The roles of Irons and De Niro are too face-to-face, and the plot design has not been scrutinized. I don't know what Cannes thought at that time. Overall, it's a film that was completely rescued by photography and music. Similar themes, the degree of completion is completely less than one-third of...

The world is always controlled by the strong. Humans drive away, kill and eat animals. Stronger humans drive away, kill and enslave weaker humans. From this, words such as colonialism and aggressors are derived, and a large number of historical literature and movies are derived. work. I'm thinking, if one day a stronger alien civilization comes to the earth and kills humans when it sees it, will we appear more helpless than beasts when we have no power to fight back? How ridiculous is the...

Identity chaos, first De Niro, then Ains, then Bishop (De Niro & Ains are flat), and finally the clash of civilizations. What's the...

#新看# The photography and the soundtrack are extra points. The description of the external scenery is not limited to the visual beauty, but strengthens the amazing majesty of the water to achieve a tragic atmosphere; although the cast is good, it is somewhat wasteful. A typical Western perspective—whether it is missionary or military conquest, isn’t it a means of colonial...

The framing, soundtrack, characterization, etc. have to be admired, but it is like an article that serves the Christian mission with a deviation from the theme, and is covered with a well-structured and skilled shell. The perspective used by the director to reflect the colonial history itself did not break away from the rut of colonialism itself. The main characters in the film, regardless of the villains, are Westerners. The Indians are aphasia groups: their resistance needs the leadership and...

It's still a movie I watched in the vcd era. We may never have this type of grand narrative again. From the perspective of post-colonial theory, not only the brutality of the Spanish and Portuguese colonists referred to in the film must be condemned, but also the rationality of the Jesuit mission itself is a complete success...

"The Holy See in Europe is like a savage forest, but here is a tidy garden." The gardens above the waterfalls in the jungles of South America were finally ended by massacres. Sometimes people always choose noble destruction. In one of the stone war scenes, when unarmed women and children sang hymns and raised crosses to meet the enemy, Western soldiers dropped their weapons and shouted "I can't". The first round of attacks were actually their unbelieving Indian compatriots. This film of He Suo...

4.0. 24thSIFF Cao Yang Cinema. 1. Cannes Palme d'Or, Oscar for Best Cinematography, and Robert De Niro's acting, Morricone's soundtrack. 2. The use of post-colonial cultural aggression to counter military colonization is quite backward in the current context. 3. The text of the story can almost seamlessly overlap "Avatar", the white males of the suzerain country accept the colonial culture and begin to resist the tyranny of the suzerain...

Preaching has a strong meaning...but fighting for faith is tragic and worth looking up...

The opening was excellent, the monks performed asceticism under the open curtain, and the Holy Light of Jesus appeared. But as you go deeper, you will gradually find that the text essentially points to the irreconcilable conflict between the preachers of God and colonial politics, and the real victims of this conflict, the Guaraní people, are really absent. The Guaraní people, despite being seriously out of step with modern civilization, chose to convert to the Jesuits in a highly civilized...
