DVD Reviews of Karol: A Man Who Became Pope
DVD Review: Moving! Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
Rented this movie and my 19 year old daughter loved it so much that she wanted a copy to keep. Our entire family watched this and we were amazed at the love a man can have and show under such awful conditions in his life and surroundings. I think we all can learn from his example.

Summary: 5 Stars
If you don't already have a devotion to John Paul II, you will after watching this incredible movie! I had no idea he endured so much suffering in Poland during the war. The actor who plays JPII is fantastic and quite resembles him.
Be sure to watch the sequel to this movie which covers JPII's life during his papacy until death. Both movies are truly moving and will inspire you to live like JPII.
Pope John Paul the Great, pray for us!! +

Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must see movie for anyone interested in the subject. It gives an insight to Karol Woytila as no one could have known before. His life was fraught with sorrows, perils and dangers. He saw the worst of human behavior,yet still kept his sanity and improtantly, his faith. An inspiring life.
Description of Karol: A Man Who Became Pope
1930s' Poland. 10-year-old Karol Wojtyla has dreams, many dreams. One by one they are shattered. First, by the loss of his beloved mother and brother. Then, by the outbreak of the war and the death-fleeing human exodus which ensued. And finally, by the first signs of the Jewish persecution. These events will mark the start of Karol's long journey from worker, to poet and teacher. A journey full of encounters that eventually leads him to become a priest and finally, in 1978, to become the man we all now know, a man who has marked an era, a man who has made history as Pope John Paul II. With an extraordinary soundtrack by multi-award winner Ennio Morricone.Italy DVDs
