Leans Traditional
Primary
The film explores the historical persecution of Joan of Arc, focusing on the conflict between individual spiritual conviction and the rigid dogma and political machinations of institutional power. Its critique of institutional abuse and celebration of individual truth are universal themes, preventing a clear alignment with modern left or right political ideologies.
The movie features a traditional, all-white cast, consistent with its historical setting and the era of its production, without any intentional race or gender swaps. The narrative, while depicting a female protagonist challenging established male authority, does not explicitly critique traditional identities or incorporate modern DEI themes as a central element.
Secondary
The film affirms Joan's profound personal faith and her direct connection to God, portraying her as a virtuous and divinely guided figure. While it critiques the institutional Church for its rigidity, political motivations, and ultimate condemnation of Joan, the narrative positions the audience to sympathize with Joan's spiritual conviction, highlighting human failings within the institution rather than the faith itself.
