  • Who cares if it did or did not get an Oscar...what matters is that this movie was made and it's a superb movie. An Oscar is not the be all or end all.....look at Shawshank Redemption...another great movie that was barely noticed in the Oscars. This movie, The Mission, touched my soul as a teenager and now as a grown woman it inspires me to act in kindness daily with those around me. To be bad is easy...it be good takes effort...but its a choice we make.

  • Cuanta maldad!!!! Cuanta ignorancia!!!!!!!!! Cuanta soberbia y miseria humana. Pensar que durante años hablabamos de la madre patria,que madre serìa que matò a tantos hijos.

  • thumbs up should go to the director ... Roland Joffé

    He is a board member of Operation USA, a non profit humanitarian organization dedicated to helping communities alleviate the effects of disaster, disease, and endemic poverty throughout the world by providing privately-funded relief, reconstruction, humanitarian aid and development aid. He also made "The Killing Fields".

  • MAGNIFICA,SUPERB MOVIE, THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!

  • Exelente film.

  • Linda pelicula...dedicada a todos los europeos hijos de mil puta q cometieron el mas grande genocidio de la historia de la humanidad....el holocausto nazi no es nada comparado con esto....y todavia festejan el dia de la raza!!!!....es patetico....metanse su civilizacion por el culo...

  • do anyone of you know a website where i can watch this for free and without a membership??

    please I just really need it. It's my project

  • thats in Iguazu, Misiones, Argentina i been there, for me is the best place in the world

  • @davlubary it was filmed in colombia

  • @wiidiwii The Guaraní community above the perilous Iguazu Falls tie a priest to a cross and send him down the falls to his death. check it in wikipedia at least u can go there.

  • @wiidiwii

    and Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil. The bulk, as davlubary said, was filmed at Iguazu (waterfalls, river and national Park). I've been there too, it's beautiful.

  • XDXDXDDX someone saw Robert Redford?

  • Can someone please tell me what is the name of the song that starts at 1:02 ......It will mean the world to me..... ; )

  • @JuDith868 Ennio Moriconne - "Vita Nostra"

  • @Arakham Thank you so much... ; ) I just listened to it and its just amazing.... Thanks again ; ) ....

  • UNo dei più bei film nella storia del cinema mondiale...mitico De Niro

  • 1:10 a man of whores... kidding. looks like a watchable cool breeze movie

  • This movies is extremely biased. It gives the notion that the Portuguese were arrogant, presunptuous, unmerciful people wile Spanish had a more moderate stance and the Church was kind.

  • @l23722 : It is only so if you have missed out on the overall theme and politics of the movie.

  • @bachdraft In the movie the priests are trying to prevent portuguese to gain control over the Missions because they would enslave the natives. Fact is that Marquês the Pombal banned native american slavery. So, if in the movie Marquês de Pombal sent a mensage to intimidate the juged, i have to assume that the story is in his time, so, the "protection against the portuguese slavery" is completely wrong, and therefore the movie is biased.

  • @l23722 slavery in Brazil didnt end until the end of the Paraguayan war some 80 years after the Jesuits got expelled

  • @wiidiwii Slavery in Brazil is not the same as "Native american Slavery". Informe Yourself.

  • good movie, but it bothers me when u have different accents for people of the same nationality. i had the same problem with valkyrie

  • So, your Holiness, now your priests are dead, and I am left alive. But in truth it is I who am dead, and they who live

  • Great Movie! about a man who does a terrible thing and then finds redemption. Great soundtrack. Robert Redford is awesome in this movie. 5 Stars!

  • @Brodygo I mean robert deniro

  • @Brodygo Robert Redford did not act in this movie ...

  • Dios nos encarga a cada un@ de nosotr@s una misión, por eso no hay que desfallecer si los resultados obtenidos no son los que esperamos.

  • Una gran película y una grandiosa musicalizacion de Ennio Morricone

  • @beastiseast555

    Of course it didn't get an Oscar. It's not American enough.

  • @ExtremeBogom

    Excuse me? what do you mean by that?

    This movie is based on one of the most important historical events occurred in south america that changed south american's lives. OF COURSE IT"S AMERICAN! but if you mean america is only united states, then you're wrong. I'm tired of everyone saying "america" as reffering to united states, we exist too!

  • @TheNYgirl7

    Stop making a mountain out of a molehill. You know what I meant.

  • @ExtremeBogom are you stupid or what of cause south america is america or you think only USA is america

  • @yo1236340

    Why would you make such a stupid assumption? Of course I'm aware that N & S America are continents.

    I was referring to America the country, you know, the Yanks?

    Don't blame me for the US high-jacking an entire continent. That's a long standing issue, but has nothing to do with me.

    Now bugger off.

  • @ExtremeBogom and it's not Jewish enough.

  • Poor Rodrigo

  • Yes it is a masterpiece. For me, my fav films, hard to declare the crown of crowns. Either Wizard of Oz, or this. Love my old country and what it made - Shakespeare, Beatles, Stones, best poetry. But this, well yes it`s a masterpiece.

  • They tried to do good..

  • great film

    

  • I can already tell this movie is a masterpice just by watching the trailer.

  • why is the on the Apathy playlist....? o.o

    good trailer, though

  • No....thus we have made the world.

  • You had no alternative, Your Eminence. We must work in the world.

    The world is thus.

  • When u realy feel with that persons in this Film, ufff, it crushed me.

  • A la memoria del NEGRO HUGO GUERRERO MARTHINEITZ por quien conocí a Van Gelis...Negro: Dios te tenga en la Gloria!

  • So Awesome

  • GREAT MOVIE!!

  • LOL Jeremy Irons wasnt that old in this movie xD funny to see :P

  • great movie

    and fantastic musik

  • sad sad great movie

  • I was listening to the soundtrack, and completely forgot what a utterly brilliant film this is.

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

  • @lusoreis I havent seen it in a while but I think that dances with the wolves is what you are looking for.

  • @lusoreis I Will Fight No More Forever is really good if a bit old. It's about Chief Joseph. Geronimo american legend is really good too although you can really see Hollywood's point of view in the film. I believe Geronimo would be a lot better if they it weren't for red tape and the makers trying to be politically correct. You should watch Pow wow highway it isn't about war, it's about Indians living in Idaho during the 80's . I personally think that pow wow Highway is a great movie.

  • @lusoreis Into The West was a mini series that showed that.

  • @lusoreis Soldier Blue 1970 check

    imdb.com

  • 999

  • The actor playing Father Provincial is listed as Tony Lawn, he was actually Msgr Tony Lawn, a Catholic priest who lived in south London and attended the RC needs of inmates in HM Prison Brixton in the late 60s and 70s.

  • Still... one of the best films ever made

  • You might want to check out boulevard nights which was a classic lower film that started a lot of the Chicano life style from back in the days. I have many friends who would not agree with the film title you given it based on the style of the movie.

  • In my opinion this is the best movie ever made: BEST EVER MADE. Nothing comes close to this, such dramatic story, with lots of action, and a big truth, us portuguese and spanish where really bad when it was the conquer times.

    We should look at this movie, to dont make the same mistakes again.

  • yoggrafite

  • jeremy irons that daft prick.

  • Comment removed

  • This film is the complete film: astounding filming and scenery, great actors, inspiring themes, polished dialogue, drama, music!! a landmark, I´ve seen it five times I think since it came out.

  • Such a beautiful film, beautiful soundtrack, amazing actors, too bad it makes us portuguese look like total stupids, I hate being the bad one =P

  • The English were no better

  • @Molson4Canadian yeah... but some people don´t know it XD

  • Ennio Morrecone's score is stunning.

  • One of the few movies than can truly change you after watching it. One of the greatest achievements of cinema.

  • The most beutiful film ever!!

    The humanity needs more films like this, and not like Harry Potter or Twilight .

  • @Obet1979

    You're comparing apples to oranges, there's nothing wrong with Harry Potter, a great kids series.

  • @Sascha4791 My point is this: the big studios doesn't make any beautiful films with a little soul and humanity, just fantasies without substance.

  • egoistas espan-oles

  • Well that gave away the whole damn movie

  • @menendezdeaviles , lee libro de español fray bartolome de las casas, breve relacion de las indias, asi pareceme se llama, tanto que carlos V, emitio decretos imperiales, que en la letra protegian al nativo de america, en la practica cosa muerta.

  • @Vanirio menendemierda, primero solo tienes cojoncillos en internet. Segundo, los españolitos estuvieron varios siglos en norte america como sabras y nos retrasados en todos los sentidos. No me canso a explicartelo donde en eeuu permanecieron indio... ahora deja tus coletillas en casa si? ya q me hablas de tu pc

  • en esta pelicula se muestra el trato de español hacia el indigena en tiempos de conquista

  • @menendezdeaviles Tens toda a razão! Saludos de Portugal.

  • y si habria mas pedofilos abusadore que se ocultaria bajo una mascara de falsa moral

  • It's a beautiful thing. But the topic of Jesuit reduction is quite a controversial topic.

  • No te olvides que siempre se ha acusado que los españoles mataron los indígenas. Pero los españoles hicieron que los indios dejaran de matar a indios en rituales estúpidos.

  • @elyurita es verdad, pero si los españoles no se hubieran intrometido hubiera mas indigenas.

  • @elyurita, gracias, por su supuesta ayuda y civilizacion, pero con ustedes aqui vino holocausto, sino lee a bartolome de las casas en su breve relacion de las indias, si eso es ayuda, por favor quedense en casa si?

  • es verdad...

  • Para mi opinion una de las mejores peliculas de la historia del cine por muchas cosas:interpretaciones,guion,d­ireccion,fotografia....y lo mejor para mi sin duda su espectacular Banda Sonora que es una joya.Una de las mejores BSO que se han compuesto.Gracias Ennio Morricone por esta maravilla.Que injusto fue que esta pelicula no se llevara ni un Oscar,ni sikiera a la BSO....

  • Jeremy  Irons & Robert Deniro perfect

  • en esta pelicula se da algunas respuestas a la pregunta del subdesarrollo de sudamerica ahora estos indios son la gran masa cesante de sudamerica apartados drogadictos ladrones y un largo etc en norteamerica los mataron a casi todos en fin un tema para discutir

  • ajajajajajaja si no olvides la los verdaderos conquistadores que llegaron criadores de cerdos y expresidiarios salidos de carceles con todos con genes de ladrones y acesinos sin mensionar que la mayoria no sabian ni leer pura lacra de genes españolas mestizos de moros etc. .pero ese tema es otro no?

  • @AmaNeoKangEXEMachin toda la razón del mundo, es lo que tienes.

  • La escena donde de niro rompe a llorar arrepentindo y obtiene la Redención y decide cambiar su vida es PRECIOSA ... : ) para ser el SXVI que no habia apenas derechos lo que hicieron estos hombres de España es simplemente admirable , son todo un ejemplo para nosotros ( un ex-alumno de un colegio jesuita español ) saludos a todas las personas buenas y de fe : D !

  • Great music!

  • Hard to imagine this movie without Ennio Morricone's score. What a music...

  • so good

  • A very good film, although it falls somewhat short of its full potential in my view.

    Also, the actor who plays the stocky noble who serves as one of the primary antagonists just doesn't work with the rest of the cast very well to my eyes (and especially ears). I'm not sure if it's the caliber of his acting or the accent or what, but it seems that a different actor could have improved the film, especially at the end with the Cardinal, which is to me the moral core of the film.

  • very interesting movie.

    Jesuits were always expelled by corrupt leaders from countries for the good they did. Explaining ideas through art and music, etc and education should be remembered even today, eh?

  • Estupido,Jeremy Irons en esta pelicula era un padre jesuíta ESPAÑOL!!!!!!!!

  • Wow, I just typed my name into mystery google and this popped up.....

  • Maravillosa pelicula la banda sonora le ha dado la vuelta al mundo es toda una joya y que mas puedo decir las actuaciones de robert de niro y jeremy irons geniales

  • irons hace de español papa

  • I understand you, but Jeremy Irons plays as a Spanish Father(Padre Jesuita) or eventualy Italian in this movie -The names(Padres) wich they play and act, are spanish or of latin european.

    They were(in fact) in majority Spanish, some Portuguese, Italians among other Europeans serving Jesuitic Missions, depends if were under Spanish or Portuguese rule or geographic location.

    British(English in particular) fiction Caracters or Historical Figures do not apear in the movie.

  • @Luso515PorTuoGraal Padre Gabriel is certanly Spanish because in Italian Gabriel is Gabriele.

  • love this movie

  • OMG

    Don LaFontaine !!

    this year ....!

    Warner Bros presents !

    desire.... passion....

    he sold tortillas on the street!

  • jesuitas = SPANISH PRIDE

  • Excelente pelicula, yo la vi hace unos años xq un profe mio la sugiriopara una clase en la Universidad y la verdad acabe llorando al terminar la peli. Repito: Excelentisima pelicula.

  • pero los nativos que aparecen en la pelicula son guaranies el parecido es enorme, te lo digo por que soy de Paraguay, y convivo con ellos, yo soy un descendiente guarani.

  • He aqui nuestro ser nacional, nuestros antepasados destruidos una y otravez por portugueses, españoles, bandeirantes y brasileños, una y otra vez pero aun hoy estamos vivos y dios nos dara la redencion a nuestra nacion guarani, tan sufrida, en verdad duele tanto lo que nos han hecho por siglos.

  • Soy español, lo siento. Excelente pelicula.

  • Wonderful movie. Robert de Niro was a great fit for his character as well.

  • 1986 ! trailer looks like this film is much younger

  • This is art.  All good about movies it is in this film.

  • I just found out recently that I have Brazilian Indian ancestry, which could explain why I can't help crying when ever I watch this movie, or even just the trailer. Also, I look at that little boy in the cross and can't help thinking about my younger brother, and all the little boys in this world that a few adults in all their ignorance hurt.

  • Did you know that this movie was filmed in Colombia with Waunana indians from Colombia? Sabian que ésta película fue filmada en Colombia con actores indios puros Waunana de Colombia.......

  • Comment removed

  • Here in the US the CD comes with another CD which is a documental of how the movie was filmed. In it they stated clearly that they had used Colombian indians and the movie was filmed in Colombia, except of course where they show the waterfalls of Iguazu. Aqui en los Estados Unidos el CD trae un anexo el cual es un documental. En el dicen que fue filmada en Colombia, usando villas e indios que viven en Colombia.....Yo tampoco sabia hasta que vi el documental.....

  • the good ones were the monks that created a space of peace in bloody southamerica.

  • THE BEST FILM EVER!

  • Enio Morricone, an amazing soundtrack!

  • The best

  • Um dos meus filmes favoritos... em tudo encanta!

  • vieras too lo k se pa llegar a decir eso pekeña

  • My brother-in-law recommended this to me. Absolutely wonderful film. Robert DeNiro's character kicked butt. DEUS VEULT!

  • lastima ke para muchos es solo una pelikula, k mal el cine k nunka diga la verdad EL BIEN NUNKA TRIUNFA, EL MAL ES EL K GANA EN LA VIDA REAL, sino vean a bush y sus sekuaces o a la reina de inglaterra y sus ejercitos kolonizadores imperialistas y asi sucesivamente, a la mierda busko paz ken me dice k tengo k hacer? o es k no saben nada y solo clickean en internet?

  • pelotudo! me imagino todo lo que sabras vos..

  • this film reminds me of Gaspar Garcia Laviana's life.

  • what a crap garbage trailer for such a wonderful film. they tried everything to make it hollywood. one of the best non-fiction films of all time, if not the best.

  • GREAT FILM, AMAZING TRAILER!

  • One of the best movies ever!

  • totally agree, even though it's an old film it still stands out in brilliance till this day

  • People say The Killing Fields is better, but I don't care, this is one of my favorite films.

  • y es que nadie habla acerca de lo mucho que hicieron los jesuitas? Crero que si muchos católicos actuaran como actuaron los primeros jesuitas este seria un mundo mejor y la Iglesia tendria mas credibilidad

  • que verdad amigo!

  • @perseopenelope Toda la razon, ellos fueron los verdaderos conquistadores, fueron quienes realmente se dedicaron a educar y por ejemplo aquí en Chile frenaron unas de las más grandes batallas contra los españoles...La Guerra de Arauco. Cuánto daría que tanto Católicos como Evangélicos de verdad aprendieran con buenos ejemplos y así ellos lo dieran...porque los ejemplos que dan en la actualidad, de bueno no tiene NADA!

  • @perseopenelope la iglesia catolica igual como en todo el mundo, tiene personas mallas, infelizmiente. hay personas en todo el lado lenas de ganazia, y con sede de tener el poder, por eso la iglesia catolica esta igual al mundo en que vivimos, esta mal mui mal.

  • @perseopenelope sos una persona muy catolica no?

  • TIM

    I WANT TO TALK WITH U

    NICE FILM

  • Comment removed

  • Excellent Film

  • this is the only film that made me hate gods book .

  • i saw this forthe first time wn i was 7, i never respected religion again

  • what do u mean

  • i respect faith, ppl gain believe in higher power, but to make an organization that would approve the slaughter of these people, just for more political influeence shattered my belief that a group of distant men at the vatican really care for all people

  • which is why the jesuits are there

  • Stunning and sad film.

  • my parents are making me download it.

    anyone know from where?

  • This movie was utterly depressing.

  • this movie should makes u love..not hate...

  • It is sad that many many good news, works of love are just unsaid - but we hear the most often obout those priests who have harmed someone. There are always good and evil - in every social class. If we judge all upon evil ones we just cross out those who are really faithful, good.. Consider - isn't that true?

  • God appears among those unnoticed true working clerics without any renown - and those are often victims of other ppls evil (1.36/1.37) those are bearing burden - mark of f.e.: gay, spongers, moneygrubbers etc.

  • I loved this film it made me cry.

  • I saw it yesterday and night, it was amazing

  • i mean I saw it yesterday night:)

    and Jeremy irons is an amazing priest. The desire for peace and love can be seen in his eyes. Amazing actors, all of them:)

  • such a great movie...

  • and this happened in real life in the missons in Paraguay ...

  • great movie i watched it last night robert de niro was amazing in this movie i really liked it

  • Son unos genios los yankees y los ingleses relatando la historia como les conviene a ellos, siendo los más sanguinarios y saqueadores, del mundo entero.. ya no se acuerdan de lo que hicieron ,

    ¿será porque aún está en vigor la horca para quienes hablen de sus derrotas y sus masacres?

  • No te olvides de la corona portuguesa, q GRAN parte tuvo q ver con toda esta historia. Ambas coronas fueron las culpables de la gran matanza del pueblo Tupí Guaraní y de tantos otros más.

  • beautiful movie!!!i love jeremy and robert!

  • Pure Beauty. And what a pair of amazing actors: Jeremy Irons and De Niro. Plus the soundtrack . One of the best movies I have ever seen. Touching true story that happened here in South America. I am not talking about the two priests, that may be fiction, but the massacre of the indios. What a shame.

  • Moralising about early 18th century views of the world is an absurd exercise in so many ways. The fact is that this is a brilliant film about the conflict in us between our self-destructive qualities, and our desire for something better and purer.

  • es la historia de la raza guarani,antiguos deuños de la mitad del brasil y las misiones y todo el paraguay,hoy en dia los guaranies siguen solo en paraguay,aunque ya casi sin tierras y pensar que casi todo brasil era de ellos ,por culpa de un tratado entre esp y portugal ,fueron muertos y masacrados, 1700 indios murieron en lo que hoy es misiones argentina defendiendo sus tierras y a su gente,toda la provincia de rio grande de sur y estado de parana en brasil era de los guaranies,

  • Película conmovedora donde las haya, sobre el sacrificio, la redención, los ideales y el perdón. Cada vez que la veo o escucho su banda sonora se me eriza la piel. Creo que este tipo de cine nos hace ser mejores personas.
