Trump, Melania Trump, Win Wenders<br \/>\nScreened at: Review 2, NYC, 5\/14\/18<br \/>\nOpens: May 18, 2018<\/p>\n<p>As an occasionally lapsed member of PETA, I have a favorite saint, which of course would be St. Francis. He once had birds surround him, intrigued by the power of his voice. As he preached, not one of them flew away. He is often portrayed with a bird, typically in his hand. Even more sensational, in the city of Gubbio, where Francis lived for some time, was a wolf &#8220;terrifying and ferocious, who devoured men as well as animals.&#8221; Francis had compassion upon the townsfolk, and so he went up into the hills to find the wolf. Soon, fear of the animal had caused all his companions to flee, though Francis pressed on. When he found the wolf, he made the sign of the cross and commanded the wolf to come to him and hurt no one. Miraculously the wolf closed his jaws and lay down at Francis&#8217; feet, at which time he lectured the animal, warning him to stop devouring the aforementioned men and animals.<\/p>\n<p>Given my affection for the man who did his good deeds during the first half of the 13th Century, I\u2019m surprised that no other pope beginning with the first one, St. Peter, took his name, though a few were members of the Franciscan order. What impressed the current holder of the office most is arguably his medieval namesake\u2019s embrace of poverty. Though the son of a rich silk merchant whose father gave him (if you\u2019ll allow) hell for hand alms to the poor, he redeemed himself from the sinful life of the haute bourgeoisie by giving himself to a life of poverty. For his part, Pope Francis eschewed living in luxury, instead resting his head in a small apartment near the Vatican\u2014at least when he is not traveling outside Argentina to places like Bangui in the Central African Republic and the favelas of Rio, where somehow the residents are not especially pleased with their own penurious condition. The Cariocas on display in this documentary do not consider picking up food and clothes dropped by the neighborhood dumpster to be an act of holiness, and would probably give up their chance to go through the eye of a needle if by consolation they could dine on oysters at Marius Degustare\u2019s place at Avenida Atlantica 290.<\/p>\n<p>Wim Wenders, whose best work in my view is the mystical \u201cWings of Desire,\u201d spends much of his time listening to Pope Francis one-on-one, where the Pontiff elucidates his philosophy without the buzz of the tens of thousands of people he gathers whenever he visits a foreign country, blesses the crowd at the Vatican, or entrances the multitude in his own Buenos Aires. He is called a charismatic man, but would surely not be classified with JFK or Churchill as a rousing speaker. Rather, his charisma, his hold on vast numbers of Catholics and other too, comes from the fact that, well, he does hold the highest office in the Church and receives a pope\u2019s share of publicity.<\/p>\n<p>What are his views? Principally, though he extols his 13th Century namesake for choosing poverty, and is angry at the world\u2019s inequality, wherein 20% of the global population holds 80% of its wealth. (Even more dramatic statistics come out of the U.S.)<br \/>\nAlso he wants governments to build bridges, not walls, wants people to stop ruining their mental health by getting off the accelerator because \u201cwe\u2019re not machines,\u201d and praises Judaism for founding the Shabbat when no work is done. Gays? He tells people on a special flight that \u201cWho am I to judge?\u201dand wants couples whose arguments sometimes lead to \u201cplates flying\u201d (which draws a big laugh from the audience though if you or I said this there would be stony silence), to make peace before bedtime. Unlike U.S. politicians who preach to the middle class but act to enrich the upper classes, his constituency is the poor.<\/p>\n<p>With all these praiseworthy beliefs in his DNA, it\u2019s no wonder that, as he puts it, the cardinals sought him out \u201cfrom the end of the world,\u201d meaning Argentina.<\/p>\n<p>Also impressive is director Wenders\u2019 use of his and Lisa Rinzler\u2019s shoots in Assisi, black-and-white, deliberately faded and silent film, showing an actor playing St. Francis who at the key point in his life heard God tell him to restore a dilapidated church\u2014which I believe he did thinking that God\u2019s will is more important than his father\u2019s rage at the saint\u2019s alleged throwing away his money.<\/p>\n<p>The film got added publicity five days before its May 18th opening when CBS\u2019 Sixty Minutes showed excerpts. Now if the movie crowd is anything like the 10,000 folks who line up every time he speaks, the box office should exceed that of \u201cBlack Panther.\u201d After all, what other movie has a cast that includes Barack Obama, Donald J. Trump, Melania Trump, Simon Peres (hugging Abu Mazen, believe it or not), Vladimir Putin, Angela Merkel, John Kerry, John Boehner, Joe Biden, and hundreds of extras in the U.S. Congress who give the pope standing ovations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unrated. 96 minutes. \u00a9 2018 by Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Story \u2013 B<br \/>\nActing \u2013 B<br \/>\nTechnical \u2013 B+<br \/>\nOverall \u2013 B<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>POPE FRANCIS: A MAN OF HIS WORD Focus Features Reviewed by: Harvey Karten Director: Wim Wenders, David Rosier Screenwriter: Wim Wenders Cast: Pope Francis, Recep Tayvip Erdogan, John Kerry, Angela Merkel, Barack Obama, Shimon Peres, Vladimir Putin, Donald J.
