Silence by Shūsaku Endō
5.0
"But that pain alone is enough. I understand your pain and your suffering. It is for that reason I am here."
"Lord, I resented your silence"
"I was not silent. I suffered beside you."
Silence - the movie - is one of my favorites of all time. It challenged my faith in a way I didn't expect through portraying scenarios I'll almost definitely never find myself in. Silence - the book - did similar; a different medium, but the same convicting and inspiring message. The major difference between the two, and the reason why I prefer the movie, is the hope-filled ending through the incredible final shot of the film. Despite that preference, Silence is a book and a story that I don't see myself forgetting, or even completely understanding, for a long time.
