  • gg loved it

  • the acting is just simply leaves me spellbound

  • Performance of Jeremy Iron as Spanish Jesuit is perfect ;)

  • I first saw this film while studying abroad in Costa Rica in my Latin American Cultures course. Of course I cried curing the film and then I found out they used this song as background for the obituaries as well. Needless to say, it always makes me tear up a bit.

  • any1 else start to cry inexplicably when he start to play the oboe?

  • @polienfermo no, but i did when they were trying to fix it :(

  • This is in the top 5 movies that I have ever seen. The story and music moved me so much that I was seriously upset that I did not see it in the movie theater. Great acting. Factual story. Great music score. Every time I watch it I am moved to tears at the ending.

  • papasito Jeremy Irons!

  • the point of this scene is not how well the actor played the instrument but how music has broken down barriers.  it was a huge struggle for the character, fr. gabriel, to go this place (he literally had to climb a mountain). and more so was conquering his own fear. to be accepted like this into the tribe because of music was a triumph in itself.

  • @SophieandrewsOboe sorry, I meant modern oboe :)

  • Comment removed

  • @Phoenix3568 I Do agree, at 59 seconds it does seem a bit ambiguous but I think there is a key or a strange shadow on the left hand side which to me suggests that it's a Classical oboe and the clothes he is wearing don't scream baroque at me either and I would say it's possibly original but it could also be one from the old cross over period...saying that it could be a Baroque not made of boxwood, in which case I would say a late 1! :) Either way oboes are the best >.<

  • Music connects people

  • @kaczorman91 Music is only universal language

  • Talk about a tough crowd...

  • The humidity must be awful for his reed!

  • @darkcowboyhero With all due respect: The music had not yet been composed until after the scene was shot. Hence, it was impossible to sync the soundtrack piece to the movement of Jeremy's fingers. Jeremy Irons is an excellent actor. Ennio Morricone is a fine composer. I still maintain that the directors of this motion picture could have shown more attention to detail. The piece is hauntingly beautiful. But, any wind player in the world will naturally wince at the sight of this epic slip-up.

  • Wonderful Movie

  • This waterfalls are named Cataratas do Iguaçu, and they are a symbol of the natural beauty of Brazil, my country. I love this movie, and its a shame that the native people of my country was exterminated by the the spanish nas the portuguese people. Thats the problem with the lust for gold that possess the human mind.

  • @felipemaiden13 At least the Americans didn't discover oil in your country before now, you'd be really fucked!

  • so the directors of this motion picture do not care about people that play an instrument. look carefully at his fingers. poor actor. he must be embarrassed today, after shooting this scene in such a careless way, moving his fingers in a silly random way, it doesn't even look like he is playing. but it's not his fault. it's the director and the producer...thanks a lot for shooting a scene that manages to ruin an otherwise wonderful film...

  • @mike58greenberg Jeremy Irons is an accomplished musician you twat, and he played that piece himself. Shows how much you know.

  • @darkcowboyhero The fingerings are really bad if you look carefully. As @mike58greenberg already said it's not the fault of the actor but it looks silly tough. It doesn't suggest the actor is well informed about the music neither about the instrument.

  • They used this song at the funeral of a wonderful 19 year old girl, she fought, but couldn't win... This melody hurts... R.I.P. Never forget!

  • @LoveOthello May she rest in peace

  • They barried my grandfather while playing this song,. Thumps up for this Hero.

    R.I.P my friend.

  • If i get sent somewhere in the jungle. Im bringing my oboe. Oboe = Last chance for survival

  • I feel I'm missing out... I haven't watched this movie yet... D':

  • 19 people are Portuguese colonists.

  • I love Ennio Morricone. He understands what a melody for oboe is. I'm personally an oboist and I'll play this music as long as I can live

  • Los misioneros dan su vida por amor a sus hermanos ,pero son mortales, la violencia se da en todas las culturas y unos se han comido a otros haciendoles desaparecer,aqui y alli ¿ como impedimos esto?,¿como defendemos la mision?

    con la espada o con la cruz,........¿ con las dos?, esta es la pelicula

    en japon todos los jesuitas que fueron solo con la cruz fueron crucificados en ella,no fueron soldados con la espada para impedirlo,"bueno si, pero tonto NO"

  • @TheJuansoria disculpa donde puedo encontrar sta peli pero completa porfis me ayudas Dios te bendiga. gracias

  • Comment removed

  • Morricone is the master. He understands the film very deeply before he writes the first note. His music does what images and words can never do. His music tells stories.

  • i have to play this song on my oboe

  • I screamed "Nooo" out loud when I saw him break the oboe. Throwing it in the water was just dirt in the wound. *cries a little*

  • Beautiful music.. It tells the Mission!. Thank you, Ennio Morricone.

  • BUKAN MAIN DAN LUAR BIASA KASIH TUHAN

  • what for a untpica music i don"like

  • Just wonderful! God bless all the missionars who made His Way and forgive the others!

  • Bueno, para mi, el soundtrack de la pelicula "The mission" es el mejor soundtrack de todos los tiempos. Saludos

  • Al día de hoy los indigenas son perseguidos y ejecutados fisica y socialmente. Como en Chile por ejemplo. Gran mensaje de este Film.

  • El Oboe le salvo la vida

  • I think this clip shows no matter where you are from or what language you speak, that music can be felt by everyone

  • Para los a no conocen esos parajes en nuestra America estan invitados

  • Enorme, fenomenal, es un grande, mas aun ser capaz de expresar en esa hermosa musica, lo q se siente estar en esa selva impenetrable y hermosa

  • nobody contradicts their shamans anymore.

  • gstring1 : I think I still have some of that gorilla super wood-bonding epoxy I ordered at ebay last week left, somewhere back at camp.

    gstring2: kk let's go then.

    gstring1: Its a long walk back to camp let's take this white idiot along with us, we could use some snack.

    crowd: no problem.

  • @BahoUtot

    clown!!!

  • @BahoUtot Never seen the movie huh?

  • that....is a skinny oboe

  • Heloooooooo!! This movie has not to do with Indians from the Amazon, but Indians from the south of Brazil ( Guarani tribe). It shows how cruel was the Portuguese and Spanish colonization with natives in that region.

  • LOL NOT EVEN A REAL OBOE

  • the native americans were wise. They knew what to do with an oboe

  • Robert De Niro is a class actor,he was brilliant in Casino,He can even do comedy,and even though he acted angry in meet the parents and meet the fockers,he made people laugh by doing it.Very few actors can do different genres.Arnie and Sly found it difficult to do comedy,and Adam Sandler found it hard to do drama.It takes a brilliant actor to vary and Robert De Niro can do many genres.

  • I always wondered how he kept a reed in any sort of shape to play with in a rainforest...

  • amazing scene very famous, we love it

  • I thought it was Robert De Niro that was in this.

  • Comment removed

  • @alslevie1986 Both Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons were in this. Most people I know only notice one or the other though...

  • I always loved this scene. It really speaks as to how music transcends the borders that language creates.

  • Love this track.

    I hope you LIKE MY VOCAL VERSION. I'm a 16 year old tenor from the U.K

    Many thanks

    George Mercer :)

  • Music hath charm to calm the savage beast.

  • Jeremy Irons plays a fantastic part in the drama series, harrisons time piece

  • fellow natives of the possible danger??

  • @andycrag You will not manage to make any kind of point...Those new generations you mention are completely emerged in the ocean of stupidity called bieber, silicons,pamela anderson and the only criteria of value to them is how good their car is going to be...Just give up on them:) Instead of cherishing the music as a cross-cultural instrument of communication and using their brain for a change, they simply call someone a dick...

  • @njuschko Don´t be so harsh. Give them time to grow up. At 32 now I can understand other cultures' way of thinking and acting, but probably when I was 16 I would have made the same "that fat guy´s a dick" comment. And I was pretty much only worried about the Biebers of my time.

    So, give them time. Some people do grow up!

  • This movie is educative. This scene of the movie shows the contact between 2 worlds 2 cultures through music. It is supposed 2 make us think deeper and analyze the essence of it. Unfortunately all I see are comments that are irrelevant or are totally missing the point. Is this wat the new generations have come 2??Unable 2 think or debate on a relevant topic??ppl callin the fat guy adick when they shud mayb see a native who was played by the settlers and don't trust them anymore and warns his

  • the guy who broke it listened to justin biebier

  • Molto bello e dolce...100*

  • 15 person listening justin bieber

  • bravo, maestro!!!

  • So good, I love this movie!! :D

    I agree guys who can pull off a beard, are hot...I really had crush on him when I first saw this. Lol :)

  • i haven't seen this movie since 1994 and i was in the 7th grade. brings me back to happier days

  • It is Ash Wednesday today, and I wanted to watch this. Thank You!

  • did it broke?

  • Music is a powerfull thing

  • I love the oboe. Enough said.

  • to moje sacrum

  • Great movie, It speaks to me in so many ways.

    And yes, Earth can be a better place to live in.

  • he's the best actor! ever!

  • Now a days they would go in there and play a i-phone with rap music then get thrown off the cliff...

  • the broken oboe broke my heart as well

  • mmm i saw this been mentioned on the movie holiday so wanted to check it out

  • "... for the ones with great difficulty and no clear evidence of sucess plot away at the task of awakening in just a few men, a small spark of faith, of hope, and of charity."

  • I feel like a monkey for not watchin this movie. Must.Watch.Now. D:

  • is this romace song?

  • The music is wonderfull, the film is very beatifull. And this scene, in particular, is awesome.

    As a brazilian, with the indian culture knowledge, I can say it. Believe me !!!

  • Se cuenta que cuando se rodó esta escena de Jeremy Irons tocando su oboe, no sabía cómo tocar el instrumento. Roland Joffé le dijo que tocase como el creyerá mejor y ya le pondrían música en post-producción. El problema con el que se encontró Morricone es que se veía cómo Irons movía los dedos y pulsaba el oboe, viéndose forzado a insertar unas determinadas notas en función de lo que Irons marcaba. Irons marcó el ritmo pero Morricone puso la melodía de una bella canción.

  • Are there any other oboists out there that silently rejoiced when the oboe was broken, just so that overplayed song would be over?

  • @birdeeboo

    Neanderthal.

  • a sad movie! i cry~~~

  • 14 retards missed the like button.

  • I am an real atheist, but in this movie religion is not mane point, it is just that religion has given humans more value than governments and emperor in the past. To like this movie (which I really want too beacuse off the GREAT music) i look at it simply as an movie about humans, not that we have too be konservativ but we have too be more when it comes to certain things.

    PS: The fact that this movie didnt win oscar for best music is most likely the biggest oscar mistake.

  • Gracias por subir este video que hace bien al alma.

  • lol nice pants @ 2:10

  • jesuits rocks 

  • That song, oh that song strung in haunting melody; it lifts my heart in the high, drags me down in its registers so low. Shakes many a tear from my eyes which slide down a smile evoked from the song. What a melody, of tumultuous melody from that song, oh that beautiful song.

  • get out!

  • Fantastic movie, the best and my number one favorite.

  • FILME LINDO, MUSICA MARAVILHOSA!

    UMA AULA DE HISTÓRIA ISSO FOI O QUE ACONTECEU NO AMAZONAS E NO BRASIL TODO.

    UM RETRATO FIEL DE NOSSA HISTÓRIA.

  • @uinali nada a ver com o Amazonas camarada,o filme se passa na tríplic fronteira,Brasil,Paraguay e Argentina região de foz do Iguaçu.

  • @LUCKCMA Olá, eu quis dizer que a invasão violenta e atroz da colonização atingiu o Brasil todo, e não que o filme se passou no AMAZONAS. Mas convem vc estudar um pouco sobre a historia do Amazonas e ver o que os povos da floresta passaram nas mãos do colonizadores.

    E eu conheçou muito bem a historia e sei que este filme se passou na triplice fonteira.

    Obrigada por responder cara palida, a proposito antes que vc tenha um ataque do coração que dizer que sou descente direta de um povos indigenas

  • the most beautiful peice of music i've heard ! It really can touch people's hearts

  • great performance and movie music at its best!!!

  • if he didnt have the music they would have killed him

  • Me too!!!

  • The music it's one of the most beautiful melodies, but Jeremy Irons don't play oboe.

  • sorry but he isn't playing the oboe he is just blowing air and producing notes that wasnt oboe playing

  • @eruruuaruruu Jeremy Irons is not really a Jesuit Priest either. so disappointing that so many thing here are fake

  • @eruruuaruruu cool story bro

  • Jeremy Irons has no clue about playing the oboe.

  • awwwwwwww me encantaaaaaa *o*

  • como se llama la cancion ke toka con la flauta

  • "Koala Koala" de Rocio Marengo

  • @ginix777 gabriel's oboe, creo que la traducion en castellano sea: el oboe de gabriel. de ennio morricone.

  • Este es el lado oscuro de la conquista Europea ( jenocidio ).

    Espanola y portuguesa.........Parecida a la segunda guerra mundial solo que en Sur America murieron muchos mas,( cuanto 300 anos de asesinatos y esclavitud <?) sin poder defenderce del enemigo que lo aventajaba en armamento y tecnologia.

    R.I.P todos aquellos que vivieron y fueron asesinados en esa epoca en manos de los conquistadores inescropulosos.

  • @EEPALE

    ¡Estoy totalmente de acuerdo ! a lo que hay que sumar, la pasividad y complicidad ( en algunas ocasiones ) de la Iglesia Catolica. slds

  • The oboe itself doesn't look right. It doesn't look like a present day oboe at all (more like a recorder). The reed looks like it could be an actual oboe reed (perhaps a bit too short and wide. It almost looks curved, as if it's on an english horn bocal?). Does anyone know anything about the accuracy of the instrument in the film?

  • @horsieb19 The oboe is a baroque oboe replica of the period, Most europran ones were boxwood but dark hardwoods were also used and that makes sense here. I think I can identify the maker too..... in another part of the film you see native instrument makers producing Vihuelas/baroque guitars and oboes on one of the missions, moving film,,,,my favourite

  • La música idioma universal... quién no reucerda el oboe de Gabriel??? SUBLIME!

  • absolutely amazing 5 stars for sure

  • is fantastic!

  • Is it weird that I find Jeremy Irons kind of adorable in this?

  • @GerryButlersLoverr

    it`s not

    girls love guys with beard and it`s natural

  • @FriendlyCroock guys that can pull off beards are the hottest of them all

  • @GerryButlersLoverr Not at all!!! I've never been attracted to him except in this film.

  • one word - Beauty. Anyone who hasn't seen "Brideshead Revisited" should check that out to see Jeremy Irons in another beautiful production.

  • I'm amazed at how many people on here seem to think the film shows religion as being positive or beautiful. The film CLEARLY shows that the indigenous tribes are spiritually slaughtered by their conversion to Christianity, just as they are physically slaughtered by the slave-traders. Father Gabriel (Irons) is a well-intentioned man but he brings misery to people whose lives did not need his intervention 'on God's behalf'. The Pope's envoy clearly says as much in the film.

  • @tvdd1973 bringing misery to the natives??? why dont you read something of the missions of jesuits??? You are writing of this without knowing the subject. Jesuit bring natives science, progress, agriculture, commerce (between the natives villages).

  • @peloavila Sorry my poor english, but i havent written in english since a long time.

  • @peloavila You've just proved my point and demonstrated the arrogance and patronising attitude of the Jesuits. The Amazonian natives were perfectly happy WITHOUT science and 'progress' as you put it. They had survived successfully for thousands of generations. They didn't NEED the Jesuits' non-existent God and they didn't need 'progress', they needed to be left alone in peace.

  • @tvdd1973: Yes, it's unfortunate that when Jesuits or others like them (Christians or otherwise) bring their culture and believes to a native population they end up destroying that population, not help them. I know it happened to my people. We are a very small minority in our own land, no longer master of our destiny. This is the cycle of replacement, the stronger replacing the weaker. It is the way and it will continue to happen. The strong today could be replaced by the stronger tomorrow.

  • @tvdd1973

    Tampoco necesitamos a imbeciles como tu en estos tiempos.

  • @TheLolailo12 Lo siento. Mi espanol es terrible. No entiendo lo que quieres decir.

  • @tvdd1973

    Que eres un occidental acomplejado lleno de autodio, o en resumidas cuentas, que te den por culo gayer.

  • Simplemente maravillosa y sublime película y banda sonora del Maestro Enio Morricone

  • religion can be a very beautiful thing as demonstrated in this most wonderful film, unfortunately far too many "religious" leaders in today's society feel the need to use fear and hate to spread Christianity... I love this movie as it touches the heart of those in need to believe in the beauty life

  • don't throw your pearls to swine

  • I've heard this song a lot! I want to see this movie.

  • Comment removed

  • una delle scene più belle di sempre...

  • aw... beaufitul

  • Religion is bullshit for shit for brains. Let them have it. They're sick fucks and slaves to a big daddy in the sky. I wish there were a hell for all these hypocritical cunts to go to.

  • @willwak Beware what you wish for=)

  • @danieldedaldo I have to agree with willwak. I was raised Lutheran, later Baptist, the whole idea of controlling people with fear as the underlying theme woke me up to the reality of its mythology.

  • Лёше Парщикову . Годовщина

  • This sound is the background of my life...

  • Ah, when Jesuits were Jesuits and strong for the word of God. Amazing Movie and song...

  • @willwak Whatever. Secular Athiestic Hate for God's Church and the People of God...

  • Comment removed

  • @willwak For someone who does not think God is there, you sure have a lot of hate built up for something that you don't think is there? There are millions of milliions of people who hate what they think the Church is and not but ten who really hate the Church. You might be one of the ten. You are most likely in your 20s and have not really lived life yet. If you don't think God is real, why waste your time on a board for a Catholic Movie?

  • Comment removed

  • @willwak You will go on in your hate, and live in your despair I fear.  I pray that you find Love...
