The Mission ( 1986 )
location is wild land in Amazon ( fall down into water fall..) Rodorigo Mendoza father Gabriel
( Robert Deniro ) ( Jeremy Irons )
" Mission Impossible-3 " wasn't good feeling for me, but I remenbered " The Mission "..It was very impress
movie...Actor and story and music were all perfect...this year is 500years of the birth of Franciscus Xabier
( Catholic Saint of Societas Jesus )...this story is same missionary of Society of Jesus and made 1986.....
( Oscar nominated ) Producer is Roland Joffe ( UK 1945~ ) and he produced " Scarlet letter " too..
I saw this movie by video five years ago...memory of story isn't clear , but I'd like to write only
round up story and introduce something...
Location is Amazon in South America , missionary of Society Jesus ( Jeremy ) enter to primitive village in
Amazon and found slave marchant ( Deniro ) who caught truble of business..missionary help to Deniro
and he is converted to Catholic and follow to missionary..this story descrive human's pain and pure of village
people and missionary's dilemma of ambitious between Roma Church...how it was difficult to propagate in
wild land of dangerous nature or change custom...but I heard this story is true in history..( Fransiscus Xabier
was first missionary who came to japan at 1549 and many missionary went to many place in the world )
most highlight sean was over 30 native children play baroque music by violin..( they wear only little cloth on
body ) and a choir ......I knew this is result of study or learning and amazed for angel voice...
however, also this thema is how changed Deniro's mind by impress missionary's spirit of self-sacrifice
without worry about of life in danger... ( movie wrote back of detail for how was propagate but mind of
missionary by Jeremy Iron is simply beautiful )
PS...I knew these cities name come from Saint....San Fransisco ....Santa Monica......San Paulo
Saint Louis.........Saint Helena...

This movie looks too good to be as old as 1986. I do not recall it at all. Now you have aroused my curiosity and I will look for it in home movie adaptation.
I haven't seen any of the mission impossible movies. ryc: yeah, cultural "guilt" messes with the minds of people merely because it's really tough to over-ride natural instincts.
Mission was a great movie...
I haven't seen the movie but its just I don't go
out to movies much...look like it would be good.
Thanks for sharing...have a great week,
