Silence by Shusako Endo

From the late 16th century to the early 17th century, missionaries of the Jesuits visited Japan to spread Christian faith. Initially, these jobs worked, nearly 300,000 people converted to Christianity. However, their existence is unpopular as time goes on, as they are seen as outsiders who are interested in changes in Japanese culture. As a result, Christian missionaries began to infiltrate Japan. This led to the systematic exclusion of many Japanese Christian and Jesuit missionaries. In the novel "Silence", Shuu Endo detailed the discrimination and suffered from the suffering of many Christians who endured Japan at this time.

These are questions raised by Martin Scorsese's latest film, Silence. This movie was adapted from a novel of the same name by Japanese writer Shoko Endo. Endo wrote his story from a rare perspective of Japanese Catholicism. When you see the movie, you will understand why Catholic is considered rarely in Japan. This story is the story of two pastors of the Jesuits who must find mentors and enter Japan. Ferreira was arrested, forced to betray, he became a Buddhist philosopher. After entering Japan, two Jesuits, Father Rodriguez and Priest Gallupe, found a community of Christians who had secretly lived with the Japanese government. As Christianity is illegal, anyone who discovers religious practices must abandon faith and betray the meaning of entering Jesus' idols. This community is similar to the early Christian community forbidden by the Romans.
