[The mission of the church] 1986
seems to be a boring topic, religion, but it is not a simple story. The film is adapted from a true story and takes place during the Spanish and Portuguese colonization in the 18th century. It is about the religious beliefs of local indigenous peoples and the survival of local churches in South America. Aboriginal slaves and religious asylum; the weakening of the power of the European church and the government’s interest in collusion; the land dispute between Spain and Portugal; where is God’s love? The church that people who believed in God used their lives to maintain was destroyed by another person who believed in the same. If the indigenous people leave the church, they will face slavery. Little girl: "they wont go back to the forest, because the devil is there." The
ending is tragic, and I didn't even dare to watch it. I really didn't watch it. I don't like the magnificent epic movie. The fate is doomed to a tragic ending.
The movie lens captures the beautiful and original natural scenery. The first half of the movie scenes are serene except for music, which directly hints at the coming of danger in many places. The aboriginal people’s harmony of praising God should be heard. You can also feel their unique customs, as well as some of the historical features of the 18th century that we have not experienced.

    "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 will definitely further question what civilization is? Of course it's pretty cool enough. Whenever the chant sounded, I couldn't help but shed tears, came for Morricone, and harvested an all-round shocking work.

    The music is great, the scenery is great, the connotation is great, and it is very thought-provoking, a little rushed

The Mission quotes

  • Altamirano: [to Cabeza and Hontar] And you have the effrontery to tell me that this slaughter was necessary?

  • Mendoza: Though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains and have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor and though I give my body to be burned and have not love, it profiteth me nothing. Love suffereth and love is kind. Love envieth not. Love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But when I became a man, I put away childish things. But now abideth faith, hope, love... these three. But the greatest of these is love.
