The time will show how great this movie is! I can not believe that this movie did not have attention that deserve.
Excellent film, a high contrast mirror of how the majority of humans understand religion, not beyond of a sun and moon believes. High contrast since it is what offers the culture in a middle age Japan, but this works as a mirror for a reflection about the state of the religious believes till our days world wide; it shows that the homo sapiens IQ is not enough to understand the message of Jesus, humans projects all intent of wisdom into their own selfish interest. Well done very deep speaks of Liam Neeson. A complete description of the human pattern in only one masterpiece.
I am a Christian and love religious dramas, and this is my favorite along with "The Star" and "The Last Temptation of Christ", which is from the same director. It's great that the director of Casino and The Wolf of Wall Street decided to do a profanity free devout movie. I wrote all of this a while back and decided I needed to rewrite the rest. Like I said, this is my favorite movie, with 2 others tied. If I had to pick one of the 3, it is easily Silence. Now why do I love it more than other movie I have watched? I could go on forever with that, it would be longer than the movie(160 minutes.) In short, it's a thought provoking look at faith. Go on YouTube and watch the 43 minute YouTube video: "The Movie Proposal Episode 12: Silence." Skye Jethani will help me out there. See Silence. It is fantastic. I literally could not stop praising it. A+, gold star, 10/10, etc.!
Long and somewhat boring. This film could have easily been made by Mel Gibson, with the pain, torture, and bloody gore galore. The film should have been titled "Senseless".
