It was originally a great sorrow, but it became a little fresh

I went to watch this movie very seriously, and prepared to write a review seriously. This is something I haven't wanted to do for a long time.
Because I have read Boccaccio's records, I am more inclined to the fact that the story of the Pope is true. In fact, in any case, the pope shouldn't be just a scandal in the history of religion, with a bit of ambiguity and eroticism, and fascinating. Whether it is true or not, the story should be told as a heavy epic. I think the pope should at least take us to see hell and heaven.
However, such a difficult spiritual history has been reduced to an inspirational theme. Wasted such a shocking subject. Because the Western world is not as tolerant of Hua Mulan as we are to this indistinguishable pope. Unfortunately, although the actors have better acting skills and better productions. On the whole, the quality of "The Pope" is not higher than that of Zhao Wei's "Mulan".
These women hide their identities and choose a silent attitude to confront the world fiercely. The perspective of future generations should not only focus on their scandals.
Fortunately, the choice of actors is good, or the makeup artist is chosen well, the pope is not beautiful, otherwise, I think I will turn off the computer as soon as possible.
I am not opposed to Johanna’s love. In fact, I think I should write a special book about love, because Johanna’s tragedy is originally a tragedy of divinity and humanity. She is a god bestowed by heaven and has experienced great tragedy and great suffering. Come to rescue this bleak world, but suffer from humanity—motherhood, unable to completely give up one's own daughterhood, abandon the dusty thoughts, give up completely, and finally vanish. But this film is really clichéd about love. Just like the high end of the balance, it makes people feel reckless and powerless. Could it be that Johanna can have the best of both worlds if he is not pregnant, and the Pope's career can really continue safely? Moreover, the pen and ink of love is far from that of the Pope. The scribbled ending makes Johanna the Pope seem very worthless in the past three years. It is inevitable that people will slander why she doesn't cherish the glory and power that she has exchanged after suffering so much.

Pope Joan 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.
