Excellent performance
3 April 2006
Thanks and congratulations to Mr. Voight for his wonderful performance. German actors attempted to play John Paul II, but without the dedication, respect and talent this parts requires. There are moments in this movie when you would think it IS John Paul, and that's remarkable. Jon Voight captured it all, the sense of humor, the movements, the suffering and the deep believe, the Pope's love for the youth and his political awareness and sensibility. And I am sure, it needs some courage to play the dying pope in his very last moments. But Jon Voight managed it all. Thanks to this tribute to a great, really great man.
