Superb film, haunting musicThe Mission is a superb film, with fine performances by the two main actors, Jeremy Irons and Robert De Niro. It is an unusual story, concerning Jesuit Missions in South America in the 18th century, which you may not think is obvious material for an enjoyable film. You would be wrong, because this film brings out the conflict between Church and State, Westernised civilisation and the lives led by native South American tribes, and is quite gripping. Jeremy Irons as the priest, Father Gabriel, and Robert De Niro as a mercenary and slave trader Mendoza give give this film quality and passion. Together with a haunting music score by Ennio Morricone, and stunning locations in South America, make it a memorable experience.

The MissionThis is a powerfull film with top-notch performances, it is also topical considering the anniversary of the abolition of slavery. The scene in which the character played by De Niro comes to accept forgiveness is very moving and convincing. It also demonstrates strongly the difference between those who really follow Jesus and a church that has become politicised and serves its own interests. It also has a lot to say about courage of convictions and how we react to violence. Added to this is a memorable score by Ennio Morrcone which is haunting, all in all it is very worth-while experience.
