My 11 year-old boy watched both from start to finish with me, and said he wants to be a priest.

Crazy 60s.

Life is about sports, beach, pool, and icecream; vocations are made using sentimental kitsch propaganda.

I thought it was a realistic portrayal, not sentimental nor propaganda (in the derogatory sense of the term).

I have not watched the second one yet but I agree, the first one was pretty real - at least about as well as I can remember it. Heck, it was only a few years after this video was made that the seminaries started emptying out. Seminarians were leaving the seminaries and priests were leaving the priesthood, tons of fem liberal priests came seemingly out of nowhere and with that, the beginning of the crisis was upon us. Sad that so many otherwise faithful Catholics willingly abandoned the only religion they knew and embraced the new religion in such a short amount of time.
