"The Pope's Succession" isn't the kind of movie that should be highly recommended, but it's an option if you want to know a little more about contemporary Pope Francis. The two actors who played the Pope gave us the best actor-level performances. This is a work of two people's acting skills. But this is not the most anticipated part of it. The acting skills just add some comfortable viewing experience to the story, and you can finish the story very comfortably. To be sure, most of the plot here is fictitious. The friction and reconciliation between the two popes has a real background, but the conversations are based on sound speculation. This is a film that gave me a quiet glimpse into the state of contemporary Catholicism. For an atheist, there is little mysticism here, but it is full of doubts that are not fully accepted. The two popes are more perfectly framed in the works, and although the works try to humanize them, the relatively perfect shaping still makes them incompatible with mortals. Sacred in a human way, which is probably a goal the director wanted. After watching this movie, I kept thinking, how cohesive is this belief that is imposed from birth? The decline in the number of Catholics was by no means the result of the Pope's misconduct. This changeable world will actually catch everyone off guard, just watched a documentary - "Mohammed bin Salman". There is no doubt that Salman is changing the Middle East and the world like a sudden monster. And there will be many, many people like him. How does the power of faith help people fight against this ever-changing world?

    Hannibal vs High Sparrow, it turned out not bad. Watching the two grandfathers who are over 150 years old together freely switch between English, Italian, Spanish, Latin, and German, I shed tears of envy. The Vatican did not allow the crew to enter the Sistine for filming, and Netflix spent ten weeks building a Sistine of equal proportions, which is inhuman!

    The familiar Cordoba, Buenos, Rome, the history of military and political dictatorships, the World Cup, and the Summer Palace just visited, as well as the Vatican, which is poorly understood by Lenny, Sorrentino and others, are also affected by this new film. Impressed. Immediately go out, get in the car, and go to St. Peter's Square. In April 2016, in Medellín, Colombia, the Airbnb host asked Guan Yao and I to guess pictures of celebrities when they were young, and a message appeared on my phone saying, "This is the most famous Argentine." "Messi, Maradona, Guevara?" "Ah! You don't know. This is Pope Francis!" "The Pope is Argentine?" And the common sense of that world can never be our common sense. You were only waiting for this moment to arise

The Two Popes quotes

  • Pope Francis: Confession cleans the sinner's soul, it doesn't help the victim. Our whole church is in need of forgiveness. Where is our humility? Sin is a wound, not a stain. It needs to be treated, healed. Forgiveness is not enough.

  • Pope Benedict: [playing the piano] You know, the, um... this album was recorded in a famous studio in London. I was told, uh, I should be very honored because the Beatles had been there. Do you know the Beatles?

    Pope Francis: Yes, I know who they are.

    Pope Benedict: Of course you do.

    Pope Francis: 'Eleanor Rigby!'

    Pope Benedict: Who?

    Pope Francis: 'Eleanor Rigby.'

    Pope Benedict: I don't know her.
