- GoofsBoth cited saints were firm opponents of abortion. St. Thomas Aquinas considered it to be a "sin against nature to reject God's gift of a new life." St. Alphonsus Liguori stated that "directly impeding the life of a human being is a grave sin, and a still graver one if the fetus is animate."
- Quotes
(2016): What is more beautiful, my love? Love lost or love found? Don't laugh at me, my love. I know it, I'm awkward and naive, when it comes to love, and I ask questions straight out of a pop song. This doubt overwhelms me and undermines me, my love... or to lose? All around me, people don't stop yearning. Did they lose or did they find? I can't say. An orphan has no way of knowing. An orphan lacks a first love. The love for his mama and papa. That's the source of his awkwardness, his naiveté. You said to me, on that deserted beach in California, "you can touch my legs." But I didn't do it. There, my love, is love lost. That's why I've never stopped wondering, since that day: where have you been? And where you are now? And you, shining gleam of my misspent youth, did you lose or did you find? I don't know. And I will never know. I can't even remember your name, my love. And I don't have the answer. But this is how I like to imagine it, the answer. In the end, my love, we have no choice. We have to find.
An intricate web of stories without context but understandable nevertheless.
The Young Pope is a mixture of Donny Darko, Better call Saul, House of Cards and every Fellini movie.
Delicious, intriguing, intelligent, dialogue rich and stunning cinematography & symbolism.
