- 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.
