  Saw the movie on Bravo. Great film from a film perspective, but I question the truth in the story line. Although the screenplay was based on the Latin transcripts, the Catholic Church deified Joan 500 years after they put her to death. In addition, what was with the schizophrenic episodes the character went through in the film? Are we to believe that she actually spoke to Satan/demons during her imprisonment? Or that they played out a role in her conquests? This story cannot hold up to historical fact... she was a rally point for the French peasants in the early 1400's, and that is it. Holy Mother Church killed her for heresy, just as they did for millions upon millions of other 'heretics' during the Inquisition, and now deny happened (visa-vies -- the Holocaust!) Nice entertainment, but that is about it.
