Catholic, Non-Catholic. Believe. Don’t Believe. But Watch.

Posted on by Live & Learn

Of course I have sinned….
As a child, I have failed you first by not having the courage to taste of life itself.
Instead, I hid away in books, and then study.
I know now this left me empty and void of the world.

~ Anthony Hopkins as Pope Benedict XVI in The Two Popes (Netflix, 2019)

“If you’re going to make a movie about what’s holy, it had better be outstanding — and this drama rises to the occasion.” ~ Tara McNamara, Common Sense Media

  1. I’ve followed some interviews (chats) with the main actors – a very important film I think and inasfar as your title goes, I couldn’t agree more! It’s one of those movies I honestly can’t wait to see.

      1. I love what a manager told me many years ago.
        “You cannot lead until you learn to follow”.
        I started to watch this last night. Its a must tonight. If Live and Learn says its good, its good, and I’ll follow along.
        Merry Christmas all!

  4. I’m looking forward to this.
    “The most important qualification of a leader is not wanting to be leader.” So agree with this.

          1. Believers shouldn’t need or have leaders. But this is coming from believer who’s not a follower of any religion.

          3. I’m with you. All of us need leaders.

            Not in faith though. My parents would be my h happier if a followed a “leader”. But I’m still sticking to my feeling that my relationship ship with what I believe in a a strictly intimate one-on-one affair and I don’t want anything or anyone in the middle.

    Watched the previews, the interviews and the promos … “If you’re going to make a movie about what’s holy, it had better be outstanding — and this drama rises to the occasion.” Tara McNamara, Common Sense Media.

  7. It is a movie I somewhat dread watching (for the emotional load, not the caliber of the actors) but am aware is important to watch. It is on my “before the end of 2019” list.

  8. This is so funny because I was thisclose to watching it yesterday but it was too late… I think I’ll be watching it tomorrow between events.

    Merry Christmas, David, to you and yours!
