ForHimAlone Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 [quote name='Fides_et_Ratio' date='Aug 16 2005, 10:16 AM']I only got to watch about the last hour or so (highly unfair... a friend was over and very distracting)... However, I was wondering how much of it was "spiffed up" for the movie and how much was true. So now I am reading George Weigel's biography ("Witness to Hope" with renewed vigor to finish the almost 900 page book!). The ending, when they showed footage of the real JPII's election was good. It was funny to think how different he looks, since, as one who reconciled only 3 years ago... I remember a greatly worn and much older-looking Pope. He was still a genius.

So I'm assuming it was pretty accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fides_et_Ratio Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I'm TiVo-ing the Sunday 9am commercial free showing. I'm hoping I can use the DVD recorder and save it. If someone pays shipping, I can probably send copies out. I'm a poor college bum, otherwise I'd just pay the shipping myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey's_Girl Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I saw about 1.5 hours of it (at the end). I was just bawling when they did the conclave. The actor playing JPII was great. I actually *liked* the political parts (I'm a Cold War buff, what can I say?) but there were parts that were either jerky or slow. ***********SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!********************************* The part where he reconciled with the guy who was spying on him--that was AWESOME!
