Here, it was child abuse with more cruelty and few unbearable visuals. This was before Hollywood made Oscar Winning 'Spotlight' (2015), a film based on sensitive and taboo subject like spiritual abuse. Silenced is more brutal because it shows the cruelty against children, not adults. In all three films we see the wrong side of Law & Justice and we hate it like anything. 7', 'Hope' and now this 'Silenced' have convinced me to believe so. Not just this, i have seen two more films just recently to prove it.
But in real life it doesn't happen like that and this film proves it. Just like any fictional piece of writing, cops and court would do correct justice. You know i sometimes believe that this Law & Justice looks effective and useful only in reel world. Now, I admire Korean Realism for showing the Cruel and brutal true events happened in the society and how helpless victims can be. I have always admired the level of Brutalism and Realism in Korean films but earlier most of the times it was about thriller and revenge dramas.
Don't tell me that reading this don't leave your mind disturbed. Based on real events, Silence depicts the story of a school for the hearing-impaired where young deaf students girls and boys both were sexually assaulted by the faculty members over a long period of time. It proves again that Law & Justice is nothing but a big joke in real life. Brief Review - Another heart-wrenching and disturbing classic with Korean Realism.
