Movie Review : Die Päpstin / Pope Joan


Women have to stay at home and have no right to be educated. If they know too much their womb will shrink and they can't bear childrens. And because women should bear as much children as possible, the clergy does everything to keep women away from education.
But there exist one young woman, the daughter of a pastor, Johanna who doesn't want to live that way. Her mind thirst more and more knowledge. She loves reading, is interested in medecine and she understands the interpretations of verses from the Bible. That's the reason why she awoke the interest of an instructor from the near convent school who teaches her as far as it was possible.
After that Johanna masquerated herself as a man and as monk she goes her way to the summit of the Christian community.

2 and 1/2 hour, I was rivetted on this movie. This drama really touched my heart and I was deeply moved. It shows how cruel the clergy can be and how men thought of women and what they made to get their way. It's fascinating how Johanna lives among the monks without being discovered and gets the honor she deserves for who she is and what she can. Without living as a man, she had never gotten the honor of any of those men.
If you like critical movies, than this movie is perfect for you.

Worries, pleaures and other stuff

Hey people. Couldn't write the last days because I felt too bad. No, I was not sick or too depressed to write, but I got the message from a good friend of the family (yeah he's kind of my 'second mum') that his niece , 4 years old, had a tumour in her head and had to be operated as fast as possible. The doctors could get out around 60% of the tumour and at the moment she's really good. I hope things won't change so that she gets better soon.
Yesterday my grandparents came back from Portugal and because we went out for dinner with them I totally distroyed my diet... Such a shame... Now I have to do more sport =/
A good thing was that I saw New Moon, but well it was good. No question. But, well I have to admit that it didn't come up to my expectations. I wanted more Bella/Jacob relation and more wolf pack action. I loved the part when Jake told Bella that they can't be friends anymore. That was so...CAPTURING!!! And NO I'm not against vampires. I'm a huge vampire fan. Just my favorite books are in my new decorated bedroom and they are ALL vampire books. And Twilight I have twice (I know I'm loony). One time in German and one time in English.
Well enough gibberish. Go to the cinema and watch it yourself!! ^___~ Cinema is alwas cool and if it's a Twilight Movie it is even better!

Oh Twilight. Good point. I found something REALLY funny. (well I think it's funny and I definately want to see more). I decided to post the video.
