 Product Description
In Roland Joffé's THE MISSION, a swordsman and a priest, both Jesuit missionaries, defy the colonial forces of Spain and Portugal to save an Indian tribe in 18th-century South America.
A visually stunning epic, THE MISSION recounts the true story of two men--a man of the sword (Robert De Niro) and a man of the cloth (Jeremy Irons)--both Jesuit missionaries who defied the colonial forces of mighty Spain and Portugal to save an Indian tribe from slavery in mid-18th-century South America. Mendoza (De Niro) is a slave trader and colonial imperialist who murdered his own brother (Aidan Quinn) and seeks penance for his sins by becomining a missionary at Father Gabriel's (Irons) mountaintop mission; Gabriel is a devout and idealistic man who extols nonviolence and peaceful interaction with the natives and colonialists. ...See Full Description

| Humanity and Nature - Magnificent and/or Horrific
The quality of DVD is more than acceptable. The movie itself is one that requires more than one time watching as it calls one to refection of our human nature and from this challenges us to choose our path in life. Scenery is breathtaking, cast are superb and the people of South America are endearing. A must movie in my library.

| A movie you don't forget
The Mission is one of those movies you see, then have to see again. Brilliant acting by the whole cast. De Niro is at his classic best. If you like sad movies with powerful personalities, conflicts and philosophies, then this one is for you. At the end of the movie, it is hard to tell which is the better philosophy. The DVD quality is perfect for a relatively older movie. This purchase is totally recommended. Money well spent.
