教会

罗兰．约菲导演的史诗式宗教冒险片，两位男主角形象虽有点典型化，内容也有点庞杂，但映象十分壮观，某些场面的摄影美得让人窒息，杰瑞米．艾恩斯与罗伯特．德尼洛的对手戏也精彩可观。剧情描述十八世纪时，西班牙教士嘉比尔奉派到南美洲丛林为瓜拉尼族人建立教会。他碰到了奴隶贩子罗多萨，带着这个因为杀了弟弟而深感内疚的汉子一起前往目的地修行赎罪。当他们的传教任务稍具规模时，葡萄牙与西班牙政府却因为殖民地冲突而在当地发生战争屠杀，结局十分悲怆。Jeremy Irons plays a Spanish Jesuit who goes into the South American wilderness to build a mission in the hope of converting the Indians of the region. Robert DeNiro plays a slave hunter who is converted and joins Irons in his mission. When Spain sells the colony to Portugal, they are forced to defend all they have built against the Portuguese aggressors.
