Apostasy is a renouncing of your faith preferably in favor of converting to another.\u00a0 Perhaps no other movie better demonstrates the results of apostasy than &#8220;Silence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Martin Scorsese\u2019s \u201cSilence,\u201d which premiered in Vatican City where a most favorable audience could be expected, enjoys a release here in the U.S. a few weeks later.\u00a0 Despite the film\u2019s showing that thousands of people converted from Christianity back to Buddhism, the martyrdom of large numbers of Christians who refuse to give up their faith would rivet the attention of the pious.\u00a0 Andrew Garfield (\u201cHacksaw Bridge,\u201d where he played another religious hero) inhabits the role of Sebasti\u00e3o Rodrigues in this epic bit of historical fiction, though \u201cbit\u201d would hardly be the word for a film that runs 162 minutes.\u00a0 But don\u2019t worry.\u00a0 The movie, however slow moving in most spots, goes by like a flash (for me, that is), and if you find that parts are too slow, just meditate on this zen koan:\u00a0 \u201cI am sitting here: I am not going anywhere, so why should I want the film to run on more quickly?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One can\u2019t help suspecting that Martin Scorsese, arguably among the great director of our time and the past, is a deeply religious man, even if he has been quoted as saying that he is a lapsed Catholic.\u00a0 The silence of the movie title is God\u2019s own silence, seeming to ignore the hours and weeks of daily prayer by Rodrigues, and in a lesser role by his compadre Francisco Garrpe (Adam Driver, in a somewhat different role from his recent \u201cPaterson\u201d).\u00a0 In the 1630\u2019s these two Portuguese Jesuit priests, Rodrigues and Garrpe, begged their superior Father Valignano (Ciar\u00e1n Hinds) to send them from the Iberian peninsula to Japan to find out what happened to a fellow missionary, Father Crist\u00f3v\u00e3o Ferreira (Liam Neeson).\u00a0 He is thought to be dead, having been killed by the authorities who feared cultural imperialism from Europe\u2014and in fact, the only Europeans the Japanese allowed into their isolated country were traders from the Netherlands who were not about to try to convert the local people to anything but buying goods.<\/p>\n<p>Before they actually did find Ferreira, they had quite an adventure, but if the dangers they encountered made them sorry they ever gave up Mateus wine for Sake, there is no indication of regrets.\u00a0 Evoked by Rodrigo Prieto\u2019s gorgeous cinematography on the island of Taiwan, given the character of a 17th Century Japanese village, the two Jesuits bear witness to tortures that might fit into a movie by Quentin Tarantino or by Pier Palo Pasolini\u2019s Sal\u00f2 or even Mel Gibson\u2019s \u201cThe Passion of the Christ.\u201d Ordinary citizens of the Christian faith are brought to the Inquisitor, Inoue (Issey Ogata) and made to step on a metal engraving of Jesus.\u00a0 Only the most pious of believers would refuse to do so, since all they had to do is place a foot lightly on the etching and then go on their merry ways thinking whatever they really wanted to think.\u00a0 But in some earlier scenes, everyone refused.\u00a0 For the troubles of the refuseniks, they are either tied to a cross and left to die after the executioner gives each a sip of sake (like vinegar for Christ?) but not before they have boiling water poured over them as though by a shower, dripping merrily down to make the pain more excruciating.\u00a0 The bodies are wrapped in straw, sometimes while they are still alive, and burned, though for variety some are tied in straw and first drowned.<\/p>\n<p>Apostasy is all the Inquisitor really demands.\u00a0 Since he knows that the Padre, the head priest Rodrigues, would not give in, the priest is forced to witness a preparation for slow death of others and told that these people have giving up of their Christian faith, they would be tortured and killed if Rodrigues refuse to apostatize.\u00a0 If Rodrigues, with his \u201ccourtroom\u201d prosecution translated by a \u201cgood cop\u201d (Tadanobu Asano) who says, \u201cHey, step on the metal, it\u2019s only a formality) has any hope of giving up his Christian faith, it is through the influence of Ferreira (Liam Neeson), who finally turns up to convince him to do so.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s difficult to believe that such a long, slow-moving story would go by so quickly, but remember that Scorsese is behind it a perfectionist who he must have studied every scene to judge its viability.\u00a0 Not only is the film Oscar-worthy but stands out for a few performances.\u00a0 I would consider Tadanobu Asano as the good cop for awards consideration and perhaps also Issey Ogata as the Inquisitor, but also Ya?suke Kubozuka as Kichijiro who gave up his Christianity and then gained some silver for turning Rodrigues in.\u00a0 The film is an adaptation of the 1966 novel by Shusaku Endo, available at Amazon.com for $9.52.<\/p>\n<p>A few concepts are implied.\u00a0 One is the idea that Jews have not been the only people to be persecuted for their religion off and on for two thousand years.\u00a0 Any minority group that is considered \u201cthe other,\u201d risks torment by people who cannot tolerate differences.\u00a0 Remember that ISIS captures Yazidi women not only for their different religion but also because they are not, like Muslims, a people of the Book.\u00a0 And the Romans were not the last to bother Christians in the arena.\u00a0 Christians are persecuted today in some North African states, by ISIS, by Al Queda, and of course in the 17th Century by those who are the subjects of this film. If the action in this film reminds you of the ideology of terrorists, who destroy items of antiquity from non-Islamic religions as they did in Syria, you\u2019re up with your current events.\u00a0 All this makes \u201cSilence\u201d not only a film to be seen for intrinsic qualities and careful attention to detail but for its timeliness not only for our own century but throughout history.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unrated.\u00a0 162 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story \u2013 A-<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Acting
