Who is the main male protagonist of this play? Is it the Pius XIII who has been lying down for most of the season, occasionally appearing beside the lost lamb in the first half, and finally leaving the stage like a saint in the second half?
Is it evil and charming but the key word is fragility, the wealthy Sir John Paul III, who has been haunted by the tragedy of the death of his twin brother for most of his life? It can be counted that he only appeared in the second episode.
And the flowing Papa, the iron-clad Secretary of State. Never absent from the first episode to the last. Even with a mole to play two corners (himself and Cardinal Fernando), V can be said to be the real hero of the show.
He speaks English slowly and has a slightly silly accent, but his words are extremely precise and to the point. Speak Italian is very fast, as refreshing as a flying knife. Cunning but down-to-earth, V is perhaps our best fantasy of the man behind a powerful manipulator.
True, the other cardinals revolved around him, and he planned the election of the new pope. As D said, everyone in the Holy See can throw dirty water on V. But as he himself said, it was his consideration of everything for the church that made him the longest-serving secretary of state in history. Isn't his appeal to John that "no one can threaten the Pope, because he will never let anyone threaten the Pope".
This loyal Naples old iron has two mobile phones and an iPad (both with team-themed protective cases), and the drinking cup is also around the team. All his free time is spent with his friend G, even by his own means and Selfishly sent the pope and bishops to G's funeral. He never hesitated to laugh at himself, and he didn't hesitate to distribute his medical report to the cardinals, so that it was time for them to consider him as Papa, but his pursuit and means of power were not annoying or even acceptable. accept.
This character is endearing because he even has the kindness, innocence and indifference of Christians, which are rarely seen in the show. He plots not only for power (Kabul warns), but also for pregnant nuns, for sick nuns (though these serve other purposes). His devotion to the clergy was unrivaled everywhere, as was his ability to run the Holy See. He may not be as charismatic and handsome as Pius XIII or John Paul III, but his practicality and resourcefulness, or "ordinary," as he puts it, are the keys to his ability to be the new pope.
Although other Papa's stories are gorgeous and eye-catching, the next V's story, an ordinary story that is not so worth telling, is also a good story. In other words, as the background color of this Holy See, maybe his story is the only one. It's the best story in the Vatican.
