I use to get emotioned whenever I watch Mendoza on the ground without being able to move due to the load he carries. One indian splits the rope of the load and Mendoza starts crying Jeremy Irons smiles becase he knows Mendoza has achieve redention
I like it very much.

Yes, dude. This was a solid scene. I would go as far as to say that the movie would not been half as good without this seen. I also like the scene where the child brought him the sword. It as like saying. I know that you are capable of using this, but you are on our side now and we need you to fight for us.

When Jeremy Irons gets shot in the ending massacre. He falls down and drops the icon, which gets picked up by one of the Guarani, and they continue to march forward. Talk about commitment to the religion
The first time I saw this movie, I suspected that the Guarani would flee once Jeremy Irons character got killed, but no, they didn't. -

I agree, that's the most emotional and best part of the whole movie.
Also when Rodrigo cries after his bulk was removed by the indian.
By the way, I descend from that tribe, the Guaranies, on my mom's side.
I'm proud of that. -

when Jeremy Irons plays his flute in the jungle and this is his first attempt to communicate with the Indians. And he succeeds!
I think this is the Nella Fantasia melody which later became popular in Sara Brightmans Eden album -

I also liked the scene where they cut the load from Rodrigo Mendoza
I also liked the scene where after Father Gabriel is shot, and one of the villagers takes up the monstrance.
Finally that quote about being too weak to live in a world of hate (or something like that) was striking on account of that Priest's humility, who was honest enough to say that in a world where other men take pride in being brutish. -

When Rodrigo asks for Father Gabriel's blessing and doesn't receive itand when Father Gabriel gives Rodrigo the cross at the end of that scene.
Cried at some of the ones mentioned above.

i had to smile when the load of mendoza was cut of and fall into the water.
as it is written in the bible:
"He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast !all their sins into the depths of the sea!"
another great scene:
as the papal guy talks to a native priest about the common use of the profit,
he refers to a doktrine of a "radical french group" who also would do this.
the priest smiles and says: "this is the doctrin of the first christians"
all quotes are translated as i only saw the german version

I also cried alot in all the scenes you've described above (mostly, I think because I'm a Christian and I'm ashamed of some of the things that the church those days did, but also because I believe in the missionary causeb (I wanted to be a missionary myself).
I saw this movie for the first time in 2000, beacuse it was on the school's program, and I was the only one who cried on the movie, but I'm not ashamed of it, maybe it shows that I have the perception of the wrong things that the "conquerors" and the church did back than.
I own now the DVD and saw it again, and I cried over it again and actually I think I always will.
Everytime I hear "Nella fantasia" version I get covered in goose pimples.

The flute Jeremy Irons plays, would calm and soothe the curious Natives. It was as if Music was a Language to bridge the Gap of people. "Music soothes the savage Beast", and I loved it when the other Indian handed the broken instrument to Irons.

Holy Great Point Batman,
I never thought of that. That does make that scene a lot more powerful now. I wonder if they intended that?
