History taken differently

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 1999)

At first take Carl Theodor Dreyers movie "La passion de Jeanne d'Arc" (1928). Then take "La Reine Margot". Put both by the side of "Elizabeth". They all in spite of different origin talk about heroines in the same excellent (or maybe just the only right) way. "Elizabeth" especially. We cut down the richness of styling and we have a pleasure to peek into the big dilemma of women in the mens world. We can understand the difference between the human being as a public figure (a symbol of divinity) and human being as a person. There is no room for love, personal wishes, anxiety when one is responsible for so many huge goals.
