silence? no, tedium

liam 'not that racist any more' neeson contemplates what the fuck he is doing in this shower of shite

 so i finally got around to watching silence

chiefly because some cool dutch bloke in xi'an was so effusive about it

holy fuck it was tedious

dont get me wrong

i love a good slow movie

i recently enjoyed once upon a time in anatolia

super!

and yi yi

genius!

massive explosions and laser beams are not obligatory for a good fillum

though they sure are big fun

but a film about fucking idiotic religious fundamentalists 

going to a foreign land

to brainwash none the wiser suckers

that their particular fairy tale was better than the one they already had

is bound to be a bit shit

unless somebody applied a bit of critical thinking

and hinted at just how fucking ignorant they were

sure

be faithful to the epoch

but how about a bit of enlightenment 

about the existing culture

about their equally valid and millenia old beliefs

(although not as old as nihon nationalists might have you believe)

mr scor fucking chazay has a fine track record

hell

he even beat ben johnson over the 1255 metres

at the twaddle games back in the graties

so one waits

and tom waits

for some punch

some oomph

but no

just the dreary

dragging on

of brainwashed bellends

on their desperate search

to save the fucking saouls

of the nihon jin

who already had it pretty much sorted

with super swords

and quality hair cuts

crazy wooden shoes

and ramen ffs!

its not big

its not clever

its just long

its just boring

(if pretty)

and to cap it all off

the portuguese speak english

as do the nihon jin 

when they are are unfortunate enough 

to spend kwality time with them

the poor local converts are tortured 

and suffer protracted

and excruciating ends

but they got off light

lying there in their own worlds tonight

compared to the 21st century viewing audience
