zealotry

Rating: 7/10 (10 March 2017)

Of course Scorsese is a great director, oh well, he had had his great moments, this one, i feel is a very personal movie. Struggling catholic as he is. Before the movie gets really interesting, about half time, you have to work yourself through a barrage of zealotry. Like, always a favorite amongst believers,: the silence of god as a proof of his presence; this bullshit is so persistent and tiresome. If we are focusing on this nonsense nothing will become of us, that's for sure. So..the movie; interesting story but the moment you start to question the premises, you see a deeply xenophobic( the people from Japan are unable to see and receive the grace of god blah blah) movie. Remember this movie is about jesuits that are persecuted and comfortably wants us to forget about the bloody inquisitions performed by the same order. In this sense i found this movie a total disgrace
