 Surf:  MARS ROVER MISSION

 #34 FILM The Mission 

A visually stunning epic, THE MISSION recounts the true story of two men--a man of the sword (Robert De Niro) and a man of the cloth (Jeremy Irons)--both Jesuit missionaries who defied the colonial forces of mighty Spain and Portugal to save an Indian tribe from slavery in mid-18th-century South America. Mendoza (De Niro) is a slave trader and colonial imperialist who murdered his own brother (Aidan Quinn) and seeks penance for his sins by becoming a missionary at Father Gabriel's (Irons) mountaintop mission; Gabriel is a devout and idealistic man who extols nonviolence and peaceful interaction with the natives and colonialists. Despite their differences, the two men must unite to save the mission when Spain, Portugal, and the Catholic church begin negotiating their boundaries in the area--negotiations that will affect both the freedom of the natives and the well-being of the Jesuit missionaries who have set up safe havens for them. Director Roland Joffe's sweeping masterpiece is a haunting account of the treatment of the Guarani Indians of South America and the men who fought desperately, in very different ways, to save them.

Answer the Questions:

 1. Jesuit Priests were highly educated and able to go places where no other "Old Worlders" had been before. What evidence do we see of this schooling and endurance in the movie?

2. Describe what life is like amongst the Guarani Indians above the falls. How does it compare to the lifestyle of the Europeans below the falls? Which lifestyle would you prefer? Why?

3. As the story unfolds we see the true nature of two  different men (Father Gabriel and Rodrigo). Which of them do you believe is the most honorable?

4. In the "Name of the Rose" we discussed the conflict between faith and reason. In this movie emerges a conflict between faith and greed. In your assessment, which wins out? Why?

5. This film has been called "...one of film history's most haunting spectacles." Why might someone characterize this film as haunting? Do you agree or disagree with that assessment?

6. At the end of the film there is an exchange between his Eminency Lord Altamirano and Hontar, the Portuguese representative:

Hontar: We must work in the world, your eminence. The world is thus.
Altamirano: No, Señor Hontar. Thus have we made the world... thus have I made it.

What is the significance of this quote? What does it say about humanity and our role in determining the future? With whom do you agree?
