	Society of Jesus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They were an important force in the Counter-Reformation and in the Catholic missions, in part because their relatively loose structure (without the requirements of living in community, saying the divine office together, etc.) allowed them to be flexible to meet the needs of the people at the time.
		Jesuit missions in Latin America were very controversial in Europe, especially in Spain and Portugal, where they were seen as interfering with the proper colonial enterprises of the royal governments.
		Jesuit scholars working in these foreign missions to the "heathens" were very important in understanding their unknown languages and strived for producing Latinicized grammars and dictionaries, the first organized efforts at linguistics.

	Mission: Impossible 2: Cinephiles Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Mission: Impossible 2, directed by John Woo (Face/Off) and written by Robert Towne, explores the action genre by exploiting the stylization of violence.
		Characterized by a hyperrealistic aesthetic, Mission: Impossible 2 displays carefully choreographed chase scenes and sophisticated acrobatics à-la-Matrix (often shot in slow-motion, although not by freezing and rotating the image), between protagonist and antagonist.
		All in all, Mission: Impossible 2 suffers from the imbalance produced by excessive action and little drama, and by the predictability of a plot that exists merely to exhibit the magnificence of its hero.

	The Mission (1986) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Based loosely off of true events, The Mission is set in the 1750s in the regions of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, when Spanish and Portuguese colonial forces were continuously seeking to expand their territories and constantly fighting one another.
		The missions are designed in a style similar to the French radicalism of the period (the film is set decades prior to the French Revolution of 1789), where the Guarani share everything in common.
		Apparently The Mission also seeks to give the audience a moral lesson about modern day transgressions against the Guarani and other indigenous people in the Americas, but this is not particularly effective and comes across as cloying and, frankly, patronizing towards the natives, who, as stated earlier, are simply props in this story.

		A thinly veiled fable reflecting the current struggle in Latin America, "The Mission" is based on events surrounding the Treaty of Madrid in 1750, in which Spain ceded part of South America to Portugal.
		The movie doesn't spring to life again till its bloody, operatic resolution, but even there, the action is often clumsily staged.
		Clearly, Joffe' fell in love with the Indians and their environment, and much of "The Mission" is a paean to a threatened way of life.

		Set in the year 2020, Mission to Mars follows the experts' prediction that by that year "…we should have a manned landing on Mars," as director De Palma states in an interview.
		The visual veracity that the film initially established is followed by a fanciful discovery at the end of the journey, where the unknown entity is defined and the mystery is undone.
		Consequently, the astronauts begin to appear to the viewer as characters playing astronauts, the realistic sets become stages, and Mission to Mars is transformed from a fictional representation of scientific Truth to a scientific representation of Fiction.

		I must have seen The Mission at least ten times, but until this recent viewing, in light of the current Church scandal, I didn't discern the film's flaw in not more fully addressing the question of deference to the cardinal.

	Kinnopio's Movie Reviews - Mission to Mars
		The only recent bread and butter space drama that springs to mind is Ron Howard's Apollo 13, which dabbled in both science fiction (or nonfiction, as the case was) and action but stuck to its dramatic guns to reap the benefits of a powerful story told well.
		Mission to Mars isn't nearly on that level -- it may be years before anyone does a high-powered space drama as good as Apollo 13 -- but it plays with many of the same thoughts and ideas, and for the second go-round, it's not that bad.
		It begins in the year 2020 with the first manned mission to Mars, in which astronaut Luc Goddard (Don Cheadle) lands his crew in the planet's Cydonia region and promptly discovers a strange outcropping of metal inconsistent with the surrounding geology.

		A visually stunning epic, THE MISSION recounts the true story of two men--a man of the sword (Robert De Niro) and a man of the cloth (Jeremy Irons)--both Jesuit missionaries who defied the colonial forces of mighty Spain and Portugal to save an Indian tribe from slavery in mid-18th-century South America.
		Despite their differences, the two men must unite to save the mission when Spain, Portugal, and the Catholic church begin negotiating their boundaries in the area--negotiations that will affect both the freedom of the natives and the well-being of the Jesuit missionaries who have set up safe havens for them.
		At the end of the movie, it is hard to tell which is the better philosophy.
