The Mission (1986)


 Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons in The Mission (1986)


Oscar winner for Best Cinematography, The Mission is about an eighteenth-century Spanish Jesuits try to protect a remote South American tribe in danger of falling under the rule of pro-slavery Portugal.

This is Ennio Morricone's favorite among his own movie scores. Morricone expressed disappointment that this film lost the 1987 Academy Award for Best Music, Original Score to 'Round Midnight (1986), which included jazz standards. As of 2020, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences requires nominated original scores to be at least 60% original, a minimum raised to 80% for sequels and franchise films.
