What a great movie, De Niro and Jeremy Irons where superb
this dialogue during the trial held to decide wether the Guarani Indians were humans or animals was amazing:
Priest defending the Guaranis: they are naturally spiritual
portuguese: spiritual? they kill their own young!!!
Priest: that is true, may i answer that? every man and woman is allowed one child. If a third is born it is immediately killed. But this is not some animal rite, is a necesity for survival. They can only run with one child a piece. And what do they run from? They run from us ...
