I saw SILENCE twice today. First time, I was absorbed, impressed, moved. Second time, I was in tears. One of Scorsese's greatest films.



Also what is it about Andrew Garfield that makes directors say, "Let's send that kid to Japan so he can suffer for the Lord"?
 
(He's great, btw.)

Second screening revealed it to be one of Scorsese's most beautifully structured & composed films. And made me appreciate Neeson a lot more.

The novel of SILENCE is the only book I've ever read that made me want to believe in God. Film's effect is different, but still v. powerful.

SILENCE is beautiful and heartfelt. All Good Friday, as with most Scorsese. Very little Easter Sunday.



I thought it was bracing and absorbing. I also love KUNDUN and LAST TEMPTATION. Temper expectations accordingly.

Very few filmmakers ever find a way to compellingly grapple with spirituality and faith on film. Scorsese has done so consistently.

Also, SILENCE may have the most engrossingly weird bad guy since Hans Landa in INGLORIOUS BASTERDS. The Inquisitor is something else.

Lastly, Scorsese finally scratched what I'm guessing was a pretty profound Kurosawa itch. Big time.

definitely just saw collateral beauty.

 

Hey, that better not be a joke! :lol:

 

I don't care about Big Willy's Scientology, marital woes, that he's a butt of jokes for trying to make his spoiled brat happen as a movie star, etc. He should have won the Oscar for IAL, dammit, one of the cinema's greatest performances. Yes, Will in IAL = GOAT. I will stan for his Oscar win as long as it takes but he will win with the help of my stanning power. You got this, Will!

 

That said, Silence trailer was alright, nothing special. Torture porn with fake accents and really beautiful cinematography.

 

This movie will be divisive. Can't imagine only raves. Love/hate is more realistic.
