hey silly girl

【You have to love your enemy. 】
【I can't do it. 】
The girl Joan of Arc answered, her eyes filled with hatred.
So hatred strengthens faith.

An ordinary peasant girl, preaching the will of God, meeting the king of France, gaining troops and victories.
Somewhat incredible.
However, France at this time needed a faith, and Joan of Arc came, took her faith, and became the flag of France.

Joan of Arc, in whom I saw purity, firmness, faith, and madness.

【What are you doing? Joan of Arc. 】
【I am playing. 】
This is the sentence that confuses me the most, vaguely understandable and difficult to express.

Joan of Arc on the battlefield was determined and crazy.
However, she disregarded the life and death of the soldiers and disdain for the so-called tactics. Crazy and stupid.

【Is this not what you want? Now you get it. 】
On the battlefield, there are corpses everywhere, and crows peck at the carrion. Is this what she wants?
Do not.

[War], [Coronation].
How gorgeous and solemn is shocking, but the latter is somewhat comical and ironic. Such as refilling the costumes and holy oil.

After Joan of Arc was captured, the King did not redeem her.
Because she is no longer needed.
very cruel.
Hey, silly girl, still waiting for her king to save her.

[Sentence comes after the trial is over, not at the outset. 】 So said the old priest.

Joan of Arc is crazy, but she represents the good, and she longs for peace. So a group of people who listen to good or struggle on the edge of good and evil, such as the bishop, he wants to save her, but there is nothing he can do.
In the end, Joan was still executed.

In fact, what I want to say most is the old man in black, kind and calm, like a judge.
God? Or Satan?

I think it's the former.
Joan of Arc finally got redemption, didn't it?

【Oh, God! I only see the miracles I want to see, the war is out of revenge, despair...to make the people famous; so I am proud, stubborn, selfish...]
[And cruel...]

​​Generous The palm of the hand gently covered the top of Jeanne's head.
[You will be redeemed. ]

Revenge, despair, pride, stubbornness, selfishness.
Faith, madness, pride, firmness, kindness.
Besson gave us an interpretation of human nature, the real Joan of Arc.

By the way: I liked that "Final Confession" the most.

    A screaming mad woman. The director dares to take off the religious halo and make Joan of Arc more like a person! PS: A lot of the shots look like horror movies, it's really dull and weird.

    As the subtitle says, Joan of Arc here is no longer a French hero, she is a messenger of God. Most people will classify Joan of Arc as a madman and a lunatic, but this just shows that the concept of faith does not exist in most people's hearts, even if some of them even say the name of God every day. Joan of Arc deduces piety to the extreme, even if you are an atheist, you will not forget her firm belief

The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc quotes

  • 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.

  • [At Joan's insistence, a letter is fired by arrow over the British walls]

    Joan of Arc: [voice-over] This is the third and last time I will write to you... If you are still here at noon, I warn you that you will hear from me to your very great destruction. Please give me your answer speedily.

    Redbeard: [yells from the tower] Go fuck yourseves!

    Joan of Arc: What did he say?

    Aulon: He said he'd think about it.
