Silence is Golden!

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2017)

This movie was wonderful! I was blown away by the cinematography and the story pulled you in. The theme of sacrifice, faith and devotion seemed almost futuristic in the presentation. I was glued to the screen and realized how beautiful the ugliness of these peasants really was. The acting was also superb and the way the story turned out was unexpected. Three hours is pretty long but I loved every minute of it. I think this movie should have Oscar buzz on it but I know the action loving public may not gravitate to the artistic perfection of this masterpiece. I think the way the movie is directed displays an almost religious theme to it and the actors seemed drawn into the his vision. The end made you think about your faith and convictions knowing the choices these people made seem unreasonable.
