The mission (R. De Niro - J. Irons - E. Morricone)

[paulybarr]

I'm astonished to see the grammatical error in the subtitles. At 37 the line reads ' I'm writing to you in the year of greace 1758' ! Now, there is a gentle little word ' grace' and there is a financially troubled little country called Greece. How on earth did this typo make it onto screen? Didn't it occur to anyone to run it past a proof reader? Still, the greatest movie score ever written remains deeply moving every time one hears it.

[mushmushkila]

The Jesuits were kicked out Brasil 1754, Portugal 1759, France 1764, Spain & ALL its colonies in 1767, Parma in 1768.The bravest pope was Pope Clement XIV a Franciscan, abolished the Jesuit order in 1773[Dominus ac Redemptor] & poisoned for it. His replacement, Jesuit-trained Pius VI, was imprisoned when Napoleon's General Berthier marched into Rome in 1798 & 'tore the papal ring from his finger' then starved him to death.

Pope Pius VII re-established the Jesuits-Sollicitudo omnium ecclesiarum.

[Eme963]

yeah!!! in class de historryy!!!!!!!!!!!

[LayTeeShia]

I really need to see the whole film... Pity this is only 10min

[dantonio77]

The best soundtrack all the time

[mushmushkila]

The music is phenomenal but the history of this movie is fictitious.

Research the JESUIT REDUCTIONS & the murder-theft-enslavement of hundreds of thousands of poor indigenous South American Indians by the Society of Jesus[Jesuits].

The evil that they brought to ALL of Latin America is their intent to write history how THEY want to be remembered...but real history shows their political institution pretending to be religious (Roman Catholicism) has murdered more people than any other in history.

[mushmushkila]

Napoleon Bonaparte wrote "winners write the history books." If you google-Jesuit Reductions of South America, on literally EVERY Roman Catholic web-page is proof it was beneficial for the 'natives.'

I lived in Buenos Aires & my older brother in Cordoba, Argentina, the latter was the largest Jesuit city of the reductions & by coincidence has the largest number of Catholic Germans in South America, even to this day.

The local gorvernments kicked out the Jesuits [briefly] what does that tell you?

[PSYLLA2020]

Breathtaking !!

[latinrunner]

I was tought by the Jeswuites---- and there are so many people who need guidence and love-----I am going to purchase this movie and hand them out to the lost sheep---it is a dangerous socity and some people want to learn-- I spend a lot of money for a jeswuite education and it paid off in so many ways--Philosophy, theology and history-----

[saqibk1]

Nice intro to a very nice movie, love De Niro in this movie.

[LererDesignStudio]

"The Mission", still a force of sight and sound...

sometimes Hollywood does good, or use to

[mooneepondskid]

I went to see this film when it first came out because of Robert De Niro and Ennio Morricone's magnificent music. I had never seen Jeremy Irons,Liam Neeson or Aidan Quinn in a movie before either. Just goes to show this really was one of the better films of the 1980's.

[uinali]

ESSE FILME É LINDO POIS É UM DOCUMENTO HISTÓRICO DA ESCRAVIDÃO QUE OCORREU NO BRASIL NESSA ÉPOCA.

ISSÃO NÃO OCORREU APENAS NA FONTEIRA COM O PARAGUIA E A ARGENTINA, ISSO OCORREU NO BRASIL TODO PRINCIPALMENTE NA AMAZONIA, ONDE OS INDIOS FORAM QUASE EXTERMINADOS.

A HISTORIA NÃO MENTE.

MAS O FILME NÃO DEIXA DE SER BELISSIMO E TER UMA TRILHA SONORA MARAVILHOSA.

[lusoreis]

@uinali

onde posso encontrar um filme que conta o massacre dos índios da amazonia perpetuado pelos brasileiros, depois do Brasil ser nação independente? você me pode indicar 1 filme que relate tais fatos?

[rompehielos048]

uno sd elos mejores regalos que he rtecibido . Esrta pelicula ... gracias hijo . por este regalo tan maravilloso

[Ramadl59]

The story,the scenery,the music,the actors and the message... what a masterpiece.

my favorite all time movie.

[willllgreen]

I remember the hard thing that was at the age of six, to find out which had been the real history of the devastation and death brought by the Europeans to America.

[ducreme31]

Saludos a todos!!! Hermosa pelicula!!!

[ecuagringo]

Although it has many historical errors the movie is a fine work of art. My favorite movie of all time because of the message: love, hope and faith in this world of greed, violence, and betrayal. Which one will you choose?  Which one do you live?

[lusoreis]

@ecuagringo

where i can find a movie that tells the massacre of the USA Indians ?

[projektor1954]

5 *****

[JohnJoeMack]

What an astonishing movie.

Never really got the acclaim it truly deserved.

Just stunning.

Just where are those waterfalls ?

[Nydave345]

This movie is inspiring.

[1czelaya]

When I was 11 and I watched this film for the first time, I realized that it was something special.

Till this day I've only scene a handful of films that capture and captivate the beauty, humbleness, greed, and suffering of the human heart.

[almodomio]

Así comienza la misión en que los jesuitas evangelizan Paraguay. ¡Que linda película!

[guillermogg75]

Dios bendiga a los jesuitas!

[Lusitanus]

i dont undestand why they speak italian, instead of portuguese or spanish.

[gaspupito]

the producers were italian, it happens close to Paraguay, in the current lands of Misiones, Northeast of Argentina and Brazil. It was the one thing Catholics have done for any powerless people in América... They taugh that the governors get the power from people, then it was the first step for independence of American countries

[divine604]

its the italian version of the film they originaly speak english

[Elephant334]

Yes it is a brilliant movie. And the music goes to the heart

[lusoreis]

@Elephant334

where i can find a movie that tells the massacre of the USA Indians ?

[ongakubcn]

What an amazing movie...

[markandarni]

this movie is very great

[RedRadRoot]

Well, I must say, they certainly seem to have hit upon a good solution to the problem of how to get rid of those persistent, pesky, door-to-door preachers, who, simply won't take "No" for an answer! (Now, why didn't I think of that...?!)

[ronquila]

OMG, this guy is a priest or a mountain climber?

[mreldude]

one of the greatest films ever

[lusoreis]

@mreldude

where i can find a movie that tells the massacre of the USA Indians ?

[mreldude]

@lusoreis dances with wolves

[latinrunner]

@lusoreis History books-- I read some and it was so sad-- I used to date a Navojo lady and she took me to her reservation--it was so beautiful how their community lives..

[fateschallenge]

Yeah in my top 20 favs of all time.

[Touka1994]

i have seen the whole movie before, so this is my second time watching this part... but i still don't get who was the guy on the cross...

can anyone tell me please??

and thank you very much for sharing this

[judgementday65]

He was one of (we assume) many priests who tried in vain to convert the natives. They sent him down the river tied to the cross to show their anger and disdain for his attempts to meddle in their primitive way of life.

[stpedro11]

the guy on the cross was a missionarie himself who failed whereby the next attempt was by jeremy irons who got their attention and won their heart by the sound of music (he played the flute)

[RosyAfterglow]

But, stpedro11, did the first missionary truly fail? Without the first one, the Indians would not have gotten curious at "these foolish priests who come even though we kill them". Much is ventured by those GOD calls for the spreading of HIS Word. The original International missionary, Paul, comes readily to mind.

[tjszabo1]

He was an other Jesuit sent by Fr. Gabriel before. That's why he says: "I sent him there, I have to go up on the falls" - or something similar.

[Touka1994]

Thanks so much for answering!

[bobbyboyland]

IT WAS A FELLOW PRIEST .

[RedRadRoot]

Just some dude that's into extreme whitewater sporting events...COR (Church of Rome) sponsors him.

[IntelArt]

Hollywood does its shares... Watch "Rules of Engagement"...

The history of CIA selling dope back in US to raise money to Nicaragua's war. Reagan could not get money from congress, so he look to the other side of the law, he looked for CIA & Mossad to do the dirty job...

Obama Hussein picked Hillary to do CIA dirty work now...

RESEARCH, RESEACH & RESEARCH... you might find it...

[freshkenobee]

this movie is awesome and as long as there would be such movies i would still believe in human.. i regret holiwood doesnt allow his artists to build such a speach .. i d always prefered natives and savages to holiwood cowboys and shit that they spread to us with fucking love story . USA PRODUCERS SUCKS GO WATCH HOME OF YANN ARTHUS BERTRAND ! ALL TOGETHER WE CAN ! cannnn uuuu diiig it! suckas? cannn u dig it !!! hehe

[sushicutie07]

gosh... has someone completely uploaded this movie... this is so beautiful, but cant find the next episode.... Please up load the next episode, please please, please.

[leonivich]

Sweetheart seek out the movie i'ts so much better

[j1o2h3n4n5y]

Jesus! I hope they paid that stunt-man well.

[chirotteri]

The best film ever

[halcon639103]

Esta pelicula no es acerca de Paraguay, no es aceca de la Iglesia Catolica Romana,No se trata de la bella naturaleza alrededor de ellos ni tampoco de la hermosa cancion de Ernio Morricone.Esta pelicula trata acerca del amor":Ama a tu projimo como a ti mismo",Amalos como Jesus los amo: Hasta el fin, amalos hasta la muerte

[halcon639103]

This movie it's not about Paraguay ,it's not about roman catholic church, it's not about priests, it's not even about the beautiful nature surrounded al of them nor the beautiful song of Morricone, this movie it's about love," Love your neighbor as yourself" Love them as Jesus loves you :Until the end, Until death

[leonivich]

You, with all respects totally got it!!

[HaloedG]

Can I read their lips?

[latino7630]

what a beautiful movie !

[grappazzo]

ho 32 anni la prima volta che vidi questo film avevo 11 anni e mi faqceva venire la pelle d'oca soprattutto quando sentivo la musica del grande ennio morricone....ora a distanza di tempo....nonostante abbia visto tante volte il film...e nonostante abbia ascoltato innumerevoli volte la sua musica provo ancora indiffeentemente gli stessi brividi di allora......grazie ennio morricone per le forti emazioni che mi hai dato e continui a darme......grazie di cuore

[mytune123]

Whoever you choose as your criator.

there is no questioning the sheer beauty of his creation.

Earth is a beautiful magical world.

We should embrase its beauty and all who have the privalige to place there feet on gods wonderful gift.

[BurlFish79]

This matchless nation, thousand times torn; The PARAQUARIA, the ancient BIG PARAGUAY, the best land of the world, thousand battles in five hundred years, people with honor and courage, that with the teeth, the fingers and nails, faced the bandeirantes criminals, the conquerors, and immense armies. My brave people, have blood of heroes, of Gods, in this my blessed earth without no evil. THE ANTIQUE AND GREAT PARAGUAY. Ciudad Real, Villarrica, Guaira, and more, more, more. PARA Q QUEDE CLARO

[sibipeterp]

It shows exactly what christ the man was facing in life and what the francis was facing and some simple incapable simple good thinking people ......... is facing

[paradiddle1]

"...if might make right then love has no place in the world...You chose to serve God and God is love..." Quite possibly my favorite scene in the movie; a stunningly powerful scene...

[gaspanda]

It's especially powerful because, with great sadness, we know that the view is naive (a point made in the film)

[polus65]

j'aurai plutôt dit que c'est la foi qui nous a permit d'abrutir, de depecer et d'asservir sans complexe tous les habitants des autres continents.

dominer le monde en est juste une consequence...

ceci dit mission est un film formidable qui convertirai presqu'un coeur aussi athée que le mien.

je lance un referendum: dans ce film vous êtes plutôt IRONS ou plutôt DE NIRO.....

p.s:perso c'est de niro

[Anti035]

On oublie trop souvent que c'est la foi qui a permis à notre continent de dominer le monde.

[Dhaune]

shit, 18th century europeans were just like todays americans

[halcon639103]

"Ninguno tiene mayor amor que este: Que uno ponga su vida por sus amigos" decia Jesus, "En verdad alguno podria morir por el bueno mas Dios muestra su amor para con nosotros en que aun siendo pecadores Cristo murio por nosotros", Morir por otros, para que otros se salven,algunos tienen eso en el corazon..

[trekiodisonopochi]

come possono arrogarsi il diritto di conquistare ....cristiani.. no assassini,gesu' nei vangeli non dice uccidi ,dice ama,non dice sii superiore ,ma porgi laltra guancia,perche nel nome suo si offende,ci si pente ,sapendo che ......lui perdona.,e' rispetto questo ...............a VOI il commento

[darsham]

è facile assurgere a giudici morali della storia senza tener conto degli stessi avvenimenti e della loro periodizzazione, nello specifico, in questo film i cristiani sono i missionari gesuiti che sacrificano la loro vita per la salvezza degli indios e non già i soldati portoghesi colonizzatori...

[Squaloblu1981]

non sono d'accordo: direi piuttosto che sono cristiani sia questi che quelli; in questo film è riprodotta un'efficace metafora di tutti i cristiani succedutisi nel corso dei secoli...

[jcso1]

¿Qué animaba a estos hombres? ¿Amor? ¿Qué clase de amor implica semejante clase de generosidad? ¿Fundamentalismo? ¿Fanatismo? ¿Qué animaba a estos Jesuitas? ¿Dónde en este mundo hay gente de esta entereza, fuerza y determinación?

[csoldier123]

This move is great, really great, don't miss it.

[krysantemo]

questo film e la sua incredibile musica.. é un un inno alla cristianità

ed il rispetto per l'uomo

[krysantemo]

questo film e la sua incredibile musica.. é un un inno alla cristianità

[areliusita01]

oooooooooooooooollllllllllllll­llllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaa

[CandlesOfUnity]

The DVD on the making of the film is even more interesting. One can feel the extraordinary gentleness of these peoples which are in fact re-acting their own history. A must see.

[jamesramsey1]

Could you upload this movie in English? I would REALLY appreciate it! I've been looking for it everywhere, including blockbuster, and had no luck.

[gutturnium]

white men has destroyed many people and culture.This all for money simply for money.But is remain poor

[allankesatie]

great movie

[TiochfaidArLa]

Che film meraviglioso, Capolavoro immenso.

[8data]

Oye, No crees que la gente Mexicana es tan grande, oxay

Pero mereces su cultura en la casa mundial

Porque Mexicanos nunca viajaron de su territorio

porque no se organizaron

Pero los Frances los ganaron

Come Los de Ethiopia ganaron a Italianos

Pero hay Mexicanos que hablan Frances

y todos el INGLES

[dealbayzin]

You do really understand what beauty is after seeing this movie.

[talofaahosivi]

it's a beautiful movie,..good acting

[adnaninco]

de niro and jeremy irons magicals.excelent film.The music very very beautiful

[laurentjordyf15]

the music from 4:40 till 5:40 is...epic, its so beautiful

[j1o2h3n4n5y]

Morricone again,the guy is a fucking genius.

[satchidananda]

hi! does anyone know where i can watch this movie online?

[marcinhaUK]

The Foz do Iguacu waterfalls is going to die, nobody will see it again just in this beautiful movie...

[beadsbydesign]

why is that?

[marcinhaUK]

It is the causes of climate change consequently, the level of rain is below in the last years. In 2006 was the most dry season.

The world's climate is changing...

[marcinhaUK]

[PACK1806]

Esta obra no la compuso Morricone, se la susurró Dios al oído...

[linj2fly]

I LOVE this music. What a great movie, too. Sad, but true to humanity, unfortunately.

[aidster]

awk i wish u'd upload the rest of it:(

[Cmdsouza]

Iguaçu Falls - border Argentina Brazil...beautiful

[fermoyed]

have always loved this film, i remember when it came out i was at the cinema(Putney) with older friends ceeing some kids film and i was gutted that the older lot watched this, Kelly Camm and her mates.... u know who you are.

[Greywolf1389]

Indeed a great movie full of lessons.

[bryghtwines]

One of my all-time favorite movies.

[jaapaap5]

art in its purest form.

[Dakorgan]

Unquestionably one of the most beautiful films ever made. Flawless from beginning to end. I never tire of watching it and the soundtrack always leaves me breathless.

[vitatm2]

paradise on earth!

[texecana91]

Unfortunately western imperialism had become neo imperialism and the west continue to be the perpetrators.

[WalterCairns]

Yet another shameful episode of Western imperialism - we should hang our heads in shame

[michaels7]

Who is "we". As a believer, as are the majority in the West, we should rejoice that Christ was brought to South America. The atheistic media likes to speak for the native populations. Last time I checked, South America was still overwhelminly Christian. Are you saying that they are stupid, duped by western imperialism?  I have more respect for the indigenous populations than you clearly.

[WalterCairns]

They were not duped - they were actually forced to adopt Christianity. Cortes and his thugs saw to that, as well as murdering three-quarters of the indigenous population.

[Astuga]

Actually most of the Indegenas died because of infections, and sadly those would have brought to the Americas in any case.

Just like the Black Death that killed about the halve of all Europeans in some parts of Europe.

And keep in mind that some, like the Aztecs, were not really nice folks, Cortez get a lot of help from other Indegenas fighting them.

[slav9]

michael maybe if you read more and stop watching CNN propaganda show you would know that virtually whole Latin america is a very convinient base of cheap resources that your country robs their native people of. christianity was a very useful tool to indoctrinate the natives and bring them onto more "civilized" path. Well, the end was always the same exploitation, misery, and despair. The guys in the robes indirectly participated in it.

[Fritznotthecat]

dear slav9. It would be useful to study a bit the background of this movie. In fact, behind the power struggle against the Jesuits protecting the Indians was the freemasonry of Portugal and the fiercely anti catholic portuguese minister Marquis de Pombal (named in the film).

[slav9]

Dear Fritznotthecatt. Did you watch it to the end? Whatever the circumstances, intentions, and characters involved the ultimate outcome was always the same (read above). This anticatholic individual mentioned by you was useful to some group of interest.(slaves traders, or whaterver the case might be). YOu and me know the outcome

[asslicker3000]

Christ being brought to South America may have been a "good" idea but the way it was brought was awful read "Bartolom'e De Las Casas, A short account of the destruction of the west Indies" if you want precise details. Basically Christians of the time had no respect for lives other than those who were spanish born Christians.

[cgsomlo]

What about the Portuguese born?

[michael4888]

What is Fr. Gabriel playing on the violin with the children about 1 min. into the video?

[maxwellsdaemon7]

I saw this way back in college.

(in a history class taught by Ms. Teresa Ricaforte at the Ateneo)

[Frederick0702]

What a great film! The music is absolutely perfect and gives you goosebumps, which is typical for Morricone! He really would have deserved the Music Oscar that year.

[jose26]

Damn guy (ernursedave) why did you had to tell the end of the movie!!!

[JFMJJ]

The older priest who replies to Liam Neeson is real life Jesuit priest Daniel Berrigan, a poet and a long time advocate of nonviolent civil disobedience.

[selhadad]

Ennio is the best, they stole his oscar in that year.

[perfectser]

Up-date: Only about 2,000 guarany indians("Mbja" group) remain in actual Misiones province, Argentina, all in poverty . They are considered in way to extintion.Alcoholism and illness are common among them. They can be seen along highways selling traditional baskets and jungle products.The Catholic Church trough Instituto Montoya is helping them in villages like Fracran and Peruti.

[amonboy]

I watch the movie in Rome yers ago. It's one of the most moving film I have ever seen. The music is outstanding.

[ernursedave]

I saw this movie this evening...i cry so much at the end...when the priest dies...this a movie about the extreme faith in Love, a faith that bring the man to give his life for his values. It's one of the greatest film i've ever seen...it give me so much brave and strenght to follow my rules.

[juana4molina]

this happened in my country and i have guarani's blood, i'm very proud of the second.

this was yet another embarrassing act carried out by the vatican. chances are that in moments of crisis, like the dictatorship, the vatican will end up excomulgating the priests that do the right thing.

it hurts me that this happened in my own country, both times the vatican was in the wrong side the of teh equation.

[jonianwhalen]

darsham, would you be able to upload the scenes of this movie where Robert DeNiro finds out his wife is in love with his brother and she's cheating on him, and then later on he kills his brother? I'd love to see those scenes again, I was so happy to see a time where adultery was considered far from acceptable behavior, unlike in today's society. (not that I think murder is the proper answer, but it was so passionate)

[talofaahosivi]

that was an out of it scene!!..killed his own brother..how sad

[naveairone]

bel film

[pedsil82]

They were peaceful . There are mestizos (guarani-european) in these areas. Nevertheless, the Guaraní language is still widely spoken across traditional Guaraní homelands, most notably in Paraguay where it is used amongst all classes and ethnic groups as a symbol of national distinctiveness, and is an official language.

[gelpeza]

I'm agree with pedsil82. Bladerunner12285 is the tipic example of the people who take the thinks without know its origin. He, and other post, don't know a lot of real history or geography

[pedsil82]

Please Bladerunner12285 don't compare Guaranies with any other. Guaraní is the name for a group of culturally related indigenous peoples of Paraguay , Brasil , and Argentina , no aztecs , no incas.

[Bladerunner12285]

My Latin American History to 1825 class is teaching me ruecast2007 that they are anything but a quiet & peaceful people. Aztecs ripped hearts out people's chest during ceremonies. Montezuma tortured & killed his own people; Cortes was just as cruel as he was. The Incas would torture & burn alive any transgressors that came through their land. The list goes on, so when you think of the Native Americans, please do not recall back to the guy weeping in the trash commercial back in the 70's.

[ruecast2007]

Please...please, The indians are quiet and respectfull people.

[diemcos]

no there werent <_< dude we saw how they made this movie in our school, they are people! real ones, that are aware of the outside world.

[diemcos]

We just finished watching this movie in school, it was a good movie, I liked it.

[shadowfoe]

why do they wanna convert the indians??.. no wonder indigenous cultures are disappearing.. and they blame it on global warming and globalization..

[fairyboy05]

how wing in that jewish por in hollywood! nevermind a movie about cristias the same as the passion. The misson a<n the passion almost the same name don`t you think?

[CatLitterOne]

Heaven is this beautiful :) It is all music, all beauty, and all peace :) Sorrow is joy. All struggle amounts to love. Our hardship into passion, and brotherhood :)

[moniuccia91]

questo film è trp bello... mi ha emozionato vederlo!!

[cmaan4life1]

we are going to see this movie at my school

[gamnene]

Dear Wakkiwak, it is a real movie with at least a running time to two and a half hours. I saw it in a theater. it was soo god that it was the only movie I saw Three times. I wish that you can watch the movie in its entirety.

[kevinhardy]

good flick

[hitger]

I think there is out in the stores, i think the year that was relised was 1986

[palafox777]

The Mission is a masterpiece that will live forever!

Thanks for posting this.

[TuscanyFuture]

I've always wanted to see this

[GustavoCLa]

Important spelling corrections:

Assuncion = Asunción

La Plad = La Plata

[orlandobabe]

This movie showed them the good intensions that Christians were doing for those indians. It did saved them from slavery but it sadden me that the priest couldn't do anything to keep them from slavery when the mission was over.

[indayris]

I really love this movie. inspirational. thank you for posting!

[blessedman94]

One of my favorite movies of all time...thanks for posting!
