Silence and knowing thyself

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2017)

Any film director is characterized by his movies. Scorcese is not the exception. Some of his movies are violent, erotic, and filled with history. The movie Silence is a particular one, due that the lack of violence, erotism and the rapid movement of the camera shows us another version of this great director. You may call it an apology of Christianity or a complaint against this religion. But the fact is that this movie shows us when 2 great religions find each other: Budhism and Christianism. Both religions teach peace, but their essence is completely different:
Buda is a state where all men can become and then be happy and become one with God Salvation comes with the knowledge of true love to be happy with God
There is a slight difference in those religions. The movie explains it so well, that it may help you (if you believe) to realize what your religion is about. If you aren't religious then is a cultural knowledge to understand this religions.
The movie is about jesuit "padres" that go to Japan to evangelize a new and unexplored civilization. After 20 years, the missionaries are being put to death in the most horrid ways ever, for altering the peace and destroying the cultural and religious identity of the country. Why make others think the way you think? Why not let people live and let live their lives? https://pensarparaserfeliz.wordpress.com/2017/03/14/silence-and- knowing-thyself/
