Silence

I'll admit it, this film made me cry.
Also, since it's the Lent period right now, don't forget that 215 million Christians worldwide are still persecuted, tortured and killed for their faith in places like
>North Korea
>Somalia
>Afghanistan
>Pakistan
with 2019 expected to see a massive rise in the killing of Christians across Nigeria, China and India. That makes this the largest religious persecution in the world today.
Western news doesn't care about this, so please pray for your brothers and sisters in Christ around the world, bros. The worst we get is atheists tipping their fedoras online.

Also, Christkino thread I guess.

I need to rewatch this film because I didn't have any awareness of the world when I saw it first. Probably flew over my head.

>Also, Christkino thread I guess.
I can't believe I'm saying this about a pair of Jews but the Coens have a good deal of Christian know-how and morality from watching their films, especially Fargo and No Country for Old Men

Nolan's films are rooted in Christian values. TDK trilogy is the most archetypal Christian and politically conservative trilogy in ages and there won't be another one like it ever again.

It made me tear up as well. Watch The Last Temptation of Christ if you haven't. Peace.

I found the last temptation to be a bit blasphemous, to be honset. it just rubbed me the wrong way, adding in scenes and motivations that weren't in the Bible. Same with "Jesus invented the table" and all the demon scenes in The Passion of the Christ.

Scorsese's spin on that film was that whole "Make Jesus into a regular human being to make everything relatable" iirc. Weird take, but well done.

I feel sorry for transgender people and hope they can somehow find happiness amongst all the lies the media tells them. They are being set up for anguish and suicide and don't need any extra misery from us.

Christians killed people who wanted to follow other beliefs besides theirs during the crusades, so I'd say they're getting what's coming to them.

Silence does one thing really well: makes you hate and loathe that Japanese guy who keeps fucking over Christians, denouncing Christ over and over, then feeling guilty and crawling back asking for forgiveness over and over again.
Then you realise that it's directly asking you to do that one hard thing Jesus demanded Christians do.
" Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven (infinite) times."

Best picture of the 2010s. When we lose Scorsese, there will be nothing left.

Revenge has never made anything better, user. And the Christian women being raped in Nigeria and Syria to convince them to abandon Christ had nothing to do with the Crusades.

Apostasy is a mortal sin.
This film is evil.
Scorsese is damned.

I'm happy to be judged. Nothing against trannies for their being trannies, but the Tumblr pedos that buried this board and ever other major board after they got banned off there need to be scalped. Fuck these faggot mods that never ban cunts who post CP and other pedoshit but screech anytime someone makes a non-leftist post.

the heart of Last Temptation is the struggle of Jesus being man and god and how the ending is surviving the final temptation/trick/test of Satan to ascend into being no longer a man but a spiritual entity fully

>makes you hate and loathe that Japanese guy who keeps fucking over Christians
Kichichiro right? God I hated that fag

I like his films but let's calm down. He's a fucking pedo apologist

I hate that I can't find a clip of him yelling "MOTHER WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME" anywhere online

The Coens are like Mel Brooks, Jews who are sympathetic and sincere about other people and minimize the nepotism to make quality work.

I'm talking about his art, not his politics. Chinatown is a great film no matter how many girls Polanski rapes, although unfortunately that director hasn't made something that moved me since Death and the Maiden. The point is, I don't consider that criticism of Scorsese to be relevant to the topic at hand.

Picrelated is more Christkino than it is a mystery film. The religious conflict is the whole subtle heart of the entire thing. Fuck Hugh Jackman for hanging with kidfucking sodomites though.

This. Is this really a Christian film? He apostasizes at the end. He works for them the rest of his life and has hapa children. Sure he dies with the crucifix but he rejected Christ.

It's a tricky one because the Japanese Shogunate was completely based on making the people worship the samurai and Emperor as gods, worship the ancestors etc, and that you had to live and die for them without complaint. Japan itself was made by the sun God and the Emperor is a living god descended from Amaterasu.
A new religion coming in and saying that actually there is only one God, that the emperor and the government are just humans and that Jesus saves you for free without you having to pay anything would have undermined the whole system of control and had to be stamped out.

Catholics get hung up on the small details, but if you are truly sorry Christ will forgive and welcome you back countless times. He knows what it is to live as a human and to be tempted and persecuted.

I personally think Scorsese,being catholic, felt guilty about that movie and made Silence to really show his Catholic self. Btw i know he had been working on making the movie for years even before Last temptation it's just weird how he made a movie that was somewhat dumb with its christian thinking and another that understands christian suffering.

Ironic when Christians are safer in Pakistan than Muslims are in New Zealand.

Jesus basically told him he only cares about his heart, not the outward action. By stepping on the fumie he ended the suffering of all those around him

I'm biassed so I'm gonna say Christianity would have been better, but the Japanese system at the time was to close their borders and outlaw any foreigners coming into Japan and any Japanese leaving Japan (to avoid foreign ideas polluting the country).
As you can probably guess, the rest of the world developed amazing weapons whilst japan sat there stagnating, like someone just turtling in Starcraft. Then America turned up one day with super advanced ships and cannons and guns and basically made Japan their bitch.
So any system that didn't close the country off totally would have been better. I mean, shit, at least send spies out to see what advancements the rest of the world is creating.

Fuck off.

it is, but its followers are also persecuted in some parts of the world. both points can be true, it's not a tautology.

I think it would have been better if we never heard Jesus speak to him. There would be way better debates on if it was the right thing to do or not when he stepped on it but now that the audience knows he was told to I don't understand why it's even a question

>NOW you care about niggers

>stepping on the fumi-e was just a formality
now youre just trying at semantics here but ill still reply by saying that there are no gray areas in what Jesus said “But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.” its the precise reason why they were told to step on the image of christ is because it was a public denial of him which is why they had them do it. there is no formality loophole about the situation.

or watch Malick's "the tree of life." It's basically a theodicy that answers the question in the same way the book of Job does

At odds with the other members of his clergy, he decides to go on a religious journey with the two women, but manages to accidentally alienate or ruin almost everyone he meets.

I watched the Pasolini Matthew's Gospel the other day. It had its moments, but it wasn't as fine as I had been led to believe. The Whited Sepulchres speech was particularly strong though, makes sense given the angle Pasolini was going for.

The Diary of a Country Priest directed by another one of Tarkovsky’s favorites Robert Bresson
>An inexperienced, sickly priest shows up in the rural French community of Ambricourt, where he joins the community's clergy. But the locals don't take kindly to the priest, and his ascetic ways and unsociable demeanor make him an outcast. During Bible studies at the nearby girls school, he is continually mocked by his students. Then his attempt to intervene in a family feud backfires into a scandal. His failures, compounded with his declining health, begin to erode his faith.

Point of interest: Scorsese had met with Shusaku (the book's author) who hated an earlier film made from the book because it changed some key plot details. Scorsese promised him that he'd make a faithful film adaptation and even though it took over twenty years (by which point Shusaku had long since passed away), he did eventually keep his promise.

>agnostic
Bunuel was a pretty hardcore fedora bro

damn

I like when the kids sing in Hebrew at the end. Ashira l'Adonai

It depends on what stage of Bunuels life you’re talking about, here’s a couple excerpts from his book written just before his death in 1983
>I don’t like the desert, the beach, the Arab, the Indian, or the Japanese civilizations, which makes me distinctly unmodern. To be frank, the only civilization I admire is the one in which I was raised, The Greco-Roman Christian.
>He (Eugenio d’Ors Catalonian philosopher) was the author of a line I often cite against those who seek originality at the expense of the everything else. “What doesn’t grow out of tradition,” he used to say, “is plagiarism” something about this paradox always seemed to me profoundly true
>According to the latest reports, we now have enough nuclear bombs not only to destroy all life on the planet but also to blow the planet itself, empty and cold, out of its orbit altogether and into the immensity of the cosmic void. I find that possibly magnificent, and in fact I’m tempted to shout bravo, because from now on there can be no doubt that science is our enemy. She flatters are desires for omnipotence—-desires that lead inevitably to our destruction. A recent poll announces that out of 700,000 “highly qualified” scienstist now working throughout the world, 520,000 of them are busy trying to streamline the means of our self destruction, while only 180,000 are studying ways of keeping us alive. The trumpets of the apocalypse have been sounding at our gates for years now, but we still stop up our ears. We do, however, have four new horsemen: overpopulation (the leader, the one waving the black flag), science, technology, and the media.

imo NCFOM is the best film that has ever been made

This is a reasonable opinion

>" Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
>Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven (infinite) times."
The real question here is what did Peter really mean when he asked by "brother or sister in Christ"?
Did Jesus Christ ever mention who his fellow brothers or sisters are? Hmm...

TLDR: Bunuel was basically a Luddite, in fact, when The Milky Way was released leftist groups basically branded Bunuel a traitor and some claimed it was propaganda funded by the Vatican.

Martyrdom is the one thing I wish the church would speak out against. There’s no point in getting yourself killed because you won’t deny your faith or god. If you truly believe, a gun in your face isn’t going to change that, nor will some hollow words of denial. It’s an archaic philosophy. Stay alive to spread the good word. Even if it means telling the bad guys what they want to hear

that goes against so many verses of the bible but you do you.

When did the Vatican start to become subverted from without? Was it before the Reformation or after?

I’m aware of that but we aren’t living 2000 years ago. We should be smarter than our predecessors and realize that we would be better off serving the church alive.

Japs did nothing wrong, if religious demographic changed in japan you would've been slaughtering them or there would've been a divided japan. That's what happened all over the world and lowkey is still happening now because even now christians and muslims can't help but come to us and scream about their books to us. You lot are like muslims in this regard, cry when you fail or small, and persecute when in position of power.

Also china does nothing wrong, and india doesn't do anything even close to china which it should be doing.

Honestly it's a complex issue. It actually makes me think of a few things Jordan Peterson says.
One is about belief, essentially that what someone says they believe doesn't really matter. True belief is acted out, not spoken.
The other is about the Logos, and how it's connected to truth. He says that truth is extremely powerful, and we should all strive to tell the truth all the time because if you do it helps bring order to the chaos of the world.
Personally, I don't believe that God would want us to die just to avoid lying to an evil person.

>Hey just deny me when things get tough for you or those around you. Wouldn't want you to have to suffer and possibly die for your faith or anything.
t. fake scosese jesus

Christians should actually be ready to die at any moment and be at peace with death. This lifetime is but a blink of an eye when compared to eternity with God. You should never reject Christ in any circumstance, even certain death. You were told you would be persecuted and possibly killed when you accepted Christ. Christ died for you and the power of your faith to never apostatize will impact the bad guys even if you do not believe it. A person in this thread already posted Matthew 10:33.
The bad guys are going to kill you anyway. Your words in the future will not mean anything to people you try to spread it to if you are not willing to die for them. Why would they, if your priority is on survival in this fallen world instead of dying for what is true, they have reason to think you do not truly believe and therefore the gospel is false.

I’m conflicted about it. On one hand missionaries just show up and do their thing peacefully. On the other hand I can imagine how annoying it must be seeing your way of life threatened by parasites who are too timid to fight back.

This is the shit that makes people think Christianity is a cult

so peter isn't in heaven?

Hypothetically if every Christian in the world had a gun to their head and could only be freed by denying their faith, what would be the point? The religion would die with them.

I became Christian after seeing this film

He did answer that question, though, with the parable of the good Samaritan

Calvary is brilliant but I’m not sure if a non-Irish person would enjoy it as much

But nips already had a foreign religion (buddhism) imposed on them by the elite centuries before. Shinto wasn't even an organised religion before the meji restoration, just some folk beliefs that differed from valley to valley.

>Jesus invented the table
I took that as a Roman commissioned project or something

That's what the Romans thought.
Yet the blood of the martyrs grew the Church and many of her greatest saints are martyrs.

>He did answer that question, though, with the parable of the good Samaritan
No, that parable is about the Golden Rule.

Luke 10 NIV translation

The Parable of the Good Samaritan

25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ c ; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ d ”

28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

This is actually a sound point. Christianity wouldn't even exist today if early christians didn't practice their religion in secret in the Roman Empire. Is hiding any sign that you're a christian and avoiding being suspected of being one any different from outright denying when asked? Plenty of christians did deny it back then. There's a reason martyrdom for the faith is equal to sainthood. It cannot be reasonably expected of an average man but it's something to be admired.

This issue was argued back then and the bishops of the church decided that renoucing your faith was a sin that could however, be fixed by repentance. The very concept of repentance in christianity developed during that argument.

Actually Peter had to do penance for that. Resurrected Jesus humiliated him in front of the other apostles by asking him three times if he even loved him. Incidently Peter was also tortured and killed for his faith.

Within the first century apostles had missionaried east to India, south to Ethiopia, and east to Greece and Italy. Churches had been set up all over Asia minor within 20 years of the crucifixion. I don't think it was as much as an underground cult punishable by death until Constantine as people make it out to be.

Is there any Protestant kino or are Lifetime-tier movies the best they can do?

This is a based and redpilled Christkino documentary that’s relevant to the topic of Christian persecution, torture, and killing. Unfortunately (((many people))) deny it happened, to the point of censorship.

They don't do things peacefully or even morally. North east india has christian separatist movements because of recent conversions. They target poor and needy tribals and ask them to convert for a bag of rice taking advantage of their pitiful circumstances. They call bible a "veda" or "upanishad" to dupe unsuspecting uneducated hindus. Most of all they are disrespectful and against everything we stand for but act like they are doing us some favour. God damn these christian and muslim cults, their theology demands them to constantly annoy and persecute us.

Remember to reject denominationalism. There is only one church, the one that Christ built. Do not follow these false teachers such as Catholics with their adding and taking away of the scriptures, infant baptism (and sprinkling) and holidays with heathen routes. The Catholic church is not "the first church", but it is one of the first denominations. Don't be fooled. Worship as the Christians did in the first century.

The Catholic church was much later, after Christendom had already morphed into something very different from it's jewish followers. The first "schism" within the worshippers of Christ was not Catholic/Orthodox or Orthodox/Aryan, but on how to treat the gentiles who wanted to join. There was the jewish christians (the original orthodox) and the new Pauline christians who more or less wanted to ignore Matthew 5:17 in order to embrace the "gentiles"

I don't know of any modern christian denomination who reject Paul, eat kosher and circumcise.

Reminder that Catholicism propagated the true faith to every buttcrack of the universe while Protestants were busy jewing eachother,

I think the coens kinda dislike Judaism and respect Christianity a lot more.

I mean look at a serius man and then watch hail cesar.

Or Ladykillers
Or O brother where are though

better imho

Best as in most closely representative of Christianity without explicitly mentioning it, or just the best movie with Christian ideas/themes? The former is probably Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe because it's almost a direct 1-to-1 allegory for the Gospel story (which was Lewis's intent for the books), the latter would be way to broad to narrow down.

I love Silence. One of my favourite films ever.

This precisely the reason I stopped calling myself a christian, because non believers love to lump you in with other self proclaimed Christians.

I was at a discussion about race and some other shit (it was required for the course and I go to school in San Francisco) and some Muslim dude, i forget the exact context, but he commented "What about the Christians during the crusades who killed thousands?"

And exactly what he was doing to Christianity and the crusades, I could say about Muslim terrorism. And both of us would have the same answer "THEY ARE NOT REAL CHRISTIANS/MUSLIMS"

Though tbf Trump is a fucking Jew servant himself

don't forget that 215 million people worldwide are still persecuted, tortured and killed for their faith


dont worry bro we're all stardust nothing matters lol

I think the message is there are extremists in every religion. The movie in OP's pic is an example of Buddhists being murderous and violent.

I'm a Catholic Christian myself and I go to church every sunday (more than can be said for at least half the altrighters larping as Christians in the internet) and i will respect anyone who respects me and my religion. If a Muslim respects my faith and beliefs and is not an Islamist; I respect them. If a Jew respects my faith and beliefs and is not a Zionist, I respect them. You get the picture.

Dying for your faith is the highest honour a Christian can experience. Anyone who believes death is the end is not a true Christian, it's just the start of something new.

Most of the themes apply to any county with a reasonably large catholic population. Struck a chord with me. Australian btw.

Crusades were a war that happened 1000 years ago when literally everyone fought a war of conquest. Anyone who bashes the crusades or Islamic conquests using modern day morality is a retard. Wars of conquest were normal things back then.

so individual christians are responsible for everything done in the name of christianity for the past 2000 years? do you not realise what an asinine argument that is?

they do, but Christ is ever-forgiving. that’s literally one of the fundamental doctrines of christianity. forgive your brother not seven times, but seven times seventy-seven times.

Saw this with my old pastor years after not being Christian anymore. He literally cried for days and said he wouldn't step. I would in a second to get those people out of their suffering. Giving up my pride and my God and maybe even going to hell seems like more of a sacrifice that Jesus would do.

I'm so torn over this film anons, one one side it is a man torn apart because he wants to be faithful and is ready to be a martyr, but he is also arrogant because he is pursuing perfect and Ferrera suggests that he fancies himself like Christ.

The Vatican loved it, but it was that faggot Francis. E Michael Jones hated it and said it was blasphemy. Clergymen are divided on it. Peter denied Christ and was forgiven, but Christ said the only unforgiveable sin is to deny Him.

What do you anons think? Is Rodriguez in hell now?

it's great but it has a very anglo-irish sense of humour. Super gallows humour and very dead pan. If you like that you will love Calvary.

It's exceptional and never really gets mentioned on Yea Forums unfortunately. Kieslowski was great.

This guys got a point. I would bet my last dollar that we would have a lot less people claiming to be trans or gay if we had a greater sense of belonging in western culture. A lot of people end up adopting these identities because they are desperate to belong.

No because he never stopped believing, he just had to believe in silence, hence the title. Jesus did say "render unto Caesar", meaning He understood that people have to abide by the rules of the land.

haha what a faggot

Christians and their churches are constantly under attack in the USA. They have the wrong color of skin tho.

forgive my pure ignorance, but isn't the Catholic stance that scripture isn't like the Koran and it shouldn't be read literally, but I also see a lot of people defending/condemning this movie based on quoting the bible as if it were a mechanics manual. Is that a really evangelical approach? Or have I got this all mixed up.

That's not an argument tho and theodicy is one of the most complex problems in theology.

Kirishitans deserved everything they got for betraying their Gods and their own people. Them of all people playing the victim after what they pulled is hilarious.

I'm not an expert on eschatology, but as far as I know, the Bible can't possibly be read literally because it's a collection of different books from differing viewpoints written over a few thousand years.. Whereas the Koran had a singular author with a singular viewpoint written at one time.

This guy is right the church should have petitioned the Portuguese crown to launch a full invasion of Japan

Attached: 1544885482187.png (245x451, 206K)

Look at what the converts did in Japan as well. They sold hundreds of thousands of those who didn't convert (like they did in exchange for guns because they were too lazy to make their own like the other clans) into slavery, burned and desecrated ancient temples and sites of worship, and then played victim when justice was brought down upon them.

Yeah, I agree, but why point in bringing it up is that people go HAM on Silence and say it doesn't follow X instruction from the Bible, but my understanding of Catholicism is that they take the bible and church history, and a long line of scholarship into account, rather than just quote the book and say the case is closed. Doesn't seem so Catholic to me.

But then some people do the opposite and quote the bible to trash the film, but then that's a Protestant approach which a Catholic wouldn't care about, presumably?

Lmao as if they could have. Portugal never could have, even at the later times when Britian and France could embarrass the Asian superpowers, they couldn't have. In fact during the closing days of the Sengoku Era the Spanish and Portuguese were told not to start shit with the Japs as they would end up embarassing themselves. This was after the Japanese blew up some giant Portuguese warship with nothing but some junks they set on fire and rammed it with.

based retarded historylet

‘Trample! Trample! I more than anyone know of the pain in your foot. Trample! It was to be trampled on by men that I was born into this world. It was to share men’s pain that I carried my cross!’

I interpreted it to have nothing to do with his personal suffering and more of God ending the mission to Japan

t. actual retarded historylet
Real life isn't a video game. The amount of men the Portuguese would have needed to invade, let alone conquer and hold Japan, would have been impossible to supply, even from their closest colonies. At the end of the 16th century the Japanese were more adept with firearms and had them in greater numbers than any European country.
