Silence can be very loud
Sometimes it's not what's not said that is important. There is very little dialogue in SILENCE. http://www.storycrafttraining.blogspot.com

HARD FAITH - Scorsese's SILENCE
Tonight Pam, and I screened a preview of Scorsese's SILENCE with a group of friends in Ann Arbor. As usual, Scorsese presents a compelling story with a moral dilemma that few of us think about or want to think about. SILENCE is also the kind of film I wish Christians could learn to produce—hard hitting, unflinching, explicit faith, deeply spiritual, and very difficult. No easy answers here. This is not a film about praying, getting saved, and all is happy at the end. But it is a film about praying...when God is silent...which often it seems that He is...and what real faith entails.
No analysis, too early. But here are the links:
