In the second season of "The New Pope", in the grand narrative of the struggle for religious power, the most fascinating is the personal story of Sir John. His mystery and fragility are self-proclaimed as soon as they come up, and as the plot deepens, they are interspersed back and forth, and they surface one by one. When his weaknesses were exposed in front of the world in the live broadcast, he lost all face, and he flinched again until he realized that everyone has weaknesses, and they make a fool of themselves in front of others. It is these weaknesses, these soft places in human nature. , is the commonality of human beings.
So there is the Angelus, which is probably the most wonderful speech I have ever seen in a film and television drama, written to all those forgotten and neglected people.
After this great speech, he finally chose to return to himself. The pope's prominence is not him, and not being noticed or forgotten is his life goal. As he said at the end "Vulnerability is my strength, not my curse". It also takes courage to accept yourself.
John Malkovich's richly layered portrayal of a sensitive, mysterious, fragile, yet passionate when necessary John Paul III, is almost flawless. In particular, his lines have undergone rigorous testing, ranging from No, No, No, which is full of changes with only one word, to the long speeches of the Angelus for several minutes. The emotions range from anxiety to excitement, which is really religious. Holy and calling.
Finally, why isn't Sir John gay? :)
