After watching it, I burst into tears

A long time ago, in the book of the Dutch writer Fang Long, the prototype of the movie, in a remote area of ​​Paraguay, there was a utopian society established by a Jesuit priest.
It was finally destroyed by the colonists. Everything became the way it was before.
I didn't expect it to be made into a movie. Tears flowed down my face, and I was especially grieved that the
Cardinal acquiesced in this massacre.
The movie, maybe. Now the Chinese Catholics will understand after reading it.

When faced with the same conflict, cardinals and popes made different choices -- political considerations. Perhaps they considered the whole of Europe, not just South America, as the missionaries considered, but truth does not have different standards depending on time and space. It is a pity that they finally chose to protect the Pope's status and power in Europe, at the expense of the seeds sown with love by the missionaries, the hard-built churches, mission stations and the lives of countless Indians.

As a result, the independent dioceses of Catholicism in South America were deprived one by one.
This is the consequence of compromise, retreat and retreat, and then there is no way out.

When Captain Bangsadu was carrying his own crossbow to the tribe, an Indian, instead of killing him, cut the rope of his backpack for him.
This moment is shocking. Captain Bang Sadu finally forgave himself. He, as a butcher, can be forgiven by the Indians, so why can't he forgive himself?

    This film is an epic religious adventure film adapted from real events. Although the images of the two male protagonists are a bit face-to-face, the content is slightly complicated, and the plot ending is somewhat tragic. But the video scenes are very spectacular, the photography of some scenes is beautiful, and Morricone's soundtrack is also fascinating for three days. The film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

    It is important to know that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and people in the West who put "human rights" on their lips all day should see what they have done to these people who have no resistance to work together to create a harmonious society and a harmonious world... …

The Mission quotes

  • Mendoza: Leave me alone. You know what I am.

    Gabriel: Yes. You are a mercenary. You are a slave trader. And you killed your brother. I know. And you loved him... although you chose a strange way to show it.

  • Fielding: Father, he's done this penance long enough, and well, the other brothers think the same.

    Gabriel: But he doesn't think so, John. Until he does, neither do I.
