The Mission (2023)
6/10
Hilarious study in hubris.

Damn, this is mind blowing.

Violating the human rights of the "sentinelese" by not introducing them to jesus?

Right, whilst the missionary's hawking product tie-ins on their social media - I'm sure that's what jesus had in mind when throwing the money lenders out the temple. In fact, I think that part of jesus' life was sponsored by Mountain Dew.

Nevermind the Human Right of the Sentinese to have hidden cameras placed on their island so the missionary could study them or potentially have illness/disease introduced to them that they have no immunity to.

I remember 9/11 and the New York lady that was circulated in the media "why do they hate us"?

It's up to you to decide, but personally I found no redeeming features in any of the social group of the missionary, who I could best desribe as well-intentioned, but ultimately dangerous proto-fascists "for christ".

I've had the misfortune of being around evangelicals - if you're not one of them "converting" you seems to be how they measure their own worth - not living as christ, but bullying, cajoling, threatening, bribing - all whilst failing to observe the beam in their own eyes.

Nothing of value was lost here other than the time the Sentinelese took to dispose of this "person" that they no doubt could have spent not being disturbed.
