Silence is an epic about Japanese missionaries that director Martin Scorsese has been dreaming about for almost three decades, ever since he read the book. It is a film adaptation of Šusaku Endo's 1966 novel entitled Silence about two Jesuit priests from Portugal. In the 17th century, in search of a lost mentor, they find themselves in Japan, where the last days of the Christian faith are counted, so they encounter a series of dangers in locating the missing mentor. The story is true.
Silence (Silence) is the movie it's about Martin Scorsese dreamed of since 1989 and the first after the movie The Wolf of Wall Street. The end of the year (just in time to get involved in the fight for Oscars 2017) will still see the premiere of his long-standing project. In the film, they play the roles of priests Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver, and he immersed himself in the role of the missing mentor Liam Neeson.

Historical drama based on the novel Silence from 1966 and it is not Scorsese's first film based on a book by religious theme. So was the movie The Last Temptation of Christ starring Willem Dafoe from 1988, based on the 1951 book by the Greek Nikos Kazantzakis.
