God. This movie is so good. Pope Francis is the kind of bishop who is very dynamic and willing to change with the times. Pope Benedict, on the other hand, is very conservative, sticks to the dogma, and builds high walls with dogma. From the very first meeting of two people, tit-for-tat, with different understandings of doctrine, and a very unpleasant conversation, they later became each other's most important friends and brothers. The two popes lived in the life of Christ, and both had a painful past, and they were burdened with heavy sins. The confession of the two elderly people in the chapel of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican made them understand each other better and forgive the sinner's confession as priests.
The Pope was alone, and after sitting on the Pope's throne, Benedict could not hear the voice of the Lord. He was angry and felt disqualified from being Pope. With the arrival of Bishop Bergoglio, Benedict once again heard the voice of the Lord, and he heard the Lord say "go, my loyal servant" to him. I really want to cry here.
There is also a place where I want to cry, that is, after Bergoglio finished his confession, Benedict said: "You are not God, you are just a mortal." Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone is a sinner. Bergoglio burst into tears after hearing this.
The connection between man and the Lord is like cable television. The signal is sometimes good and sometimes bad.
During his years in exile, Bergoglio heard many confessions and prayers to him. The voices grew more and more, and finally drowned him. With a bang, the church door was closed. Just like Bergoglio's mood.
Being a priest is very difficult. While listening to the prayers and repentance of others, you also need to be forgiven by the Lord.
It seems that people go to a priest to repent, but it is actually similar to ordinary people going to a psychiatrist. Psychiatrists listen to patients' distress and doubts. But the psychiatrist also needs to solve it! Emotions need to be released.
The film is interspersed with two real Benedict and Bergoglio meetings. It feels so kind. I can also see the deep friendship between the two from the picture.
In fact, after watching the movie, and then looking at the title of the movie, I kind of understand the purpose of this inheritance. This inheritance is that the Pope can use Christianity to better serve his followers. benefit more poor people. And adapt to the great changes of the times. Interpretation of the teachings will also change, instead of building walls to keep people locked up.
Bergoglio loves tango and football. Benedict liked the piano and the Beatles. These are two very interesting people! It adds a different color to them as characters of this era.
I love these two actors so much. Two lovely grandpas.
