At first, the sequence bothers me more towards the end of the film, with the thought of how I

could make a reflection from the worst-case scenario scene towards the end. With all that, I set
aside some time to watch the movie for the second and third times, where I discovered the
essence of the film. Indeed, the true pillars of leadership were revealed in Father Gabriel's
interpretation of the Guarani tribes' entire scenario. Father Gabriel is aware of the true situation
up there. He was aware that slavery and taking advantage of the poor Guarani natives was not an
ordinary process for threatening human beings. Father Gabriel was well aware that the Guarani
tribe needed to be educated in order to protect themselves. With this understanding, he has the
initiative to carry on the mission begun by the missionaries He expected children to know God,
to be able to play a musical instrument, and to enjoy a life full of possibilities. And he didn't
simply think with them; he also lived with them and worshiped God with them. He loves the
tribe so much that he laid down his life in a pleasant manner and lived with them so he could
constantly show them what life truly is when we have our God with us. He interacted with the
crowd and went about his business. The Guarani tribe adored him because of this. The sense of
belonging that Father Gabriel and other priests offered to the Guarani native tribe is worth more
than the reward those worldly items can provide. The tribe follows him, and they live in a happy
community at the summit of the mountain. Father Gabriel and the other priest were their heroes;
they were the fulfillment of the empty souls that they had never had in their previous years of
hiding at the top of the mountain. They will simply live their lives in hiding so that they are not
caught by the Portuguese and sold as slaves.

I can also learn from Rodrigo Mendoza's life that we can only find serenity if we seek our
redemption from the one who created us. His story, however, was so frequent that it was plotted
several times in the Bible. As in the stories of Apostle Paul, a Christian persecutor who became a
servant of God, and Zacchaeus, the top tax collector of Jericho, among many others. But
nevertheless, his character in the film symbolizes my belief that in order to learn the value of our
existence, we must make sacrifices those that we believe are normal since many people do them,
but in actuality, they are not. During his sacrifice, he understands the past flow of his life,
especially when the Guarani tribal tribe accepted him despite the fact that he kidnapped several
of their families and sold them to traffickers to become a slave. His role in the film reminds me
that we need to review ourselves and make urgent decisions about the things we always do in our
lives. It's similar to questioning ourselves about what is right in God's eyes: am I following God's
will, is God the source of conduct, and are my decisions right in God's eyes? As a student, I
enjoy these types of questions a reminder of my regular life routine.

Referring back to the movie's plot, it is true that it deserves reflection. a narrative that is
comparable to modern life. We might not act like Father Gabriel and other Jesuit priests did at
the top of the mountain, but we can at least make a little contribution to our neighborhood, our
immediate area, our friends, and even our own family.
