After the death of Pope Francis on Easter on Monday at the age of 88, people around the world I found new interest in Edward Berger 2024 “Conclave”, “ Who tells a fictional version of the new leader of the Catholic Church. “Conclave” was luxuriously filmed and characterized by incredible actors, including Ralph Venice, Isabella Russellini, Stanley Tuchi and John Litjjo, all of them playing at the top of their game, but with events in the real world in Rome that lead us towards our own group, our fans must wonder-at accuracy, ”

Well, it is complicated. The film sought accuracy in terms of fashion, location and party from Konaklaf, although the process was shrouded in its secret for hundreds of years. Interviews with Catholic officials and researchers revealed that although certain elements of the story are unrealistic, “Inclave” in general is an incredible peek in the mysterious world in the Vatican and the choice of the new Pope.

“Conclave,” who won The best scenario was adapted to the 2025 Academy Awards She relied on her movie for Peter Stradan, on the 2016 novel of the same name by the well -known historical imagination author Robert Harris. Harris began his career other than imagination and journalism before resorting to historical excitement, which made an effort to maintain some historical accuracy while telling the mystery of twisting. For “Conclave”, Harris worked directly with the Cardinal Corveh Murphy Occor, who participated in 2005 and 2013 corresponding to the Pope Benedict and Francis, which is a very wonderful vision about how everything works.

Stradjan and filmmakers were also given a tour of the Sistine Church, where elegance is held, to help them re -establish the Holy Chamber of the movie groups and give Strawan a sense of the room when writing. Straghan Oscar’s victory was goodWhen he took the movie Harris Curching Churriller and adapting it to the screen without trying to change a lot. Cardinal Lumily Cardinal Lawrence becomes to accommodate the wonderful casting of Ralph Finn, but otherwise, it is a largely direct adaptation. Not only that, but Straughan has a lot of experience in bringing historically affected stories, after I wrote a written scenario for “Tinker Tinker Soldier Spy” and “The Men staring at goats.”

In “Conclave”, Cardinal Lawrence is placed responsible for the side of the sideWhere he leads the Cardro (the highest officials in the clergy alongside the Holy Father, the Pope) in isolation to choose a new leader. There are serious political divisions in the movie, because some Cardinals have very conservative ideas on how to manage the church, while others want to continue the legacy of the late Pope and more advanced growth with the times. It is a particularly relevant feeling given by Pope Francis’s humanitarian approach, letting everyone wonder whether conservative Cardinals will try to restore matters to less enlightening time.

While some of the film’s critics said that it announces the church more than necessary, which puts American policy on a Catholic framework, the divisional reaction to the film between Catholics indicates the reality that may be more comfortable. For example, conservative bishop Robert Baron told his followers on social media to avoid the film because of the “wake” messages “of diversity and integration” (it is certain that Jesus will have some ideas about that), while the Catholic cinematic critic Zakari Lee praised him enthusiastically, and says that he “makes” a convincing and exciting invitation to a renewed spiritual study that distinguishes it. ” the Realistic currency In competing that the next Pope they vary ideologically like those in “Conclave”, which can make this specific range a special challenge.

People will always argue about theology and politics, but what about the most tangible elements of “Conclave”? According to researchers in CNNMany large and small rituals surrounding the transgender were accurate, from the upcoming Cardinals who gathered abroad to get quick smoke of the complex rules surrounding the vote of the Pope, which was conducted at the Sistine Church. All sites are not impressive, from the Sistine chapel with the amazing Michelegralo artwork on their roof to the Domus Sangae Marthae, where the Cardina remains through Conclave, presented by a team of nuns.

The accurate accuracy is the sealing of the deceased Pope’s room after removing its body, checking the Sistine Church of the listening devices, isolating the exact accuracy of the crusher, and the performance of the Latin right -wing is the constitutional oath by the Cardinals before each vote, and the use of various chemicals to change the color of smoke that rises from the burning voting cards: black in order not to have a white decision to show that it is one of the loved ones. There were some contradictions with how to arrange some tables and some minor problems with things such as the frequency of smoke, although it is likely to have to do with simplifying the novel’s novel.

Most of the vote in “Inclave” is accurate, where all those concerned must continue to vote until they reach a majority of 2/3, write their options on paper polling cards and swear before God. One of the different details is that there are already two voices daily, not only, and every vote is burned, which leads to smoking twice every day instead of the photographer once in the movie. (Frankly, it makes sense to simplify it to one vote per day, for the purposes of telling stories.)

The inaccuracy of the other simple that the Vatican experts called the ring of the deceased Pope, the fisherman’s episode. In the movie it is carefully removed from the Pope’s hand before being taken into the state, but it is particularly destroyed. In real life, there is a special ceremony on the destruction of the previous Pope’s episode, to ensure that there is no official data from the “Pope” that could occur after his death and before the new Pope climbed. Once again, this may have been the issue of simplifying the story, although it was interesting to see the mysterious party on the screen.

The most precision comes in “Inclave” from the inclusion of the Cardinal Benitez (Carlos Daez), who was working as the head of Kabul’s bishops, Afghanistan, and is accepted in the closest although he was secretly confirmed (in the Pent). According to Reverend Thomas Reese, a great analyst in the service of news, religion, “The biggest mistake in the movie was to accept the Cardinal in Pectute on the side. This means that it will be impossible for the Cardinal Benitez participating in the flavor at all, rather than accepting it almost immediately as it happens in the movie.

What about The final movie developed and the final selection Pope of this new Pope? Catholics are just divided like the rest of the movie, so the “accuracy” is in the eye of the beholder.
