One of the most moving films I've ever seen!

Rating: Null/10 (19 August 2003)

There are very few movies that I ever bother to see again and even fewer that make me cry. I've seen "The Mission" three times already and each time it made me cry. The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful; the innocence,joy and wisdom of the indigenous people palpable; the transformative power of faith and forgiveness inspiring; the historic conflict between the Vatican and Jesuits accurate; the music heavenly; and the outcome tragic. I believe it's a great conversation-starter for any group interested in issues of faith/politics/history. A real masterpiece!
