Very fun premise that I wish the movie had more confidence in. It really didn't need the lame interview scene in the middle that explained all the fun details & mysteries away in the most boring unnatural way possible.

The Passion of Joan of Arc 1928
"I know nothing of Gods love or hatred of the English,
but I know all of the English will be driven out of France.
Except those who die here!"Sorry Billy Shakespeare but I am following Joan into battle not Henry.
