Film that needs a viewing

Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2010)

The mission starring Robert De Niro is a musical epic in itself.Fantastic score by Ennio Marricone.Soundtrack is fantastic.The performances given by Robert De Niro & Jeremy Irons are a blessing for all cinema lovers.This is a very good movie.The mission shows the struggle of two men who want to preach Christianity to the natives living in Brazil.When Spain sells the colony to Portugal,both are forced to defend all that they have built.We see a contrast between two men.Both have their own ways.De Niro wants to protect them by using firearms,as once he was a hunter.Whearas Irons is a committed priest who does not want to take firearms.He believes that god would protect them.The mission is a cinematic beauty with a great camera-work. Terribly underrated but definitely a film that needs a viewing.
