I still remember watching the news when I was a sophomore in 2013, Pope Francis was elected, and there was only a vague concept at that time. I have always felt that the Vatican Church, mysterious, solemn, after all, it is connected with 'God'. As an ordinary Chinese who does not believe in religion, I used to think that religious people are often stupid and only believe in so-called theories. When I saw this film, I felt that the church was very meaningful. It helped people find peace in life. Whether it is the Pope, priest or missionary, its core meaning is to help the poor, reduce discrimination and division, and make The world gets better. The overall pacing of the film is very brisk. In the dialogue, people are allowed to follow the protagonist to think and let people understand the story between the two popes. If these film plots are true, I feel very happy, but what is the reality? Whether it is a propaganda film of the church, we do not know. Those horrible things that happen in the church, child molestation, that's real. I think that the kind of closeness that Pope Francis showed in the movie made the Pope return from God to man. He also has the confusion and mistakes of youth, and he also has hobbies, dancing and football. Are these signals that the church needs to reform? At least that's what the movie says, we can only pray. In addition, China and the Vatican broke off diplomatic relations in 1953. The ideological gap is difficult to eliminate. Like many bad things in the world, it is difficult to change. It requires the joint efforts of each of us. First of all, it is Start at the ideological level.

    I don't know much about what the Catholic Church and the Pope are like in reality, but I can imagine the real evils and ugliness, which are far from understated as the film shows. As far as the film itself is concerned, despite its many advantages, it is very much like a large propaganda film endorsing the Church and the Pope, providing an idealized answer to some controversial initiatives. The church is divorced from the secular world, so this film is also divorced from reality and is limited to artistic appreciation.

    I like their conversations, not having to fully identify with each other, not having to compromise or change.

The Two Popes quotes

  • Pope Francis: And remind you that truth may be vital, but without love, it is unbearable. Caritas in veritate.

  • Pope Francis: We are seeing a globalization of indifference. There is a culture of conflict, which makes us think only of ourselves. Makes us live in soap bubbles which, however lovely, are also insubstantial. We've become used to the suffering of others. It doesn't affect me. No one in our world feels responsible. Who is responsible for the blood of our brothers and sisters? The refugees washed up on the shores of the Mediterranean? I don't have anything to do with it.Must be someone else. Certainly, not me. When no one is to blame everyone is to blame.
