Numa sala perto de mim #427

The Two Popes (2019) tells a story of a meeting of two old men facing important decisions with non-negligible consequences. Wonderfully written scenes, some with humor and wit, and some solemn and dark. Remarkable acting by Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce, both capable of truly moving moments. Because of the recent nature of documented events, much of the movie is faithful to well known facts. We will never know if some of the backstage scenes ever happened, but the poetic license in interpreting the underlying agreement of Ratzinger and Bergoglio comes out in good light and not necessarily in apologetic form of the centuries old institution that both represent. Overall it's a very well done movie.
