Although I took a small nap due to the lack of food, it still did not affect the delicateness of the film. Unlike the heroic spirit that we are accustomed to in the face of the great powers, Joan of Arc's performance is more real and closer to human nature. "I lied, because I was afraid of being burned at the stake." Tears flowed almost from beginning to end, including fear, grievance, persistence, and the struggle between belief and pain. As a silent film, the expressions and expressions of each character are extremely strong.

On the other hand, the so-called authorities, those who have different ideas from their own, use force to suppress them, which has never changed since ancient times. The better ones will give you a false accusation to make things look less ugly, and it's just for the sake of profit.

"What is your faith through" "Through sacrifice" "How to sacrifice" "My life"

But in the end, it actually felt a little sad for Joan of Arc. The masses, touched by her sacrifice, began to rebel. I thought that resistance should not be based on someone's sacrifice. If you wake up early, you will not let others lose their lives for everyone's happiness. However, it is inevitable that we have to admit that the public is indeed stupid and timid, accustomed to following group behavior, and sometimes they themselves are like this, and they are not very qualified to criticize others. Thinking about it this way, the so-called heroes can definitely be called everyone's support and memory.

Finally, the enhanced performance and close-up of the entire face is really special. good job.
