電影《聖女貞德》
Movie "The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc"



盧貝松導演的《聖女貞德》是我重複看過上百遍的喜愛電影。 Director Luc Besson’s "The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc" is my favorite movie which I have watched almost hundred times.
電影的前半段講述村姑貞德帶領法軍打勝仗,收復失土,使法國王儲得以在漢斯接受加冕的英勇事蹟。 The first half of the movie told a heroic story of a country girl, Jeanne, who led French army to win the war, regain the lost territories, and bring the Dauphin to Reims for his coronation.
在電影的後半段,劇情則急轉直下。貞德由於「執意繼續打仗」,終於失足遭到英軍俘虜。 In the second half of the movie, a dramatic change occurred. Persisting in waging and participating in more wars, Jeanne finally failed and was captured by the British army.
在宗教審判期間,貞德開始反省自己的「執意」帶來許多無意義的犧牲。她想要找神父告解,但每位神父皆拒絕聆聽。 During the religious trial, Jeanne began to repent of her "persistence" which brought many meaningless sacrifices. She looked for a priest to listen to her confession, but every priest refused.
最後,在處刑前夕,上帝以僧侶的姿態現身在她面前,說道: 「你想要告解?我正在聽。」 Finally, before the execution, God appeared as a monk in front of her, saying: "you want to confess? I'm listening."
貞德便懺悔道:「主,我犯了罪,許多罪。我看到許多異象。」 Jeanne began to confess: "I've committed sins, my Lord. So many sins. I saw so many signs."
「許多異象。」 "Many signs."
「都只是我想要看的。我打仗…是出於復仇…和絕望。我是人們…相信的一切,好讓他們…在打仗時…有藉口。」 "The ones I wanted to see. I fought... out of revenge... and despair. I was all the things... that people believe... they're allowed to be... when they're fighting for... a cause."
「有藉口。」 "For a cause."
「我…既驕傲…又固執。」 "I was... proud... and... stubborn."
「還有自私。」 "Selfish."
「自私。」 "Selfish."
「對,還有殘忍。」 "Yes. Cruel."
「對,殘忍。」 "Yes. Cruel."
「你覺得你準備好了嗎?」 "You think you are ready now?"
「好了。」 "Yes."
「很好。」 "Good."
上帝在親自聆聽完貞德的告解後,將手按在貞德的頭上,念誦道:「Ego te absolvo in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.」 After listening to Jeanne's confession, God put his hand on Jeanne’s head, reciting: "Ego te absolvo in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen."
下一幕,貞德在火刑柱上,肉體被熊熊烈火折磨,但心靈已被拯救。 In the next scene, Jeanne was tied to the stake with her flesh tortured by raging fire, but her soul saved.
如今,我也自省,我真的在追求大是大非,還是自我滿足? Now, I introspect for this question: am I pursuing "real justice" or "self-satisfaction"?
