Italian director Paolo Sorrentino, who has filmed "City of Beauty" and "Youth", has a new drama "The New Pope", which is funded by HBO. would be no fun.
The Middle Way, the Middle Way or the Middle Way runs through the entire show:
In this play, there are the performance scenes of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, the greatest building, a whole piece of "Genesis" in the Sistine Chapel, and the "Pietra Statue" sculpted by Michelangelo that appears repeatedly; Cheesy nuns dancing in neon lights, sexy bodies, eye-catching bikinis and, of course, the seductive legs of former Hollywood sex goddess Sharon Stone.
The show's protagonist, the new Pope, Sir John Brannox (played by Malkovich), is an accomplished cardinal, but a former downright rebellious youth with a coquettish eyeliner that couldn't have been better. When Sir Brannoxz spoke, it was like a tsunami, but he was usually "fragile like a china" as he said.
The first supporting role of the play is Cardinal Voiello, the first servant of the Holy See, an avid Naples fan. At work, he used the most obscene means to deal with problems, but in his private life he raised a disabled person, full of compassion and love.
The non-middle way, mentioned in Sir John Brannox's first speech at the Sistine Chapel, "is the only problem", the root cause of Islamic terrorism, the cause of the Holy See sex scandal, the root cause of the professional ethics crisis , is the starting point of the killing.
And this is not the middle way, it is paranoid love.
It's hysteria, it's twisted, it's madness, it's haunted.
It is the opposite of love, the incarnation of the devil.
The character embodied is Esther. Her paranoid love for Lenny and her hysterical love for her children made her sell her body, murder, and gather crowds to participate in terrorist acts; of course, there are also three officials in charge of finance, whose obsession and obsession with money led them to do illegal behaviors The point of no return; the terrorist who appears repeatedly on TV...
The middle way is the only way to love. Like Bach's music, gentle, quiet and elegant.
On the surface this is the heart of the show, but the director has been looking back at the more fundamental question: What is love?
Cardinal Gutierrez gave the most accurate answer I have ever seen: Love is an abstract concept, but an essential concept, like happiness, like wisdom, like God. When I was little, a man molested me, and the man said to me, "God doesn't exist", but I replied, "Even if he doesn't exist, we desperately need to believe that he exists".
In the final episode: Those who hurt us, the boys who left us in the cold, the girls who abandoned us, the strangers who ignored us, the parents who misunderstood us, the bosses who rejected us, the mentors who doubted us, those who laughed at us Brothers and sisters, those friends who gave up on us, those kisses that were rejected, no one saw it all.
Grief has no hierarchy, pain is not a game, no rankings, tortured by acne and shyness, tortured by stretch marks and discomfort, tortured by baldness and restlessness, tortured by anorexia and bulimia, shamed by skin color, shamed by sexual orientation, poverty Humiliation, humiliation by physical disability, our inconsolable weeping, our abyss of humiliation, our pit-like loss, the emptiness of our hearts, the recurring "let's end it all", nowhere to lie, no Where to stand, nowhere to go, nothing! no! no!
--Yes, this is the truest feeling in you and me, and this is the origin of "love".
Every day we hear that we need to love students, love this society, love is the answer, What a Cliché.
To borrow Sir John Brannox's answer to "What is love": A student huddles in a corner crying, the school will help him, his parents will give him money, his teachers will talk to him, his friends will comfort him, but a "love" "His tutor would say nothing, he was thinking about the student, he had the student at heart.
This is a "poetic" show, after watching it you may not be able to grasp what The Middle Way is, what is Love, but the magnificent cathedral buildings, Renaissance paintings, holy statues, sexy dances , when the colorful picture flies quickly in front of your eyes, you may encounter an extremely unfamiliar, extremely strange thing:
truth .
