Watch "The Mission" (1986) instead...
Martin Scorsese is trying to copy his own material. And the original "Mission" was brilliant. Cant be copied. Well, it can be copied, but you get a boring, ridiculous mess like "Silence".
Adam Driver is no Robert de Niro. And the other leading actor just looks plain silly with his funny hairdo and beard. Simply laughable. It actually could be funny, IF only I were drunk enough to forget I have ever seen the brilliant "Mission". But I am not drunk, hence this movie "Silence" is an afront, an insult, to the earlier brilliant classic "The Mission".
For all those who have never seen director Martin Scorsese's earlier work, this movie might be edible. But for the love of classics, I cant imagine anyone seriously considering this to be a great movie, when he/she has seen the impressive classic " The Mission" before...
