The film “The Mission”, released in 1986, is a fictional story with a historical plot. Several characters are based on historical figures. While some scenes represent historical events. The film is about the work of the Jesuits and how the mission of the Jesuits was to "spread Catholic ideas through teaching...(and) missionary work" (p. 1.). The film does more than just implement the story; it shows us how far humans will go to obtain power. Back then, power had to expand as much as possible, the more land you had, the more power you had. The powers here are Spain and Portugal who seek to enslave the indigenous people, take over their lands and expand. This film makes us look not only at the historical context it contains, but also at our current society with a different perspective. The film makes us look at the way we judge others in our society today and in the past through their eyes. What I mean by that is that in society we are divided into classes or clicks. They are there even if we don't want to believe them or think we are immune to them. Each person belongs to several clicks. I am classified as a country girl. I grew up in a small hometown where everyone knows everyone. I worked on a farm. When we went to bed, we left our doors open. This is how I was raised for eighteen years of my life. In my high school, everyone was pretty much the same. Most of us lived on farms and it was not uncommon for someone to be called out of class because someone left the door open and the cows ran away. We all grew up with each other, my class was only about 120 people and we were the largest class. I remember around 10th grade, a boy named Nick joined our class. He wasn't like the rest of us; he was in the middle of a paper......and as he was dying, another native tribesman picked up the sacred object he was walking with when he was shot, in the end when a child picked up one of the musical instruments and the emissary regrets his decision. Today we still have social injustice. Many people believe that some minorities are more prone to violence than others. My family is guilty of this. Having not grown up in the city, my father is terrified of anything and every type of race. He is afraid that certain races in the city contain only bad people who will take advantage of anyone. By opening people like my father and me to new environments and giving us that extra boost, we learn that not everything we don't know is bad and won't harm us. We break down our barriers and learn to share with others around us that things are not what they seem..
