Product: The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (Region 2) (1999)
Rating: 1.0
Only movie I gave up on!
Having been interested in the story of Joan Of Arc since grade school,I thought I'd give this DVD a try.Good thing I rented it.. I thought the acting,etc, was okay,but the movie totally lost me when,shortly before a siege is to take place,the French ask the English to surrender. Their reply is for the French to quote"Go F**K Yourselves!",Shortly after the siege takes place,there is an endless round of "F" words.I'm sorry.I'm no scholar,but I don't think that,in 1420,that F word was even invented much less used in such a casual manner.. If you make a movie based on history,then keep it in a historical context.(Same problem I had with some of "Titanic"'s language). I do not recommend this movie to anyone.
