Missed the Boat
This movie is a WASTE of your time money mind and morals.If Mr Besson doesn't believe in GOD and therefore wanted to know why a young peasant girl would take up arms against the British than he would have to deal with FACTS: The part of France Joan was born in was NEVER attacked by the English but by the French Burgundians allied with them; her village was NEVER attacked by anybody and none of her sisters were murdered and raped (according to this flick in that order) so Mr Besson is not trying to figure out Joan but to trot out a sex and sleeze flick.And by the by the Catholic Church burned no body: according to the law at that time they could CONDEMN but they had to have the SECULAR arm do that. Nice if the audience were a little better informed that the makers of this shlock.
