Silence

This is indeed a great movie! Beautifully filmed, it is the story of Jesuits in Japan in 1640. Two Jesuits come to Japan to look for the whereabouts of Padre Ferreira. It is said he apostatized and that he is now living as a regular japonese. The priests see the brutality of the japonese inquisitor that wants to eradicate christians and christianity in Japan. They follow separate paths but they are both caught and we follow Padre Sebastião Rodrigues for the rest of the film. We see him questioning his faith and watching as other christians die because they refuse to step a holy image and they refuse to renounce their faith. Should we question our religion? Should we renounce it to escape certain death? Can we remain christian in our core but act otherwise?
The movie poses very interesting questions and it shows us how Japan was at that time.
