Product: The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (Region 2) (1999)
Rating: 3.0
Non Historical Joan of Arc
Having done extensive research and study into Joan of Arc, this film is loaded with historical flaws. It appears to be the Director's personal fantasy of Joan. He portrays her as "wacked out" or a "mental case". He introduces a murder/rape which never happened as a motivator for Joan. He also plays "Hollywood" with many other non-facts. They could have produced a film, following the actual facts, which would have amazed audiences.I have it as a part of my collection to use for comparisons. If you just watch it for visuals and entertainment, it is fine.
