Product: The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (Region 2) (1999)
Rating: 1.0
incredibly inauthenic movie of a great girl
i think the producer of this movie should convince some other sucker that it has some value-i am returning it. i think it takes a lot for me to have cognited a movie is so bad only a fool would make or watch. despite joan's life being well documented by official records it was conceived in the recesses of someone's mind-a fairy tale. for example her mother was not raped or murdered, joan was never near death from an arrow she took in the shoulder. yes she could not read or write but what she dictated was extremely ariculate for example the letter to the duke of bedford in the city of orleans. not what we got in the movie. joan to me was much more articulate than the writer in this movie. lastly, based upon the public records i have briefly read i surmise she was someone who could grin once in a while and a girl of good humor and respectful to the future king. not some wild eyed screaming fanatic portrayed. there should have been some atempt to account the life of such a great life.
