LoginCritic Reviews for Kundun
All Critics (59) | Top Critics (15) | Fresh (44) | Rotten (14) | DVD (8)
Vigorously directed, sensual and hypnotic, Scorsese's film is a visually extraordinary meditation on ritual, nature and humanity.
A challenging, thought provoking, mediative film that sits uncomfortably with Scorcese's previous work is helped no end by a superb score by Philip Glass.
The music ties together all the pretty pictures, gives the narrative some momentum, and helps to induce a kind of alert detachment, so that you're neither especially interested nor especially bored.
Scorsese has taken the harsh mystery out of Tibetan Buddhism, and out of its oppression, too.
Scorsese's rich tableau of image and music bears a potent emotional weight.
Kundun is surely the most gentle and meditative of Scorsese's films, a placid biography with the scope of an epic, the quality of a storybook, and the dramatic stakes of a tragedy.
Disregarding commercial considerations, Scorsese's haunting meditation on Dalai Lama's early life is a majestic spectacle of images and sounds, but it's bogged down by a routine script that fails to offer fresh insights on Tibet's non-violent culture
There's no denying the artistry of Kundun. Its heart also appears to be in the right place. But for those like me who don't have a versed history in the modern history of Tibet or Buddhism, the scope is ultimately too big.
Urged on by Philip Glass's throbbing, blaring score, the director conjures a phenomenal, trance-like climax, owing more to dreams, second sight and the mind's eye than conventional dramatic rhetoric.
Martin Scorcese has made a meditative, low key historical drama about a truly mystical figure of our modern history, departing from his usual, violence-prone flicks.
Scorsese skillfully indulges his propensity for obsessive detail. Visually, the direction is varied and exhilarating
Though a meditative, introspective film, Scorsese's distinctive techniques cause Kundun to pulse with life under its calm surface.
All in all, Kundun is beautifully produced and honestly acted.
Scorcese has made one of his best and most personal films.
Kundun is original, moving, inspiring -- and one of the best movies of the year.
'Filmed with the approval of the 14th Dalai Lama himself, Kundun is reverential to a fault...and that fault is the film's biggest weakness.'
Kundun is both a stunning visual feast and a moving meditation on the difficulty of sustaining the Buddhist principle of nonviolence in a brutal world.
A great film about a good man.
Scorsese's celebrated eye for composition and camera placement has never been more evident.
Memorable mainly for its moral message about the courage it takes to adhere to the Buddhist principle of nonviolence in the face of so much suffering.
Audience Reviews for Kundun
The cover of Kundun makes you think "kids movie," until you see who directed it: Scorsese. No one gets whacked, and the film is nearly bloodless, (compared to, say, Goodfellas), but if it wouldn't horrify a child, it would certainly bore one, as it's basically a biopic. This may, in fact, be the one time we could accuse Scorsese of Oscar-baiting: Tibet was a hot issue in the mid-90s, and you know how much the Academy likes this kind of story (see: Gandhi), and it's almost purgatorial of him, after Casino, to turn his attention to this paragon of non-violence - as he did with Jesus, too, come to think of it. Scorsese's fascination with violence makes this - and Last Temptation of Christ - a strange choice, but then again, violence can be equally fascinating in its absence. A lot went right, but Kundun will forever be lumped with Last Temptation in the "departures" section of Scorsese's career.
As concerns the film itself, it opens rather dully, with a strangely ominous Tibetan drum track appearing almost too often, but eventually it wraps its loving arms around you and shares excellent cinematography, insights from afar, and wonderfully unfamiliar music (by Phillip Glass). The powerful way in which the music drives the film almost makes up for a plot - discovery of the Dalai Lama, his coming of age, confrontation with Mao and his exile in India - that's somewhat rote, and for wooden acting across the board (language barrier, perhaps?). In all, it's not Scorsese's best work, but to dismiss it is to overlook some of the aspects of his films that - as the Academy recognized, with Hugo - are among the best in the industry: costuming, music, sound, cinematography, makeup... all things you can't really be the best at without having the Best Director, but I digress. Kundun is unorthodox, but if you let it, it can carry you away.
Super Reviewer
more than any of scorsese's films, kundun shows his remarkable range as a story teller. the film struggled to draw in real emotion at points and reverence shown to the dalai lama went too far in missing an opportunity to show his flaws, but just about every other element of this film was nearly perfect. deakins cinematography was astounding, some of the best of his already mind blowing career, and the landscapes, costumes, and acting performances were all excellent. when this film is set against scorsese's gangster films as a contrast, you can really see the difference between the hate and sin of those characters and the humility and spirituality of these ones. a stunning film.
MoreSuper Reviewer
A film I have been wanting to see for quite some time, purely on a spiritual level and because I have an attraction toward Tibet.
I feel I have learned a few things from this film, but at the same time I found it a little boring - which was a little disappointing.
The film, directed by Scorsese, was made well and I'm sure resembled the facts as a true story, it just wasn't as insightful as I had hoped it would be.
Super Reviewer
Scorsese's amazing film about the life of the 14th Dalai Lama is something to behold.Schoonmaker's editing and Deakins's cinematography bring exquisite beauty to this stunning pieces of cinema

- Following up on the
initial news
, today
has confirmed that the new PS3 Slim models CECH-3001A and CECH-3001B are now available in North America while
has shared some
comparison pictures
of the new PlayStation 3 Slim alongside details via
and a
To quote: Just wanted to let you guys know that Amazon (for the US anyway) has begun shipping out the 3001-A's to customers. There is actually a few more changes to the hardware then I noticed in the pics (I have one). the Wifi light was removed but not the HDD light, the PS logo above the drive is now silk screened rather then an emblem while the silk screened SONY logo was removed in favor of an indented logo.
Also the power and eject buttons have changed color to a darker gray and the silver/clear overlay around them is removed.
Lastly the entire casing is now a matte finish besides the power button/drive face area, no more glossy front and side plastic, which considering how easily this this gets crappy looking is a good improvement. The unit is also lighter then the 2001-A (not sure why) also I believe they may have finally engineered out the annoying plastic pop from case expansion/contraction with this model, but I will need to test it longer to find out for sure. I can take some pics of the two units if anyone feels its necessary.
I am not capable of giving you a 100% certain answer on this just yet, let me play a few games that push the system's fan up (uncharted 2 and FFXIII usually did the trick with the 2001-A). Right now with each sitting side by side, the 3001's fan sounds like a very light humm and the 2001's sounds like a shhhh (I know this sounds silly but Im doing my best to tell you how it sounds :P). What I can tell you is that when I enter the room I predominantly hear the 2001-A over the new unit.
No they removed the LED backlighting from the actual buttons. The little green and blue LEDs are still there above the buttons, unless thats what your talking about. Like an above poster said the system looks off when playing a blu-ray.
As above right now it sounds like the 3001-A is quieter then the 2001-A I have right next to it as the 2001 is making most of the fan noise in the room (keeping in mind both are doing the exact same thing) Nope thats still there just the green wifi LED is gone.
Yes it is from the case expanding and contracting from extreme heat changes. The original Slim and the 2500 both get very hot likely due to the internal power supply as most of the units are hottest across the top back of the console. The 2500 that I have with me, when fully heated up separates slightly in the middle of the top of the back so that you can actually depress it about a centimeter or so due to the case expansion.
The good news is so far I have no cracking/popping from the 3001-A even after being on for 4 hours (for reference the other Slims I have owned and tested all started popping a hour after being turned on). With another user confirming that his does not pop either that may have (finally) engineered this out. Worth noting that you can get the older slims to pop less if you loosen the bottom screws a half/whole turn on each.
Yup the Xillia model was originally the first time we saw a 3001-A, the changes are not very noticeable in the pics they showed but you can see it has the indented SONY logo on the left side. Now that I think about it because the newer units removed more lights and the silver/clear accent piece around the buttons the console reminds me even more of the PS2. Pics incoming guys.
All I can tell you is that with both of them on for same amount of time while doing the same thing the 2501-A was louder then the 3001-A, in fact the 2501-A was all I heard when walking back into the room. I will be playing some games to test this more today, also despite a smaller fan the new unit does not get as hot to the touch.
Also worth noting that the blue LED above the disc drive eject button is no longer there, just the red/green above the power (did not notice this until now).
Agreed until I hear otherwise I do not notice any difference in the noise level on this newer unit, playing uncharted 2 now. This new unit has been on since last night and its nowhere near as hot as my previous slim nor does it seem any louder. Also still have not heard the annoying plastic pop after all this time.
Agreed about the finish, that's why I am glad they removed most of the remaining shiny plastic with this new model. Electronics get crappy looking too fast with a shiny plastic finish, also wiping said finger prints off leaves scratches which also look terrible. So which FW did it come with? 3.65
Ambient temp in the room is 79 to 80 F. Running Uncharted 2 now have been running background downloads and blu-rays. Fan noise remains un changed, is definitely not louder then the 2501-A (at least to my ears and I am putting my head right next to the system) sound is different though like I said earlier its more of a humm where the older fan was a shhh/whoosh type sound.
Also the system is a good deal cooler to the touch in the middle and rear of the console then the 2501-A I have.
has revealed that the new PS3 CHECH-3001A models come with OFW 3.65 and shared a picture of the Macronix MX29GL IC (below) confirming that this model utilizes the same pinout as previous revisions.

: Today
has spotted the new PS3 model
via the
site further confirming the previous report.
The new PlayStation 3 slim model will cut power consumption from 230W to 200W and weigh in at 2.6kg down from 3.0kg, however, it will not include PS2 compatibility.
According to
Sony is preparing a sizeable PS3 price drop soon which will coincide with Nintendo's 3DS console release in March (although
states Wedbush Securities analyst
Michael Pachter
predicts June) followed by a new hack-proof PlayStation 3 console in development.
To quote: "My source, who also told me the NGP's price will be £250 in the UK, stated Sony has been preparing a price drop in the UK for quite some time now and are finally preparing to make said price drop to around £170 when Nintendo's 3DS console releases in March.
The price drop for the slim PS3 SKUs would mean a staggering price drop from the PS3?s original price will be witnessed; with the recommended retail price being £255.30."
EverythingHQ.com (linked above) also states that Sony is reportedly developing a hack-proof PS3 SKU, to quote:
"The hack-proof SKU will be a slim PlayStation 3 model and will contain a 300GB hard drive as an incentive to purchase the hack-proof system - the price of the SKU will be £186.99, my source informs me.
The scheduled launch is unsure at this time due to Sony seeing if they can win the battle in the courts against the root of all the PS3 hacks - George Hotz.
Sony is essentially trying to get rid of all the old SKUs with these price drops - and even their own price drop incoming possibly - so it makes way for their new hack-proof model."

Because students did not have classes on Valentine's Day, the holiday came one day early for students at North Elementary School.
The 178 students in grades kindergarten through fourth had their Valentine's Day parties on Thursday, Feb. 13, with two classes in each grade going to the school's art and science room for ice cream with sprinkles and, of course, Hershey's chocolate syrup.
"It's a Valentine's treat today," said PTO volunteer Susan Clutter.
"Because there's no school tomorrow, we thought we'd celebrate Valentine's Day a little bit early," she continued. "All of the kids gave each other a card, and then they came here to the art room for a "build your own sundae" party. We've pre-scooped the ice cream. Basically, they're allowed to have sweets today to celebrate the holiday."
The students entered the room one class at a time.
The PTO volunteers had the ice cream ready for them, and each student was able to either add sprinkles and chocolate syrup or eat their ice cream plain.
The children were sent back to their classes right after getting their ice cream dishes just right, leaving sprinkles scattered on the tables.
"We had a little treat for them earlier and now they're having another treat," said PTO President Amy O'Hara.
"They're getting the ice cream and the sundaes and all the sprinkles," she continued. "All of the parents donated the sprinkles and the chocolate syrup so they get to make their own. Then they can go back to their classes and have their Valentine's Day parties with their classmates."

Plan a 14-Day Florida Road Trip
If your time in the state is limited, here's a road trip itinerary that will allow you to see some of Florida's best sights.
If your time in the state is limited, here's a road trip itinerary that will allow you to see some of Florida's best sights.
Two weeks in British Columbia allows the opportunity to travel throughout the province, including to the northern region. Plan your trip with this suggested itinerary.
There's hardly a bad stretch of road in the state of New Mexico, but these recommended scenic drives through the Land of Enchantment are outstanding.
Though officially decommissioned, Route 66 (now traced by I-40) is still alive in New Mexico in the form of neon signs and cruising culture. Hit the road, preferably in a convertible, and check out these retro sights.
This 10-day road trip includes two tried-and-true cowboy towns, a geological wonder, an outdoors mecca, four days at a working ranch, and all the beautiful and historical sights in between.
This itinerary starts your tour of Montana's magnificent northwest corner in Missoula, the hometown of author Norman Maclean and dozens of the state's literary heroes.
Ready to take a literary road trip? This week-plus driving tour takes you from the Appalachians to the ocean in the footsteps of the region's most legendary authors.
This starter guide points out some of the most noteworthy of Vermont's 106 covered bridges including the oldest bridge, the longest bridge, and the most camera-friendly.
Don't tell too many people, but Maine gets fewer leaf peepers checking out fall foliage than other New England states, so roads are less congested and getting lodging and dining reservations is easier.
Gas up the car, grab some road food and sodas, make that perfect highway mix for the stereo (pick songs that go well with long, empty views), and hit the road on one of these scenic drives around Arizona.

PITTSBURGH - DECEMBER 20: James Harrison #92 of the Pittsburgh Steelers high fives fans as he walks off the field following the game against the Green Bay Packers on December 20, 2009 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)
The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to ask veteran
linebacker James Harrison to accept a reduction in pay by reworking his
contract in order to remain with the team. If they're ultimately forced to cut
ties with Harrison, there are some in the organization that won't be happy, as
the Steelers' coaching staff wants the front office to retain the former
Defensive Player of the Year, according to Ed Bouchette of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The coaching staff is counting on Harrison and Woodley for
2013. Harrison's $6.57 million salary could be an issue as the team tries to
get under the cap, but the coaches would like him back at right outside
The Steelers are a veteran-laden team and, as such, they are up against the cap entering the offseason. Veterans such as Ben Roethlisberger
and Troy Polamalu are expected to renegotiate their contracts in order to help
the team sign others.
Harrison is also likely to be approached about such a deal,
but his agent has said that the linebacker isn't interested in taking a pay cut in 2013.
The Steelers are currently $14 million over the salary cap.
They could save $5.1 million by cutting Harrison, but they're likely to try to
reduce the hit by reworking the 35-year-old's contract first. If they're unable
to reach an agreement, more than just Pittsburgh's fans will be disappointed.

Water ban lifted in Monroe area, Ohio
TOLEDO — A water ban that had 30,000 people in the Monroe area and hundreds of thousands in Ohio scrambling for drinking water has been lifted, Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins announced Monday morning.
Monroe is connected to the Toledo water system. Detroit's 4 million-user system gets its water from Lake Huron and the Detroit River. In the face of the Toledo water crisis, Detroit officials plan to review their contamination procedures Monday, water department Deputy Director Darryl Latimer told The Detroit News. He said it was unlikely Detroit would face a problem like Toledo's.
"The system is tested every two weeks for blue-green algae," Latimer said. "We haven't seen the precursors for this type of toxin."
Toledo, Ohio's fourth-largest city, warned residents not to use city water early Saturday after tests at one treatment plant showed readings for microcystin above the standard for consumption, most likely from algae on Lake Erie. Ohio Gov. John Kasich declared a state of emergency.
Collins said six new test results came back Monday without traces of the toxin.
The mayor said carbon was added to the water at the point of intake and that chlorine was also added into the system to help clean the water. With the warning, residents told not to drink, brush their teeth or wash dishes with the water descended on truckloads of bottled water delivered from across the state.
In Southeast Michigan, authorities were operating water stations Sunday for customers affected by the toxic contamination.
Drinking the water could cause vomiting, cramps and rashes. But no serious illnesses had been reported by late Sunday. Health officials advised children and those with weak immune systems to avoid showering or bathing in the water.
Amid the emergency, discussion began to center around how to stop the pollutants fouling the lake that supplies drinking water for 11 million people. The toxins that contaminated the region's drinking water supply didn't just suddenly appear.
Water plant operators along western Lake Erie have long been worried about this very scenario as a growing number of algae blooms have turned the water into a pea soup color in recent summers, leaving behind toxins that can sicken people and kill pets. The problems on the shallowest of the five Great Lakes brought on by farm runoff and sludge from sewage treatment plants have been building for more than a decade.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released a satellite image showing a small but concentrated algae bloom centered right where Toledo draws its water supply, said Jeff Reutter, head of the Ohio Sea Grant research lab.
The bloom was much smaller than in past years and isn't expected to peak until early September. But instead of being pushed out to the middle of the lake, winds and waves drove the algae toward the shore, he said.
The amount of phosphorus going into the lake has risen every year since the mid-1990s.
Researchers largely blame the algae's resurgence on manure and chemical fertilizer from farms that wash into the lake along with sewage treatment plants. Leaky septic tanks and stormwater drains also have contributed.

Unexpected guests? Here are the dead giveaways of a dirty house. Fool even your mother-in-law by taking care of:
1. Piles of mail
Hide them in an attractive basket with a lid, or keep one kitchen drawer empty for last-minute stashing.
2. Dust bunnies and cobwebs
Look high and low in the corners of the room where you'll be entertaining. Pull down cobwebs with a broom and pick up dust bunnies with a handheld vac.
3. A messy bathroom
Toss one of those blue drop-in cleaners into the toilet tank and no one will know that your bowl's not pristine. Quickly wipe down the sink and toilet seat and swipe the mirror with glass cleaner.
4. Dishes in the sink
Quickly move them to the dishwasher. Or, if that's full and you're desperate, rinse them off and stash them in the oven. Just don't forget to take them out, or the baked-on food will be really hard to clean.
5. Full trash cans
Empty any full waste bins into whatever large-capacity can is out of sight.

BMI View:
Core Views
A weakened policy-making process in Macedonia will increasingly invite criticism from EU observers, while declining economic activity in Europe will make the benefits of stricter adherence to accession criteria less appealing. This raises uncertainty over the policy direction in Macedonia in the medium term and could derail the long-standing convergence process.
Economic growth in Macedonia will continue to rise in the near future as domestic demand continues to strengthen. Nevertheless, beyond 2015, real GDP growth will gradually decelerate as the impact of weaker external demand on exports and fixed investment catches up with an otherwise robust economic recovery.
As regional economic weakness is beginning to take its toll on an otherwise resilient German economy, so the outlook for Macedonia's trade account will continue to...

BMI View : The Macedonian market is relatively mature, although it continues to suffer from some structural and macroeconomic weaknesses that continue to hamper its prospects. The fixed-line market is slowly contracting as mobile and IP substitution take hold. Although cable TV operators threaten the incumbent, individually they lack strength owing to a localised focus. With regards to mobile, high prices and consumers' preference for low-cost prepaid services have long weighed on 3G adoption, although this is beginning to change and bodes well for the three mobile operators' purchase of 4G LTE licences in July 2013. The mobile VAS and content market is under-developed, giving consumers little incentive to...

I worked at LCG
ProsNice people, office, and if you are at the HQ bldg- you get free fruit, drinks, and other perks. The building is secure which is a plus if you work later hours.
ConsCorporate culture hard to break into the clique. Lack of dedicated, qualified tester for their in-house software development efforts lead me to believe that the client is not getting top quality products. Even though client sites are only a few miles from the HQ, the little perks are not available such as fruit, drinks, etc. --sort of makes you feel you aren't really part of the company.
Advice to ManagementAdviceDeliver some of your HQ perks to workers forced to be at client sites, often a fruit basket and some free soft drinks and a visit by management once in a while would go a long way towards making sure everyone feels they are part of the company.

I have been known to wear a beret. If you're not wearing a helmet, it's very well suited for cycling. And you should see the old folks in France. They really do strap baguettes to their bikes. They don't use any wrappers, so the bread picks up road grime, and I guess they eat it anyway. And when you see the French carrying a baguette, there is always an end broken off. They just can't resist. And you couldn't, either.

hercules late 50's? - $75 (frenchtown nj)
Date: 2010-11-06, 8:45PM EDT
Reply to: firstname.lastname@example.com [Errors when replying to ads?]
This is a Hercules bike made in england in the fifties i think. The hercules cycle company produced bikes from 1906 or so until 1963 when it was absorbed by Raleigh. It is a dark green with white accents and a big round red reflector on the back it is an old bike but everything is working and the tires hold air. It is a three speed with internal hub shift. The chain guard is a little wavy the spring seat cover could use a new cover and overall it is antique. You should buy it and ride it around with a loaf of french bread and a beret on.

What's wrong with that, though? I mean, it's 60's or 70's, but other than that... I don't see anything wrong with the ad. A little goofy, but that's always good on CL.
That would clean up very nicely.

or a *** & a pint
Hey!!! Why did it censor the Brits word for a smoke?
Big Brother must be watching!
Because the Brit word for smoke is the American put-down for gay men, I would think. But yeah, I can't see them riding around drinking the pint, but with the cigarette dangling from their lips WHILE riding a 50lb bike up hill in the rain, after consuming seven pints and a couple shots down at the local? Yes. My British friends all smoke like chimneys, and yet manage to do these amazing feats of strength while looking like they are doing nothing at all. It's bizarre.
My best friend married a Brit and lives in London. He is chubby and smokes all the time and collect vintage motorbikes to ride to work at a snail's pace in London traffic. Yet both of them can out-walk me anytime, and I have a great deal of walking stamina.
Can I ride it wearing a tweed jacket and smoking a calabash? With a steak and kidney pie in a sack depending from the handlebar?
I know, it's just bothersome. One of my boys was sent home for school one day becasue he was wearing a T-Shirt from one of favorite bands Cocksparrer. "bad word" At the meeting with the school he asked if it was ok to wear aBecause the Brit word for smoke is the American put-down for gay men, I would think.
Carolina Game Cocks T-shirt since they were an accedidited school and all.....red faces all around. He eventually won his case but the entire thing was a bit on the silly side.
Big Brother are you listening????
folks are very sensitive about these things , and from what I've heard senses of humo(u)r are at an all time scarcity in Schools. My former High School in little tiny Sparta, NJ now has a "school cop" who is permanently assigned to the school you rode through my town Andrew....can you honestly picture a need for that?? Its nice to hear your boy knows who The Man is and that he needs to be messed with.
rant off.
I'd take that bike for 50...Id do 75 if it was my size.
And I'd just ride around with Guinness in the Water Bottles.
--Don't Panic.
I don't think the seller is saying that you'll become british--or even french-- when you buy his bike. I think "Nick", a fellow Jersey guy, is speculating as to what sort of person might buy this bike. He knows it's a brit bike, he knows a tiny bit about the history of the marque, and i'd assume he knows where berets and baguettes come from, as he got the spelling right. He's just makign assumptions (funny ones, imho) about his target customers.
School cops. Yep, my kids' high school has 'em. Yep, this a big school in a big suburb next to Detroit. As for the ad -- you know, I've always wanted to ride around on an English bike with the English accoutrements. I just don't own one my size yet.

- He has served as the club's spokesperson for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, hosting Make-A-Wish children for batting practice, a pregame ceremony and a ballgame each home stand. Through his Klesko's Korner program, he has regularly provided Padres tickets to children and families facing cancer for the last four years, and he has also been a leading supporter of the Padres Scholars program.
- ESPN reporter Pedro Gomez reported on November 16, 2007, Klesko and teammate Barry Bonds were hunting together in Colorado at the time Bonds was notified he was indicted by a federal grand jury in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.

Hello, I've just taken a look at the RMI tutorial, to be found at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/rmi/index.html. One of the statements made for remote methods is that both the argument types and the return type MUST BE SERIALIZABLE. However, when explaining the design of their remote interface, it becomes clear that the return type of the executeTask(Task t) method is an Object, which does NOT implement the Serializable interface!!! Can anyone explain this to me? Many thanks and kind regards, David.
