i watched SILENCE. didnt like it much. didnt care for the actors except for that japanese one who looked like CHRISTOPH WALTZ and also the tough guy who played the translator. and im no fan of christian missionaries. though in this case they were saving the poor peasants. but you know what some of the missionaries would be like once they gain some power. I thought the movie was pretty critical of the missionaries, implying that they were too selfish to save the lives of the peasants by not apostatizing and also for being used as tools by the colonialists. There really is no difference in the faith of the Japanese guy who continuously apostatizes and Andrew Garfield's character by the end of the movie. I wonder if this movie got ignored by Hollywood during awards season because it shows a country aggressively and violently protecting it's culture and way of life without making them outright villains. but spaceman, its written in the end that the film is dedicated to japanese christians or something like that. and the priests who come to save them are all tortured. and in the end when he dies, he still has the little statue in his body. |
