| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Celibate or not to be celibate? That IS the question in CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE |
| John Deery's debut written and directed social commentary thriller CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE from 2003 is an excellent and riveting look at the question of celibacy in The Irish Catholic Church.The question is raised that the humanity of priests has been denied since the 12th Century, and that the enforced sexual denial that is imposed upon them has lead to all sorts of lies,cover ups, but ultimately many unhappy men.That the Church has continued to enforce the celibacy rule while knowingly allowing the rule to continually be broken at the highest levels, and yet covered up and silenced is the heart of this well done, but still first attempt by film maker Deery.This film examines all sexual proclivity when it comes to the Priesthood and concludes that 100,000 Priests had vacated the Priesthood by the year he film was debuted.This is not a perfect film, though.There are many story lines introduced in this film, yet many of them are either rushed, not fully developed or simply left unresolved.The ending seems very rushed as if funding may have been limited in order to complete the film;but having said that, this film still is compelling enough in that it raises some very interesting and thought-provoking issues about human nature and the nature of taking vows to serve God in a place where being totally naturally human may be impossible.This is not a Catholic bashing film.It simply presents a side of the coin about which many have questioned over the years, be they Catholic or not.This film does boast an EXCEPTIONAL soundtrack and cinematography.Keep an eye out for more of John Deery in the future.We all start somewhere!
The fact that just yesterday. The Roman Catholic Church paid out $50 M to 100 Alaskan Natives for sexual abuse practices makes this film all the more timely.The Church cannot continue to turn its back on the truth...because eventually the truth WILL set them and their victims free. |
