Black Robe - Movie Review

"Black Robe" - Movie Review "Black Robe" is a movie that tells the story of the first contacts between the Huron Indians of Quebec and the Jesuit missionaries from France who came to convert them to Catholicism, but ended up delivering the Indians into the hands of their enemies. The Jesuits saw the "Savages", as they called them, as souls to be saved. The natives saw the Black Robes, as they called them, as destroyers …

…historically very accurate. That is what makes it very fascinating and it is impressive, how the viewer is able to look into the hearts and minds of the French men, as well as the Indians By doing that, the movie did not take sides. I have to admit that Black Robe had given me a depressive feeling and that some scenes are hard to forget, but it was telling the truth and that is important.
