John Woo’s latest film, Silent Night, is a departure from his previous works. The movie tells the story of Brian Godlock, a man who is rendered voiceless after being shot in the throat while trying to seek revenge for the death of his young son in a gang war. What sets this film apart is its lack of spoken dialogue, forcing Woo to convey the story visually. This newfound constraint has revitalized Woo’s storytelling abilities, as he expertly uses freeze-frames and other formal devices to delve deeper into Brian’s psyche. The result is a visually stunning film that explores themes of grief, pain, and the lack of communication in a world filled with violence. While the action sequences are intense and skillfully choreographed, the film does not glamorize violence or offer any heroism. Silent Night is a dark and nightmarish look into the consequences of violence, a departure from Woo’s earlier, more flamboyant works.
