Dec 23, 2016 · Reviews. Silence. Matt Zoller Seitz December 23, 2016. Tweet. Now streaming on: Powered by JustWatch. "Silence" is a monumental work, and a punishing one. It puts you through hell with no promise of enlightenment, only a set of questions and propositions, sensations and experiences.
It could be mistaken as pretentious, but I think the whole point of the movie is to make you think, and more than that, to experience. The movie is about a deeply religious man idolizing suffering and going through a complete transformation after the back alley murder of his own narcissism.

- 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.
