Eh, ok. Were any Catholics involved in making this film?

Rating: 5/10 (30 March 2019)

The acting between the three Jesuits in the beginning is awkward and doesn't seem Catholic. The Jesuits seem plastic and not even begin to possess the full range of human emotion. The faith of the actors seem one dimensional. Doubt is what makes martyred missionaries & faithful so heroic. The disagreement by The Jesuits was accurate. The Japanese actors were excellent. The doubt of the Jesuit later was helpful, but still plastic, artificial to human range. It is impossible to capture the nuances of the faith. The grief over the beheading was a bit much. What were they expecting? The emotional outbursts of the priests are a bit much. Martyrs go to their deaths singing and rejoicing. God is not silent. He speaks to the heart for those willing to hear. The silence should be from the priest. The priest's relationship is with and for Jesus. He serves and loves the people for the love of Jesus, not the other way around. The ending was good, though.
