this is my favorite Star Wars movie

This movie is the view of a Japanese man in denial coping with the horrors his country committed. “The Japanese werent really bad they were just protecting their culture, economy, and religion and they didnt really hate Catholicism they just did what they had to do to conserve their country while the priest let innocent die not for God but for their own selfish glory” any priest knows that icons mean nothing and that if destroying an icon meant saving innocent lives they would do it because worshipping and honoring God is thru the heart not icons. The japanese hated foreigners and attacked them where their heart is. In their religion, they depised foreigners unfair trade practices and made their innocent priest pay for it out of spite.

I find it fascinating that Kichijiro didn't struggle when he was caught with his faith. He didn't cry he didn't yell or apostosize again to save his skin. He died with his faith, which many Christians will pull scripture and speak saying well he still didn't accept Jesus as his lord and savior or repent for his sins but who's to say where gis heart was upon his death.

It is impossible to please God without faith. Now Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. (V1) By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible(V3) “And without Faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (V6) Hebrews 11

excellent insight at 18:30 mark: "Rodriguez' faith wasn't silenced, but he endured in silence".

Keep God first🇺🇲

This analysis is faulty and unBiblical. It is more important to save someone's soul than to save their physical life. If you can do both, wonderful, praise God. But one should not sacrifice the soul for the body, but to sacrifice the body for the soul is glory to Christ Jesus. Jesus would never deny His heavenly Father, even to save the lives of others or the appearance of saving the lives of others. Their is a strong sense of victimhood in this video. Following Jesus is not meant to be easy. We are asked daily to pick up our cross and follow Jesus. Is it love to condemn people to eternal damnation just to save their material. perishable lives?

This story with the portrayal of Kichijoro and Rodriguez ask us a hypothetical question that is "What if Judas repented from his betrayal towards Christ?"

Jesus said those that deny him among men, he will deny them before the father

Exactly. Rodrigues is Judas, meaning he is a fallible human being just like all of us, and his struggle is all about breaking free of the self centered illusion that he was Jesus, that he was the perfect messiah figure destined to save Japan from itself. Ultimately, the people who put Jesus on a cross were exactly like that: arrogant men who saw themselves as the chosen ones of God, to the point they could not see the lesson in humility God Himself was trying to teach them.

DONALD TRUMP - "KARMA IS A BITCH". Kama La for President! Mispronounce that!!! HUH!

Wow dude. Great work!

St. John Chrysostom, Patriarch of Constantinople, One of the 5 Great Fathers of the Church of the East, Doctor of the Church: “I do not speak rashly, but as I feel and think, I do not think that many priests are saved but that those that perish are far more numerous. The reason is that the office requires a great soul. For there are many things to make a priest swerve from rectitude, and he requires great vigilance on every side. Do you not perceive how many qualities a bishop must have that he may be apt to teach; patient towards the wicked, firm and faithful in teaching the Word? How many difficulties herein. Moreover the loss of others is imputed to him. I need say no more. If but one dies without baptism, does it not entirely endanger his salvation? For the loss of one soul is so great an evil as no man can understand. If the salvation of one soul is of such importance that, for its sake, the Son of God became man and suffered so much, think of the penalty the loss of one soul will entail.” (Third Homily, Acts of the Apostles)

The only critique i have of this is that Judas never repented, where as the main character here seems to have repented

this is such a good video bro

Great video, thank you! This film was a shattering experience for me (as a lapsed Roman Catholic), and the book is incredible as well. I was surprised at how torn many Catholics were re: whether this film was "good" or not (i.e., whether it was actually heretical or not). See Bishop Barron's review, for instance. Still, I wonder what Barron would do if he was put in Rodrigues's position, and forced to choose between apostasy, and the brutal torture & death of innocents. By the way, you're British, right? But since you were raised Catholic (instead of Anglican), are you possibly also from an African or Caribbean background?

5:24 the Bible contradicts this (shocker) in Romans 3:28 and also Galatians 2:16

Thoroughly enjoyed the video! One thing that stood out to me is how you perfectly articulated the difference between faith in theory and faith in practise. How difficult circumstances force us to re-evaluate the nature of faith and adapt our approach to being Christian. In the movie, two Christian values are placed in opposition to each other: charity and loyalty to Christ. Rodrigues is forced to compromise his loyalty to Christ in order to save innocent people in the midst of their suffering. Or maybe it wasn't your intention to illustrate that at all! In any case, you are very well versed on the subject matter and I definitely look forward to the next video. Subbed!

Great video dude

The apostasy was mean to make a "safe" church. No one gets hurt and we all get along. That is the attempt of society now. That was never Christianity. Jesus was killed for what he said. The apostles were martyred. The Romans killed Christians for the first 300 years. This priest was far from heroic. This is a very good movie however, I see how this priest represents the church today.

Hated Silence. It was clearly Scorsese’s attempt to justify his own apostasy. And it was totally anticlimactic. The actual martyrs being crucified in the ocean was a much more intense moment than the lazy “maybe Garfield’s character still believes” cliffhanger. If the priest’s apostasy is all fine and dandy, then the martyrs who remained faithful to Christ until the end really are pathetic pitiable schmucks who died for nothing. If anything, Silence taught me what Faith *isn’t*

This prison island is Nagasaki. The same number of people murdered my the Japanese government were killed by the second atomic bomb dropped in WW2. Only the clouds determined where that bomb was dropped. God does not forget to avenge his martyrs.

It's easy to critises but what would you Do? These things are likely to happen in the future to people who refuse to take the chip in the hand.

They were persecuted because they would kneel and pray for the Empoer but they would not pray too him.

I feel the worldly Catholic expansionist goals were not genuinely Christian. Maybe if they were, real Christianity may have taken root in Japan. Maybe the same can be said for many western nations too.

"But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven."

The implied(?) unintended (?) message of the book and the film is a falsification of Christ teaching .Our Saviour never praised apostasy -under any circumstances. The apostasy veiled in compassion serves to create a caricature of Christianity - as mistaken stubborn, irrational ideology, caricature eagerly welcomed nowadays by left oriented audience. It is no surprise therefore that while Christian culture is now conveniently ignored - this particular movie is ...somehow not:) It serves well to dilute and perfidiously distort what the core of Christianity is - fidelity to Christ. By apostatising the priest simply sinned -and turned his life into vegetative state. Those who were responsible for tortures were those who inflicted them -not the missionaries .

Brilliant video

The audacity and absurdity of claiming that Judas was some hero who enabled, or even was a catalyst for salvation through his betrayal of Christ is astounding! God does not depend or rely on the wickedness of sin to do good as if Jesus could not have saved us if it were not for the act of treachery and betrayal of Judas. While I admire the reflection on faith that this movie provokes in those who view it and likewise for the book, this assertion of the central role of Judas in salvation as purported by Scorsese is misplaced and misguided at best. The omnipotence of God is illustrated in HIS ability to bring good out of bad situations and actions but this is never to be interpreted as God endorsing or condoning any sinful action. God gives us free will and respects this gift. When we make sinful choices they are not part of "God's plan" for salvation or for doing good. Faith is made evident through our actions and can never be simply an interior attitude or disposition because we are a composite of body and soul. What we do with our bodies through our actions MATTERS! Apostatizing in order to save people from suffering and persecution is never morally justified. The end does not justify the means to reach that end. God is merciful. He will forgive any sinful action as long as we repent, truly apologize aka are contrite for our sin, and sincerely seek His forgiveness. What is lacking in the book and movie is greater attention to the sin of scandal. The scandal of the apostasy of the priests and the ripple effect in the Christian community is something that is not really addressed. The priests publicly renounced the faith to save those who were suffering but at what cost? How much spiritual damage was caused to many Christians who looked up to them as role models of the faith? Just as Jesus was unjustly tortured and killed for His preaching and actions so too for untold number of Christians throughout history. Would it not be the ultimate honor to die for your faith in imitation of Jesus? Would these same priests apostatize to save the apostles and other Christian martyrs as well? "The blood of martyrs is the seed of Christians" was famously written by Tertullian. There is a reason that we all accept the maxim "Actions speak louder than words" which also, by extension, includes innermost thoughts and attitudes. God alone can judge the heart and soul of a person but we are called to objectively judge actions as being moral or immoral without passing judgment on the person. Apostasy is morally wrong and cannot be justified for any reason. This action cannot be made morally good by a good intention. God alone can judge to what extent a person is morally responsible for their actions but that does not change the moral quality of the action which is an objective reality.

This movie touched my heart deeply and and kickstarted something in me. Eventually it brought me back to the catholic church after considering myself atheist/agnostic for 15 years.

What Scorcese knows about faith.

This video deserves so much more attention. Great work. Great movie, I hold great value in this movie, would love to read the book one day. Greetings from Sweden.

❤ To follow Christ is to lower yourself below those you look down on the most. That way you uplift them and everybody else and grant them a way to earn the right to live. ❤

Good video! Just saw Silence and really wanted to talk about it more with people, see how they viewed it

There are a few things that I feel like a lot of people miss. In Ferreiras monologue about the torture he mentions "The japanese call them (the hot springs where they tortured Christians) Hells, partly in I think mockery and partly I must tell you in truth". Jesus's ultimate sacrifice wasn't just that he died horrifically but that he, the one person not deserving of damnation, experienced Hell in all of our place. When Rodriguez refuses to apostitise, he's willfully sacrificing other innocent people and allowing them to experience "hell" because of his own personal fear of damnation. When Ferreira tells him that if Jesus was here, he would do that, in a way from what we know of Jesus in the Bible I don't think he's necessarily wrong. There's also the scene when Ferreira says "only God knows what's in our hearts". It might be a stretch but when I saw that I thought it was basically Ferreira hinting to his own personal continuing faith and even leaving it open to the Japanese christians still loving God and being saved, even if it's hard to communicate and for them to fully conceptualize the faith. Yeah, great movie
