Title: Provides lesson in Buddhism; not the one I was expecting
Review: After reading the documentary description and several rave reviews, I was anxious to watch this movie. It provides a lesson in Buddhism, but not the one I was expecting. I was expecting to hear or see actual translation of what the hermits were saying about the practice, yet there were very few lines translated. I got more wisdom from watching Kung Fu Panda with my son, than I got from this movie. To say I was dissapointed, is an understatement. I don' think I will ever watch this movie again. I purchased this film, in part, to share with friends and family who were not familiar with Buddhism. Even as an enthusiastic practitioner, I find little in this film to inspire me to want o know more about Buddhism, which is a shame. Don't waste your money, donate it to a charity like SAVA instead.
