Okay, so Conclave (2024) is an absolutely amazing movie - and book, by the way - that is absolutely ripe with symbolism so thick it would take days to fully dig into it

But also there is nothing funnier to me than Lawrence spending the entire movie doubting his faith and wishing for a sign from God, and trying his damnedest to get everyone to vote for literally ANYONE but him, and the second he allows himself a brief moment of solipsism and votes for himself God literally blows the roof up over his head like a driving instructor grabbing a student’s steering wheel to keep him from T-boning another car

Like, literally, Lawrence went, “Adeyemi’s a statutory rapist, Tremblay bribed cardinals, Bellini got bribed. Tedesco’s. Insane…. perhaps I am the one God has chosen to carry out this task. Perhaps I am the o-“

God, about to detonate a car bomb in the Piazza del Risorgimento : “LMAO sit your ass back down, Dean, you forgot someone”

like???

OKAY!!! WE GET IT!!! HE'S PRETTY!!!

[winter-wise]

Thomas Lawrence kneels to kiss the newly elected Innocent XIV's ring and the resulting internal monologue is so gay that Tedesco gets a homophobia-induced nosebleed even though he's several rooms over.

Queer people don’t even say ‘I love you’ anymore what the fuck is ‘I voted for you in every ballot’ ???
