Where is there a place for a weak man

Rating: 6/10 (6 August 2017)

The film is based on a historical novel. It starts in 1633 when Buddhists began their Inquisition of Catholics, doing to Catholics what Catholics had done to non-Christians in Europe. Word gets to Europe that Father Ferreira (Liam Neeson) had given up the faith. Two of his students travel to Japan to find out if this is true. They discover an underground community of Christians in Nagasaki which they minister to. They hear confessions and perform Masses in Latin, something the community couldn't do themselves. Once discovered, it comes down to the priest having to deny his faith in order to save the lives of others.
The movie is filled with monologue whispers. At 65 minutes into the film, we hear the title mentioned in "the silence of God" a statement of questioning faith. The film was long and boring, watching people step on a silver plaque bearing the likeness of Jesus or not. Liam Neeson had a small role, but effectively explains the issue with Christian missionaries, both in Japan and elsewhere.
The film is dedicated to Japanese Christians and estimated minority of 1%-2.3 %. I saw the dedication as tongue-in-cheek.
