I watched this movie by clicking fast-forward, but even if I clicked fast-forward, I watched it for more than an hour. I guess it's not too fast forward.
Thinking about how ignorant I am of history, I always thought Joan of Arc was a fictional being. It turns out that she really existed in European history, which is really a thing that makes me very blush (ps I think this will happen more in the future).
In fact, after reading it, I feel that whether it is a perspective or a narrative method, I think it's pretty ordinary, but the only two things that I like are: 1. The meaning of God (at least I think it is God) in Joan of Arc's final life, I think this movie mentions a high. People, tracing back to the source, can't escape the happy thoughts after all, it's just that some people see it clearly and others can't open it up. 2. For the character of Joan of Arc, there is no certain identity, some exaggerated "magic power" imposed from a political or religious perspective. The director believes that she is a person after all, an ordinary person with thoughts and feelings, anger, fear, joy and repentance. However, a 19-year-old girl, who ended the 100-year war between Britain and France, was burned to death as a "heretic" and a "witch", which is unbearable.
However, I don't like it. In it, the anger of Joan of Arc's actor, or the performance when he thought it was a miracle, made me feel very strange, and I couldn't tell what I didn't like. That's why I keep fast-forwarding.
In general, just take a look. . .

    1. Joan of Arc was in an interesting historical period, less than 100 years before the Renaissance, no one questioned the authority of God, the Holy See was extremely powerful, and the monarchy was weakened by war. She had a direct dialogue with God, followed the prompts God gave her to command the war and win, and was respected by the men on the battlefield. It was only in that historical period that such a miracle could happen, she was born out of nowhere.
