Karol: A Man Who Became Pope (2005)

I watched this movie the other day and really liked it. It tells the story of Karol Wojtyla (who later became Pope John Paul 2) through his experiences during World War 2, becoming a priest and then life in post-war Communist Poland. Piotr Adamczyk plays Karol and did a really good job. It is a good movie that shows people that even before he became Pope Karol Wojtyla was a great man who suffered like everyone else and yet came out even better for it.

The movie came out just after Pope John Paul 2 died (in fact it's release date was moved because of his death.)It is too bad that the Pope couldn't have lived to see the movie and his portrayal. I think he would have liked it.
