Religious themes are hard to photograph

Yesterday, I watched Luc Besson's Joan of Arc. The first half of the story was full of strong aura of the gods, filled with a sense of mystery of divine revelation, and at the same time made people worry about Joan of Arc's personal destiny.

In China's film review, it is often impossible to make ghosts, and it is not a big problem to make demons. I am also for the establishment of materialism, so it must be fake enough. There are a lot of Western fantasy themes every year, few religious themes, and often accompanied by controversy, such as Mel Jebson's Passion.

The reason for watching this movie is to put it bluntly and it is interesting, because I am a fan of fate, and the fate grand order is very popular recently, so I plan to watch the movies of Joan of Arc and Alexander.

The creation of a sense of mystery and sanctity in the Joan of Arc movie at the beginning makes people feel that it is a movie dedicated to faith and to God, but the slightly overdone form of expression vaguely implies a reversal.

Sure enough, after the arrest of Joan of Arc and the appearance of Dustin Dorfman, the direction of the film changed and began to lash out at Joan of Arc and everyone else. This is a way to restore Joan of Arc from being fascinated by people. Everyone, including Joan of Arc, even no one has true beliefs, and they are all using the name of God. It is indeed difficult to judge whether the director's intention is to overthrow the hypocritical and ungodly beliefs, or to deny the existence of all revelation of God and even the existence of God. But at least, give believers and unbelievers their own space. In any case, Joan of Arc becomes a mortal, even a mentally ill person, even if she is suspected of admitting her mistake in the end, and she is suspected of establishing a true belief, full of uncertain expressions and a large-scale dialogue between Dustin Dorfman and Joan of Arc, Makes this movie the best Joan of Arc movie, if not the best Joan of Arc movie.

    Maybe it's because of the Chinese dubbing, it feels average, maybe it's much better to watch the original version. . . An imaginary girl may be diagnosed with paranoia today, but it also proves how powerful the spirit is, and it is still a story worthy of praise

    When faith and schizophrenia are linked together, it must be more attractive than the historical background.
