slo’s TUESDAY 4/22 poll - Conclave (the movie)

[Imzadi]

I have not seen it and I’m not planning on seeing it. There are certain things that I don’t want to have tainted for me by a fictional movie.

This happened for me when I was a young teen and watched The Thornbirds, a fictionalized series on TV (and also a very popular novel.) It showed the political ambitions of some of those who spend their whole lives in pursuit of becoming archbishops, cardinals and aiming for the ultimate goal: Pope. It was one of the factors that changed my views of the Catholic church.

Still, I was planning on watching Conclave and still will when I get a chance.

I watched it because I’m a big fan of Ralph Fiennes. Wasn’t a big fan of this movie.

 

[tvguy]

Never heard of it. And now that I have, no interest in watching.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I might watch it. Not a big movie watcher here.

For those with Amazon Prime, it is free to watch.

The book was excellent but won't bother with the film.

DH and I were talking about watching it since the Pope died. We probably will at some point.

I really liked the book. I watched the movie and it didn't seem the same. The movie was okay but felt like something was missing.

Edited for spelling error.

I have no plans to watch it, but if someone else in my house wanted to, I might.

I watched it on a flight earlier this month.

The ending has a twist that was unexpected.

But otherwise, I thought it was a good movie depicting a very believable inner process of electing a new pope.

And I work at our Catholic Church.

Yes, that is good to know. Other people previously said it was $6. They must have just dropped the price.

I thought the visuals and cinematography were beautiful in the movie but the trailers called it a thriller and it was one of the most boring movies I have ever seen. At no point was it thrilling and it’s just a procedural about what they think happens in the Sistine Chapel to elect the pope. No more exciting than watching C-span and the ending was just ugh maybe that was the “thriller” aspect.
