Rating: 4.0
ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING
As being part French myself I take my history very seriously. So when I first saw The Messenger, I was completly amazed. The movie left me in a speechless. The writing was remarkable and the actors played the parts very well! It is hard to play an historical figure and not offend anyone while playing the part well, and Milla Jovovich pulled it off in flying colors. She played Jehanne so well it is hard to think of Jehanne as anyone eles but Milla! John Malkovich was remarkable and Faye Dunaway is amazing. I really feel in love with Dustin Hoffman's proformance, but it was not long enough in my opinion. The movie was portrayed well and throughly. But the only reason I gave it four stars was cuz the didn't really tell if Jehanne was pyschotic or a saint, maybe she was both. But us French thank her for setting us free, and I thank Luc Besson for making such a touching movie
