Wissenswertes
Jetsun Pema is the real-life sister of The Dalai Lama. In this film she plays the mother of The Dalai Lama and hence her own mother.

Patzer
The movie depicts the Dalai Lama's enthronement occurring after Germany surrenders in WWII, and after China invades Tibet. The actual Enthronement Ceremony took place on 22 February 1940, (Iron-Dragon Year, 1st month, 14th day), long before the end of the war and the Chinese invasion. On 17 November 1950 the Dalai Lama assumed full temporal (political) power over Tibet, more then 10 years after his Enthronement Ceremony.

Zitate
Dalai Lama: We have a saying in Tibet: If a problem can be solved there is no use worrying about it. If it can't be solved, worrying will do no good.

Crazy Credits
As the end credits roll, a view of the mountains of Tibet is seen.

9/10

Cinematography is absolutely brilliant

This movie has some of the best cinematography I have ever seen. The movie does a great job of showing the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple in Lhasa as well as the rural villages of Tibet. Not to mention the breath taking views of the Himalayas.

Yes, Brad Pitt's accent wasn't exactly his best but it's forgivable when watching the movie. His acting was superb, portraying Heinrich's transition, which is what the movie is all about.

The movie did lack qualities of the book, the ending was totally wrong and somewhat disappointing. And the whole Nazi part in Austria was completely unnecessary.

Besides a few minor details, the movie is well worth the 2 1/2 hours especially if you are interested in the Chinese seizure of Tibet and the Tibetan culture and people.

(Free Tibet!)
