"I feel so tempted. I feel so tempted to despair. I'm afraid. The weight of your silence is terrible. I pray, but I'm lost. Or am I just praying to nothing? Nothing. Because you are not there ."


"The price for your glory is their suffering."


"There's a saying in here: "Mountains and rivers can be moved but men's nature cannot be moved"."


"Be quiet. Don't speak to me. You have no right to speak to me.

Oh, I do. Because you are just like me. You see Jesus in Gethsemane and believe your trial is the same as His. Those five in the pit are suffering too, just like Jesus, but they don 't have your pride. They would never compare themselves to Jesus. Do you have the right to make them suffer? I heard the cries of suffering in this same cell. And I acted.

You excuse yourself! You excuse yourself! That is the spirit of darkness.

And what would you do for them? Pray? And get what in return? Only more suffering. A suffering only you can end. Not God! I pray too, Rodrigues. It doesn't help. Go on, pray. But pray with your eyes open. You can spare them. They call out for help just as you call to God. He is silent, but you do not have to be.

They should apostatize. Apostatize! God help me. Apostatize! Korobu! Korobu!”


“The man who was once Rodrigues ended as they wanted. And as I first saw him, lost to God. But as to that, indeed, only God can answer."

    The biggest failure of this film is that the audience "hears" the voice of God, which neither caters to the theme nor remains silent from beginning to end. Is it because the audience is afraid of abandoning religion after watching this film?

    The film may not only want to express beliefs, but to make people question authority, question themselves, and ultimately question whether people can really get spiritual sublimation along the spiritual path of the protagonist. This question is vigorous and powerful, and it is ashaming. Garfield once again proved his progressive acting skills, and the audience following the characters he created can slowly experience his transformation and insight from the physical to the spirit.

Silence quotes

  • Rodrigues: I thought that martyrdom would be my salvation. Please, please, God, do not let it be my shame. The Lord is my refuge, and my deliverer. My God is my helper, and in Him will I put my trust. Of the Blood, all price exceeding, shed by our immortal King, destined for the world's redemption.

  • Interpreter: But everyone knows a tree which flourishes in one kind of earth may decay and die in another.It is the same with the tree of Christianity.The leaves decay here.The buds die.
