This is probably one of my top three favorite movies of all time.
**with Robert DeNiro, Jeremy Irons, Ray McAnally, Aidan Quinn, Liam Neeson
Roland Joffe directs this epic about the Catholic Church's attempts at converting an Indian tribe in South America. You can care nothing about any part of the subject matter going into this and LOVE this movie. Its visuals are rich and stunning, the soundtrack is one of the best ever created and the acting is superb. Over twenty years after first seeing it, it remains one of the best movies I've ever watched. And I'm a bit of a movie junkie to put it mildly.
Few have seen it, few will ever forget it once they have.
Just watch the opening.... or listen, I should say. The score is so gorgeous it brings me to tears. The film uses the talents and voices of the actual Indian tribe of which the movie is about in the music. The children's voices are beyond description.

To listen to the child in this clip sing Ave Maria and realize he was basically 'discovered' living in the jungles of South America by a film crew possessing this extraordinary voice.... well it really changes your idea of "uncivilized."
