La Résistance | |
| Pope John Paul II / int_34dd5f3 | comment |
La Résistance: Wojtyla’s secret seminary training, outlawed by the Nazi occupiers during World War II. Also the religious procession he orchestrated in the 1960s under Soviet rule, which banned public displays of religious images. So the procession used an empty picture frame that the Black Madonna is usually placed in. The Polish Home Army, who fare no better under the post-World War II Communists than they did under the wartime Nazis: | |

Bookworm: When laughed at for reading poetry during his work in a wartime Nazi quarry, Wojtyla jokes “Man does not live by rocks alone!” | |

Flashback | |
| Pope John Paul II / int_53c9fc92 | comment |
Flashback: Much of the film is told as a flashback, since it opens with the 1981 assassination attempt. | |

Actual Pacifist | |
| Pope John Paul II / int_557a31ce | comment |
Actual Pacifist: John Paul was horrified by the violence he witnessed throughout his life, i.e. in Poland under World War II's Nazis and then afterwards under post-war Soviet rule, and then as the international figure of Pope. He saw the new millennium as an opportunity for humanity to strive for peace between nations. There’s a late-World War II scene in the first part of the movie where his friend Marek sneaks up on and kills two Nazis, and Wojtyla is clearly shocked by this act. | |

Puppet King: Well, bishop. Averted, as Karol is appointed Archbishop of Krakow because of his reputation as a stuffy intellectual who cares more about books and hiking than about social change. Whoops. | |

Rule-Abiding Rebel | |
| Pope John Paul II / int_7db984b1 | comment |
Rule-Abiding Rebel: When the early 1950s Polish Communists suddenly order Fr. Wojtyla, then a counselor to Krakow collegians, and his friends off a newly-forbidden piece of land, Karol assures them "yes, yes, we will go.” But they didn’t tell him how to leave, so they depart via canoe down the river. | |

Dirty Communists | |
| Pope John Paul II / int_9c47b23b | comment |
Dirty Communists: John Paul II is given a great deal of credit for the fall of Communism, and the movie emphasizes this. When his fellow laborers during World War II's early months express hope that Communist Russia will free them from the Nazis, Wojtyla says that “the Communists will never bring freedom, not for us, nor for anyone... I read their book. It's called 'The Manifesto' … They have created a religion, a religion that is based on Man as its center. For Communists, God doesn't exist. Neither does a human soul. They say they are for the workers but only if they'll give up their freedom and substitute God with the state.” | |

Turbulent Priest | |
| Pope John Paul II / int_e2abcbfd | comment |
Turbulent Priest: John Paul II, naturally, but also Krakow's Archbishop Adam Stefan Sapieha of Krakow, who causes the then-new post-World War II Soviet officials in 1945 to mutter “this priest (Sapieha) has got to be removed!” When Fr. Karol takes his friends outside the city, they refer to him as "uncle", since it was forbidden for priests to preach outside of a church. | |
