summarys joan arc robin hood movie critic -icism

my summarys
some people have  "A PAYING JOB" to write summarys for others to have a chance to decide if the story interests them so why cant i? i am doing the same worthwhile job by writing my summary and being a critic.
this post will critique and summarize "two old legends" as told in video "joan of arc" a mini-series on tv, seen in 1999, and sold as disk, about age 13 saw and obeyd vision. born 1412+13=1425. saw a vision in garden but better marketing she saw it in church. and a second the legend of robin hood as seen in the comedy version.
one 1 "robin hood men in tights" 1993 to make the "classic" meaning "old", story more palate-able they added some comedy and rap.
around the core "ingredient elements" robin hood was a hero in the crusades and led a struggle against extreme taxes to help the poor, til the king returned, they added some rap and dancing at the beginning and exagerated other parts to make things funny.
the story started with some dancers sindging and dancing. but not talented song words nor consistent melody. but abrupt "i say hey" which a limited audience does enjoy... but limited... who prefer something more important than skill.. only the skin color.
then robin hood is a prisoner in the crusades. he went to crusade battles obeying the king but when he escaped prison... did he return to serve his king? oops. if not obey better to say he was never commanded to go to army kuz not muscular enuf.
in the land called england, robin returnd and cannot go home kuz the king "took" the home and land. not the real king who is away fyting the crusade but the fill-in who raised taxes and takes everything. not only is the king owning the property insted of him but they roll it away... is that funny? kuz "took it"?
robin gatherd some helpers. he helpd a kid running from the cops for hunting in the forest by shaming the head cop. he saved a negro from a gang of white-bread... now that is the one definition of a hero: in this generation fyt your own skin color to save the other skin color... yet that premise itself is "color discrimination" because skin color should not matter. robin should not be involved in the fyt at all. bad to mix in to violence. if good, then stand aside. he dont even know why they are fytig can we assume the white bread was "racist" wanting to hurt negroes... the makers believd that would market the film video. though not to inteligent people. robin hood saved the negro by fyting his own skin color that "defines a hero," but it should not. similarly in avatar the guy who cant walk fout "his own" race to help his lover... is that a hero? i doubt that.
then robin traind the citizens to be warriors... that is the one plausible part.... and after he kneew that hunting was forbidden he enterd the the palace fearlessly showing that he hunted violating the fake kings authority. then they have a battle. and robins knockd down all the soldiers. litl john is strong enuf to lift gate and they leave.
john arranged an archery match and robin came despite his lovers warning. he shot the arrow and showed archery skill. in the disney parallel the competitor hit his bow so he quickly shot a second arrow to hit the bd arrow "just right" to send it to the target disney was clever. in this version not really skill but entertaining to watch the guided missile.
the soldiers surround him and the helpers send for the newly traind army to free robin. coulda threatend his lover at this point forcing his surrender but that idea is in "phantom of the opera".
she begd to spare robins life despite separating from him. the army freed robin and they battle the gaurds then robin climbd the tower and freed marion from the top cop in a sword duel.
with the army they rescue robin and he rescued his lover marion. the king gatherd his soldiers but the real king returnd and protected robin and punished his brother cancelling the exagerated taxes.
my conclusion? not worth buying just read the summary here and insted rent and watch the far better disney version despite the claim that animated is only for kids.
two 2 joan of arc the version in mini-series in two parts.
 
joan de arc where? you must already know? that joan de arc was french lady in france. when? at a time called the hundred years war fout in land called france between english who claimd the land by marriage against two french leaders one burgundy and another royal family who all claimed the land and fout each other.
when a dauter was born, dad does not want a dauter but ma convinced pa to see her as a human. part of fiction kuz only ancient japs kild dauters but not in france. if woulda killed no problems later, but she grew older and saw visions with messages that she knew were from god.
at age ten the young girl playd with a boy. she saw all france is one, no real divisions nor separation so should not be divided among two french kings and  third english king.
some refugees passd their village and beggd for food she wanted to help but dad said "i must keep for my family that is YOU you ungrateful twit". at dinner she complaind that we have plenty and dad explaind not enuf for a larj mob. but their vilij was next. the french burgundy attakd and burnd their homes making them homeless. her lover burnd. she cryd to god why him?
swayd by her anger at burgundy for hurting her loved boy, and already wanting a united france as she had said already, in church she saw a vision of both: a united france under the other french dude who also claimd to inherit the throne. she left her family and went to the leader who had not defended their town. "send me to the heir of the throne i saw god say he wanted a united france". he scofd and did not believe her. [for marketing only. back then they trusted prophets much easier.]
she sent a message to the poor "if you work to build our defenses in our city we will give you homes". the homeless pourd in and helpd build defenses so they were welcomed. the leader invited joan to explain why they were buildng defenses. for gratitude gave her what she wanted an escort to the heir. um one of the heirs. probably sent her before added new walls. about heirs the dufon was only one of several claimants especially after the english king had wed a royal dauter as told in shakespears story henry the eighth after his victory and compeld the marriage.
a messenger told the heir she was coming and he hid in the crowd to test her. a substitute sat on the throne. she came and saw the old guy on the throne that could not be the young heir so she lookd aong the young guys and an angel showed her the right young guy. they all believed she was the legendary maiden.
the church tested her for blasphemy and as long as she did not threaten their power she was fine.
the soldiers followed her to fyt the english on the coast cald saxony. note: the dwellers of englend are "anglo-saxons" kuz crossed from saxon conquering england adding the isle to their home in saxon. so god was saying take away the source from the anglo-saxons. french were happy with that prophecy and attacked the english anglo-saxon soldiers in a saxon town and they fout but the fire bomb was not hitting the target. joan was injured and many soldiers lost braveness til she returnd.
this miracle her recovery after arrow hit, inspired them to continue. the attack til the fire bomb started a fire and they opend the gate. to flee the smoke. then they killed the anglo saxons.
she also wanted to fyt burgundy but the heir made a deal with the burgundy leader.
joan argued with him that god wants one united france. the church dude argued you cant speak for god.
she left and led her followers to attack paris. her new lover died and she cried again "what did i do wrong i was obeying her visions from god." she faild at paris. the heir apologized and gave land to burgundy ruler.
at paris they captured her and spent half hour with the drama of her visions and interrogations until they burnt her for not accepting the church above god. but hundreds of years later they said that she was a good prophet. kuz that was good marketing at the time.
