After watching this movie, I didn't think Joan of Arc was a saint. From my perspective, she's just a girl with strong beliefs. As a child, he witnessed the destruction of his home and the slaughter of his relatives. I think she is a girl who loves fantasy and has absolute faith in God. And what prompted her to summon the courage to lead the army against it was faith. In the movie, she does not have a strong military ability, she only relies on her passion and determination and inspiration for the soldiers. For France at that time, they were not that bad. They were defeated in battle after battle, and the soldiers lost confidence. At this time, a self-proclaimed messenger of God, Joan of Arc, inspired them to become their backbone. They thought that these powers came from God, from God's messengers. So they have a firm following on the scramble. She firmly believed that she was the messenger of God who took France back from England. And her bodyguard had a crush on Joan of Arc. When Joan of Arc got angry and cut her hair because the generals didn't listen to her, it was he who comforted him. It was he who woke her up when she had been dreaming. When His Holiness withdrew his army and everyone persuaded her to give up, he said, "Of course I believe in you." I think behind this sentence is that I love you. You are a saint, a messenger of God. And I can only help you. Joan of Arc was not a saint, but she was a national hero.
