Movie "The Pope's Succession"
Another Netflix masterpiece. Another extremely modern audio-visual experience. The last film that gave me this feeling was also Fernando Merrills, "City of God".
I've only read half of the Old Testament, and I can't tell the difference between Christianity and Catholicism before watching the movie, so I won't comment on the religious issues of the movie. I say from this refreshing but atmospheric clip.
The very focused editing gives a handheld feel to even the mostly fixed camera group shots. The distribution of footage in frequently-appearing documentaries is Fernando's attempt to pull the Pope down from the altar and demote him to a commoner. The footage is very clean, and it was shot on location in the Vatican, which drove me to watch the film three times, and back and forth over a dozen times in some places where I thought the editing was excellent.
Just talking about the few scenes where the election of the new pope was started, the originally quiet scenes were given pop music, a lot of upgrades, a lot of repetition and formal expression, which made a process that should have been boring. I was thinking about imitating a set of editing, but the effect was unimpressive.
Francis likes football and wants to use his reforms to promote the church's "accession to the WTO". It can be said that he is a reformer. But Pope Benedict can never be called a conservative. He maintains conservative dogmas, but his unprecedented abdication in 2012 shows that this pope has the courage to reform.
After Francis has experienced wars and coups, and everything has returned to peace, Francis should have a deeper understanding of life and death than ordinary people.
"We shouldn't build walls." That was Francis' most sincere statement about this era of unprecedented nationalism.
Plus, the ending is like magic.
