Arc was welcomed to heaven by an...

      Almost every scene is a question-and-answer session in courtrooms, prison cells, and execution grounds. Joan of Arc's sin was that she heard the voice of the Lord and obeyed the Lord (like Socrates) and was condemned by the church as an unbeliever heresy and finally died at the stake. Putting the viewer in the position of a bystander, Bresson records the trial of Joan of Arc in a neutral and dispassionate...

      This film only focuses on the process of Joan of Arc's final trial and execution at the stake based on historical records. When major directors such as Bresson carry out their art to the end, they will torture the ultimate meaning of life, including religious beliefs and principles of life and death, just like the old tower , Bergman, Fellini, Antonioni, Akira Kurosawa. We have no way of verifying the truth, and the truth is meaningless, but witnessing the truth itself becomes very meaningful....

    Movie plot

    Cardinal Cochon and the Inquisitors engaged in a lengthy and heated debate with Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc insisted that he was guided by God to fight the French army, cleverly dealt with the difficulties of the jury, and cross-examined. The Inquisitors have filthy framed Joan of Arc out of fear and helplessness. They spied on Joan of Arc and ordered her to change into women's clothes in an attempt to break the sanctity of her soul by...

    "The Judgment of Joan of Arc" concentrates on the historical episodes of Joan of Arc's upright and unyielding confrontation with the enemy, and compresses the plot time into one day. The whole film is built on Joan of Arc's mentality in prison and his response to endless questioning in court   .
    The film presents a simple style, and the injustice of Joan of Arc is very simple and clear through Robert Bresson's rich film language....
