However, as a secular person, in fact, very few people will take the initiative to experience the pain of tearing their souls and flesh in order to become sanctified. After all, you only need to think about how to be a good person, and to become a generation of popes, you must dehumanize and transform into a spiritual leader who represents the Holy Spirit in the eyes of more than one billion people. People complete their human nature through growth, and the Pope loses their human nature through growth, and enters the supreme realm by approaching God and divinity infinitely.
The cigarette in the hand of Jude Law, who plays the Pope in the play, undoubtedly makes him stained with a touch of mystery in the smog, and at the same time becomes a symbol of the contradiction that his humanity and divinity are inseparable. Obviously, this young pope did not want to be sanctified because of his youth or some other character trait, but was brought to the forefront because of factionalism in the church. To become Pope in the end took him by surprise. But right now, right now, I am the Pope. Because of this Chinese Zen-like belief, his unpreparedness became the best preparation, and he seemed to have the characteristics of being a different and outstanding pope.
With such an unprecedented Pope as the protagonist, it is bound to bring an unprecedented story. "The Young Pope" was born out of nowhere, shaking the senses and spiritual corners of the secular people everywhere. It subverts our previous imagination of the Pope, subverts our understanding of religion. Not only that, because religion itself is the carrier of Western philosophy, history, and culture, this giant system of religious themes about the Pope has also become a complex that integrates Western history, politics, culture, and even economics, psychology, and thinking. It teases our aesthetic expectations. Through the gorgeousness, luxury, heaviness and perfection accumulated over thousands of years in the ancient city of Vatican City, it reflects the beauty and magnificence that our aesthetic imagination can achieve from all angles, and takes us into an exploration of human nature and divinity. A narrative feast of life and sublimation, reality and ideal.
Paul Sorrentino, the director and one of the screenwriters, is like a "pope" in a language kingdom. His language talent and narrative talent are also breathtaking, which is also the basis for the success of this "Young Pope". Guarantee.
