The greatest of these is love.

''Though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains and have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor and though I give my body to be burned and have not love, it profiteth me nothing. Love suffereth and love is kind. Love envieth not. Love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a ... read more

Back in 1984, Roland Joffe accomplished the near impossible; his major motion picture debut, The Killing Fields, defied every expectation typically associated with neophyte filmmakers and what Joffe delivered was one of the most powerful and moving films I've ever seen. So it's no surprise I highly anticipated his follow-up film, The Mission, and it's obvious that by bringing back the same team (p... read more

“"Ahora subsisten la fe, la esperanza y la caridad, estas tres. Pero la mayor de todas ellas es la caridad."

I Corintios 13:13

Este versículo, bien narrado dentro de la película hoy a reseñar, envuelve todo el significado de la película, y todo el significado dela cristiandad, aquel que trasciende la Iglesia, y que es la iglesia en sí, esa Iglesia espiritual, que esta por encima de esa necesaria, pero falible iglesia política, como tan falible es cualquier institución humana.

Una de las cosas que me hizo querer mas este filme, fue su carácter pedagógico, que envuelve la contribución a la ciencia de la docencia dada por los jesuitas, esto porque soy estudiante de docencia en Geografía e historia. Esta orden, aprendió la lengua y las costumbres de l” read more

"É um filme bom, aborda de uma maneira interessante os contatos dos nativos com os Jesuítas, mostrando as técnicas de conversão, além das intrigas políticas, o filme é bom. "

"20.8. Elokuvan lähtöasetelmat ovat kiinnostavat, mutta siihen elokuvan sanomaan ja itse jännän äärelle päästäänkin oikeastaan vasta ensimmäisen tunnin jälkeen. Tätä edeltävä Robert DeNiron hahmon melodramaattinen patsastelu ja sen jälkeinen sielunpuhdistustyö onkin melkein kinskimäistä paatosta, joka sekin on jo melkoista. Pahimmillaan meno on kuitenkin kuin Endorilla Jedin paluussa, jolloin elokuva ampuukin melkolailla ohi. "
