Product: The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (Region 2) (1999)
Rating: 5.0
the BEST movie I have ever seen
Everyone here either seems to love this movie or hate it. I fall into the former category. Sure, all the history may not be accurate, but Luc Besson wasn't going for a historically correct version, it's been done before and it's available in countless history books. His version of Jeanne is more fictitous than any others and he was aiming for something different. Milla Jovovich and Vincent Cassell (my favorite actress and favorite actor) were both incredibly awesome in this movie and give great performences. Milla played Jeanne just right as no one has ever imagined before (besides, no one knows what she was actually like, anyone who did is now dead). Another thing is the battle scenes. They are superb and give a good example of what the battles might have been like. So if you enjoy movies that move you (not caring if the history is right or not) this movie is for you. I absolutely love it.
