This movie did the one thing a religious movie should do for someone who's not a christian that the pureflix crap never came close too, it made me respect and admire the Christian faith. The shit Andrew Garfields character went through, being tortured while others are being tortured and murdered in front of him because of his faith, compared too "ohh my college professor is atheist how dare he."
So it's only worth to address it as a problem when it's on the brink, blood has been drawn, it's on the edge of the cliff and might be too little too late?
I'm a pretty religious guy and let me tell you man this movie increased my faith in Christ 10 fold it's easily one of the best movies I've seen in years possibly the best
Right at the very beginning of the movie, I was chewing happily on my popcorn. I chew really loud. And then the title of the movie comes on screen, "SILENCE", and the audio cuts out for about 5 seconds. I stopped chewing. I felt like the movie was telling me to shut up :-)
I saw this film out of curiosity, and I loved it, as someone who loves history, it was completely faithful to historical accounts, the acting was fantastic, it was almost like Tora Tora Tora, where its like seeing a historic reenactment, and hearing all the bad things about these PureFlix movies, it was refreshing to see a true religious themed movie with a very unique message and viewpoint, I'm hardly religious, but not an atheist, it showed me angle I never imagined before, to the nature of God, prayer and pain, and I am very thankful for it, all the while, and probably the catalyst for me deciding "you know what, let's give this move a shot"...was seeing that its starring Liam Neeson and Adam Driver, and the entire time i was hoping for them to have a scene together just so i could say to myself "Qui Gon Jin just met Kylo Ren"
+Mike White That movie, when I was a little child, made me convinced that if god exist he's a bloodthirsty despot, and I'm not sure it's the point of view the movie attempted to spread. I'd say it's one of the main reasons I'm not religious^-^
its one of them film you walk out after the movie is over . u drive home not saying a word . untill u get home . and makes you think about yourself your faith and the people who u care about . its one of the greatest movies ive seen in along time .
Silence is the most beautiful film I have ever seen in recent memory. I was disappointed by its snubbing at the Golden Globes and Oscars, but I think that unlike many of the winners, this movie won't be forgotten and hopefully, as the years go by, more people will watch it and love it and it will gain a wonderful cult following. Don't stop Scorsese, we need more films like these.
Well, it pretty much IS like putting the trailer of God's Not Dead before The Last Temptation. Because that is a Pureflix trailer over a Martin Scorsese movie...
One of the common complaints about this films is that it has too many static shots and lacks the Scorsese, fluid camera movements that he's known for like in Goodfellas or Wolf of Wall Street. My response to that criticism would be this is a different kind of movie with a different tone. A lot of shots hold for a long duration, because you're supposed to feel the grueling situations that Rodrigues is facing.
My brother was really relieved that Scorsese went light on his stylization, instead staying very simple to let the ideas and the emotions have their full weight.
Part of me feels like my mom would like this movie for being so haunting and real. But would also hate it for not being more uplifting. I would still want to show it to her so she can stop liking God's Not Dead and appreciate a real persecution story.
How awesome would it be if one of those "War on Christmas" movies marketed itself as another piece of white American persecution complex bullshit, but when you saw it it turned out they took a film crew to Egypt where there really is a literal war on Christmas.
So it's only worth to address it as a problem when it's on the brink, blood has been drawn, it's on the edge of the cliff and might be too little too late?
Silence was playing at weird times for me too. Like the only theater near me had it playing at 1100am. I saw it on Inauguration day. Went into the theater, Obama was still president. I left the theater feeling like everything had changed-- then I realized it was because Trump was our president now. A combo of this amazing film and that realization made me feel unsettled all day.
You do not realize how happy I am to hear that this movie got 1 showtime at your theater as well. My theater decided to do the same thing with one 9:10 showing and then only had showings on Friday and Saturday. They never showed it this week so I'm probably not going to be able to see this movie unless they do screenings this weekend again which I doubt.
You know, honestly. This movie is great. A wonderful film everything about it was excellent, the writing, the acting, cinematography, and the minimal music. That being said, I did not care for the ending. But it was WONDERFUL. People should see it.
I actually read the book this is based on for a class in collage. It's a good book that provides insight into a turbulent time in Japanese history. I say read the book as i think it will provide more details about the time period
The Pureflix trailer before Silence had to be some sort of Christian revenge for "The Last Temptation of Christ." I was like 8 when that movie was released and my devout Catholic family was having a shit fit over it.
This film is in like one theater within five miles of where I live. They are showing it just once a day. Four in the afternoon! A time when everyone I know, including myself, are at work. And on weekends it'll be ever more expensive just to get tickets at four pm! A Scorsese film for crying out loud! How many more chances will I get to see a new Scorsese film in the theater?
Really enjoyed this movie. Unfortunately, there was only one other person in the theater besides my friends and I, and he walked out in the middle of it. Not for everyone for sure.
I am getting vibes of Graham Greene's (the man who wrote "The Third Man") "The Power and the Glory" (I believe John ford turned it into a movie too) about a "whiskey priest's" travels during a period in one county in Mexico where the government outlawed religion under pain of death. It had a depressing ending too.
WilliamGarland i randomly found a copy of the power and the glory that advertised the author as "THE GREATEST WRITER OF ALL TIME!!" i have no idea where it came from.
Graham Greene is usually cited as one the more important Novelist of the 20th century, I don't know if I would put it that hyperbolically though. He was an English Catholic but also had Marxist sympathies. In Europe he is most know for "The Heart of the Matter", though in America he is probably more know for his writing the story "The Third Man", starring Orson Welles and Joseph Cotton, as well the "The Quiet America" the first major literary exploration and criticism of the U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
When I first heard of this movie, I was like "Oh, my god, Pureflix kidnapped Scorsese and forced him to direct one of their movies!!" It's good to hear the movie doesn't sound like it's preachy or driven biased agenda like a Pureflix movie normally does. Even though it's probably good, taking Brad's word for it, having yet another religious movie about Christian persecution could very well turn some people off.
Wasn't there a couple of crew members that died in an accident near the beginning of shooting this movie? Between stuff like that and the bad returns at the box office, this film's been having a slew of bad luck. Which is a shame.
bj milburn - do you think that's a director-devised or studio devised gimmick? I'm here in CA and the theatres within the three cities I'm nearest are only playing the movie on one screen at one time: 9:15pm.
The history behind the story is really interesting. Christian missionaries arrived in the mid-16th Century and were initially welcomed because of the trade they brought with them and a number of lords were sick of the meddling Buddhists from fighting priests to peasant uprisings. However the Spanish being the Imperialists they were shot their mouth off claiming they would use the Christians to take over the country. The Dutch played a part in this as well and the English pilot whom the novel and TV mini-series Shogun was based on. They filled in the Japanese what was actually going on in Europe furthering a desire to have less to do with Christianity and the Spanish and Portuguese. Plus the year before the two priests arrived a Christian revolt had just been put down and there was no way the authorities were going to allow Christianity to continue threatening the peace. My historical analysis of the film: ruclips.net/video/kPW937iFTbs/видео.html
I wonder if Scorsese will do a companion film about what the Church was getting up to in Europe the 1600s? Something like a remake of Ken Russell's The Devils might be nice.
fahd s It's because he loves films. He's seen so many of them that he knows how to make one. He's tied with Bergman and Kubrick as the most consistent filmmaker ever.
"Movies like Saving Christmas are as offensive to Christians as they are to anyone else." Ya know... THANK you. Far be it for me as a person with Christian privilege to play that #NotAllChristians card cause it's not helpful. And yet movies like that, like War Room (which is so morally irresponsible) and Old Fashioned (which is just flat out CREEPY) anger me because there are so many Christians that these movies OR these sentiments DON'T represent. Atheists aren't "out to get us," and there is NO "war" on Christmas and that that's the voice that is getting screentime is so embarrassing. So, seriously, THANK you, Brad for having to the scope to recognize that. I appreciate it and you.
Never heard of this. There are so many good films that quietly creep into theaters (and often only select theaters), barely get played, and sneak away. Then I find them three months later on Netflix and go,"This sounds great,why haven't I heard of this?" I'll pass on this one because I can't handle torture well, but it does sound really good.
I saw the trailer for "The Case for Christ." Yes, you guys must watch it. :D Movie Lee Strobel will show us how he went out to disprove Christianity and ended up a believer.
When you were talking about "Last Ounce of Courage", you gave suggestions to hypothetical people who might complain about not being able to listen to religious Christmas music at all times. You mentioned things like "burning a CD", "satellite radio" and "Spotify". Let me tell you, I grew up with the kinds of churches full of people who would watch these movies. They don't use the internet. They don't like tech. They don't pirate or burn CDs. They live under a rock. The heavy implication with fundies is that they are required to live in a bubble away from all the advances and progressive thinking and education and logic that non-religious people take part in-- that all they need and want can come from a religious source. Statistically speaking, heavily religious people are extremely sheltered. It's a key source for most of the garbage you hear from fundies. It's also why religious people have such low standards in general and plagiarize outside works to create religious media. They don't have experience with any media outside religious media, so they don't know any better.
I need to here your opinion on the Resurrection of Gavin Stone, it stars the main villain of the first three seasons of Agents of SHIELD and he's actually a really good actor put into the leading role of a horribly made religious film. It's hilarious.
I was so desperately bored during the first hour of this film. I really wish they'd shaved the narration down and cut the runtime. That last third of the film was excellent and I wish the rest of the film could have engaged me that much.
I wonder if Dave would have converted if he watched this movie! Because I almost did after watching it, but then I remembered the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions.
I still think you are being too harsh on Hacksaw Ridge. Garfield did a damn good performance and your letting the (much toned down) Gibson violence distort your experience.
I went to go see it with my brother, we've both read the book, and were bracing ourselves for disappointment. We were not disappointed. It is an incredibly faithful adaptation.
WHY oh why! didnt anyone tell me that movies start with 20MINS OF ADS/PREVIEWS! immo fight summbodeey! but then again im 80 yrs old(a lie)! and haven't seen a movie in theaters since 2014(not a lie). lol or is this just in TN?
Probably an incredibly stupid question, but is there a plan to MS A Dog's Purpose? I want to know what you guys (or gals) think of it before I decide to plunk down $9.50 to see it.
There's a difference between a movie about religion or contains religious content and a religious propaganda movie. I've watched the inauguration (European) Every time ANYBODY mentioned God or anything religious I slapped myself........ I just woke up 🤕
From what I've read, Shusaku Endo, the author of the original book, hated the 1971 film because the other writer changed the ending without his permission. This was very faithful to the novel.
I saw one trailer for this movie, and I instantly thought it was another "Last Samurai" where a white person is the main character in a movie taking place in old time asia. The trailer did not do a good job of advertising the movie to me.
I wonder if any film makers would be brave enough to make a movie where Christians are doing the persecuting. One idea for such a movie would be a movie where Saint Patrick is the villain.
I get what you guys are saying, and I by no means hated this film, but I couldn't help but think of the hypocrisy of the situation here. It wasn't that long before (heck, you could probably find contemporary areas especially in the Americas and Africa) where Christian churches and particularly the Catholics were conducting persecution nearly EXACTLY to what was shown in the film. That the film showed no awareness of that really bothered me to the point where that combined with the fact that I thought the arguments from BOTH sides were crap meant simply could not give the movie a fair review. That said, it is far, FAR better than anything put out by PureFlix. Night and day comparison.

A religious movie that DOESN'T suck? Damn!
Landon Wilson not really a religious movie. More about the dangers of both extremes of religion
It's also directed by Martin Scorsese
Landon Wilson may not seem like it, but they do exist. * cough* Ten Commandments * cough*
Hacksaw Ridge was great.
+Mike White
That movie, when I was a little child, made me convinced that if god exist he's a bloodthirsty despot, and I'm not sure it's the point of view the movie attempted to spread. I'd say it's one of the main reasons I'm not religious^-^
its one of them film you walk out after the movie is over . u drive home not saying a word . untill u get home . and makes you think about yourself your faith and the people who u care about . its one of the greatest movies ive seen in along time .
HOLY SHIT! I did not expect Brad to get a chance to see this. Sweet.
Silence is the most beautiful film I have ever seen in recent memory. I was disappointed by its snubbing at the Golden Globes and Oscars, but I think that unlike many of the winners, this movie won't be forgotten and hopefully, as the years go by, more people will watch it and love it and it will gain a wonderful cult following. Don't stop Scorsese, we need more films like these.
A Pureflix trailer over a Martin Scorsese movie... that's like putting a trailer of "God's Not Dead" before "The Last Temptation of Christ". XD
That's like putting a trailer for an Alvin & the Chipmunks' sequel in front of a Pixar movie.
Like putting a Rankin Bass production infront of a Ghibli film
Neverheart Rankin Bass in front of a Laika film. or a Dingo Pictures movie in front of Studio Ghibli
Well, it pretty much IS like putting the trailer of God's Not Dead before The Last Temptation. Because that is a Pureflix trailer over a Martin Scorsese movie...
R.J. Marrero Everyone at PureFlix should Watch Scorsese's religious trilogy.
the history of Japan is really really interesting.
One of the common complaints about this films is that it has too many static shots and lacks the Scorsese, fluid camera movements that he's known for like in Goodfellas or Wolf of Wall Street. My response to that criticism would be this is a different kind of movie with a different tone.

Riot Edits Yes, please!! Do it!! We need this right now!! We have either too many boringly good movies, boringly bad movies!! This would be insane!!
Glad you enjoyed this harrowing, memorable movie as much as I did.
Silence was playing at weird times for me too. Like the only theater near me had it playing at 1100am. I saw it on Inauguration day. Went into the theater, Obama was still president.

Was hoping you'd send the B team but glad you came Brad
More people need to watch this movie. It's sad that its box office returns are so minimal.
Unfortunately it's been marketed so poorly, and has been ignored by award season which could have boost up it's audience
I saw Silence last week and they showed the trailer for Transformers The Last Knight.
rogerwhutwhut Same. And you can imagine how well that went over in my theater full of octogenarians.
rogerwhutwhut Michael Bay and Martin Scorcese are quite similar directors lol
rogerwhutwhut It is a Paramount movie after all.
So glad you guys finally got to see Silence. I loved it so much I've already seen it twice; planning on seeing it again! :)
I honestly loved this movie. Something about it clicked for me in the middle, and I'm not even religious.
this is only playing at 1030pm near me...ugh....I did see The Founder last night which I loved. looking forward to hearing you guys talk about it.
It can't be more faith-affirming than "Don't want no monsters in my house."
You know, honestly. This movie is great. A wonderful film everything about it was excellent, the writing, the acting, cinematography, and the minimal music. That being said, I did not care for the ending. But it was WONDERFUL. People should see it.
I actually read the book this is based on for a class in collage. It's a good book that provides insight into a turbulent time in Japanese history.
I say read the book as i think it will provide more details about the time period
Silence is truly fantastic film. Marty still has it.
I want more "literal religious persecution"-Christian movies made by good directors because these makes Pureflix stuff look fucking offensive.
Marga Esperanza
Pure Flix is already offensive.
One of the most thought provoking movies ever made.
The previews in my viewing for Silence were Ghost in the Machine and other coming blockbusters.
My area plays christmas music starting the day after Halloween
The Pureflix trailer before Silence had to be some sort of Christian revenge for "The Last Temptation of Christ." I was like 8 when that movie was released and my devout Catholic family was having a shit fit over it.

The Movie version was John Ford's "The Fugitive" (1947) with Henry Fonda. I've only read the book. Brad, have you seen it? Comparison's to "Silence"?

Yeah, this only playing on one screen and one time where I am as well. I'm going to have to see this in DVD.
Wasn't there a couple of crew members that died in an accident near the beginning of shooting this movie?

Better yet, the film just got dumped onto DVD with no fanfare, almost no special features (one featurette), and no Blu-ray/DVD combo.
@@StarvingHamster And now, it’s in the $5 bin at Big Lots (saw it the other day)

If anyone tells me that Scorsese is merely "good", I will punch him in the face.
Henry Barnill He is amazing. Consistently great over 5 decades.
fahd s It's because he loves films. He's seen so many of them that he knows how to make one. He's tied with Bergman and Kubrick as the most consistent filmmaker ever.

I kinda wish Brad's Bugs Bunny hat becomes a regular thing in the midnight screenings, even in warm weather.
I came across this not knowing what this movie was. This is the first "religion" movie I am interested in. I feel I won't fall asleep xD
When you were talking about "Last Ounce of Courage", you gave suggestions to hypothetical people who might complain about not being able to listen to religious Christmas music at all times. You mentioned things like "burning a CD", "satellite radio" and "Spotify". Let me tell you, I grew up with the kinds of churches full of people who would watch these movies.

When I was a wee lad, they showed the trailer for The Grudge in front of Open Season.
In case no one has said yet, Meat Loaf exploded all over a skybox in Formula 51.
Yeah it was somebody else who got crushed. I think it was Robert Carlyle's boss, Moran.
Just read the plot off wiki, not my bag, but I could see this gaining an audience.
Btw, nice to see that you guys remember The Mission. Love that film.
so who's doing the review of WWE's pure flix movie
oh fuck I forgot that piece of shit lol
JosephDiEgidio I'll only watch that if it features Reverend Dvon.
"John Lee...his name *is* John Lee." *evil laughter*
I can't believe how much this movie has been getting ignored on award shows
This is a 2017 movie. It will get its recognition in award shows at the end of the year.
Pure Flix trailer in front of a Scorsese film? That is terribly insulting to both Pure Flix AND Martin Scorsese.
Heck Music Choice's holiday music channel goes from Halloween music right to Christmas music.
I got the trailer for God's Not Dead 2, in front of Batman V Superman, and that was funny.
That like putting the trailer for 50 Shades ahead of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
I need to here your opinion on the Resurrection of Gavin Stone, it stars the main villain of the first three seasons of Agents of SHIELD and he's actually a really good actor put into the leading role of a horribly made religious film. It's hilarious.
This review is so good had to watch it twice
Great review
Blood Eagle Fortunately he was right
I was so desperately bored during the first hour of this film. I really wish they'd shaved the narration down and cut the runtime. That last third of the film was excellent and I wish the rest of the film could have engaged me that much.
I wonder if Dave would have converted if he watched this movie! Because I almost did after watching it, but then I remembered the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions.
I still think you are being too harsh on Hacksaw Ridge. Garfield did a damn good performance and your letting the (much toned down) Gibson violence distort your experience.
the way brad drinks watered down coke makes me uncomfortable.
the end of gods not dead reviled that the guy wasn't actually an atheist he believed in god but he hated him for like killing his mom or some shit
haha random Coleman Francis reference at 18:50
Did Gavin Stone just not come out where you guys are?
wish Dave was in this.
A lot of this sounds sort of similar to James Clavell's "Shogun."
Are you guys going to do a best of 2016 list?
Brian's looking a little slimmer, but it might just be since his facial hair is shorter.
Too bad this hardly got any Oscar love.
I believe this movie will outlive all the Oscar winners.
I would be interested to know how this movie compares to the book.
I went to go see it with my brother, we've both read the book, and were bracing ourselves for disappointment. We were not disappointed. It is an incredibly faithful adaptation.
HEY BRAD!!!!!!!!!!! What happen to your 85 Camaro?
"A disease called 2002" Why does everyone say that? I was four when it was 2002, so I don't really remember anything.
Have you seen "the handmaiden"? If not watch it before you do your top 10 of 2016
I thought there was too much sunlight for you
January is kinda killing this year. I mean there are already 2 good movies.Wtf is going on.
nrmora and the world makes sense again.
WHY oh why! didnt anyone tell me that movies start with 20MINS OF ADS/PREVIEWS! immo fight summbodeey! but then again im 80 yrs old(a lie)! and haven't seen a movie in theaters since 2014(not a lie). lol or is this just in TN?
So I presume you don't agree that passion of the Christ is better than the last temptation of Christ?
Probably an incredibly stupid question, but is there a plan to MS A Dog's Purpose? I want to know what you guys (or gals) think of it before I decide to plunk down $9.50 to see it.
So . . . A better Japan movie than Sea of Trees?
There's a difference between a movie about religion or contains religious content and a religious propaganda movie.
I've watched the inauguration (European) Every time ANYBODY mentioned God or anything religious I slapped myself........ I just woke up 🤕
when are you guys gonna do Gavin stone?
I'd rather watch the 1971 version again.
Haven't seen Scorsese's version yet but the 1971 version was indeed great.
From what I've read, Shusaku Endo, the author of the original book, hated the 1971 film because the other writer changed the ending without his permission. This was very faithful to the novel.
Imagine if PureFlix made this film.
are u going to review the resurrection of gavin stone.
Steven Taylor They will if they are able to see it.
I saw one trailer for this movie, and I instantly thought it was another "Last Samurai" where a white person is the main character in a movie taking place in old time asia. The trailer did not do a good job of advertising the movie to me.
Who's Laura?
What's up!?!?
P l e a s e review Gavin Stone
You guys look like james franco and seth rogen
Say who now?
I wonder if any film makers would be brave enough to make a movie where Christians are doing the persecuting. One idea for such a movie would be a movie where Saint Patrick is the villain.
I get what you guys are saying, and I by no means hated this film, but I couldn't help but think of the hypocrisy of the situation here. It wasn't that long before (heck, you could probably find contemporary areas especially in the Americas and Africa) where Christian churches and particularly the Catholics were conducting persecution nearly EXACTLY to what was shown in the film. That the film showed no awareness of that really bothered me to the point where that combined with the fact that I thought the arguments from BOTH sides were crap meant simply could not give the movie a fair review.
That said, it is far, FAR better than anything put out by PureFlix. Night and day comparison.
This movie was boring I couldn't stay awake. BORING AS HELL!!!
