My thoughts on this film

Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2003)

I had never watched a silent movie before today but when I saw this movie listed on cable and saw how old it was, I just had to check it out. I was not disappointed. This film had me hooked. It really showed the ordeal Joan must have gone through and also showed how, in all likelihood, no matter what she said, she was not going to be found innocent. Without one word, and only music in the background, this movie conveyed more feelings than alot of regular movies I have seen. I would recommend this film to anyone who wishes to understand her life, her faith and her amazing courage in the face of such adversity and the obvious hopelessness of her being found innocent. I would definitely watch this again, and again.
