posted. When I first saw the film, I thought it was a typical heroic film-depicting the story of a hero. This kind of film is difficult to get rid of the shadow of "Braveheart". 4. Just like "Braveheart", Joan of Arc witnessed the brutality of the British in her youth, the motherland was invaded, her relatives were killed, and she was fostered in the house of relatives (the country hates family feud). Interspersed with some more dreamlike scenes, according to the later account, Joan of Arc called it a "divine metaphor" (according to my understanding, God specifically asked her to talk to her, and I didn't understand her intention to tell her).
The adult Joan of Arc had a certain influence on the people (there is no way to find out how it came about), Joan of Arc came to the palace and asked to meet the French prince (not called the emperor before he ascended the throne, it seems that the tradition of France is not the same as that of our country. Different). At this time, a rather miraculous thing happened - Joan of Arc, who had never seen the prince (it is estimated that the French prince is not as well-known as our Chairman Mao and North Korea's Kim Sun) saw through the prince who was pretending to be the prince's deputy. , found the real prince in the crowd. After that, she described her strange past experiences to the prince, and then declared that she was the messenger of God (presumably the God of the French people), asking the prince to grant her troops, and she wanted to save France. In addition, the priests (a lot of monks!) have won the trust of everyone (the nobles in the court), and the most incredible thing is that the final process of gaining trust is that the professionals identify Joan of Arc as a virgin! !
Then came the more popular part of the film. Joan of Arc led the troops granted by the prince to support the besieged city. The commanders in the city were only interested in the troops and supplies brought by Joan of Arc (the same goes for me to defend the city). ), dismissing Joan of Arc's claims of God's will. Joan of Arc led the troops to a victory against all opinions and won the trust of some commanders (the so-called leading the troops is shouting in front of the battle, at least I think so)
PS. Let's go a little further and talk about the battle scene in "Joan of Arc". I am very interested in fighting in the cold weapon era. The best descriptions in the movie are "Braveheart", "Gladiator" and this one. The strength of Braveheart is that the scene is grand and highlights the medieval European warriors In the slashing situation, the broad-edged sword in Wallace's hand is impressive. In addition, "Yong" has a good explanation of the tactics of using long spears to restrain the charge of the heavy armored cavalry group; the gladiator's battle took place in Roman times, and it was regular and The one-way massacre of the well-trained Roman legions against the brave and fanatical barbarian tribes, in which the coordination of archers and infantry (evolving to the present is the coordination of infantry artillery), the tactics of cavalry and the tactics of Roman phalanx infantry are well described (failures appear) I don’t know where the javelin of the phalanx infantry went); on the other hand, “Joan of Arc”, this drama is remarkable in the description of the siege battle, especially the performance of the defender, it is very worthy of a cold weapon enthusiast. Look.
The book picks up the last time, and then talks about Joan of Arc. After Joan of Arc led the team to victory in the defense of Orleans, the prince of France succeeded to the throne. He then began to negotiate with the British and betrayed Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc began to lose on the battlefield, of course, and the king reduced her forces. Joan of Arc was captured and subjected to religious trial. This part takes up a lot of space in the movie, and I also think it is the climax of the whole play: during the trial, Joan of Arc kept seeing a middle-aged man in a black robe in his consciousness, and the black robe man in the constant dialogue It led Joan to understand that she believed that those "wills of God" came from her heart, and also indirectly exposed the lies of the "Saint" and tore off Joan's sacred coat. In the end, Joan of Arc was sentenced to be burned at the stake. The kind-hearted bishop tried to save her, but finally gave up her efforts under the pressure of the British. In the end of the film, Joan of Arc was buried in the raging fire. The power of all religions and beliefs finally cannot overcome politics and the will of the state. God cannot bring victory. Victory belongs to sufficient resources, a strong army and reasonable tactics. God can only guide victory, as Joan of Arc experienced at the beginning. , there is no difference between chanting the name of God and chanting communism on the road to victory, but which one can attract more people to enrich their own strength is different.
The overall feeling is that this is a psychological analysis film with sophisticated suspense and repeated suspense. The heroic feats in the front are all smoke, and after the disappearance of smoke, what is left is a naked incompetent God. I glanced at the dissatisfaction accumulated in the previous part, and I felt bad for the director. means awe. good movie! good movie! !
After writing so much, I suddenly thought of two people. Wang Xiaobo and Bruno Xiaobo
said in their article that there are two types of people, outlaws and stupid X. Many people want to be outlaws but finally set up a stupid X. This is a sad thing.
Both Joan of Arc and Bruno were burned to death by the Inquisition. They both wanted to be outlaws at the beginning. The former was for the country and the latter was for wisdom. Unfortunately, the ending was different: Joan of Arc believed in God, and finally found that God could not come. The power of the world finds himself a fool at his last moment, which is a sad thing; Bruno believes in wisdom and has the heart of the world. Disciple, rejoice, rejoice
