Ralph Fiennes's Breakdown In The Pope's Bedroom In Conclave Is One Of My Favourite Parts Of The Movie.

What shocked me about Pentiment is that it soon becomes very clear you're not here to solve the murder. You're not here to speak the truth. The system is inherently unjust and you're here to find evidence to condemn someone.

Even if the person is guilty, do they deserve death and damnation (they're Christians they believe in that kind of things) for what they've done? The game don't give you the time to investigate everything. Do you choose to investigate someone further because they seem guilty, or because you WANT them to be?

Most detective games won't let you move on until you find the right culprit, and you're delivering justice. The world will be illuminated by the truth. But most detective game don't make you watch the public execution.

In the book, Benitez specifically points to US imperialism as having caused the death of more Christians than radicalized Muslim youth (and rightly suggests it had a role in that very radicalization!) In the movie, he vaguely identifies the culprit as the 'hate' everyone carries inside themselves. An odd (and very liberal) conclusion. This is one of the few places where the movie departs from the book
