Soldier4Him Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Anybody seen the Leelee Sobeiski version of Joan of Arc that was a tv mini series? It's available on video and DVD now. I own it! I was just curious about what everyone thought of her portrayal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirlInTheWhiteArmor Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I love Joan of Arc!!!!! The Leelee Sobieski movie is really good, but some parts are not that accurate, like her relationship with her father. Her martyrdom broke his heart and he died. If you like that movie, you should see the older one with Ingrid Bergman. That one's good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldier4Him Posted June 18, 2004 Author Share Posted June 18, 2004 I didn't know the older version existed. I'll look into it. Hey Girlinwhitearmor, where'd u come up with your name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusader1234 Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I always laugh at the commercials for that movie... im just a messenger... spooky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfran Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I thought that version, while probably better than the one with Milla Jovovich, it missed the mark cos in the battles, the Maid just rides around, waving a flag and holding up a shield to block arrows. That, to me, was disappointing, because I'm sure that St Joan [i]did[/i] actually fight... The one with MJ seemed a bit too much like a Hollywood action blockbuster to me. Not that I remember it too well... I'll have to see if I can dig up the older version at the vid store or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovechrist Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Joan of Arc is AWESOME--course i never saw the older one.... the newer one rocked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier4Him Posted June 19, 2004 Author Share Posted June 19, 2004 I just wanna clarify which version of Joan I'm talking about. The one where Leelee Sobeiski played Joan. It was a tv miniseries they showed in 2 parts over 2 nights. And she DID fight in that version. I'm not talking about the version that was in theatres called "The Messenger". Anywho. Moving on!

MorphRC Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I thought it was brilliant. I own the 2set Video and DVD.. Leelee, plays the part well, and the whole 'grey/blue scale' theme works well. There are a few parts that are off, especially at Orleans, but still its a kool movie, and a bit emotional to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier4Him Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 I agree Morph. I was very impressed with LeeLee. And she did a lot of research too. I watch the DVD all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daugher-of-Mary Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I really, really liked the old black and white version..mostly because the expression the actors put into their parts was beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
