What sort of agenda did you think the movie had? I suppose there's a slight humanist agenda, since it portrays nearly all the characters pursuing goals that probably aren't considered the ideal religious goals.
- pchristensen 2y agoThe thread of conservative vs progressive cardinals and factions goes through the whole movie, but the ending is the most "agenda" part (although handled subtly).
- rightbyte 2y agoI would say it is rather condemning vs forgiving?
- tshaddox 2y agoThe ending reveal doesn't even fit neatly into the hot-button American political issue you're associating it with. The film is clearly trying to make the viewer work out their view on the issue, and I think the film takes essentially no stance (unless you think that not taking a strong stance in one direction constitutes endorsement of a different direction). Some might even say the film lacks courage, both by taking no stance on the issue and by presenting a scenario that only vaguely matches the hot-button American political issue.
