the history of Latin America

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2006)

Following their success with "The Killing Fields", David Puttnam and Roland Joffe made "The Mission", about a priest (Jeremy Irons) and a slave trader (Robert DeNiro) joining up in 18th century South America to try and protect the Indians from colonizers. The movie's quality lies not only in its acting and script, but also cinematography: we get to see the incredible jungle from so many angles, that it truly overwhelms us.
This is definitely one movie that you can't afford to miss(ion). Every part of it was done perfectly. The way that the scenes are laid out often play tricks with the audience. The sad part is that what it portrays really happened in the Americas. A great movie.
