Average Rating: Rating: - An Excellent Movie The movie "The Mission" is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. Roland Joffe puts together an all-star cast and tells a religous story of the Guarani, a indian tribe settled deep in the Paraguay jungle. The hero of this movie, Father Gabriel, played by Jeremy Irons, leads a group of Jesuit preists to convert this Indian tribe into Christianity. However, the ending is a sad one due to the Spanish and Portuguese wiping out the missions as well as most of the tribe. Robert DeNiro also plays a role in this movie as Rodrigo Mendoza. Him and Jeremy Irons are a blockbuster duo. The movie is filmed in the jungle with an excellent use of the camera and as well as a outstanding score. This movie was directed with the intent to inform the audience of the hardships faced by the Guarani in this time period and accurate history. I really enjoyed this movie and recomend it for all to see. Rating: - Inhuman humans Jeremy Irons and Robert DeNiro shine in this film that tells a story of a Spanish priest, Gabriel, (Irons) and a disgraced ex-slave trader (DeNiro) who killed his own brother (!!)and Gabriel's working with with DeNiro for his pensions for his crimes, and the two building a strong friendship as they make a bunch of native South Americans into Christians. They have an unexpected adversary, as another priest visits thier mission (details escape me) and gives them trouble. Irons and DeNiro face differences, as a battle seems imminent, as Irons trusts his faith in his god, and DeNiro, and two other brothers trust a cold, steel sword. The music packs a BIG punch! Music always plays a big part in a film's sucsess...I think... On the downside: Director Roland Joffe must have been fairly depressed as he made the film. Though the depressive mood fits the story only too well, Joffe COULD have put a little more humor/good times in it. If you get depressed easily this film is not for you. On an up-ish note: The film's storyline is extremely thought provoking. I also think the scene with the little girl rummaging in a half-flooded, half-destroyed building, finding the old violin, and taking it into the boat in which she and her family and tribe were escaping in, makes a beautifully wordless statement of the effect Irons and DeNiro had on them. Rating: - God's Will - Man's Reaction This is one of my favourite movies. Only a DVD format and DTS sound will do justice to the cinematography and the soundtrack. The storyline is gripping and thoughtprovoking. It is about how two men of the cloth (de niro and jeremy irons)react to the will of God in the best way they can to defend the natives from the greedy imperialist designs of the colonists. Why is this movie still not out on DVD in spite of it being given a sales ranking of 825 by amazon and a ranking of No.13 in Latin America. I guess this movie was released by Catalyst logic on 01.01.02 but am confused that it is not available on amazon. Is there a chance that it will be out on DVD shortly. I'm waiting.
