My favorite movie

I don´t consider myself a fanmovie person. I don´t see movies often because I haven´t a style of movies or series predetermined to follow on internet. Some TV movies can attract me, but in many times that films are commercial productions, movies with amazing effects but a poorly argument. However, most of the films I see from TV, in channels like HBO, Cinemax and Europa&Europa, and suddenly I can find a good movie to see.
That was de case of “The Mission”, a 1986 British drama film. I don´t consider myself a religious person, let alone a catholic person, but I want to confess that I was captivated by this movie.
The film is about the Jesuits communities in Sacramento (today, Uruguay) named “missions”, a place to form and teach Catholics practice and European technical to Native Americans by Jesuits priest. This labor was disrupted as a result of disputes in Europe between Spain and Portugal monarchies about his relation with Jesuits, who had a great power in America. So, Portugal decides to eject Jesuits in these territories without worrying the work they have done and when they resist it, Portugal attacks without mercy.
Also his beautiful argument and screenplay, the mission has other artworks like legendary music by Ennio Morricone and his immortal Oboe. And don´t forget his beautiful photography about cataracts and sylvatic environment in general.
