silence
A religious film is undoubtedly a strong challenge for old Martin. The crime he is good at, the shooting method of the gangster theme, the atmosphere of drug-like excitement, and the silence, are impossible to start, but if it is filmed What's the difference between ordinary people and others?
He gave a perfect solution: zoom in photography, restore the Japanese style to a high degree, and put the whole Christian environment in the Japanese rhythm. I have to sigh here: Master Martin too! Thinking of his previous crime-themed movies, it can be overwhelmed by drug use, but there are also cases of twists in the usual passages, especially in recent years, it is obvious that his energy is not enough to support all the details of the whole movie, taste The tail is very weak after opening high. Looking back at this silence, the whole film is in a quiet mood. Combined with the Japanese environment, it magnifies the sense of conflict between Western religions. The old horse is too stable this time, and it makes people feel that What are the shortcomings, but it can be said that this is also the best film in its literary and drama processing, as if watching Hou Xiaoxian.
The composition of the film is more ritual, but it does not use church music and religious symbols to exaggerate the atmosphere. Instead, it has a good deal of Japanese style, such as people's service, movement details, and relatively frustrated pictures and dialogue.
Regarding the religious things in the plot, because I don’t know much about it, it’s not easy to make false comments. I will just talk about things in logic from the perspective of a normal person. First of all, the big plot. There have been discussions about Christ before, the protagonist There have also been a lot of vacillations. In the section before the end, some even made me think that the film really was questioning the rationality of the existence of religion and the existence of God, etc., but at the last moment, I suddenly realized that this film is fundamentally, There is no doubt or wavering about the religion itself, but a euphemistic, tortuous, and very powerful religious propaganda film at the same time. The so-called silence of the film title is actually the subject of discussion. I talked about why God is silent before, and then I talked about the silence of priests. At the end, I gave a very clear answer: silence does not mean non-existence, nor does it mean giving up. Silence also has. The power of silence. Especially at the moment before Father Rodriguez stepped on the idol, God made a voice to him. This clip clearly beautifies the image of the priest, because this voice does not exist for the guest official, but after a simple treatment, the audience will I am firmer towards the image of the priest. I do not want to question the priest's selfishness, but there is no doubt that the film never questioned God. It is a hymn about Christian choice. For a non-believer fan, the result may be slightly disappointed.
Although it is a hymn, there are still many commendable points for the various treatments. For example, the role of Yoshijiro can be said to have a strong contrast with the priest. He has repeatedly abandoned his religion for his life, but he has never left in his heart. Blessing, and although the priest finally listened to his confession repeatedly because of the doctrine, he still felt a sense of estrangement, or contempt, for him in his heart. But in the end, the priest himself recognized the reality amid the destruction and embarked on the path of abandoning religion, just like Yoshijiro, the difference lies in their knowledge of the Japanese soil. Regarding the description of the soil, there is one more point. After walking out of those remote areas, describing the people in the city. In their eyes, Catholicism is truly pagan. In this class, Catholicism cannot be integrated. It feels very obvious. Again, the issue of soil is explained, but it is a pity that there is no more discussion. After all, it is still a Catholic movie in the end.
Finally, to make fun of it, this film is a story of a MLM organization who fell into another MLM organization. After a lot of brainwashing, he has been washed on the surface and actually remains innocent.
