Silence (2016)
Silence (2016) is an epic historical drama film directed by Martin Scorsese, based on the 1966 novel of the same name by Shūsaku Endō. The story follows two devout Portuguese Catholic priests, Sebastião Rodrigues and Francisco Garupe, who embark on a journey to Japan in 1633. Their mission: to uncover the truth behind their mentor Father Cristovão Ferreira’s abrupt end of correspondence. Despite hearing rumors of Ferreira’s apostasy, the determined Jesuit missionaries press on, facing brutal anti-Christian purges in their search for their friend and mentor.
In that situation, the two men and their accompanying Japanese guide, Kichijiro, reach Japan and are confronted with the overwhelming weight carried by those who hold differing beliefs in a country steeped in ancestral customs. As the ruthless Grand Inquisitor, Inoue, inflicts unspeakable tortures upon brave Christian natives, Father Rodrigues faces a critical decision: give up his faith to save the lives of imprisoned believers. In this distant corner of the world, a subtle transformation has commenced, yet one question remains: why does God’s silence feel so deafening?
