Looking Back: First Time in The Big Apple

Our upcoming family vacation will be in the Big Apple. It would be our second visit. During our first visit, we attended a Celine Dion concert, visited Wife's family, sight-saw the Big Apple for a grand total of 10 hours. We drove to Manhattan on one day and took the train there on another day. Driving in the Big Apple – especially Manhattan – was quite the experience I do not wish to repeat. That's why the upcoming vacation will be a guided tour. 

So what happened the first time?

Papal Conclave – As seen on "Conclave"

In the preceding entry, I covered the conclave process as depicted in The Two Popes and The New Pope. This entry continues with Conclave, where the story is set almost entirely within the timeline of a papal conclave. There is so much to describe from one film that a separate entry is required. There are plenty of spoilers here. Do not read any further if you do not want to know. 

Papal Conclave – As seen on "The Two Popes" & "The New Pope"

The recent passing of Pope Francis’ led to 283% and 417% spikes in viewership of the films Conclave and The Two Popes respectively. What better opportunity to check out both critically acclaimed films and to satisfy a personal curiosity: how is the selection of the next pope aka papal conclave depicted in the big and small screens? It takes up nearly the entirety of Conclave, while two of such is shown in The Two Popes.
