Given the task definition, example input & output, solve the new input case.
In this task, you must classify if a given review is positive/negative, indicating your answer as P or N.
Example: plot : two teen couples go to a church party , drink and then drive .
they get into an accident .
one of the guys dies , but his girlfriend continues to see him in her life , and has nightmares .
what 's the deal ?
watch the movie and " sorta " find out . . .
critique : a mind - fuck movie for the teen generation that touches on a very cool idea , but presents it in a very bad package .
which is what makes this review an even harder one to write , since i generally applaud films which attempt to break the mold , mess with your head and such ( lost highway & memento ) , but there are good and bad ways of making all types of films , and these folks just did n't snag this one correctly
.
they seem to have taken this pretty neat concept , but executed it terribly .
so what are the problems with the movie ?
well , its main problem is that it 's simply too jumbled
.
it starts off " normal " but then downshifts into this " fantasy " world in which you , as an audience member ,
have no idea what 's going on
.
there are dreams , there are characters coming back from the dead , there are others who look like the dead , there are strange apparitions , there are disappearances , there are a looooot of chase scenes , there are tons of weird things that happen , and most of it is simply not explained .
now i personally do n't mind trying to unravel a film every now and then , but when all it does is give me the same clue over and over again , i get kind of fed up after a while , which is this film 's biggest problem .
it 's obviously got this big secret to hide , but it seems to want to hide it completely until its final five minutes .
and do they make things entertaining , thrilling or even engaging , in the meantime ?
not really .
the sad part is that the arrow and i both dig on flicks like this , so we actually figured most of it out by the half - way point , so all of the strangeness after that did start to make a little bit of sense , but it still did n't the make the film all that more entertaining .
i guess the bottom line with movies like this is that you should always make sure that the audience is " into it " even before they are given the secret password to enter your world of understanding .
i mean , showing melissa sagemiller running away from visions for about 20 minutes throughout the movie is just plain lazy ! !
okay , we get it .
. .
there are people chasing her and we do n't know who they are .
do we really need to see it over and over again ?
how about giving us different scenes offering further insight into all of the strangeness going down in the movie ?
apparently , the studio took this film away from its director and chopped it up themselves , and it shows .
there might 've been a pretty decent teen mind - fuck movie in here somewhere , but i guess " the suits " decided that turning it into a music video with little edge , would make more sense .
the actors are pretty good for the most part , although wes bentley just seemed to be playing the exact same character that he did in american beauty , only in a new neighborhood .
but my biggest kudos go out to sagemiller , who holds her own throughout the entire film , and actually has you feeling her character 's unraveling .
overall , the film does n't stick
because it does n't entertain , it 's confusing , it rarely excites and
it feels pretty redundant for most of its runtime , despite a pretty cool ending and explanation to all of the craziness that came before it .
oh ,
and by the way , this is not a horror or teen slasher flick . . .
it 's just packaged to look that way because someone is apparently assuming that the genre is still hot with the kids .
it also wrapped production two years ago and has been sitting on the shelves ever since .
whatever . .
. skip it !

The phrases used in the review convey a negative sentiment (e.g. "presents it in a very bad package").

New input case for you: an energetic , visually stunning , but intellectually hollow recreation of the mysterious life of jeanne d'arc .
in history jeanne d'arc is lost in an ocean of mystery and controversy , which creates the perfect launching pad for talented and creative directors , who can basically alter the story as they wish .
she came in a time where people desperately needed a saint .
a hero that could rescue them for misery and deliver peace and happiness .
director / writer luc besson ( ' nikita ' , ' leon ' ) portrays his version of the peasant girl who commanded the armies of france and was burned at the stake for witchcraft .
besson tries to recreate the person behind the legend .
he tries not to show her as a saint or a villain .
he shows her as a human being .
in a time where blood was almost pouring from the sky , and the air smelled of rotten flesh , it is hard to keep your sanity .
the only support and hope is in god .
at the age of 13 , jeanne ( milla jovovich ) watches her own sister murdered and raped by the english soldiers .
this terrible event makes a lasting impact on jeanne 's mind .
god is no longer her support .
he has become her obsession .
she starts seeing visions and signs that command her to raise an army and free france from the siege of the english tyranny .
with the help of the wise yolande d'aragon ( faye dunaway ) and charles vii ( john malcovich ) , whose grand royal ambitions and life are at stake , jeanne raises an army and marches towards the english walls .
after this the film stays mostly on the battlefield , where besson demonstrates his ability to direct amazing action sequences , only occasionally resorting to a calmer tempo .
the movie is filled with dreamy , symbolic images of pure artistic craftsmanship , that create a surreal and occasionally paranoiac atmosphere .
the film is lost in time and space , hysterically jumping back and forth in jeanne 's thoughts , imagination and conscience .
besson 's visual style permits the audience to enter the medieval age , feel the smell of fresh blood and the adrenaline pumping in your body in the heat of battle .
but the film is far from being flawless .
the script needs a lot of polishing .
except for jeanne , there are no real characters .
and although
a grand star cast is assembled , their characters are nothing more than props , not more alive than the costumes that they are wearing .
as for the maiden of lorraine herself , she is portrayed as a simple girl , too small for her divine task .
in the latter part of the film , we see her as hysterical , confused and on the brink of madness , with her past purity and innocence for ever lost .
jovovich handles the part with more panache than one might expect .
but though her screen time is incredible excessive , both malcovich ( ' being john malcovich ' ) and dunaway ( ' titus ' ) surpass her rather overacted and simply unprofessional performance . and even hoffman manages to breathe some life into his dreadfully small part .
besides casting jovovich , besson 's only mistake is his extreme sense of patriotism that in the end ruins his so gloriously crafted painting .
there are some viscously evil englishmen that murder , pillage and betray with a smile on their faces .
and some incredibly brave and noble frenchmen , represented by the " three musketeers " of this story -- the brave gilles de rais ( vincent cassel ) , the wise aulon ( desmond harrington ) and the strong la hire ( richard ridings ) .
though all those actor perform well , their characters are nothing more than symbols -- banners that proclaim the glory of france .
and thus , there is no sense of realism in this film . '
the messenger ' has muscles instead of brains .
there is some relief in the end , where besson lays down his armor and starts thinking .
dustin hoffman 's appearance helps and the film ends elegantly and surprisingly effective with a climax worthy of praise .
jeanne 's character is unlocked , but whether god was in the picture or not , is never quite explained .
was she a confused peasant girl driven by her own hunger for revenge ?
or was she truly a messenger of god ?
the film poses as many questions as answers and nothing is completely obvious .
bess o messenger ' is nothing more than a fairly good film .
it is not much that you remember of it after you leave the theater .
maybe the sound , the dreamy sequences , but certainly not the dialogue .
it is an elegant and adrenaline pumping history lesson for the mtv - generation , that although presents some interesting material , works better when it 's on the battlefield .
