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. . .

    ▤「Every event has an infinite number of causes, so why pick one rather than another? There are many ways a sword might find itself in a field. Yet from an infinite number of possibilites, u had to pick this one. You didn't t see what was, Jeanne. You saw what u wanted to see.”

    I don't understand that period of history, so I looked at it like this. Jeanne should be a goddess. She was almost self-blame for being burned to death at Caishikou. Aside from history, the movie is very good. Through two sudden leaps, it shows that a girl turns into a goddess, breaks away from the identity of goddess, and returns to the transformation process of ordinary people. All kinds of gorgeous scenes are overwhelming, but Joan of Arc is clearly outlined. .

  • 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!
