Review of Silence (2017) by Rodney T — 17 Jan 2017
One thing that this movie is completely silent about is the fact that it takes place smack dab in the middle of a not so charming cultural phenomenon known as the Inquisition. This is something to keep in mind when you are contemplating for nearly three hours this tale of a journey of a couple of Jesuits who were treated so roughly as they tried to spread Catholicism to a hostile host of Japanese people.
Perhaps they would have responded differently if instead they had been confronted with some form of Christianity.
