God's true challenge: will you walk out or bore to death?

Rating: 3/10 (20 March 2017)

If you like Scorsese and you are interested in a religious topic go no further than his underrated "The last temptation of Christ" from 1988.
However ff you give a chance to Silence, hope for no mercy. It's more than 2,5 hours of sheer boredom during which 3 out of 10 people walked out of the cinema and left us often wondering whether we were watching a really boring movie - or a comedy / self-parody.
A movie that uses 1 dimensional characters with no development and to whom you feel no connection - and watch them do completely senseless things in a world that neither you nor they understand: it doesn't seem to make sense. And it really doesn't.
The only positive thing of this movie is how memorable it was watching it: we found ourselves laughing at the (supposedly) most touching scenes, we saw people walking out in the middle of the movie and kept wondering: is it really the movie we had paid for or has there been some mistake in the projection room?
