A big brother's legend

In countless Western books discussing Joan of Arc, a question that has been unclear is why the prince at that time was willing to use Joan of Arc. In fact, these serious scholars only need to read the history of the Boxer Regiment to understand how a group of mad senior brothers fooled the Empress Dowager Cixi and finally brought disaster to the country and the people and self-destruction history.
Of course, those big brothers faced far more advanced Westerners. But if they face a less advanced adversary, or even have a certain technological advantage, such as Hitler, then some miracles may be accomplished.
Basically, Luc Besson told such a story. Of course, what he said was more cynical. For example, the mother-in-law of the crown prince obviously expected such a schizophrenia from the beginning; the crown prince himself, except when he was most desperate, did not expect much from the prophet.
Dear students who believe in religion, don't be misled by the previous film reviews. Luc Besson is not a Christian, so don't watch his films as those promoting Christianity.

    Milla Jovovich's acting is really bad, it's an insult to Joan of Arc, I suggest watching Dreyer or Bresson's version....

    Three and a half. In the past, every time I watched it on TV, I thought it was very classic (the reason for the color setting). Today I revisited it and felt that it was really high-quality yellow. It is much stronger than the golden color of "Sea Shepherd Clouds". The flowing beauty reminds me of the "golden" Jialan", I think Luc Besson is a very forward-looking director. A lot of his handling is not tacky, so I will never say "Well, this is a movie in the XX era" in the future, except In addition to the performance awards, she also received a full range of preferential treatment that year. Although Fei Tangnawei played a few roles but performed well, it is a pity that the other roles in it are all to highlight how saintly saints are, and they are slightly thin.

The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc quotes

  • Joan of Arc: I don't think. I leave that to God. I'm nothing in all this, I'm just the Messenger.

  • Joan of Arc: How dare you stop me from doing God's will?

    Aulon: He didn't tell you to cut all your hair.

    Joan of Arc: How dare you tell me what God tells me to do?

    Aulon: Whatever, but since he's not going to come down and do it himself - I mean - at least let someone cut it properly!
