- Why does Father Rodrigues apostatize? First, a definition: apostasy means the renunciation of one’s faith. In the film, Father Ferreira (Liam Neeson) has already been tortured, and, in a cruel twist, the Japanese authorities threatened that if the Jesuit priest did not apostatize, the Japanese Christians among whom he ministered would be tortured and killed.
- Does Father Rodrigues still believe in God after his apostasy? To my mind, definitely. Mr. Scorsese’s film is clearer on this than the novel by Shusako Endo.
- Is Kichijiro intended to be a comic character? I’ve heard that the figure of Kichijiro, initially Rodrigues’s and Garupe’s Japanese guide, and later Rodrigues’s friend, elicited some chuckles in movie theaters.
- Why was God “silent”? This is perhaps the most difficult theological question. It is not surprising that both Endo and Scorsese took the word as the title of the book and the film.
Though sometimes slow, SILENCE is superbly filmed and acted. Director Martin Scorsese directs one of his best movies. Andrew Garfield, who also stars in Mel Gibson’s wonderful Christian movie, HACKSAW RIDGE, once again gives an excellent performance; so do the other English language and Japanese actors.

This is a time when Christianity was outlawed and severe punishment and death were employed to deter the Japanese population from converting to it.
