Additional Info.

​"The English title The Silent Sea differs from the name of the actual lunar region, the Sea of Tranquility. Interestingly, the title The Silent Sea shares a thematic focus on ""silence"" or ""quiet"" similar to Silent Library. However, the Sea of Tranquility, which refers to a specific lunar area, does not include the word ""Silent"" in its name. As with the choice of its English title, The Silent Sea is widely regarded not as a film emphasizing scientific accuracy, but rather as a fantasy-style science fiction work that builds its narrative through imagination based on scientific concepts. This is comparable to Hollywood’s iconic sci-fi movie Interstellar, which, despite consulting with physicists, intentionally permitted scientific inaccuracies for the sake of storytelling. Similarly, The Silent Sea contains several clear scientific errors, but these are considered a natural part of the genre. By embracing this perspective, viewers can enjoy the film without being overly concerned about its scientific precision."​
