Kundun
EUA, 1997- Historical Drama.
Director: Martin Scorsese.
|
Stunning, odd, glorious, calm and
sensationally absorbing, director Martin Scorsese's "Kundun" is a
remarkable piece of work with vital colors and a wrenching message. |
|
That said, it may not be for everybody. The
film's subject -- the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan struggle -- runs counter
to the increasingly narrow focus of the American moviegoing public, which
puts "Kundun" at risk of being categorized as a novelty. |

|
The movie is the visually detailed
biographical story of the 14th Dalai Lama, spiritual and political leader
of Tibet, from his early childhood to his forced exile in 1959 at age 24. |
"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from
your own actions."
"If you want others to be happy, practice
compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion."
Dalai Lama |
