im hypocritical as fuckkkk idgaf if a driver i like wins with the fastest car then yes it's partially the car but also you need to be insanely talented to drive it well and not let the pressure get to you. if a driver i don't like wins with the fastest car he's a fraud and he's mid and he wouldn't have won without it. like i don't care actually 😭

Any idiot can like something thats good. It takes a real genius to like things that suck ass

I don't think enough people are talking about what Carlos said in an interview he gave yesterday, about how Benítez views the more conservative/reactionary cardinals as scared, angry children that just need someone to give them certainty and reassurance, that's why he was so patient and yet firm with Tedesco, he saw a frightened child that needed guidance, that's why he was the best choice to be pope btw, because he saw the people with views that contradict his own not as enemies, but as children he needed to guide, not with arrogance but with mercy, patience and love 🤧

Also, I love Carlos even more for adding this depth to Benítez, a character that's already so amazing got even more interesting after what he said

When Benitez was advocating for Lomeli in the book or something 🧍‍♀️

[toothlickpick]

the conclave book constantly emphasizes how being a pope is basically a lonely death sentence. cardinals close to being elected pope are isolated out of respect and awe, popes can't go out to eat at their favorite restaurants or go on strolls, they're constantly targeted as the head of the church etc..

the book frames benitez as, literally and symbolically, a 60ish year old boy who has no idea what hes getting into. he stumbles to think of a name when he gets elected pope, begs lomelli to stay with him to guide him, and even the smallest papal clothes literally do not fit him because he's so tiny. he's framed with a childlike awe and openness needed to lead the church through dark and cynical times

i think another genius moment for the movie is that it frames benitez in almost the opposite direction. movie benitez is quiet and contemplative. he likes lomelli, but in the same way an angel would favor a prophet. he's the only one to care about His Holiness' turtles and see their virtue despite their apparent stupidity, which is obviously a reflection of how His Holiness saw the cardinals and the rest of the Kingdom of God. From the very beginning, he is isolated from the other cardinals, never really shown to discuss things with anyone other than lawrence. In the end when he scolds tedesco, you dont get the impression of a wise childlike figure speaking up against a bully, you get the impression of moses telling ramses to let his people go.

and in the end when movie benitez is elected pope, he pauses. he refuses to get dressed until lawrence sees him about the one issue he knows will be a problem. he comes into the papacy knowing he will make a great sacrifice, and he treats it that way.

tldr book benitez is a 60ish year old boy wearing papal clothes too big for him to fully handle, movie benitez is a man walking up cavalry hill, both are my babies, thank you for coming to my ted talk
