In the months following the death of John Paul, television studios rushed to be the first to produce a film about his life. There was also the inflated hype over a bio-pic by Mel Gibson, after rumors were circulated that he had sent a crew to film the funeral.The first film to be completed was actually an Italian movie, produced by Taudue Films, entitled Karol: a Man who became Pope. Directed by Giacomo Battiato, it told the story of Karol Wojtyla’s younger years under Nazi occupation, then as a priest and bishop. The film ends with his election to the papacy, actually using TV footage of the real pope’s speech to the people of Rome. The movie had been started before his death, and completed shortly after.The second TV movie I came across was a film, simply titled Pope John Paul II,(available on DVD from CBS, 0) starring Jon Voight and Cary Elwes (as the older and younger Wojtyla, respectively.) This film spanned his entire life, starting at roughly the same time period as Karol. Following the death of John Paul, the makers of Karol decided to complete the story and film his papacy, in a movie called Karol: the Pope, the Man.(The complete miniseries is available in Canada on DVD August 4th for about 0.) Taking up where the previous film left off, it documents his struggle against communism (he visited Poland twice before its collapse, and once immediately after,) as well as pivotal moments of his papacy (such as the assassination attempt.) The film also documents several other prominent Catholics and their relations with John Paul, including Archbishop Oscar Romero, Polish priest and martyr Jerzy Popieluszko, and Mother Teresa, in subplots intertwined with the main story.The Karol miniseries is undoubtably the finer of the two films. Perhaps its greatest strength is the believability of Piotr Adamczyk, a 34-year-old Polish actor who carries the role of Pope John Paul to perfection. Unlike the other film, this one actor (who presumably didn’t expect to make an entire second film under old-age makeup) makes Karol endearing, courageous, funny - he simply brings to life this Pope we all had a connection with. You feel you’ve known the guy your whole life. Where the Voight film supercedes Karol is in its attention to historical details. For instance, the writers of Karol found it necessary to invent a main character, one Father Tomasz Zaleski, who I think is a composite character. In the words of George Weigel, he was a complete invention
