This is a film made completely in accordance with the director's personal understanding, which can only deceive audiences who don't know this history. First of all, it is not certain whether Joan of Arc in history is a rural girl with no foundation at all. The only thing that can be determined is that she is illiterate. His father is not only a grassroots tax collector, but also a A tax official with whom the Lin Nobility had a good relationship, and even after the rise of Joan, his father also had correspondence with the royal family, including a Charlie’s messenger along the way from Wokuler to Chinon, that is to say, Zhen The German family may have been in contact with the crown prince through the matchmaking of the local patriotic nobles in Lorraine. In addition, Don Remy is a place often invaded by Burgundy and British. There is spontaneous resistance in the local area. Jeanne is able to swordsmanship. , It’s not surprising that he even knows the art of war. There are so many experts in the world (there is also the story of Joan of Arc butchering wolves and sharing meat for the poor in French history), such as Zorro, who learned his swordsmanship from Woolen cloth? Let’s talk about appearance. In the "Legend of Joan of Arc" by the medieval female writer Christina Pissan, the contemporaries described Joan as decent and elegant, without any vulgarity at all. Note that she had a relationship with Joan herself. Because of this, some people now boldly speculate that the lineage of Joan of Arc may not be as simple as people think, and Joan is not only the spiritual leader of the French army, or just a symbol, in the battle of fame in the rescue of Orleans. After that, there were the Battle of Jarjo, the Battle of Moen, the Battle of Beaugency, the Battle of Patti, etc., especially the Battle of Patti. Joan of Arc’s cavalry defeated the main force of the British army with almost "zero loss", a clever raid. Reappearing the glory of the early French cavalry, Joan is of course a military strategist, and a cool-headed, wise, and courageous commander. After the miracle of Orleans, she resisted all the arguments, stayed near and far, and rushed to Reims for a long distance regardless of the tension of the grain and grass. Unexpectedly, she liberated Troyes who signed the Treaty of Disgrace "Troyes" (it was here that the troops were supplied with supplies), it was her! Let France completely take the initiative in politics and military, let the soldiers unite and be convinced. If someone wants to write a musical epic about Joan of Arc, it will definitely be like the "Long March Song", and there will also be such a beautiful talk of "Jan of Arc's use of soldiers is like a god." So her success was not lucky at all! Of course, if all of this is filmed, one movie is not enough, it should be a TV series. Therefore, most of the movies are simplified by deleting the complex, ignoring the complexity of the historical process, and Luc Besson is no exception. But his choices with ulterior motives are inclined to an opportunist attitude. For example, how Joan of Arc obtained the "Sword of St. Catherine", there are two kinds of views in history. One is just like in the movie and picked it up. The other is after Joan of Arc entered the cabinet. She told Charlie that St. Catherine’s Church had a sword. Luc Besson chose the first one, including the latter. The choice of this historical material is biased, just like Joan of Arc’s military talent was highly praised by Napoleon, especially the good use of artillery, which was appreciated by Napoleon, but at that time someone said that Napoleon was just using Joan to reconcile Tensions with the Holy See. So if you want to understand a true Joan of Arc in history, you need all kinds of comparative reading, audio-visual. Either you watch a diverse movie like Yak Levitt, or you just read a book directly, and then you have to look at your standpoint. Generally, the documentary films made by British guys are black. If you are the one that does not pursue tension and excitement, For audiences whose purpose is to look good or not to look good, you should never choose to watch this one. It will lead you to the ditch, especially the scene where Jesus is covered with blood in the movie. Burning to death, but Luc Besson will be burned to death, and the most indecent and lack of real care in this film is that it does not show Joan of Arc’s benevolent heart, the heart of innocence, such as prohibiting the French army from abusing British prisoners of war. The enemy confessed. Being sympathetic to the common people, calmly analyzing the situation of the war, and finally using his own wisdom to lead the war to a torrent of great national liberation, the meaning of the French awakening from then on, that is, the national awakening at the humanist level, the Canadian version has done a good job. Luc Besson is only entangled in whether miracles exist or not, and then some passages are almost nihilistic. This is a manifestation of low style. In addition to the compact plot and eye-catching, there is actually no pursuit in art, and there is no epic in history. Joan is a very smart girl. She communicates well with generals, the royal family, and the people at the bottom. She is best at observation and communication. Although she can't write, her oral English prose is clear and powerful. , Is by no means a silly girl who is dumbfounded, Luc Besson actually photographed Joan like this! It's an insult to the country! This reminds me of what happened to Michael Jackson. He obviously only likes children, and when they are called home to play, they are said to be "child prostitution." The truth is not revealed until after death, and the understanding of Joan of Arc can be different. , But Joan’s character of kindness and righteousness is also worthy of a special book. It conforms to our traditional Chinese ethics. It does not violate materialism and expresses the beauty of human nature. It is not to make this girl yell and scare him, no Confidence, speculation, these, showing a person’s firmness and patriotic self-confidence, compassion, kindness is also human nature, for example, when Joan was a child, she was very willing to help the poor, sometimes even letting out her bed, sleeping on the grass, etc., look good. Look at her as a person, what did she do! The love of the French people for Joan is not only the divinity in her body, which is why even the giants of the Enlightenment era, the Pope, the king, and Voltaire, who wanted to get rid of religious ignorance, commented on Joan very positively... …Luc Besson tried to restore Joan to an ordinary person. This idea is correct, but even if it is an ordinary person, Joan is an excellent, extraordinary ordinary person. Luc Besson obviously did not understand her excellence. You can’t say me. Just shoot a fool, and then you defend the spirit of materialism? It’s ridiculous that although Joan is not old, she was 17 when she left her hometown. It was also when the angels talked to her when she was 13 years old. The Chinese said that “a hero has grown up since ancient times,” a hero like Joan. There are many in history, neither crazy nor stupid. Huo Qubing is a 17-year-old god of war, Hu Ganluo is 12 years old and worships Shangqing, Cao Chong can be called an elephant when he is 9 years old. Surreal existence, so why these allusions and similar deeds when they arrive in France and are placed on a 17-year-old girl in the Middle Ages, I have to doubt, belittle, and even portray this girl into a mad woman like Luc Besson did, and finally There must be a "self-redemption" scene. Fortunately, Joan of Arc is not there anymore. If she is, she will scream! I don't think so at all!
In addition, the portrayal of Charles VII in this film also has the face of speculators. In fact, in history, Joan of Arc was captured, and it is possible that the King of Arc was killed and profited. On the one hand, in Compiègne, Joan took the initiative. Those who demanded the break (character reasons, likes to take risks), on the other hand, the conspiracy between the capitulation aristocrats and church members who were hostile to Joan of Arc. After De was captured, although the King of France wrote a strongly worded letter to Burgundy, demanding that Joan of Arc be released, he did not actively rescue him. You must know that the British Marshal Tubot had been captured by the army of Joan at that time, and the King could exchange it. The hostage method exchanged people back, but under the instigation of the capitulation faction (the so-called "Jan of Arc"), he was shamelessly silent. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that he is weak. This person sometimes does nothing different from Zhao Gou. In the past, Yue Fei was urgently recalled in Zhuxian Town, and when he met Charlie, he took it off and cut off Joan's supply and asked her to raise her own food. Almost, Paris also has the "Twelve Gold Medals"... Third, after the death of Joan, the French King used Joan's death to inspire uprisings in the occupied areas. He unified France in 7 years and ended the Hundred Years War (this is better than Zhao Gou. Strong), this shows that actually the British killed Joan of Arc is a stupid act, and it was Charlie who had the last laugh! This person is not like the pleasure-seeking depicted in the movie. He is a complicated historical figure like Joan of Arc. Using their stories to compare the relationship between Yue Fei and Zhao Gou, I think it can help us Chinese understand the situation of Joan of Arc, and In Charles's situation, the king was not good enough. The indignant Marshal Bussac finally sacked Compiègne in order to rescue Joan of Arc. For this reason, he owed a lot of money. It was Charles VII who helped him pay off the debt. After the death of Joan, many generals who supported Joan were deeply involved in court struggles. Among those who died unjustly was the Duke of Dinoit who firmly supported Joan. It is true that Charlie and Joan do have political differences, especially after the coronation ceremony, Joan once requested to return home to live a peaceful life, but Charlie refused because the generals had trusted her, she had become a symbol of the country, and she was not there. , His throne is unstable. Therefore, it is not Joan who does not know how to advance and retreat. It is Charles VII who keeps Joan. This is the same year that the Canadian version of "Joan of Arc" is more in line with history. In the Canadian version, even if Joan asked Charlie face to face, the atmosphere When he was nervous, Charlie did not blame Joan. Later, when Joan was about to set off again, Charlie was kind enough to persuade him not to fight. Let's live a peaceful life. In this period of history, Charlie is actually preparing to canonize Joan as a Countess. Give her territory and seize her military power in a disguised form, but Joan of Arc and Yue Fei’s choice is the same. He refuses for the sake of ideals. She said: "I don't want anything except a free France!" This made the surrenderers terrified. Even after returning to her hometown, Joan still had the community in her heart. She knew clearly that it was impossible to promote peace by war. The facts are also true. This section is surprisingly similar to the story of Yue Fei. The one next to Charlie is called George. The one next to Zhao Gou is called Qin Hui
As a normal person, our audience must have the most basic common sense judgment. According to Luc Besson's interpretation, the "history" he said is not valid at all, and Joan of Arc will not be left in history. The true Joan of Arc in history can only be a calm, sensible, extremely persuasive, eloquent person, and very good at being a person. Although she is illiterate, she has no teacher, noble conduct, and her religious attitude. Piety is admirable, not fanatical. Only in this way, those generals who possess these qualities will be happy and sincere, and Charles VII will dare to continue to use her after the miracle of Orleans, otherwise everyone will be crazy, how could France be? Finally won the Hundred Years' War? ! Have you gotten lucky every time? ! There is a big gap between this film and history. It’s a self-explanatory film made by the director of the film, especially the large-length psychological description is unfounded. I gave 2 stars only for the scheduling of the scenes, and the rhythm is still good, without these. This movie is basically a bad movie. Historically, it was not that Joan “figured it out” and then signed the verdict, but the British took advantage of Joan’s illiteracy and replaced it with another one when she signed it. The true verdict (disclaimer) that I have never read! Then he said "Jan of Arc admits to being a witch" and burned her to death! The insidiousness of the British is also reflected in the intimidation of the clergy and the imprisonment of Joan of Arc in ordinary prisons, putting her in danger of being raped.
Many high-scoring comments are all talking from the perspective of psychoanalysis, following the ideas of Luc Besson, as if they have gained something from watching movies, and they have realized the meaning of confession, and the anatomy of human nature. But, have you ever thought about it? ? The same narrative is still valid for another person. Luc Besson can rewrite the script and make a story, but he just wants to apply the story of Joan of Arc, which means that the story itself is only in the form of the story of Joan of Arc, and its soul is Another story, this "other story" can still lead to those who give four stars, five stars are exactly the same, talk about "human nature", this kind of universal template without historical sense, at least for an audience like me It is worthless, maybe everyone has a Joan in his heart, Luc Besson’s Joan is just not the Joan in my heart, but isn’t it the Joan in the hearts of those who score high? I don’t think so, as a world-renowned director, especially for being able to produce such a good reputation as "This Killer Is Not So Cold", many people do not seem to care about the credibility of history in front of this "Joan of Arc". Degree, and the existence of another rational and wise Joan, and that Joan may not be consistent with your selfishness towards her, like to exaggerate, and sometimes fear, etc. You are actually anticipating yourself. You don’t believe that Joan is a noble and fearless person, because you are not, not Joan. Luc Besson doesn’t want to honestly take a picture of a patriotic warrior with great sentiments, and then you will fall into his plan. Following his analysis of the weakness of human nature, she is just like us. This boringness seems to me to be one of the reasons for the degeneration of mankind. Excuse me, why should she be like you? If you have no faith, if you are atheistic, she will be like you? Or that she is in your expectation, she should deny herself until she meets you? After she satisfied you, is she still Joan of Arc? Unbearable pseudo-art! The essence of Joan's story is that your focus is to see her "fighting for the country" or "fighting for the gods". For someone who is not kind, his foothold will always be "fighting for the gods", just like killing Zhen. The hypocrites of Germany (Luc Besson also has this perspective, many of us thought there was a breakthrough in the intention), are they always entangled in the existence of gods or gods, why does God help France, Michael’s hairstyle, and whether St. Catherine wears Wear clothes... are these topics? ! Well, you are now a little more elegant than the Englishman back then. You think about the various possibilities of enlightenment, the possibility of swords, and does Joan doubt himself... You call this materialism? And what I saw was just a very simple patriotism, love for the family, the purpose of driving away the invaders, the courage and decisiveness of a rural girl, for the survival of the present. Fighting "French Yue Fei"! Even so, I don't say that I am more materialistic than you, because it is too low and simple, just to defend the home and the country, isn't it powerful enough! Luc Besson wanted to break through the basic personality of his predecessors, and he had a good idea. But I didn’t deal with it properly. In the end, a moth came out, and a split personality was created, which nervously arranged for Joan’s sister to be raped. This is especially disgusting.
