For this assignment you will watch and write a review of Martin Scorsese’s award winning film Silence. This film is an adaptation of the classic novel of the same name, written by Japanese Christian Shisaku Endo. Based upon the true story of Jesuit missionaries in Japan, Silence is a powerful account of the suppression of the Japanese church in the 17th century
It is rated ‘R’, vividly portraying the suffering of Japanese Christians, and therefore can be difficult to watch at times. If you do not feel comfortable watching this, please let me know, and we will discuss another alternative. (One is reading the novel itself, which is not long, but will certainly take more time than the movie.)
A typical movie review includes a brief account of the plot and main characters, along with identification of the key situations, themes and ideas being dealt with in the movie. A review then provides an analysis of the movies strengths and weaknesses. Such analysis may address such topics as the quality of the dialogue or acting, power of the story telling, the depth of the development of characters and the world they inhabit, the importance of the issues being addressed and the extent to which the movie successfully addresses these issues, and so on. With this assignment make sure that you identify connections with themes in the class, which is the main reason I’ve assigned you to watch Silence.
