Salvation of Iguazu

The 21st Shanghai International Film Festival is great! There are so many labels added because it is a film from 86 years, and it has to be added with the soundtrack of the masters of Monecone. Even when Mnison was still a small meat, the photography was also very good, and I could even feel the fresh water vapor when shooting Iguazu Falls. In the hot and humid afternoon of this sticky Huangmei Dragon Boat Festival, this grand epic movie must be watched in the cinema. The original sin of Western colonization in South America in the 16th century. At that time, Nietzsche’s God was not dead yet. Although Rodriguez, played by De Niro, was jealous of his brother and his lover killed him in a duel because his brother slept, he could still be defeated by God. (Uncle Tie) Inspired to drag a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron to preach above the waterfall like Sisyphus for salvation. Uncle Tie kneels (has this film lost weight?) Pretending to be an ascetic father saint, church The interests of the government have been exchanged. The government and the military have all used their guns. Are you stupid to use a human cross to resist you? But the bishop said that although they are still alive, and we are still alive, how many missionaries have conquered those barren virgin lands with their faith, and the church has become a fan of all over the world. I think this may be the universal The world is valued. but, if there is a God, why can God watch so many beings smashed? So I think the director is also an agnostic. In the end, the child picked up the violin in the water instead of the gun. It’s a bit of forcible value. Isn’t it more useful to return to the jungle, or, both?

When I watch the film, I think of the South American rainforest described by Llosa from time to time, which is really fascinating. I hope that disasters like the epidemic will pass sooner. You can cross out this item on the wish list. God has given mankind countless opportunities. Can mankind get redemption from disasters again and again?

    The classics of the late 80s and early 90s, White Zuoer and Dancing with Wolves, The Last Emperor and The Last Samurai (okay, this is the early 21st century), it's a complete set of choruses that don't even fit in the mouth. Too exaggerated and this The place is Iguazu Falls

    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 help of a loving priest in the West; their language and ideas cannot be directly known by the audience, but they need the translation of the priest; the reason for their confrontation with the bishop is that they believe that they are God The devout believers should therefore not be expelled... The film does not reflect the main spirit of Indian revolt, and it is obviously unqualified in reflecting on the theme of colonialism. Imagine if the resistance of the priests and the Indians was successful, I thought that this ending would still be a tragedy for the Indians. Christianity had penetrated into the tropical jungles pervasively, and completed their colonization tasks in places where guns and shells could not reach.

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.
