Just saw this. Not going to lie, I found it mostly boring. I guess it was just the story of the guy questioning his faith and the point of the suffering but, as a complete layman, it wasn't satisfying.
Why not just lie and say you're not a Christian? Is Scorsese just playing out his existential crisis on screen?
How does someone bear living in some Japanese shithole after growing up in Europe? Seeing those villagers living shitty boring lives early in the movie makes it really easy to see how they can only look at religion for meaning. Even in 2016 people get existential crises when entertainment exists, so imagine being bored as fuck back then.
I know I will be dismissed and insulted simply for asking the "dumb" (i.e., fundamental) questions.
Multiple people walked out, though I wasn't close to doing that. Also I went to an evening showing on my own and literally everyone else in the foyer was in couples. >tfw no gf.
Also, I went to an Islam study school when I was younger and have experienced many religious things first hand. I have first hand experience in finding it all boring. I will be trolled for asking the "dumb" questions by people with even less religious experience than me. Not that I should have to mention this, but there are many pretentious people who are cargo cult religion worshippers.

If you're going to make a thread about a movie not on the movie board at least not post it with a retarded rant

Pfft I've had five theophanies, fourteen seperate and documented miracles and last year six different virgin mary statues cried blood for me.

This may be a shock to you, but some people actually believe in the religion they follow.

It's almost like that his religion has forbidden him to do that.

Not OP, but I don't exactly understand that. Wouldn't an all-loving God be cool with one lying to save oneself from torture and/or death?

No, because there are quite a few stories that in the bible that show God protecting people who don't deny him. Lion's den, fiery furnace etc.
Also, its the one "unforgivable sin" in the bible to deny knowing God

He is a catholic. The church, to which he must adhere teaches that he cannot do this. Therefore to do it is to go against his religion.
