Title: Hearbreaking & Breathtaking History Lesson... a Must See
Review: My review is simple; watch this film but know that it IS NOT your typical piece of "entertainment."Yes, as others have stated it is inordinantly beautiful visually. But that is not the only reason for watching it. We all have heard about the Dalai Lama in exile and and his wisdom and charm. But this movie is about the part of his life most Westerners know very little (if anything) about. From his testing as a toddler to decide if he was the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama and his subsequent removal from the sole care of his parents to his teenaged dealing with being both spiritual leader to and student of the the elder Bhuddist Monks and their later, but still while he was quite young, flight to safety and exile from a homeland that they are clearly deeply connected to. I found this film deeply moving and yes enlightening.
Is the review positive or negative?
