DVD Reviews of Padre Pio:Between Heaven and Earth
DVD Review: This is the comedy film of the century - we laughed so hard!
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a Catholic who has spent a great deal time in Italy and can assure you that this film gives a bad name to "b" movies. It was like a spoof on Padre Pio making him appear like a wimpy caricature of himself. The first thing you notice is that the main actor looks like the American Robert Wagner only older--and the poor viewer can't escape that thought throughout the film. For film students, this is an excellent example of poor casting, from the main characters all the way down to the minor roles. Shame on you, Ignatius Press, for hyping up this piece of bumbling amateurism and ripping off countless good-faith buyers. There were some absolutely silly moments, including a struggle with the devil which leaves the audience just hoping the fake Pio will get his katouzy kicked! Throughout the film, Padre Pio is so wimpish that the viewer soon wonders why he doesn't just stay in a fetal position the whole time. The make-up is ridiculous, even the costuming. The Franciscans have the wrong hair cuts and look like a bunch of bewildered buffoons without a spine. Another Franciscan looks like something out of one of Molière's comedies with giant, oversize black horn-rimmed eyeglasses. At one point half-way through, Padre Pio starts wearing his cintura so high--just under his armpits--that he literally looks pregnant. Imagine a Franciscan habit with an Empire waist! No Catholic, no agnostic, no one period has any business looking at this film, unless you want a really good laugh. We don't feel bad about that, since we know we are not laughing at the real Padre Pio, but a complete misrepresentation of him. You would think the film was produced by a complete atheist who didn't know a thing about the Church and who merely wanted to "cash in" on the Padre Pio industry--rather like Ignatius Press. Time to withdraw support from Ignatius Press, one of the biggest rip-off companies in the U.S.. This film shows how little the man-made religion of Vatican II has in common with Catholicism.
Description of Padre Pio:Between Heaven and Earth
Based on the historical records and the personal testimony of his fellow friars, this is the amazing true story of the life of the famous stigmatic monk, St. Padre Pio, a contemporary saint who died in 1968. Blessed with incredible spiritual gifts, including healing, bi-location, reading of souls and the stigmatic wounds, Padre Pio was a powerful witness for Christ, and a great spiritual guide to countless souls for over fifty years. Filmed on location in Italy, starring Michele Placido in a moving performance, this film tells the whole story of the beloved monk from San Giovanni Rotondo, a place where millions of pilgrims now go annually to visit Padre Pio's grave. Music by legendary music composer Ennio Morricone.This DVD contains the following language tracks: English and Italian language, Spanish & English subtitles.
