I have just finished watching Two Popes on Netflix.

Best movie I have seen in long time. A must watch again and again film for those little tidbits about belief in God.

Try to catch this film, you won’t regret spending 125 minutes in this cerebral with full of humour and heartwarming movie.  It was a bromance and loved it.

There were plenty of little gems like:

When no one is to blame, everyone is to blame.

Pope Benedict XVI

Hopkins and Price are two of the best British actors ever.

I cried so much. Pssst! Pope Benedict has always been my favourite. I like that he is cerebral. I bought two of his books. It made me cry harder when he said that at a very young age he’d always felt the presence of God. He was always alone but never lonely. cry cry cry. Then before his abdication, he said lately, he does not hear God anymore. cry cry cry.

I have to say that I did watch Parasite and that I was blown how good the film was but comparing it to Two Popes, the later is superior.  The Two Popes should have won Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor or rather Hopkins and Price should have tied for Best Actors.

This film is a must and hurrah, available on Netflix.

I am still rather overwrought summary of the story.

Watch this space.
