Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Kruse ... it's hate overflowing my body. This movie is a good as it is gets. It is rare that I want to grab a movie villain's neck and strangle him but in this case, I don't care what else I'll see the principals and the teacher in. They'll always be the manipulative child abusers I have just witnessed. This movie has simply left me shocked which is rare. I had no problem watching A Serbian Film but this movie had one specific scene that made me gag. The bathroom scene with Min-soo's little brother. I had to rewatch to be sure it was just a doll. But as soon as I noticed the "doll" move I was so close to throw up. That is something I have never seen in ANY movie! Though it was disturbing I must give a standing ovation to the actors in that scene. How brave of them to put themselves in that kind of scenario.Speaking of actors, can you get any better child actors?! Jesus Christ on the cross, these kids are so good, I would not be surprised if I was watching a documentary. Defintely a good watch... if you have the stomach for it. Make sure to be hydrated though, otherwise the tears will dry you out.

Alan H This movie is incredibly powerful, at some points i couldn't hold my tears.The movie has portrayed true events in a masterfully done way. The cinematography/atmosphere and the music are superb.This movie really made me sad and angry at the world at the same time. At some points in the movie i wished i could be there and take a gun and take justice in to my own hands.It portraits the true nature of how evil and disgusting human beings can be. The sheer fact that the system and those who "abide" the law are corrupt, and still manage not to give a damn about what happened to those children, is beyond my understanding.The movie got me frustrated at many points and i just wanted to punch the protagonist in the face for not taking justice in to his own hands. You see evil in front of you and you see that the majority of the people running the system, the laws are bad and corrupt, and you think by yourself, why not punish all those evil bastards? and i don't care how it is done, as long as they get punished.At some point one gets the realization that there is no hope in this world. Our society is run by sociopaths and psychopaths. It shows that money can do anything, and that human life and a child's innocence means nothing to those in power. I'm really angry after watching this movie and so sad at the same time... i can't keep getting this movie out of my head.This movie deserves an Oscar and should be seen by everyone! 8.8/10

dilan gur I really hate the person who are taking theirs future from children.I think this status which certainly is unforgivable,should have got hard penalty.Because this is a killing.Person whom I am calling killer,easily can kill children's future.Silenced which is affecting me about all children who are disabled and helpless,is a movie which is telling us real world.After I had learned that this evil which this person still make,I was angry one more time.And also I learned that even though everybody can hear everything,somebody can't listen disabled children like a child who is deaf in Silenced.Child actors who are in this movie really because they are at a lot of scene which normally person easily can't watch.

rpannier Gang In-ho takes a job working at a school for the hearing impaired in Gwangju. The movie opens with him driving to the school (and having an accident) about the same time as a young boy from the school commits suicide by walking in front of a train. From almost the beginning of his time at the school, he notices that something seems out of kilter. The school seems almost dark and unfeeling. The students not particularly friendly and one teacher is just damned mean. The movie focuses on two sisters, one of whom is especially stand-offish and the other, unfriendly and with issues about eating and their brother who seems to be bloodied and bruised worse every time he comes to class. We eventually learn that the two girls are being abused physically and sexually by the Principal and the Asst Principal with the knowledge of one female teacher, the security guard, a local police officer and at least one staff member (who is abusing the boy both physically and sexually) The teacher enlists the help of Seo Yu-jin, a human rights activist to help the children (and him) Initially they find little support for their cause. The police are totally disinterested in what Yu-jin tells them. Partially because here in Korea making the establishment look bad is not something people do readily and partially because the police officer is a fairly high ranking figure within the department. Finally, they turn to YTN News. And a reporter does an interview with the children that is seen on TV throughout Korea. The police reluctantly spring into action and arrest the principal, asst principal and the teacher -- no one else. The movie then moves onto the second trial. The children are 'raped' again, this time by members of the establishment. The Superintendent for Public Instruction and the defense lawyer try to bribe the teacher into ending the case. When he refuses, they pay off the aged and mentally feeble grandmother of the children. The local evangelical community rallies to the defense of the principal. The prosecutor seems to be on the side of justice, but in the end, it appears he left the children hanging out to dry. The movie is extremely graphic and painful. The rape scenes are not glossed over and the physical abuse of the oldest brother is difficult to watch. But more painful, is the end of the trial where the audience is left frustrated, angry and saddened by the way these three children (and their dead brother) are left with nothing even remotely resembling justice. What makes this hard to take is that, while the movie is based on the events, the events still happened and they were as horrid as the movie describes. And were it not for the book and this movie some of these people would have continued with their lives as if nothing had happened. A definite 10.
