Writing this title may be out of exhaustion, the Pope's Succession is just the right movie I need.
I don't know when it started, but I'm obsessed with this kind of movie that relies on chatting and discussion to prop up the whole plot. The exchange, game, and collision of ideas attract me more than the production and the camera. Maybe this is because I like reading books. The fundamental reason is that I am very addicted to the feeling of the collision of the plot, not just the so-called audio-visual style of the camera picture.
The Pope's Inheritance is such a slow-moving film. Two bishops with different ideas sit together and exchange issues that should have been disputes. From Francis who wanted to resign but Benedict refused, to Benedict. Where is Benedict sitting like a future Francis repenting, saying that he can no longer hear the will of God, which is the saddest thing for a believer, and slowly Benedict realized the sect's corruption and the urgent need for reform , Every believer sees God from a different perspective. They come from different experiences and have different world views. Naturally, they have different feelings about how God exists. Francis has always wanted to live in the simplest world. To answer the question of where God was in his troubled youth, they came to a consensus, and the whole film ushered in the second half of the film neatly. At the beginning of the period, Benedict wanted to resign. It was because he didn't want Pope Francis to take the top position to continue insisting, and now that this relationship has been removed, he can do whatever he wants.
There is not much I want to say about the plot. After all, it is neat and tidy, and I can feel the story between the two old movie kings. It's really great.
