The Mission, part one
For our Christian Thought and Culture class, we watched the movie, "The Mission", starring Robert DeNiro and Jeremy Irons from back in the 80's.
This movie was very powerful. Probably one of the most influential movies I have ever seen. I can't say that I've processed all of my thoughts yet concerning this movie, so I'll probably share more on it in the future.
Needless to say, the movie raises alot of questions about the nature and process of evangelism, about church and state issues, and about love in general. I thought it was very good...and very challenging to watch. I would suggest this movie to anyone (it is rated R, so anyone above 17, that is). It definitely is a beautiful movie (with an equally beautiful soundtrack, I must add)
I will most likely post more on this at a later date...

The Mission is definitely in my top five movies of all time. Powerful images of grace and redemption, as well as bringing up hard questions about how to engage the culture.
