Goofs:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the scene in which the young Guarani boy sings heavenly, but Cabeza calls him an animal nonetheless, Father Gabriel gives a speech in the boy's defense. The gathering's reaction is first observed, but as the image briefly cuts to Gabriel, it is visible that his lips do not move, even though he is not through with his speech yet.

Rarely does a film have all the elements in film making all come together so perfectly. I can honestly say that this is THE BEST film I have ever seen, and the most powerful film I have seen. I always said that some films are 'one' of the best, but I can truly say that this is THE Best film I have seen. The cinematography is excellent, excellent casts, and an awesome score. I kept the tape playing during the credits just to listen to the music. If you haven't seen this, you better see it, it is unforgettable and will remain with you forever.
