"I feel so tempted. I feel so tempted to despair. I'm afraid. The weight of your silence is terrible. I pray, but I'm lost. Or am I just praying to nothing? Nothing. Because you are not there ."


"The price for your glory is their suffering."


"There's a saying in here: "Mountains and rivers can be moved but men's nature cannot be moved"."


"Be quiet. Don't speak to me. You have no right to speak to me.

Oh, I do. Because you are just like me. You see Jesus in Gethsemane and believe your trial is the same as His. Those five in the pit are suffering too, just like Jesus, but they don 't have your pride. They would never compare themselves to Jesus. Do you have the right to make them suffer? I heard the cries of suffering in this same cell. And I acted.

You excuse yourself! You excuse yourself! That is the spirit of darkness.

And what would you do for them? Pray? And get what in return? Only more suffering. A suffering only you can end. Not God! I pray too, Rodrigues. It doesn't help. Go on, pray. But pray with your eyes open. You can spare them. They call out for help just as you call to God. He is silent, but you do not have to be.

They should apostatize. Apostatize! God help me. Apostatize! Korobu! Korobu!”


“The man who was once Rodrigues ended as they wanted. And as I first saw him, lost to God. But as to that, indeed, only God can answer."

    There is no soundtrack in the whole film, and the place where music is most needed to brew emotions is completely silent, which is really thought-provoking. The dialogue with the practice just made me feel the stubborn arrogance of the white people and the arrogance of religion, religion is really a tool to rule the ignorant people

    Sadness covers the mountains and rivers. However, after a long period of torture, this anti-epic film ushered in a protracted end. I can feel that the old horse wants to struggle from the cruel devastation in front of him, but he is at a loss at this point. Yes, the silky light at the end is not so much a sublimation, but rather a prevarication to the out of control, a work that tries to get rid of the Western creation routine, and finally chose to surrender in a hurry.
