If it weren't for the fact that the French teacher who opened 2 foreigners mentioned this film, I really wouldn't watch it.

I remember when I watched it for the first time, I thought this movie was boring, but it was just a movie about a woman fighting a war

It's almost boring like Mulan

After reading this completely, I will understand that such a legendary woman in French history is such a legendary woman.

She said she was a messager appointed by God She went to war in God's name and obeyed God's instructions

When she was about to win the battle of Orleans, she really realized that the victory of the war was not what she wanted

She may have realized she was wrong when she saw her body covered in war blood, but she didn't want to admit it

Just like the vision that doesn't know if it's God or Satan said

She just believes what she believes and sees what she wants to see

In fact, I think she is like a delusional patient fantasizing about such a divine existence

Give her a firm belief + the environment at that time + luck she won the war

She is more convinced that what she thinks is true and not subjective

She's listening to her heart in another way

To be honest, I really envy her for that.

For hatred or for the freedom of the country or for your own safety

She's just an ordinary person, not a god after all

She also feels lonely and helpless

She's just fantasizing about a character guiding her and there's nothing wrong with that

She even imagined another character to point out her mistakes, though she vehemently denied it, but things never stood up to scrutiny

You can't look at him objectively

Just as this happened to you, can you be sure that there is no selfishness in it?

When I think about it, I feel that the world is so contradictory that there is no absolute right or wrong.

It's just in your own heart that you think it's right, you can't control what other people think.

The sentence she said in the play "soon is better than late" made a deep impression on me

That's what she said most of her impassioned preparations for war

I think I should learn from her I always procrastinate and feel that nothing matters...

Yes, it's all because I don't have a goal for me to strive for

Do I have no goals to achieve? Do I have no dreams?

No, that's not the case, it's just that I haven't been making progress right now....

    As the mysterious Hoffman said, the role of the messenger is completely out of Joan of Arc's imagination. She is a real revenge in the guise of God, but people can't forget the fighting spirit that she aroused, the hope that she aroused, she is not a messenger , she is the incarnation of God, even if she is like a reckless man on the battlefield, the blood is not what she wants, the war is not because of her, she is just a frightened girl.

    She is full of love for God. She has experienced an unforgettable change. With unparalleled passion, she has awakened the fighting spirit of the French people against the British army. Therefore, she is still Joan of Arc. When she was about to die, her body was distorted by the torment of fire, but her soul was extremely strong, and she saw the light of God in her eyes.

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!
