Much too late to catch it on the big screen....

but....I do think it would have been "big screen worthy".My current class is Spanish 1. It's a 4 credit class! It could be quite useful...that is if I ever get the hang of it. In class "La profesora" had us watch - "The Mission" with Jeremy Irons, and Robert Dinero (both looking so young). She had us do a research project on the Guarani, a native tribe in South America. The movie touches on the early days when the Jesuits tried to build missions and "save" the Guarani.

I highly recommend this movie. It touched me having just researched them, but, if it doesn't touch you....well...just think about it. Yes it is a Hollywood film, but it is based upon real people. You can catch it I believe on NetFlix, or if you have Amazon and can stream it.....do it.

We had to do a short paper on the movie, answer 2 questions. The other night in class "La profesora" said to me..."Janet, your paper was so good, I have never seen anyone who struggles so much with Spanish write so well in English" ;) I am choosing to take that as a compliment! ;)
