Theism? Freud said?

First of all, I think the ugly view of the first half of the group's ridicule is untenable. How could a village woman who was born in the countryside without any higher education show the military and strategic mind of a battle-hardened general in the war? Of course, I followed the miracles and went to the battlefield with ardent blood. Why did Joan of Arc only have the roars and whines of the brain in the first half? This is the most real restoration. You can say that this part is the guidance of miracles, or that Joan of Arc relied on the self perseverance of vengeance and the high spiritual guidance to improve the morale of the French soldiers. After all, if the story of Joan of Arc leaves aside the divinity, luck accounts for most of it. As for the second half, I think the creation of Satan's incarnation is that after Joan of Arc was captured in Burgundy, there was a strong conflict between her will and reality. controlled by Jeanne. This part can be seen as Joan of Arc's consciousness that divinity has abandoned her, and it can also be seen as Joan of Arc's repentance for killing in the name of God before. Both theism and Freud can explain Luc Besson's story, it just depends on how you want to frame this cinematic interpretation. Summary: Five-star good film, worth pondering.

    A screaming mad woman. The director dares to take off the religious halo and make Joan of Arc more like a person! PS: A lot of the shots look like horror movies, it's really dull and weird.

    As the subtitle says, Joan of Arc here is no longer a French hero, she is a messenger of God. Most people will classify Joan of Arc as a madman and a lunatic, but this just shows that the concept of faith does not exist in most people's hearts, even if some of them even say the name of God every day. Joan of Arc deduces piety to the extreme, even if you are an atheist, you will not forget her firm belief

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!
