One of the best movies I've seen

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2005)

It may well be due to the soundtrack which is absolutely outstanding. But the cinematography is quite well done. And the story is a reasonably good rendering of a complex historical issue. I do not currently have it in my collection but I hope to add it soon. However the soundtrack has never been far from my CD player (now perma-loaded on my ipod). It's been years since I last saw the film yet many of the details of the film are still vivid in my mind. While there are a few films which I like on an equal level, I am hard pressed to think of a film better than The Mission. I would place it on my list of top 20 movies for a well rounded individual to have seen, and certainly think anyone interested in quality though provoking films would enjoy this one.
