If you watched the first episode, you think this is a series that ridicules religion, especially Catholicism, I think you are wrong; if you are a Christian, especially a Catholic, if you think this is disrespect to the clergy , Disrespect to God, I think you are even more wrong. In the words of Pius XIII in the play: Your God is absent. He was right. When you get the opposite answer to something you take for granted, if you express fierce resistance, your God is absent. Of course, this is not for us to be hard-hearted people, but for us. Look deeper, when you have not understood a person's past, you will not understand what he said and did.
As the plot progresses, I can clearly see that Pope Pius XIII is a person with childhood trauma, and his trauma has never been completely released. Director Sorrentino used a lot of imagination , Illusion plots to express the Pope’s inner struggle; this struggle is also reflected in the Secretary of State’s fantasy of Venus, the pope’s secretary Gutierrez’s wine, the Pope’s teacher’s desire to control the power, Sister Maria Pajamas and so on. Therefore, the pope’s paranoia and unreasonable playing cards are because he has not yet grown up, and he is getting deeper and deeper in the whirlpool of childhood trauma.
Fortunately, the cardinals accepted that the new pope is indeed the will of God under the leadership of the Holy Spirit. As the drama progresses, they all come to assist Pius XIII, and Pius XIII began to become the pope. I have slowly experienced in life that it is time to face up to my childhood trauma, from the conversations with the Swiss Guard wife; from the conversations with the confessor Tommaso on the roof of the Peter’s Basilica; from the Secretary of State in the garden Meditate and watch the work and prayer lives of the nuns; and experience the true existence of the self in the midst of smoking, exercising, and being in a daze.
Pius XIII’s paranoia originated from his childhood abandonment by his parents, and he believed that his parents were still alive, so he reported a kind of contempt for everything around him. He despised faith, despised God, and despised all people. But he showed enthusiasm for his work, otherwise he would not be a cardinal. His contempt is reflected in his extremes, which can be said to be non-stop, but his extreme rhetoric has his unique theological and philosophical system, which is sophistry. ! His sophistication was unwilling to accept the facts, which caused him to blurt out that he did not believe in God, and there was no God. This proves that he most believes in the existence of God, which can be seen from the fact that he coerced God to carry out his wish. Although it is not good to intimidate God, this is also the paranoia caused by his childhood trauma, but in it I can see his enthusiasm for God!
From the miracles he prayed for, he felt the presence of God for him, and his heart was tending to relax. Although the search for his parents was still haunting him, he had communicated with the members of the Holy See. Look, Pius XIII's heart is changing, becoming soft, humble, and lovely. When everything seems to be normal, in the contemplation of the pope sitting in the garden presented by the director, when he is drying socks for the nuns, he has almost integrated into his new life, but it is a kind of kind to his parents. The feeling of needing to be completely released will also harass him from time to time. From the fall of the church of San Mar in Venice, I finally became the perspective of God. What the director expressed to us, what I feel, he is really A servant of all the servants, he may not have been humble, but he was such a "humble" man in the way God arranged for him-his parents hurt him. Pius XIII had to be humble. He was People, he himself said this.
Judging from the final picture, he is not wearing a pope's cape, he is wearing a silver cross, which is humility. After he finished his speech with the cardinals, gold embroidery appeared on his white uniform, which I have never seen in the real pope's costume. Maybe the director wants to express that he is growing up.
The many costumes and etiquette in this film are actually different from the real Catholic Church. The director does not need to be exactly the same in etiquette. This is just a visual effect required by film and television dramas, so please don’t ask Catholics too much. Worried and spicy eyes.
What I approve is: the zealous faith of Pope Pius XIII when he prayed. "Only long-lasting prayers are not enough to please God. Only enthusiastic prayers and good deeds can be aroused by loving kindness"-"Creation Record" Saint Teresa
