Watch Ralph Fiennes Deliver a Startling Speech in ‘Conclave’ | Anatomy of a Scene
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 гру 2024
- The selection of a new pope is at the center of “Conclave,” the latest drama from the director Edward Berger (“All Quiet on the Western Front”). But while the setting is reverent, the movie finds its narrative propulsion in what its characters try to hide or, in this scene, what they surprisingly decide to express.
Ralph Fiennes plays Cardinal Lawrence, the dean of the College of Cardinals, the group that will elect a new pope. The character has operated on the sidelines for much of his time in the church, but something bolder happens here. He addresses the cardinals in a homily that starts formally and ends with personal expressions of doubt.
Narrating the scene, Berger said that it sets up Lawrence “as a character to be reckoned with. He delivers this speech that comes from his heart, and other cardinals, especially the ones with ambition to become the next pope, suddenly fear that there’s a new contender in the room.”

"Certainty is the great enemy of unity." What a great quote.
Agreed. It’s taken right from the Robert Harris novel it’s based on! :)
Aren’t you certain there’s gravity?
I think there are some axioms that are to be held as certain. This questionning of everything is for the weak
@@liviubora Sokal affair (1996?) all over again.
@@liviubora You've misinterpreted the subject of the "certainty" in this speech, confusing issues of the physical world with those of the spiritual, or psychological. No one here has questioned the laws of physics. As regards your conclusions about "weakness" being a symptom of those who question...you may want to start with the Greeks of Classical Antiquity, and proceed forward through the two subsequent millennia philosophical grappling. You will learn that to admit to "not knowing" once in awhile is a virtue and a sign of strength, not of weakness. Good luck on your road to wisdom.
Ultimate Boomer quote. You ruined the world with such utter rubbish.
Loved this movie. More of these mid-range budget adult films, please and thank you!
Great dialogs
LOL I think you mean mature film. Adult film means something else entirely.
@@FablestoneSeries Was waiting for this comment. Thankfully, everyone here knows what I mean.
@@thespenserdavis Everyone knows what an "adult movie" is. Conclave is not in that category.
We DON'T want propaganda shoved down our throats.
Watched this movie today and this scene was one of about 3 that moved me to tears cuz it resonated so much and even gave me some clarity on my own spiritual journey. Very deep.
Ditto~ so fantastic. I wanna see it again just to record that part
What do you mean by spiritual journey?
@@GaryM67-71 well God is true
But nobody should be duped into believing in God
Glad to hear I wasn't the only blubbering mess at this scene. Especially when the allegory with our current politics hit me like a ton of bricks.
LOL It's nothing but wokeism. Lacks the sincerity of of Chaplin's closing speed in "The Great Dictator." Now THAT was revolutionary, not this offensive piece of woke crap.
Brilliantly performed Thankyou Ralph Feinnes
LOVED LOVED LOVED this film❤️ Ralph is masterful, in every role.
Ralph Fiennes is a brilliant actor, and Conclave seems really interesting ♥️ Thank you for this video!
Love Ralph Fiennes. Always did.
outstanding movie! And that speech gave me goosebumps in the movie theatre and once again as I listened now! WOW!
"if there was only certainty and no doubt,there would be no mystery and therefore no need for faith"..we vote for Conclave
The sublime, little inflection of the voice when he says “faith”…
Such a great actor!
Saw the film today - have waited for this since I read the Robert Harris novel 6 yrs ago. Ralph Fiennes superb!
I'm reading it just now. Love RH
He SHALL be nominated.
sure but I doubt he will win even though it’s a great performance
People were outraged about Leo, meanwhile Ralph Fiennes still has no Oscar. Ridiculous.
@@wesleycruse9505 I’m hopeful he may win.
One small positive though in the morning can change your whole day. One small and profound statement in a movie like this can revolutionize your thinking. When I heard this line in the movie, I almost burst into tears. This movie was superb. Excellent analysis.
only to the naive.
Saw this movie 3 times. Loved the cinematography, the sound, the acting, and the story. Chef's kiss.
Fantastic movie all around. But it is this scene alone that makes the movie worth watching. Well done!
Never imagine i will be hook throughout the movie, no bathroom breaks, no popcorn just glued to the screen. Ver very nice movie. Congrats to everyone
🤣🤣 my theatre was nearly full and everybody sat still in their seats for the entire runtime then made a stampede for the toilets right after 🤣🤣 I could feel the urge about 3/4 through the film but I didn't want to leave my seat, thought I might miss something important since the film was fast paced with constant twists 🤣 it was also just beautiful just to watch the proceedings of the conclave, I'm glad the film did well with audiences. People do still want this kind of filmmaking.
That “piece of music” a you say, is Gregorio Allegri’s Miserere, very moving indeed even for non catholics or even non believers. A masterpiece indeed.
The director proves that he hasn't done his research properly though by claiming it was the only music played in the Sistine Chapel for hundreds of years. What he has misunderstood is the claim that it was never played anywhere else which may be true. Poor bewildered old soul no wonder his film is such a crock.
@@huolalupin6008 frfr 😂.
The English (or Anglican) version of Allegri Miserere is actually more popular than the original one and perhaps should be credited for causing the reemergence of the hymn.
@@huolalupin6008 According to Wikipedia, Mozart transcribed the notes down upon only hearing it once when he was in Sistine. Some English music publisher copied his notes when they encountered somewhere in the Continent and brought it to Britain. The hymn started to gain modern prominence when a Cambridge college choir published a record of the singing.
It isn’t a hymn. It’s psalmody. With embellishments, but still, a psalm sung over the same tune (mode) over and over. Not difficult for Mozart to write down. Allegri composed it for the choir of the Sistine Chapel, to be sung during the Triduum (Easter Liturgy) so quite what is it doing, opening a Conclave, it’s anyone’s guess. Then again, by now, thanks to Mozart, King’s College Choir and Tenebrae Singers it’s a well know (and worthy) peace of classical pop. Good if people learn a bit of it by heart, might be handy in Holy Purgatory (in Dante’s Commedia the Holy Souls chant it on their way to Heaven).
Go and watch it. He is phenomenal, just out of this world!
Ralph Fiennes, Voldemort to Cardinal ❤❤❤
Such an incredible actor.
He who must be awarded....
We gave too little credit to Robert Harris the author of the novel.
a film of great substance and a master class in film making. It deserves best picture, music, cinematography and actor awards
Ralph Nathaniel Twisleton-
Wykeham-Fiennes (born 22 December 1962) is an English actor, film producer, and director. He graduated from RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art) in 1985.
A Shakespeare interpreter, Fiennes excelled onstage at the Royal National Theatre before having further success at the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Widely regarded as one of Britain's most well-known and popular actors, he has received various accolades, including a BAFTA Award and a Tony Award, as well as nominations for two Academy Awards, seven Golden Globes, four Screen Actors Guild Awards and an Emmy Award.
This was not an opportunity to watch Ralph Fiennes give a startling speech. It was all the director talking over the top of the speech.
Give the man his Oscar already
He can, and does, play anything well. One of the finest actors working today.
I love the echo in his voice due to the size of the room. It give's his voice and especially what he is saying such weight as to anchor his feelings into the history of the actions of the Conclave.
Give this man an Oscar.
_Conclave_ is an extremely handsome film and the performances are great across the board. The ending revelation is unironically based, shedding light and provocatively challenging the audience that something of that nature perhaps isn't even the 1st occurrence throughout the Holy See's history.
Thank you for mentioning the fact that we don't know if this hasn't happened before. It may very well have done.
Conclave is a heretical movie
It’s 2024. That intersex guy ending is already a cliche.
@@alexandertorroThe Catholic it’s heretical just like the movie.
@@MiguelQuienComoEl
In what way is Catholosism heretical?
And where is the proof that it's heretical?
That speech deeply resonates with me.
Speaking over this speech feels wrong. Even as the director. It's so beautiful. ❤
I love his acting. Hes amazing. what an incredible fact about the music! wow.
One can only hope that this sort of deliberate nakedness could happen even once in hundreds of years within this institution.
I was hoping to hear the speech. Saw the movie and loved it
A movie about religion is one of the last things I want to watch, but I'd watch Fiennes in anything, really.
It’s sooo much more than religion. I’m not Catholic and I was deeply touched, spiritually. There is so much truth in this story and all the cast are superb.
@@gurugun8795 How I felt about The Two Popes, Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce
@@gurugun8795 oh so now wokeism is spiritual???
Awesome scene and movie, really hits you and gets to the core of power, ambition, and the faults in all of us
What an interesting explanation of this scene. Bravo to the Director for doing this so succinctly and elegantly. I am so looking forward to seeing this movie.
I read this book in 2016 and words failed to express how much I loved it. Awesome writing which obviously came from exacting research into the process of selecting a pope. And to know that Ralph Fiennes is starring, it’s gotta be a success at the box office.
Any Catholic grandma can tell you the process of selecting the pope 🤣.
FALSE. "As scripted by Peter Straughan, the movie gets canon law wrong, since promotions such as Benitez’s - traditionally known as nominations “in pectore” (within the chest) - are null and void if not publicly announced during the lifetime of the pope who made them. And Benedict XVI is implicitly slandered in the dialogue via an allusion to a past pontiff who fought for Hitler.
“Conclave” also traffics in sordid secrets of varying plausibility in the lead-up to a climactic revelation that many will find offensively exploitative, others merely loopy. Since this concerns a rare anatomical anomaly rather than any kind of lifestyle choice, its inclusion makes more of a symbolic statement than an ethical one - either acceptable or otherwise." -- John Mulderig, Catholic Review, Oct 11.
Wait, isn't this movie based on the 'Conclave' novel by Robert Harris? If so, why no mention of that in the description?
That chorus voices are incredible
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1, St. Paul... On a world such as ours, unity will always be unattainable. Mr. Fiennes gives an eloquent and convincing argument, not for unity, but for incoherence and its cascading incompatibilities which always seem to end in coercion and grudging silence... if not state-sponsored death. John Cardinal Newman understood this challenge and the nature of the development of doctrine which at its heart is the Life, Death, and Resurrection -- a true mystery.
What's the name of the song that the choir sings before Cardinal Lawrence's speech?
Thank you.
I’m certain that “Conclave” is an Oscar contender.
Perfection!!
I should go ahead and pay to watch this movie. I'm not a Catholic, a Christian of any type, or a Diest. I'm interested in myths and stories from all over. With tongue firmly in cheek, "It's a shame they couldn't get anybody good." What a cast!
Geez, would this narrator please shut up and just let us hear the speech ? I saw the movie yesterday and was mesmerized by Cardinal Lawrence's speech.
Not the point of the video. Just watch the movie again or look for a clip
Ah, that “narrator” was the director of the film, a possible Oscar nominee because of it. LOL but I get it. The speech was of Shakespearean proportions.
I watched the film last night. It’s the best thing I’ve seen in a while, and this scene is quite stunning. There’s interesting commentary here, but I’d really like to watch the speech in its entirety without interruption. Otherwise, great.
It also sets you up to doubt all of the cardinals, which really plays into the thriller side of the movie, and all of them really do give reason to doubt by the end.
So all these old men are actors or real life popes ?😊
They are all phenomenal
It’s all about the energy / air in the room
The music is the original Miserere Mei Deus by Allegri.
Thank you. Such a very beautiful choral piece.
..."certainty is the deadly enemy of tolerance"....enlightenment has finally made its way into the church...halleluja 😃
Only in the movie church...
There is nothing left to be tolerated if one integrates everything within one's certainty, which is the Catholic principle
Absolute truth gets distorted, twisted, perverted then extinguished. Be very careful what you're praising.
I will definitely watch this movie on Tuesday!
I loved this movie. It's not perfect but it's well made, well acted, compelling and even though I called the ending, I enjoyed the journey.
So, in this video the director will continually Pat himself on the back congratulating himself for a job well done.
Oh, Kent!
The title promised that we would get to see the speech. That’s a click-bait lie. Poor form.
No
This is one of the most GREAT movies I've ever seen 👌🙌The cast is top notch 👌
I’ve seen it three times, probably will see again. Nothing can compare to this, at this time!
You must have seen about ten in your life.
@@gurugun8795 Wokeism as lofty drama.
Is there somewhere we can actually hear this speech? I wanted to hear the speech, not the director. 😖
In the film?
A brilliant brilliant movie 👏💌

Ralph Fiennes should become a next POPE, colour of his voice is predestined for such position -)
Is this movie streaming now?
It should be a bad omen when Lord Voldemort is giving a homily while Lord Farquad watches…
“Watch Ralph Fiennes Deliver a Startling Speech” Nahhhh let’s instead listen to the Director talk over it the whole time.
If you want to see the film so much, you can support it by paying for it like a normal person.
The film scenes with directorial commentary video is a very well-established genre by now, so why are you complaining?
Watch the movie then
@@KnarfSteinbecause the title is click-baity, that's why he's complaining duh.. 😮💨
@KnarfStein I've seen the film and I agree that the title of thi clip is misleading clickbait
The music of Gregorio Allegri’s Miserere plasm 51 was written around 1638 and remained a secret so far it was not committed to paper so it could not be copied until a young Mozart visited Rome in 1770 and heard it in The Sistine Chapel and returned to his room and copied out the Psalm verbatim....and the rest is history
can someone twll me the piece of music referred to by the director?
Ralph Fiennes has great👍
Don't worry about Cartoon Network+The Miracle Maker series = are be voice actor of Simeon
Edward Berger, just a beginning
Ralph , Papa subito !
"We need you to take out four cardinals, Bond"
Wow!
From being Lord Voldemort to being a Cardinal 😅😅😅
Saw it in theatre last week. Highly entertaining and fascinating film, although the ending is weak.
Very.
Same with the novel.
The new pope is really a woman.
@@a.t.c.3862spoiler warning
@@a.t.c.3862spoiler !!! I’m glad that i saw it 😡. But now the end is ruined for those who did not see it
@@a.t.c.3862spoiler alert. The new pope isn't a woman.
Really wish the narrator would hush so we can hear the speech
His management of the Conclave will be studied at business schools for decades to come.
He says certainty is a dangerous thing, and then spends the rest of the film trying to be certain about everything, to the point of bending the rules. All humans want certainty and have it about some things, but it’s a question of what types of things you are certain about. The papacy and the Magisterium rely on a specific kind of certainty for their existence, whereas certainty in other matters may be seen as dangerous. So, it’s a good scene in a movie, much like the speech by the Bishop of Kabul at the end of the film, but there are so many philosophical issues behind this which don’t get addressed in the film and really can’t be addressed in this type of film.
Days later, the movie reminded me of the "certainty" discussion in "Buster Scruggs": remember? ua-cam.com/video/KYa2b3T0qLI/v-deo.htmlsi=RuHpN1hgkPKlA9Bs
It must be a piece by Palestrina.
Absolutely, doubtful Thomas who questioned the resurrection of Jesus
❤
Why not cut the narrative and let us hear the speech? Except for a brief intro, it's totally unnecessary.
Allegri's Miserere
Who are the non Roman Catholic looking guys in the college of the cardinals
Eastern Patriarchs. When you refer to "Roman Catholic" that is a misnomer term invented anti-Catholics to actually refer to "Latin Rite Catholic", which comprises about 98% of the world's Catholics, but other rites include Maronite Catholics, Ruthenian Catholics, Syriac Catholics etc

Watch the speech…. And yet we hear very little of it because of the voice over.
The greatest sin is certainty
It would have been more effective if you had done your intro and then let us hear his whole speech, Italian and English. It's a shame to upstage him and then cut him off. Kind of swallows your point, doesn't it?
This is labeled as a clip of Ray Fiennes giving the speech; some narrator injecys themselves and explains the scene instead of allowing us to watch and hear the speech. Absurd!
No. We should NOT doubt. We should always strive for GREATER certainty. In God's love, His wisdom, His provision. HIS EXISTENCE. The reason you all are praising this is strange to me, as if you are RELIEVED that there is no truth to stand on??? Or that you're tired of disagreement with others? Someone enlighten me, please.
I don't think we should have 100 percent faith in OURSELVES, but we should never doubt God.
If that's what the director was going for, it should be made more clear. Otherwise, it is actually a sly trick of the devil to support us in pulling AWAY from God rather than TOWARD him.
When absolute truth is ignored, man's truth steps in. I credit Kris Vallotan from Bethel Church for reminding me of that.
Blessings, Believers.
Wrong on so many counts:
"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;"
Tucci is honestly the weakest cast member in this, and he’s still great.
Get a new title for the video. We don’t hear the speech. Directors explanation of actors speech.
Very moving scene if you're a Catholic...but for Protestants it's just that...a movie. NEXT!
I'm a member of the Reformed church, and I found the book utterly compelling when I read it in 2016. The film does it justice.
It's a real skill to get inside the mind of a decent man, a kind man who doubts himself but does his very best for the institution he believes in.
Oh! Just stop the commentary and let us hear the speech!!!!
You spent so much time talking about this piece of music yet you do not tell us what it is!!!!!!! How smart is that? Other music is played in the Sistine Chapel. On UA-cam you can find a video with Pope Benedict XVI attending a concert by the Vatican Choir - in the SIstine Chapel. You need to be more precise--the piece you are referring to - which you do not identify (I assume you are referring to Allegri´s Miserere) was composed for the exclusive use of the Sistine Chapel and is no doubt sung in the chapel during Holy Week ever since it was composed. But this piece is performed all over the world. Your reporting needs to be much better prepared.
Looks and sounds nice, but Euro Trip is still the best conclave movie ever made.
Ray or Ralph?
He has one of those unusual English names that look and appear the obvious, but they’re actually pronounced completely different. Ralph Fiennes’ name is pronounced Ra-fe or Ray-fe, not Ralph. But he is forgiving to everyone about it, as he feels it is too late to go out there and correct everyone. The director made reference to “Ray” that some people cut his name short in a pinch when speaking to or about him.
@sgtalstrafficticketblog2452 most people called "Ralph" pronounce it Ralf. Except Ralph Feinnes.
M on a secret assignment to the Vatican
mmm, a good padawan he would make . . .

Poorly done, to far from reality. The film indirectly slanders Pope Benedict XVI, and anyone who holds to orthodoxy of the faith. Some errors in the understanding of cannon law show up. The film is very critical of the Catholic church, and unfortunately is exacerbates the misconceptions people have about the Church. Moral vagueness, and relativism is shown as a good thing, and tries to reject the certainty of the faith. Hollywood screwed up what could have been a really good movie. No surprise there!
