@darkbluemars actually there are many proofs for her existence. like that they don´t use the street where she has born the baby anymore for this festival (there is actually a document that says they don´t use it because of pope joan) but nobody is sure. it´s more than a legend, though ^^ (if you read the book you will find some more interesting information a the back. ^^)
@xXxXLoveMetalxXx Ha, yea I know... I didn't say that I expected the film to be better than the book. How could it be? I never have THAT high expectations of films....
You need to know your history to understand this story.
If you know that the position in this very dark and christian period was not good for being a woman, her brain was just as big as her woomb. Reading and writing was not allowed it was blasfemia. So many women disguised them as a man to have the chance to study. it is nog all through what has been mentioned in the book so please interpretation as a romantic and historical story. But it is great.
I am just reading the book at the moment, haven's seen film yet. It's quite scary and tense...no wonder that time is called Dark ages, so many horrible things were happening...
@JBWKZ12345 Maybe you mean the moral? If that's what you mean, I think there isn't any. I liked the movie, the main character does sort of a spiritual journey and she ends up being the pope... I liked it, but you have to know how to appreciate it...
I have the book and I love it. It's just that the movie is not available here in Philippines. Does anyone know where I can download it with subtitles?
@kaferchic That's what makes me wonder and also angry....This chick shows up a hundred and something years later and says she has written the book.....Which is A COPY of the Greek......I don't get it........
@OlgaGreece I would say it's really just her take on the story. It's not like Roidis just made up the whole thing; Pope Joan comes from legend. His book is also more of a comedy while Cross's is very serious. The beginning of her book is also very different from his, which is because Joan didn't really "step into history" until she reached Rome. So, everything in their books that is before Rome is their own story. Cross did her research for the book; she didn't just copy his book.
@kaferchic That's what makes me wonder....This chick shows up a hundred and something years later and says she has written the book.....Which is A COPY of the Greek......I don't get it........
I must see this film! The book is brilliant. I do not think that the film (or films, to be more correct, since there now are two) is as good as the book. the films can't be even near the book's brilliance. I must see the films... or I'll get crazy. the book is like a drug to me.
i think it's pitty that he dies in the end...(but somehow it served him rightXD-he's just too stupid running into the trap...i mean, shouldn't one become suspicious way earlier?? :P)
well i liked him or let's say Faramir before he decided to marry Eowyn ....i hate her *jealous* ;DD
^^ i sympathize with Joan much more than with Eowyn, she fits well to this Faramir- hybrid ;DD
hell yes! i though: "oh no, now he's geting killed" and booooooom - dead. so stupid :D i hate eowyn also... she's so girlie-girl-like :D (in german we say: pussy, but thats in english another meaning :D) mh i think joans hair cut (tonsur - in german :P) is really ugly. :D:D
This book was NOT from Donna Woolfolk Cross. This book was writen by a Greek writer, Emmanouil Roidis and published in 1866! So, it is a copy from the original!
I also wrote Gone with the Wind. Margaret Mitchell stole it. Lol! It does not matter. There were also many books about Marilyn MOnroe. Its always the same story just by another writer. And the legend of Joan existed also before Ms. Cross wrote it as a novel
I agree with these. Besides, in the 19th century, did not exist the intellectual rights.... Surely, this story, is real. As reality can be a history that passed from the 9th century up to the moment where it wrote in the 19th century by Emmanouil Roidis...

oh God more rubbish! Another Dan Brown may it? The evidence of the Female Pope is 0 to nothing because it was only noted when a few spectators said tha tthe Pope gave birth, other than that no one ever said...
I think it's because the movie is a German/US co-production... Johanna Wokalek who plays Joan is German. That's a good idea IMO as the real Joan was German, too (or at least lived where today is Germany ^.^).
But still they could have released an English trailer, too - wouldn't have been that hard if they filmed it in English...
The film has no US release date. Yes, it was filmed in English, but right now there's no English trailer. This is my way of trying to generate interested from the US fans. :)
