Criticism

[edit]

The criticism needs sources. As it stands now, the article is not neutral - AKeen 18:16, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Closing line

[edit]

According to the article, "However, in both play and film, Joan's last line is 'O God that madest this beautiful earth, when will it be ready to receive Thy saints? How long, O Lord, how long?'"  In actual fact, Seberg says "who," not "that"; "made," not "madest"; and "your," not "thy."  allixpeeke (talk) 16:10, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Accident during filming

[edit]

Perhaps mention should be made of an accident during filming of the stake-burning scene, where flames got out of hand and Seberg was burned. On her way to the studio the next day, she was involved in an automobile accident. (Source: Illustrated London News: 1957 Mar 02, pg 347) CFLeon (talk) 00:56, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Shavian Wit in Joan of Arc

[edit]

George Bernard Shaw as in his many dramatic comedies is never shy of introducing literary and historical anachronisms to drive home his point and produce wry backhanders on early 20th Century Society as he saw it. Hence his recurring comment on "the modern woman" in comedies such as Caesar and Cleopatra and in Joan of Arc in a Europe in a fragile state of Post War recovery the adoption of Napoleons' quote about the Big Battalions amongst others are deliberately ironic anachronisms employed as social commentary and at the same time be approachable to his intended audience. Deliberate anachronism is used often by film-makers but to cite some deliberate furphys from The Egyptian based on the Walter Miktari novel and directed by Michael Curtiz the mid twentieth century intrudes at a popular level with a backyard BBQ, a modern steel spade, and a medical clinic which resembles a mid twentieth century hospital interior 124.170.66.66 (talk) 03:25, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@124.170.66.66 lo que tengo es la imagen del actor que fuma puros ya mayor, año 1958 asistió a mi parto ese año en una cala de Menorca al lado de la playa en el mejor rancho de allí y mi madre y mi padre pronunciaron que un ucraniano que debía ser otro tremendo no permitiría que yo no priorizada y me decidieron dejar en el agua a verse de la corriente después lo que pasó es obra de que después de ser adoptado a los nueve años recordé ese día y estuvo buscando el sitio hasta que lo encontré Andodanpercy (talk) 23:59, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
