13. The Mission

Mon Jul 6, 2020, 07:59 AM

Jul 2020

I was a kid when The Mission first came out, and I remember my parents—being the progressive Catholics that they are—were really taken by not only the movie but its soundtrack. And I remember hearing the entire soundtrack playing in our house on many occasions. And after I saw the movie, I had to say that it matched the cinematic beauty and lushness of the film perfectly.

A couple of weeks ago I heard one of the tracks from the movie being used as a reflection piece, and it immediately took me back. A wonderful soundtrack.
