I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Absolutely Brilliant!

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This was a controversial film upon release and if I am not wrong its outright banned in China. It's a good film based on the real experiences of an Austrian explored and the dalai lama during some difficult period in Tibetian history(basically Chinese Occupation). Brad Pitt plays the lead character and is pretty alright. David Thewlis plays his mate. The child playing the young Dalai Lama steals the show though and the scenery of Tibet is a plus point. Great topic but an average film.

Supermodel, eh Super Actor, eh Superstar Brad Pitt was apparently Well Intention-ed in Bringing Light to the Plight of the Exiled Dalai Lama and was willing to Die His Hair and Take Off His Shirt to Enhance the Cause, and Oh Yea, even Labor a Foreign Accent.But although the Film took Great Pains to make the Show Look Beautiful it didn't suffer too Much to bring Enlightenment and Entertainment to the Uninformed Masses. The Movie is Flat, Despite the Snowy Peaks and Defiant Hills. The Film never Gains any Attraction beyond that of Postcards until the Movie's Star meets the Lama. Yes, there are some Interesting Cultural Displays but a lot of it is Superficial and Boring (like the ice skating) and have Little to do with the Encroaching Chinese and Spiritual Beauty within the 14th Incarnation that is the Personified and Deified Dalai Lama, Tibet's Spiritual Leader.The Actor Portraying the 14 Year Old Lama could have Taught Brad Pitt something about Acting. Like doing more than just Smirking and Tilting the Face and Brushing Back Long Bottled Blonde Locks. Overall, the Ending is Rushed and should have been a Climax of Powerful Military and Political Suppression but is Over so Quickly it is almost an Afterthought. The Film is Focused throughout on all the Wrong Things and it renders the Movie Limp and Long with more Filler than Fact, and the Result is a Noble if Failed Effort to make the Case for the Tibetan People and the Dalai Lama. Based on a True Story but this is Hollywood Gloss Misused and does Little to Inspire Ire and bring Light to the Injustice. The Great Spiritual People of Tibet Deserve Better.

It's 1939. Austrian Heinrich Harrer (Brad Pitt) is climbing the world's 9th highest peak Nanga Parbat in British India. The mountain has become a German Nazi obsession after previous failures have left 11 dead. He's self-assured but selfish. He leaves behind his expectant wife. Heinrich wants to attempt a summit but Peter Aufschnaiter (David Thewlis) takes the team back down. When WWII breaks out, the team is arrested and put into Dehra Dun P.O.W. Camp. His wife leaves him. Heinrick escapes with Peter. Tibet is forbidden to foreigners. Eventually he sneaks into the city of Lhasa where they meet the young Dalai Lama.This is a long movie without much drama. Lots of things happen but I don't really care about much of it. It looks beautiful. I can't really invest myself with Brad Pitt's character. Even as they starve in the mountains, I didn't get a sense of tension. It's a long beautiful fascinating story but a bland watch. I don't care about Heinrich or his relationship. The Chinese invasion has a bit of drama but it could have been so much more compelling.

First of all, I wanna say that it is not easy for a mainland Chinese to watch such movie that were strictly banned domestically. Just because the recent protest occurred in Tiananmen Square made me eager to discovering the truth behind the so-called "news". I've heard from my US colleagues that Brad Pitt has been refused to mainland China ever since his acting in this film, and I once told my US friends that the only place I wanna pay for a visit within this country is Tibet and Xinjiang, of course, both are notably "question area" with a great deal of political related conflicts. Tibet, with its beautiful scenery and culture and religious charm, has attracted a lot of people all over the world to see this heaven land, the highest plateau on earth, the closet place to reach the gods in sky. I was amazed by the stunning views in this movie, as well as the mysterious religious-based culture it showed, the ceremonies and the kindhearted people there. And it truly broke my heart when comes to the plots that the liberty troops invaded this holy place and made it as part of people's republic of China. Though without showing the audience too much bloody scenes, the moment that the communist party delegates step on the gorgeous prints the humble monks are praying for, is just like a needle stamp into my brain nerves and I trembled. Furious with such bandits to ruin others' religious belief so easily and without regret, angry about how they are acting and no wonder that so many years has passed, these group of people are just exactly the same as 60 years ago. A lot of officials nowadays are just the way like the delegates in this movie- rude, arrogant, disrespectful, no manners at all. Shame on me, oh gosh. I don't know why the paramount leaders always have this desire to control other race and expand the territory. Those people have their own culture and religious beliefs, they are totally different with Han ethnicity, from head to toe. Why bothers controlling their homeland and trying to brainwash to make everyone like an ethnicity that actually has no religious no beliefs at all? I cannot understand any single one massacre in human history, though I know the saying, every nation is built on blood and tears. And as a result of retrieve Tibet, there are Han Chinese crowd in Lhasa and as a consequence of protests that never stops in Tibetan, there are tons of liberty troops quarter in Tibet autonomous region and can put down every single "counter-revolutionary" riot by military force immediately. I know there are racial discrimination between Tibetan and Han ethnicity nationwide, Dalai lama's expelled from his people and homeland (which is a taboo topic within red China), how situation deteriorates to today is never my or a peace-loving person's wish. Apart from the politics inner depth of this movie, the loving and honesty Tibetans moved me a lot. How I wish this holy place, the reputable nearest city (Lhasa) to heaven, will never ever destroyed by anything from outside world, neither party itself nor Western civilizations. The world needs colorful cultures and races and religious beliefs, thus will leave something valuable to our offspring.
