Add to a movie listKarol: A Man Who Became Pope (pl: Karol - Człowiek, który został Papieżem, it: Karol, un uomo diventato Papa) is a 2005 TV miniseries directed by Giacomo Battiato, and created as a Polish-Italian-French-German and Canadian joint cooperation project. Karol is a biography of Karol Wojtyła, later known as Pope John Paul II, beginning in 1939 when Karol was only 19 years old and ending at the Papal conclave, October 1978 that made him Pope.
The TV miniseries was supposed to première at the very beginning of April 2005 in the Vatican, but it was delayed due to the Pope's death. It was broadcast for the first time by the Italian television station Canale 5 on the first day of the 2005 papal election. Although it was originally broadcast on television, it was also released in theaters, which allowed the film to be shown in Poland.
The incredible success of the movie prompted the creation of a sequel, Karol: The Pope, The Man (2006), which portrayed Karol's life as Pope from his papal inauguration to his death.

Ce long métrage très apprécié sur le pape Jean-Paul II a été tourné en Italie et en Pologne. Axé sur la papauté de Jean-Paul II et l'impact considérable qu'il a eu sur l'Église et le monde, ce film met en vedette l'acteur Piotr Adamczyk dans un portrait profondément émouvant du pontife bien-aimé. Il s'agit de l'histoire vraie et puissante d'un leader spirituel charismatique qui a contribué à faire tomber le communisme, à renouveler la vie de l'Église, à insuffler aux jeunes du monde entier l'amour du Christ, et d'un pape qui a tendu la main aux autres religions et aux dirigeants du monde entier avec un message de paix et d'amour. Le film met également en vedette Raoul Bova (Saint François), Michele Placido (Padre Pio : Between Heaven and Earth) et Adriana Asti dans le rôle de Mère Teresa. La magnifique musique de film est signée du légendaire compositeur Ennio Morricone.

Le "RMS Laconia", qui vient de quitter le port, fait route vers l’Angleterre avec 2 000 passagers à son bord ainsi que 1 800 prisonniers italiens.

Cela fait, le sous-marin ne quitte pas immédiatement les lieux. Découvrant le sort des prisonniers italiens, mais aussi de civils, le capitaine, se référant à un code d’honneur maritime, ordonne l’organisation du sauvetage, arbore une croix rouge dans l’attente d’un bâtiment français envoyé par Vichy. Mille personnes seront sauvées. Peu après, ce sous-marin sera coulé par les forces alliées tandis que l’amiral allemand Dönitz signera le "Laconia order" interdisant à l’armée allemande de procéder au moindre sauvetage.
