The story of two Catholic missionaries (Andrew Garfield and Adam
Driver) who face the ultimate test of faith when they travel to Japan in search
of their missing mentor (Liam Neeson) - at a time when Catholicism was outlawed
and their presence forbidden. (Courtesy of Internet Movie Database)
I selected this film SILENCE off the strength of who
directed it, being Martin Scorsese. Call me a huge fan of his work and his
attitude toward the craft of filmmaking. Seeing the trailer for SILENCE it
didn’t seem like a film Scorsese would be known for, but that made it that much
more intriguing. Upon seeing the film I was not quite sure that I was going to
enjoy the journey this film depicted, yet I continued to watch. The culture and
times were for me were highly interesting, but this torturous story that unraveled
was quite burdensome leaving me wondering why life had to be so hard. So for
SILENCE I give it 3 stars.
