An exhausting and infuriating film

To be quite fair, I skipped so many parts of this movie, because it was just so unbearable to watch, that I'm not sure I can say if it was good or not, all I can say is that I feel.... unsure and angry and sad and disappointed in humanity.

It was a very well-made movie with fantastic acting from the entire cast, especially the children, and I'm happy it created so much anger that it led to change in legislations in South Korea regarding the sexual abuse of children and people with disabilities, but I don't think it needed to put the child actors in a position where they had to film such graphic scenes.

I think the graphic nature completely destroys any rewatch value of the movie, and I'm questioning the need to risk potentially traumatizing these children. There has to be better ways to explore sexual assault in movies, especially of minors, in a way that does not put the actors at any risk.

I hope they had psychological support during the filming process, because no art is worth hurting a child.

Harrowing and heartwrenching

This was a really really heavy watch, but in the best way; I really felt emotionally invested in the main characters — both the adults who were doing the right thing against all odds, and for the children who we were watching learn to trust people again and actually act (and laugh) like kids should — and in the outcome of the legal process. In the end, it was a really bittersweet and realistic sort of ending, but it was the best I hoped for and I thought it was perfect.

The acting was so good for all the characters, but especially the three kids. I could feel their fear, their pain, and their hope in every single one of their scenes.

There were some parts of the story — more side aspects of complacency — that I wanted to see more of because of the moral greyness, but I understand why it wasn't the focus of the movie and I think the movie did just fine without it.

Injustice et long combat

Le film nous montre le long combat d'un prof d'art plastique contre les abus du directeur et des enseignant d'un collège, envers des enfants sourds. Ce film est dur, poignant, émouvant. On comprend que c'est toujours une histoire d'argent et de pouvoir car pour lutter contre des abus sexuels de la part de ces personnes, qui sont respectées dans la ville, ça n'est pas évident. Ils usent de leur pouvoir pour racheter les familles et même ce professeur en question. Heureusement qu'il refuse et qu'il fait tout pour aller jusqu'au bout.

Cette histoire est malheureusement arrivée dans la vraie vie. Les acteurs ont tous bien joué, mais je me mets leur place, ça peut être traumatisant... Le film est long mais prenant, et ne laisse pas indifférent à ce fléau.

A trama dessa historia envolvida por uma fotografia fria e sombria junto a sonografia que te trás a dor dos personagens é triste e dolorosa de acompanhar, o que ao meu ver foi o objetivo da produção. A cada cena, se você não sentir dor, tristeza, agonia, raiva, ódio, náuseas e uma vontade de acolher cada criança da historia, você assistiu errado ou precisa procurar um especialista. Nessa produção podemos identificar tantas criticas e semelhanças com a sociedade que infelizmente é de assustar, o preconceito, a exclusão, corrupção, negligencia infantil, abusos sexuais e de poder, violência.. são tantos pontos negativos presentes que a dor de acompanhar é inevitável e a tristeza em refletir que a trama não foge muito do que realmente acontece no mundo real infelizmente.

...

Le fait que «Silenced» soit tiré d’une histoire vraie, rend ce film encore plus terrible, déchirant et inhumain. Ce que traversent ces enfants, il n’y a pas de mots pour le décrire, rien qui ne pourrait être assez fort pour l’exprimer. Je m’attendais à ce que cette histoire soit difficile à regarder, mais pas à ce point. J’ai passé les deux heures qu’il a duré à vouloir prendre ses enfants dans mes bras pour les protéger, et vouloir faire payer ceux qui les ont blessés, ainsi que tous ceux qui les ont aidés, directement ou non. J’espère sincèrement que ceux qui ont été victimes de tout ceci vont mieux maintenant, et qu’ils ne sont pas seuls, mais bien entourés. Pour ce qui est du film lui-même, je le conseille vivement ! Oui, il est difficile à voir. Non, je ne le regarderai pas de nouveau. Mais ces enfants méritent que leurs histoires soient connues, et les acteurs, que ce soient ceux connus comme Gong Yoo, ou les enfants, ont tous joués avec brio ! «Silenced» est vraiment un de ces films qui ne peut laisser indifférent !

A primeira coisa que preciso dizer sobre esse filme, é que foi tremendamente díficil de assistir. Não por ser ruim, mas porque é doloroso. É de esmagar seu coração em pedacinhos.

Logo no começo, eles dizem que todo o filme foi baseado em fatos reais e isso pesa ainda mais na sua cabeça quando você descobre o que está acontecendo naquela escola. Eu tive que pular muitas partes do filme, por ser algo realmente difícil de assistir. Tem muitos gatilhos, então cuidado se você decidir assistir.

A atuação dos atores, principalmente das crianças, são impecáveis, o roteiro é ótimo, mas mesmo assim não é um filme que eu conseguiria assistir uma segunda vez.
