The story of Joan of Arc as portrayed in "The Messenger" is highly uplifting and deeply moving despite some of the most akward scenes, and the many errors with the story. The way that Milla potrayed Joan was on my account moving to the point where it has pushed me in new heights with my beliefs about God and how I react on a whole. She showed a Joan of Arc that was a teen, a loyal follower of God, and a fighter till the end. She poytrayed a Joan that in my opinion is a role model in the fact that she practiced what she preached, followed her heart and faith until the very end of her life. The only part of the movie I really didn't like was the rape scene really made me sick. The fact that they put that in there and it didn't really happen was kinda disturbing. The movie in a whole is good, and is definatly rentworthy or a good purchase.
