Inoue is basically a playground "stop hitting yourself" bully.

I wonder why they portrayed Inoue as such a... cartoon, in the movie.
I mean, I liked it, but it seemed like an odd choice for such a somber film.
Maybe that's how he really was, who knows.
He didn't seem like a cartoon to me. He was funny, but I was still able to take him seriously
>Maybe that's how he really was
Work is fiction. Endo even had to defend himself because of that. It's not representative of Japanese Christians, it's not representative of Japanese Catholics, and it's not historically factual.
I saw the movie recently and I thought he wasn't portrayed like a cartoon. He wasn't really funny or shot in an exaggerated way, he was just intentionally grating. He was supposed to be "above" all the horrors of his administration so as to make the audience hate him (well-dressed compared to the prisoners, always in dignified poses, etc.). He is constantly swatting at flies to show how imperious and irritable he is. Also it makes him more human than just this monolith of pure evil that you could characterize as the devil or something.
Did you read it? You don't sound like an idiot like the anons preceding you here.
Try reading the books you simple minded faggots
Yes, I did read the novel. It was a pretty painful and profound experience. I thought the movie, while inferior to the book, was a pretty notable achievement.
Movie not released in my country yet, should I watch it when it is ?
I haven't seen the movie yet but I've read the novel. Wasn't super impressed to be honest. Maybe it's the translation that was poor, but I'd be surprised if the people singing its praises ITT (or Scorsese, for that matter) read it in the original.
I don't mean to say that it isn't a competent work of fiction, either. Just that it didn't have this huge, evocative resonance that has been promised by the hype.
