This piece from the final scene in this wonderful thought provoking film, track 12 on the soundtrack and called River, is played seemingly inappropriately during the massacre of the Guarani which is shown in it's full savagery. The brilliance of the music is in it reflecting the fact that the Portuguese invaders thought they were doing the work of God, seeing no wrong in the slaughter. #AtTheMovies #FilmJam #HopeYouLikeIt   10

Thanks to @JodyLeHeup for putting me onto the Yo Yo Ma/Morricone album and reminding me about this!
