This song' always made me sad, but they add a beauty to it, a path in thinking different to it. God bless all the monks in silence, praying for a world lost and weeping. And do not look away from the camera... that was heartbreaking to see. You are loved even if unseen.

Setting this music to a movie as profound and SILENT as Into Great Silence is criminal. Nothing wrong with the song itself, but it has *nothing* to do with this deeply important film. I feel it defiles it.

I think OP doesn't actually understand the meaning of this song. Also, I've seen the film and although I'm not Catholic (but was when this film was released) I think it speaks to one's heart regardless of his faith. I also like The Sound of Silence but this "Gregorian" cover (and set to this movie) is just weird..

We are not as orthopraxic as in Islam. What is your confession ? Protestant ? Evangelist ? Then you have no right to speak about it.

Yes, the music totally takes away from the profundity of this masterfully captured film which so beautifully conveyed life in this monastery. I was jarred and hugely disappointed upon hearing it overlayed on this great film. I'm sure the uploader meant well but totally missed the mark! Moral of story: leave masterpieces alone, they speak perfectly already

@@yanikm2372 Exactly!

I found this profoundly moving.

Hermosa la canción, hermosas las voces, hermoso el filme, pero sobre todo HERMOSA LA ORDEN DE LOS CARTUJOS. LOS CARTUJOS Y LOS PADRES DEL DESIERTO a mí me motivan a seguir los pasos del SEÑOR JESUS.

My brother is a Choirmonk at a Carthusian Monastery in Italy. He has permission to be away from the Cloister because of serious family issues and when he came to visit our mother, he got hit by a car - just so you'll know why is not their. Also, he was an Agnostic his whole life but we both had a Catholic School through high school. Our mother was not a practicing Catholic either. Anyway, I showed him this clip and he was quite amused. He did, as I do people, it was quite funny. Regardless of your faith and the degree of your faith and it's depth in your heart and soul, there is a time to lighten up. The Prior of his Monastery thought it was hysterical. Unfortunately, he couldn't watch it and Fr. Augustine was told he should mention it in Confession but it is probably just a venial sin because he didn't have permission and he is still a Carthusian Choirmonk. But it is quite good and for those that take their Faith a seriously, lighten up. It's okay to laugh at things about your Faith if it just a harmless episode like this. And that comes from 2 Choirmonk in an Order so strict, we also laugh at documentaries about the trappists

Into Great Silence

[@walterm.robertsiiiphd2157]

This is not the original soundtrack of the movie. Simon and Garfunkel is hardly "Gregorian". The movie soundtrack outside of the sounds of actual sung-service was largely just the natural sounds of the monastic environment.
