Totally missed the main theme of the original movie/novel

Rating: 4/10 (31 March 2018)

Scorsese's movie is a remake of a much greater Japanese classical film and it is based on a Japanese novel. As in "The Departed", Scorsese makes a remake of an Asian movie without being true to the main theme of the original one.
It is incredible how you create an adaption of "Chinmoku" with a happy ending. The movie is not about that. The entire story is a philosophical question about whether Jesus himself would have apostatized in that situation. The main idea is not to answer the question but to make the audience think about it. Scorsese answer the question himself and completely destroyed the main idea behind the movie.
