Dec 23, 2016 · Martin Scorsese's film about Jesuit priests in 17th century Japan is a punishing experience and monumental work.
- 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.
