The pain of looking straight

The lens expression in this form of this film is often full of divergences. Most of the audience will be submerged in the dense and heavy moving close-ups, and it is difficult to find the actual content in the continuous dialogue. If the confrontation is handed over to a Hollywood police and bandit director, it will definitely be handled as a tight-paced questioning, and it will also make the audience climax. Anger, from which we cannot escape, is forced to look directly at the inner struggle of a saint, her suffering, her destruction. Such extreme handling methods will always resonate with some audiences. Such audiences need to be sensitive to facial emotions, have a certain degree of understanding of this history, and of course, the most important thing is to be concerned about the thoughts of Saint Joan of Arc. Along with the judge's shameful questions, the audience also asked in their hearts: Jeanne, are your paths and beliefs correct, and are your persistence and self-destruction worthwhile?

    Great work! ! ! From Dreyer's hand, even the word "great" is not enough to praise it completely. Each actor's portrayal is unique and impressive, pure and profound interpretation, screenwriter, actor, camera, everything. This is a great interpretation that only belongs to the silent film era! ! !

This film is the master of this internationalization.
