Watch "The Church"

"Church", I like to watch movies and movies that make me feel away from life. This is an epic religious legendary film, Jeremy. Irons and Robert. De Niro starred, for Jeremy. Irons I have a special kind of love. In my mind, his sadness, weakness, helplessness and despair are very close to me. Robert. Naturally, De Niro needless to say, these two people are really cool in one film. This is still a very helpless story, a huge sad story. In the last quarter of the film, the two protagonists have no lines until one dies and the other also dies. This movie is a bit like "Samurai" played by Xiao Tang the previous year, but it looks better.

    The whole film itself exudes a religious solemnity, suffering but pious, soothing feeling, the rush of abundant water vapor and the magnificent soundtrack make this film like a spiritual baptism; it looks like an old-fashioned colonial struggle or imperial power. The game with theocratic power is actually a reflection on the essence of religion, which makes people think deeply about what God's love is, and why God brings pain and sin. The foundation is the universal natural value judgment after all; objectively, the mission to the Indians deep in the South American jungle failed, but in fact, through the Jesus-like sacrifice and martyrdom of the priest, the gospel of God truly descended on this slaughtered man. Descendants of the village; priests have an anthropologist's structuralist way of thinking about Indian customs

    Religion has always been a huge lie for power and domination. It is full of political ugliness, and even now it seems that some scenes are still real and ugly despite changing the environment. If you don't have the relevant background knowledge, it's still difficult to understand the reason for the story. It really was shot for Europeans (who know more about history).

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.
