I mean, is he dead for real, though? Because the show is called "The Young Pope" and isn't there going to be a 2nd season? Are they gonna get another young Pope to take his place? That said, holy poo poo this series. Incredible

He's passed out before, in the arms of Esther. I didn't read him dying necessarily in the last scene of the show.

The news was confirmed by producer Lorenzo Mieli Wildside that with Sky, HBO, Canal +, Haute t Court TV and MediaPro has put together a 40 million euro budget for a production with great ambitions.

I totally thought he died as I was watching it. But season 2, so obviously not. Unless they pull some ressurection poo poo or something which I wouldn't put past this weird show.

Just finished the last episode and now I know I made the right choice in buying a new TV just to watch this show.  Caufman posted:I did notice that. In one of the shots, you can even see Las Mudas Cantina written on the front of one of the buildings. Ha, had I cheated and read the first page I wouldn't have even posted this in hindsight. But some of us do try and follow rules, though

CountFosco posted:That speech is riddled with heresy. Absolutely riddled. quote:You want to look me in my face? Go see God first! It was an awesome speech and just the thing a Pope would say if a Pope decided "it would be awesome if we started our own Catholic State of Latium and Campania", sure to bring out the zealots. But it felt outright heretical at several points.

At times it feels like he's winging it but at others it feels like he's been playing the long con for like 30 years and knows exactly where he's going, which would invalidate his entire journey of self-discovery throughout the whole season. He's made it very clear he knows exactly how he presents himself and how he's perceived by others, so some of these "revelations" he's had about his duty as pope would have been arbitrary and beneath his intellectual station. Really makes one wonder what his ultimate goal is. I'm really appreciating the symbolism in this show, in particular the one shot of him collapsing into Esther's arms in a way reminiscent of La Pieta, which received significant attention in the first couple of episodes. What the gently caress did they do to the false prophet with the stigmata??

I found it pretty hard to slog through the first few episodes of this show, tedious, tedious, tedious. Like Wes Anderson, but oh god, tedious. But I did and really ended up liking it. What a bizarre and beautiful show! I dont know why the world really needed Italian Wes Anderson Magical Realism An Orphan Becomes A Human Being As Pope, but it was a joy to watch (and listen to! That music!).

It's just shorthand for "I don't watch a lot of movies and it's sorta quirky and arty" I think haha. Someone said the same thing about the first ep of Legion in that thread.

No, no, no. Half the scenes in the young pope were the sort of very-centered, very symmetrical, very painstakingly staged and framed shots that you see all the time in wes anderson's "symmetry porn." hakimashou fucked around with this message at 12:05 on Feb 17, 2017 |

Do you think people are unfamiliar with Wes Anderson? This isn't like him. Just very broadly, Wes Anderson stuff is more kitschy and cute, and this is more art house. And I'm not putting down what Wes Anderson does. He's great

As soon as I read this tweet I started hoping and praying it turned out to be Burke and what do you know, it was! Bahahaha that's wonderful news. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy. It would be pretty rad if Francis secretly watches this show and was like hell yeah that's the way to deal with some assholes and poof off Burke goes. What a drat fine show. I wasn't sure at all what to make of it after the first 2 or 3 episodes but almost every scene thereafter just had me completely captivated. Can't wait to see what they do with season 2

I just realized that Cardinal Marivaux (who is selling the sainthood of the Blessed Juana to the pope?) is played by the same actor that was Reichsminister Heusmann in Man in the High Castle.
