Review of The Mission (1986) by Fernando C — 03 Apr 2008
A beautiful movie, with excellent cinematography. It's quite underrated, I don't know why; it has strong acting, a breathtaking soundtrack, a great story about faith and redemption, what more could you ask for? Perhaps what fails is the narrative line, which stumbles over and over after a wondeful beginning, jumping from point A to point B with few explanations and little visual symbolism to help.
The first 10-15 minutes and the last half are masterful creation. The middle is a little messy and rushed, though always well acted, shot and coreographed.
