Product: The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (Region 2) (1999)
Rating: 1.0
I'd rather see the Swanson version
THis movie was an insulting depiction of the visions of St. Joan of Arc. Looking through the eyes of a twentieth century thinker...the writer and director decided to throw out the idea of Joan and her divine visions and imply the idea that she was mad. The movie takes the Character of a powerful woman who entered a man's world and controled it with grace and strength...and turns her into a childish mad woman who seem to deserve her fate. NO, if you want to learn the Joan of Arc story then read a book. If you want to see a dramatic version of the story...rent the blackand white, or even better rent the Gloria Swanson silent film
