Captain Kidd (Tom Hanks), a newsreader, meets by chance a little girl (Helena Zengel) who has survived a massacre and has just been orphaned. Deciding to take her back to her native village, they must travel 600 kilometers on horseback. Adapted from the novel of the same name by Paulette Jiles, <em>The Mission <\/em>leaves an emptiness that even the long tracking shots over the Texas plains fail to fill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tom Hanks, biblical figure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How can we not draw an analogy with the verses of <em>The Gospel according to Matthew<\/em> if you look at the title for a moment, <em>The Mission<\/em>. When Jesus sent the eleven apostles on the Great Commission, he instructed them to \u00abmake disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit\u00bb (Mt 28:19). The problem is that Jesus succeeded in converting millions of followers; Paul Greengrass, on the other hand, converts viewers to boredom. And with good reason: <em>The Mission <\/em>has transformed the <em>Forrest Gump<\/em> (1994) as a washed-up apostle spreading newspaper news to an illiterate Southern population (note that this is almost a pleonasm) five years after the end of the Civil War. Against a backdrop of social and racial tensions, he sees himself as the unifier of differences, the disciple of his nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Stripped of his charisma, Tom Hanks plays the savior of the little savage girl, unable to save the film. Seemingly unable to believe it either, he delivers a conventional performance that fails miserably to elicit any semblance of emotion. But his character is imbued with biblical references that give him that seraphic air. Captain Kidd, wounded in the war, carries with him a past that we can only guess is tortured, but about which we'll never know anything. Reconverted into a public newspaper reader for reasons unknown - except perhaps after being struck by Revelation - he criss-crosses the muddy villages of Texas to bring the Good News to the little people who still give him a penny as alms. And thanks to a clever play on lighting, the captain is never in the shadows, his face always lit up. What's more, taking under his wing the wild child he's trying to educate only contributes to his messianic side. Whether the British director intended it or not, the film comes off as stereotypical, not least because of the morality it implies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A message that misses its target<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the figure of the world news reporter could have been an interesting prism to explore in a western, <em>The Mission<\/em> fails to exploit it properly because of the moral nature of the mission with which Captain Kidd is entrusted. Never named, the mission is ambiguous as to its purpose: should he bring the girl back safe and sound, or enlighten the few Southern rednecks still attached to backward traditions by drenching them in honeyed platitudes about suffering and freedom? It's precisely when a film is given a \u00abmission\u00bb that it throws itself into the lion's den. This film is no exception to the rule: any sense of spontaneity or surprise collapses. What follows is a simplistic scenario whose outcome can be guessed after the film's first nine minutes. Any bloodshed is toned down in case our sensibilities are too raw. The characters are not to be outdone: they act exactly as we expect them to: the good guys are good guys and the bad guys, in addition to being bad guys, are bad guys. Some of the plot twists are so baffling as to be almost comical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>A \u00abwestern\u00bb that hurts its predecessors, in short. Among them, <em>Merciless<\/em> (1992) reveals a Clint Eastwood who displays a more realistic moral ambiguity, and paradoxically, a more reassuring one, knowing that bastards can sometimes be mistaken for good guys. Or more recently, with <em>Django Unchained <\/em>(2012), in which Jamie Foxx, newly freed from slavery, takes his revenge a little too zealously, even killing the men who freed him. If <em>The Mission<\/em> had freed itself from its moral straitjacket, we might have been treated to an interesting and nuanced film. And nuanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<form method=\"post\" action=\"https:\/\/newsletter.infomaniak.com\/external\/submit\" class=\"inf-form\" target=\"_blank\"><input type=\"email\" name=\"email\" style=\"display:none\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"key\" value=\"eyJpdiI6IlZXRVJGMlRGQUU2alNqUE81bitIUk5adnNVa0c4MllFTStzOHdHT1FQZ3c9IiwidmFsdWUiOiJIYzhwMUVCK1pTNnlhY3MyMmhuZlhReWJqemEwNk93blMxTjFHc0s2VHZrPSIsIm1hYyI6ImVhYTQ5N2I1M2NiYWE4NzBmNjk2NzgzYjliM2Y5NmYzM2E2ZmU3NGQxNTU1ZDFkMTU1MzY5NTdjYjE3ZTJmNTUifQ==\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"webform_id\" value=\"7291\"><style> .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff{ background-color:#f5f5f5; padding:25px 20px; margin:25px auto; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-content { margin-top:13px;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff span, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff input, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-success p a { color:#555555; font-size:14px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4{ font-size:18px; margin:0px 0px 13px 0px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label{ font-weight:bold; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input { margin-bottom:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label { display:block;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff input{ height:35px; color:#999999; border: 1px solid #E9E9E9; border:none; padding-left:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error label, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error span.inf-message{ color: #cc0033; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error input{ border: 1px solid #cc0033; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input input { width:100%;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error span.inf-message { display: block; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit { text-align:right;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit input{ background-color:#777777; color:#ffffff; border:none; font-weight: normal; height:auto; padding:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit input.disabled{ opacity: 0.4; } .inf-btn { color: rgb(85, 85, 85); border: medium none; font-weight: normal; height: auto; padding: 7px; display: inline-block; background-color: white; box-shadow: 0px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.24); border-radius: 2px; line-height: 1em; } .inf-rgpd { margin:25px 0px 15px 0px; color:#555555; } <\/style> <div class=\"inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff\"> <h4>NEWSLETTER DU REGARD LIBRE<\/h4> <span>Receive our articles every Sunday.<\/span> <div class=\"inf-success\" style=\"display:none\"> <h4>Your subscription to our weekly newsletter has been successfully registered!<\/h4> <p> <a href=\"#\" class=\"inf-btn\">\u00ab<\/a> <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"inf-content\"> <div class=\"inf-input inf-input-text\"> <input type=\"text\" name=\"inf[1]\" data-inf-meta=\"1\" data-inf-error=\"Merci de renseigner une adresse email\" required=\"required\" placeholder=\"Email\"> <\/div> <div class=\"inf-submit\"> <input type=\"submit\" name=\"\" value=\"Sign up\"> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/form>\n\n\n\n<p>The parallels between this film and the American political situation just emerging from the Trump era are glaring: Captain Kidd, or the fighter for the <em>fakes news<\/em> educating the Republican public. Without being a Democratic pamphlet, the message shared by Paul Greengrass through his direction is on the whole accurate, but the form with which he stages it remains clumsy. If racial issues continue to be feverish, polarizing current affairs, excommunicating a section of the American population by depicting it in a grotesque caricature only feeds this polarization. Fighting fire with fire has never been a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Write to the author: <a href=\"mailto:alice.bruxelle@leregardlibre.com\">alice.bruxelle@leregardlibre.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"720\" src=\"http:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Affiche_La-Mission.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39916\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Affiche_La-Mission.jpg 576w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Affiche_La-Mission-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Affiche_La-Mission-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Affiche_La-Mission-300x375.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo credits: \u00a9 Bruce W.
