Hundreds of middle and high school students in Orange County now are learning how to shoot film and video, edit, create special effects and otherwise acquire enough knowledge to become the next Spielberg or Scorsese.
Moreover, video production also is booming in colleges, propelled by an ever-expanding spectrum of television channels, Web sites and direct-to-consumer movies. Chapman University in Orange established a film school in 1996 that now enrolls 1,119 students who work and study at a new $41 million, 76,000-square-foot building.
But film and video programs at middle and high schools reflect not only the growth of the medium but also the debate about standards. Should high school students hear cursing? See sex scenes? Witness graphic violence?
Al Raitt, a freshman at Chapman University, says he watched A Clockwork Orange as part of a film class at University High School in Irvine. Raitt says the movie contained good lessons in shooting angles, lighting and aesthetics.
In the Capistrano Unified School District, films must be reviewed and approved by the principal before they can be shown to students. Anything R-rated is discouraged, said Beverly de Nicola, spokeswoman for the district.
The Jesuits have sacrificed time and in some cases their lives to reaching out to the Guaraní and converting them, and the Guaraní have against their initial judgment begun to trust the Jesuits, changing their way of life, becoming a part of these Missions, acculturating themselves to a European and Catholic approach to life, and creating and distributing wealth (and crops) amongst themselves. (Note: my description here is as the film portrays, not as the historical record may otherwise indicate.)
There are so many characters worthy of description here, and it is an injustice not to mention them all, but one final character absolutely must be discussed in greater detail, Rodrigo Mendoza. Mendoza begins as a violent, petty, and selfish mercenary and slave trader. But after killing his brother, due to jealously and anger, he falls into deep despair. Gabriel, who until that time was an adversary he viewed in contempt, becomes his counselor and companion, and the father helps Mendoza seek redemption for his past life. Through a very affecting scene, one of the best in the film, Mendoza receives absolution from the Guaraní. De Niro plays this scene well, showing the literal and symbolic relief that comes from the weight that has been lifted from his back. Mendoza becomes a jesuit priest, though the robe does not always wear easy on him and his more martial sensibilities.
The documentary was an intense and long collaboration between the two lead characters, Harry Turner and Samantha Zwicker, and the film's directors, Trevor Frost and Melissa Lesh. It took them a total of four years to complete the entire documentary.
This is a powerful, compelling, and spiritually stirring film directed by Roland Joffe (The Killing Fields) and written by Robert Bolt (A Man For All Seasons). Filmed entirely on location in Colombia, South America, The Mission won the Golden Palm (Best Film) Award at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival.
The Mission depicts the challenge of conscience that confronts us all in a world convulsed by power, greed, and violence. Its power lies in the way it convinces us that the fierce conflict-ridden world we see on the screen is similar to the one in which we live today. At the same time, The Mission is a deeply moving film that reminds us of the vitality of love, the miracle of grace, and the transforming power of acts of conscience.
This two-disc special edition DVD contains a full-length commentary by director Roland Joffe; film highlights from the cast, director, and writer; and the theatrical trailer. There is also a bonus documentary, Omnibus, which visits the film's location and looks at the besieged tribal people, the Waunana Indians, who live there and who portrayed the Guarani in the film.
Culture critic Michael Medved went so far as to label the film anti-religious, on the grounds that it focused on cowardly eighteenth-century ecclesiastical officials who sold out idealistic Jesuit missionaries and their converts to profit-minded Portuguese imperialists and slave traders. Yet in 1995, the papal committee compiling the Vatican film list numbered The Mission among fifteen films noteworthy for special religious significance.
But the beauty of The Mission goes beyond landscapes or camerawork. From the unforgettable opening sequence, with its stunning depiction of the martyrdom of a silent Jesuit missionary at the hands of equally silent South American natives, the film is shot through with piercing, haunting imagery, pictures of enduring imaginative force.
With each film released every couple of years, people of varied generations react differently. Older generations grow tired of seeing this man become a trend, while teenagers make jokes and act immaturely as if the case does not pertain to real events that happened; this remains ignorance at best and cruel at worst.
