      inexplicable

      I feel that the first half is very good, but the middle and late stages are a bit weak, lacking some shocking things in it, instead it highlights feminist independence too much, which is a bit unnatural. It can be described with more emphasis on his actions as a pope, rather than weakening it. To a female character provokes sympathy.

      Whether the rumors about the female pope giving birth in the street and the pope's gender verification were slander and slander for political or...

      This is a legend about women

      In fact, every priest in the Church of Rome is male. The reason for the church is that Jesus and his every. All of the disciples were male. Churches see it as their calling to imitate Jesus, so it is wrong to appoint women. But there is an incredible legend that in the Middle Ages, a woman was elected Pope. Some people once thought that in the religious history books, the church never mentioned this pope, and in order to erase it from history, they forced Leo IV, who lived to 853 AD, to die two...

      Brother practice

      A very good woman, I don't know if it was Mulan who learned from her or she learned from Mulan. I

        like her diligence and love of learning. She has a good personal conduct, and also shows the kindness, fraternity, caring and suffering of religious propaganda. I am

        more envious of people of faith. You can live so fulfillingly, face all kinds of dangers bravely and

       realize that you have to have faith and join a big team with a common belief, in order to do more...

      "The Pope" - about "deception". .

      The film is more than two hours long and tells a story about "deception". It should be said that the choice of subject matter is sensational, the female pope? Yeah, did it really exist in real Catholic history? This may say to the director that there is no problem with everything, even if it is not real, then create a "real".
      Then a seemingly "unquestionable" pseudo-character biopic is made, (second deception?), maybe it can be shot, to satisfy the audience's voyeurism (curiosity), indeed,...

      There are no fairy tales in the middle world

      Unimaginable Middle Ages.
      Centuries-long intellectual waste.
      A woman with great talent for language and understanding. A woman who
      has lived through her own wedding where everyone died. A woman who pretends
      to be a man in a monastery full of men and can use her academic expertise. The
      mighty Mulan is intellectual. Not every day of being spiritually
      alive is carefully daunting
      to be found to be a woman's hidden danger all the time.
      She had a fever and was...

      Adapted from the world's best-selling novel, it tells the unsolved case of a pope in the Roman Catholic Church who disguised herself as a man and gave birth to a child more than a thousand years ago. Whether it is true or not remains to be...

      Fortunately, I was born in modern times. This epic blockbuster deserves a better interpretation. Who gave you the society and ideology of patriarchal preference and unequal human rights? ? ? ? ? Finally, it is ironic and realistic that women are bound to be weak when they are rulers, especially...

    Evaluation action

    As Die Päpstin Johanna, she faces a rigid institutional structure and power struggle in the film. She confronts the authorities alone and requires a lot of courage. The director Songk Waterman turned the film into a more manic and immortal epic. This powerful image makes John walk between the pious pope and the tightrope of the woman in love, a charming androgynous, but his heart is full of determination and fragility. With her strong...

    Movie quotes

    • House Steward: Pardon me, Eminence. The girl has arrived. You had her fetched from Ingelheim.

      Fulgentius: Oh yes, now I remember. That Greek scholar's idea. But am I seeing double?

      House Steward: The boy is her brother. Their father, a Priest, insists that he too be allowed to attend the Scola.

      Fulgentius: What do you know? I send for one and get two! If only the Emperor were as generous as these holy men from the countryside!

    • Johanna von Ingelheim: As for strength of will, women can be viewed as superior to man. Eve ate from the apple out of love of knowledge and learning. Adam ate it only because Eve asked him to.
