Have No Fear: The Life of Pope John Paul II

Poet, actor, playwright, and a simple Polish priest, Karol Wojtyla (Thomas Kretschmann) believed the pomp of the Catholic Church was "a circus," and the Pope "a prisoner of the Vatican." But one day he would become Pope John Paul II, one of the greatest and most influential figures of the 20th Century. From his humble beginnings, he found inner strength and courage despite the death of his family, the rape of his beloved Poland by the Third Reich, and its later domination by the Communists. Among the world events covered in this inspiring chronicle is the shocking sexual abuse scandal of the American Catholic Church, the murder of El Salvador Archbishop Oscar Romero, and John Paul?s own near-assassination at the hand of a Turkish gunman. "You don?t have to be a Catholic or a believer of any kind to enjoy Have No Fear: The Life of Pope John Paul II." -- Wall Street Journal. more

Was John Paul II like this I don't think so!!!!

I don't understand why ABC broadcasted this movie, the only reason I find is that they tried to shadow CBS's own effort to conmemorate the life of John Paul II, but what they got was a cheap, bad performed version. When I saw it, I thought of it as an insult to the life of this Great Pope and...

Good Movie

This is a very quick, nitty gritty movie, but it is well acted and if you have no clue about his life, this will certainly fill you in and let you understand just how amazing of a man he was.
