Last night, I watched parts of the John Paul II miniseries on CBS. While it's good to see some films that document historical figures, there is something about this film that I don't really like. First of all, some of the Polish accents are horrible--I spent my summer in Poland and Polish accents do not sound like that. Other times, it was too melodramatic for my taste...

I guess I am more of a documentary girl. While I credit Jon Voigt and the other actors for tackling a difficult role, it's really hard to capture the spirit of someone. I think it would have been better if there was a documentary that had interviews and footage of the Pope's previous speeches. To me, documentaries are more real to me rather than sappy, melodramatic movies.

But, I guess to thine own self be true.
