This type of story is familiar (except the Jesuits don't adopt the Natives' way of life or beliefs, actually the opposite). So I would call this movie a "proto" Dances with Wolves, which other movies have derived from it, such as Pocahontas, Avatar, The Last Samurai.

A Man Called Horse is really the proto-Dances with Wolves.

The Mission was made in 1986, way before Dancing with Wolves.

Hence, why he said "The Mission is a

It's typically called a 'going native' story. Person from comparatively advances society goes back to a simpler way of life, realises that everything he thought he knew was wrong, and living off the land is the way to go.
Even when The Mission was first released, the idea was nothing new.
Never defend crap with 'It's just a movie'
