Silence

I was really excited about seeing this film having enjoyed the book so much. Ironically, despite it being a great film, I think it was my prior knowledge of the plot that spoilt my enjoyment slightly. It's that age old cliché of the film never living up to the book.

But I thought Scorsese did an amazing job, and I loved the decision not to have music in the film. I wasn't sure about the insinuations the ending made, and I think it might have deviated from the book slightly, but I'll have to go back and re-read to check.

Great cast of actors, beautifully shot. A good film overall. 7/10
