Give way to people who disagree with you

Whether you're Catholic or not, this is a good movie to watch.

The true story told in this film has three historical firsts:

1) Pope Benedict XVI was the first pope to abdicate voluntarily in 600 years.

2) Francis is the first pope from outside Europe since the 8th century.

3) The transfer of power between the two popes has produced changes that have not been seen in Catholic history for hundreds of years.

These two popes are very interesting, one is conservative and the other is trying to reform. However, although these two people with tit-for-tat views clashed fiercely in the debate, you did not see that kind of enemy-like hostility at all. Instead, they were calm like brothers. The conservative Benedict XVI seems to be deliberately trying to give way to the aggressive Francis.

At the beginning of the film, the operator of the airline did not believe that it was the Pope himself who called to book the ticket, and hung up the phone because he thought it was a joke.

The film ends with the two popes watching the World Cup final between Germany and Argentina together. And the two popes happen to be one German and one Argentine.

The wonderful performance of the two actors has been nominated for the 2020 Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor. And nominations for Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Adapted Screenplay.

    I could just say right now that this is one of this year's top ten. The truth may be vital, but without love it becomes unbearable. - Benedict XVI

    I watched it with my Catholic friends, and discussed it while watching. It was really a special feeling. The two sessions in the film were a little trembling. It happened that I watched the BBC documentary about Francis some time ago. Maybe he is really a Catholic. In the current generation, when the church is slowly losing its members, and child molestation scandals are frequent, God let him appear to lead the church to reform and win the hearts of the people again. the guide. A week ago, Francis announced the lifting of the Pontifical Secrecy Act against the priests involved in the child molestation case. Although there are voices saying that the move was too late, after all, this is the first time that the most conservative church that has been running for more than 2,000 years has been "God's spokesperson in the world", the biggest progress made by the front is really not easy.

The Two Popes quotes

  • Pope Benedict: We all suffer from spiritual pride. We all do. You must remember that, uh..you are not God. In God, we move, and live, and have our being. We live in God, but we are not of it. You're only human.

  • Pope Benedict: I cannot feel the presence of God. I do not hear His voice, do you understand me?
