Don’t be wrong. This is the second part of the TV series “Karol: A Man Who Became Pope”. If the first part is very good, inspirational, it doesn’t matter if you are or not catholic, the history of this Pope is a mandatory reference to both centuries, the 20th and 21th. This movie begins when karol became John Paul II. The music…..aaaah, the music was composed for Ennio Morricone….if you enjoy the music of The Mission, you will love this soundtrack.

A JOY TO WATCH,

By Ms. EA Byrne “Noble-reader” (London, Uk) - See all my reviews

I ordered this film from Canada because you can’t get the second part in the UK and it was totally worth while. The Pope, The man is wonderful and a little more accurate than A Man Who became Pope which took liberties with the early part of JP’s life. I was profoundly moved by many aspects of both films-I will treasure this DVD.

Both films are a beautiful, moving tribute to a man who taught love and practiced what he preached. I think they are wonderfully acted by the title roles- I cannot recommend them highly enough. Pope Benedict himself gave them a favourable review but you don’t need to be Catholic, Christian or even religious to recognise the goodness of JPII and see the gift he had with people- especially youth.

This film captures the essence of who Karol was and what motivated him in a time of oppression and fear. It puts the message of John Paul’s papacy ‘DO NOT BE AFRAID’ into a new light when you see how hard he must have struggled not to let fear conquer him in his life.

In ‘KAROL; THE POPE, THE MAN’ the actors reprise their roles - Piotr Adamczyk is utterly superb in portraying the Pope to the point of his death. This young actor really does deserve praise. Together these are truly great films that inspire and uplift like the man himself.

I hope as many people as possible get the chance to enjoy themSearch Amazon.com: Karol: The Pope, The Man: Piotr Adamczyk, Raoul Bova, Michele Placido, Adriana Asti, Giacomo Battiato: Movies & TV from AmAzon
