	Joan Of Arc
		Joan of Arc was a name that was meant to be forgotten and wiped from existence, yet like her heart which did not burn in the fire, her memory has withstood the tests of time and she is respected today as one of the most amazing human beings who ever lived.
		Joan is represented as a rebellious, sacrilegious, deluded, short-tempered and argumentative teenager.
		Joan’s ‘voices’ are through creative liberty all lumped together into one voice of “the conscience” and it is never clear whether or not her voices are divine or she is suffering from some sort of psychological disorder.

	Salon Arts & Entertainment Log \| What if Joan was one of us?
		Since she was burned at the stake in 1431, Joan has been endlessly rehabilitated and recycled: by historians, by the Catholic Church (which finally got around to canonizing her in 1920) and by writers from Shakespeare to Twain to Shaw.
		In Shaw's "Saint Joan" she was a modern woman, a reaction against the melodramatic heroines who dominated 19th century theater.
		Joan's most important and dangerous religious legacy -- as a Protestant avant la lettre, she wanted to bypass the all-powerful Church and talk directly to God -- is pushed to the periphery.

		Joan of Arc, born in 1412, was burned at the stake in 1431, canonized by the Catholic Church in 1920, and, like most saints, whitewashed by history.
		Shaw's Joan, like the real Maid of Orleans, leads the fight to drive the English out of her native France, insists on direct communication with her God instead of submitting to the mediation of Catholic priests, and refuses to dress, speak, or act according to traditional notions of how women were expected to behave.
		In 1957 a memorable movie version of Shaw's Saint Joan was produced, based on a screenplay by Graham Greene.

		Another thing the movie had going for it was a crazily amusing Milla Jovovich in punk-red hair and Gaultier-designed surgical bandages as the alien wild child Leeloo, cackling and growling and spouting some sort of intergalactic gibberish while she chowed down on roast chicken.
		The easiest explanation for their usual three- and four-hour length is that Rivette is expanding the compressed time in which movies typically occur to something like real time, allowing us to live with the characters, to be fully conscious of the moments that, in real life, we allow to pass by.
		Finally, the effect is like reading the description Joan gave of her life at her trial ("Unique among the world's biographies," Mark Twain said, because it is "the only one which comes to us from the witness stand.") What moves you is that something so simple and plain could add up to something so profound.

		Some more minor miracles come about for Joan as she meets the future king for the first time (having to pick him out of a crowd of court favorites), where she urges him to act like a man and not be afraid of all those around him who treat him like a fool.
		But Joan proves once again that she can perform miracles with the aid of God, as the wind changes directions and the men cross the bridge and win the battle; and, all because they fervently followed her intrepid lead into battle.
		The two-faced archbishop tells Joan if she doesn't stop disagreeing with the church he will have her ex-communicated as a witch, which means being burnt at the stake.

	Seberg's life as metaphor
		Rappaport argues that his portrayal of the actress is probably no more fictionalized than most autobiography ever is. Seberg's career began in 1957 when she won the coveted role of Joan of Arc in Otto Preminger's movie version of the Shaw play "Saint Joan." She was an innocent 17-year-old from Iowa.
		Rappaport uses the subject of Seberg as a jumping off point from which he can examine the role of women in American life, the images Hollywood has foisted on a gullible audience, the intrusiveness of the FBI on private citizens' lives and the general abusiveness of many men to their pretty wives.
		Fonda's "Barbarella" sex-kitten image (the movie was directed by her husband, Roger Vadim), and Redgrave's simpy reprisal of the Guinevere role in "Camelot," are pointedly referred to in light of both women's left-wing political stances later in life.

	Luc Besson's film 'The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc'
		It could be added that the real St. Joan did not take kindly to people viewing her as a sex object (androgynous or otherwise), based on her response to those few who decided to make lewd comments about her.
		Despite claims by the distributor that the movie was based upon careful research, very little of it is true to the period.
		But whereas the latter movie featured reasonably authentic tactics and weapons, and the characteristic wounds produced by those weapons, Besson's film is merely gory for the sake of being gory.

		Saint Joan was actress Jean Seberg's first movie; she was 17 years old then probably the same age as Jeanne D'arc herself when her unpaid career began in the French military.
		Joan of Arc died in Rouen, France in Normandy on May 30, 1431.
		SAINT JOAN is still worth seeing, if only to appreciate how much more confident an actress Seberg would become in BONJOUR TRISTESSE (also directed by Preminger) and, of course, in Godard's BREATHLESS.
