Watched in 2017 (53 movies items)"2.3 Silencen ensimmäiset parikymmentä minuuttia on tyylikästä elokuvausta, mutta sisällöllisesti elokuva lähtee sulamaan hyvin pian. Lopulta elokuva alkaa pitämään katsojaakin tyhmänä ja selittelee tapahtumiaan niin, ettei mitään viitsitä jättää tulkinnanvaraiseksi. Kulttuurien törmäämisen käsittely on puolestaan taas ihan kivasti toteutettu ja harvakseltaan näytetty väkivalta tuntuu ihan luissa ja ytimissä asti, mutta valitettavasti päälimmäiset tunteet Silencesta j"

My Movie Diary 2017 (217 movies items)"27 January. In ancient Japan, two Portuguese priests brave the inquisition to teach Christianity, and face moral difficulties as their followers suffer torture and eventual death. Andrew Garfield shines in his role and the movie is directed by Martin Scorsese. The problem is that once the Grand Inquisitor talks, its hard not to find him obnoxiously funny--like a badly dubbed villain in Chinese movies, plus some of the Japanese actors are a bit hammy, they taint this very serious movie."

20 Favorite Movies From 2016 (20 movies items)" "I pray but I am lost. Am I just praying to silence?" The one thing that really bothered me is that Garfield, Driver and Neeson played Portuguese people, and they don't even speak portuguese. Other than that I couldn't find any flaws in this movie. Martin Scorsese is a movie genius. This movie should won Oscar for cinematography, the level of detail is remarkable."
Predicting the Winners of the 2017 Oscars (21 movies items)"And the Nominees are... *Greig Fraser- Lion *James Laxton- Moonlight *Rodrigo Prieto- Silence *Linus Sandgren- La La Land *Bradford Young- Arrival And the Oscar goes to... Despite it's shocking loss at the ASC awards, I'm still sticking with Snadgren's work. The long takes, pastel coloring and lighting tricks check off boxes that a winner for this category usually needs. It's no lock though; the ASC went for a surprise and picked Fraser's work on Lion, and the oscars could certainly follow "

On top of that, it wasn't exactly a huge critical success when it was released so, to be honest, I had lowered my expectations and I thought it might turn out to be a minor effort for this great master. Well, even though it was definitely one of his least accessible movies, the damned thing was actually quite spellbindi” read more

“Notes:
*We play this at my theater so I have the chance to go see it.
*The cast is an interesting one except for Ciaran Hinds who I just can't stand lol.
