i watched this fantastic movie this weekend! WOW.......spectacular scenery, fascinating story, and supreme moosiq by philip glass! anyone else seen this movie? i enjoy learning about the different religions out there, especially something so foreign (at least to me) like buddhism. i read the last book by the dalia lama, such a wise man, and i was lucky enough to see him speak in my fair town a few years ago. such wisdom! |
||||||||

|
|
also.......the tibetian clothing is sooooo beautiful, colourful and detailed......i've read about it before......it's some of the most beautiful clothing of any country IMO! |

tibet is certainly an interesting naation. i didn't know kundun has glasses music, i think the dvd is in our library and i will go pick it up today. i made a long essay/study on tibet just a while ago.. the dalai lama truly is a wise and great man.. everyone not knowing anything about tibet should search for his 'introduction to tibet', beautiful. |

dalai lama is definitely a very nice and wise person...i read his book 2 times - its very simple but to the point... also i have kundun on divx...havent been bothered to watch it yet...i'll definitely watch it some time soon tho...i saw 7 years in tibet not so long ago - this one's probably much different but i found it very pleasent |

i have a book by the dali lama, and numerous other books on buddhism from sooo long ago. i really wish i kept learning about it and reading. i used to be into it so much. i wanted to learn all i could about tibet and buddhism. but i lost interest, and now i have no time to read thoes books that often anymore :( |

GREAT! idea let me know what you think of the film and the music.....scorsese said he could not imagine the film without glass' music......it's POWERFUL! |
||||||||

d00d it's absolutely NUTTIN' like 7 years in tibet (hollywood brad pitt crap) and i like brad pitt. this is about the Dalai Lama, it's his life story basically.....and that dude from 7 yrs in Tibet doesn't figure into this film at all. WATCH it soon, you'll it's really good! =0) |

great man great religion great movie great music *puts on the Kundun Soundtrack* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes yes. Beautiful movie, beautiful music. I love the kinds of movies that can teach something about other cultures, and do it well. |
||||||||

eggactly ......WELL put! i was talking to some co-workers about this movie and explaining it just took the whole wonderment out of it, i told them finally if they wanna LEARN something new about Tibet, the Dalai Lama, and China........and to hear KISS ARSE moosiq to RENT it......i'm gonna look for the DVD later this week......t hee |
||||||||
|

Kiss Arse sounds like it has a negative conotation... |

Apparently there was some difficulty surrounding the making of the film. Disney financed it but were worried about the all-important market in China. They were worried they'd be shooting themselves in the foot. I support the Tibetans right to self-determination. But I've never understood what is so great about the Dalai Lama. He's feted by Hollywood and LA-types but none of them would get their hands dirty and speaking out openly about China. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, if that about the chinese market is true...how truthful is it then!? about the hollywood-i dont think dalai lama is overly concerned with it...its just easier to be noticed and to inform what's been going on in tibet that way |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, jonesy, read his works and you will see |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, I was having a go at the Hollywood types who kiss his arse, not him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it helps their popularity as well :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yeah, phoneys. |
||||||||

i DO not like the hollywood connection AT ALL......i mean richard gere having access to such an important figurehead, not just in Tibet, but to buddhists everywhere.....not to mention a kind and WISE man. it makes me kinda sick..... and i really believe that people don't know very much about CHINA as a whole, so they don't get involved. i mean the human rights that get stomped on over there is appalling......and as evidenced by the whole SARS thing.....their own government LIES to them! =/ |
||||||||

i was quite surprised when i asked some chinese about tibet - i didnt get much of an answer...im not sure but i think tibet is a forbidden topic in china |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I doubt their government lies to them anymore than ours P. |

i just watched kundun...its not a film to my likings really...too many stereotypes, which i really hate to see (same thing i hated "pianist" for), and this story was repeated in a whole bunch of movies...spectacular scenery is the best thing about the movie for me... i liked 7 years in tibet more - mostly because dalai lama is presented in a much better way... i would prefer if kundun would be a movie that would present us a certain period out of dalai lamas life and show him as a person instead of trying to give us an idea of what's been happening in tibet (which is shown like some kind of fairy-tale in this movie)... hehe, im hard to satisfy... |
||||||||

|
|
yeah 7 years in tibet, saw it in the theaters, definitely was my first date. seventh grade. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*strangles you* you prefer hollywood ROT to scorsese?? aiaiiaiaiaii......i know movie viewing is HIGHLY subjective......so i'll let you slide. =0) but this movie.....IMO leaves 7 years in tibet....wandering lost in the himalayan mountians......hehehehehhe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Haven't watched 7 Years yet, though I have it. And your post probably just delayed its viewing at least another few months :D Speaking of Scorsese, I still haven't seen The Last Temptation of Christ either. I heard it wasn't that great, but I have a feeling I'd like it. *can't wait for The Passion* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
last temptation is dope! but it's hit or miss with people. (woah did your avatar blink?! cool!) i really enjoyed 7 years in tibet when i saw it actually, but i must agree, it has nothing on kundun (leave you bitches undone) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Heh.. goes out of focus.. I'll have to bump Last Temptation up to the top of my list of movies to see. Along with 1984...another one I must see soon! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
w00t! Last Temptation of Christ... still haven't seen this, even though the soundtrack is my fav album! I've looked for it here, but I guess seeing as it's been banned from blockbuster I don't expect to find it in any video store... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and from what I've HEARD about the movie, it doesn't seem that offensive... all you have to do is use your head and think a bit about it... but I guess that's too much to ask from most people... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good soundtrack, eh? I'll have to look into that. I like soundtracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AMAZING soundtrack... seriously, it's like the best music I've heard... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
banned from blockbuster? that's outrageous. are you sure it's not a case of just your local blockbuster not having it? you may want to order the dvd, it has extensive footage of peter gabriel (interview and in the studio) and it really is a great movie |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, its not something im proud of... if i had to watch one of these two films again, i would definitely pick 7 years in tibet so there :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BRAT! Doz....make sure and see Last Temptation......WOW.....is what i have to say about the movie......AND the soundtrack that is some kinda wonderful!!! psssst......follow-up with KUNDUN tho....don't listen to tolstoyed...hehehhe.....shhhhhh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Last Temptation of Christ" by scorsese? (i'll get it) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
check it DOOD! ^__^ |

How was Willem Defoe's performance? I bet it could be really good. I hope it was. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pretty sure that I read somewhere that it was banned in all blockbusters... I know that I haven't seen it anywhere here, and there are numerous blockbusters... but I'm pretty sure I did read that somewhere... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
omg i hated last temptation |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
willem's preformance was perfection. it was interesting seeing all those OTHER's in it as well. some worked better than others i felt. anyway it was an interesting premise, and as a christian i didn't feel like it was this huge sacrilegious thing... but i don't take movies as seriously as some folk. |
