china, the country most similar to orwell's 1984, and soon to be the most powerful. the world is in deep shit

[MrHeadingAround]

although i'm a right wing anti-government chinese,i'd like to say well,your lies are much better than communists really.

[MrBarto23]

What a wonderful movie, and what a Wonderful Culture. So sad that it disappeared from Earth. How horrible is the nature of the Human being, because is so sad that not only Comunist are unable to recognize and protect other Cultures. Especially such a Wonderful Culture like the Tibetan. They ad no right to do that. Just like the with American, didn’t had right to destroyed Native America Culture

[MrBarto23]

The most emotive scene, the Goodbye between Heinrich and the Dalai Lama. I cry like a baby when that happened. I can’t descrive why. I just cry.

[nuculearbazooka]

Aaaah look out China! It;s the evil Dali Lama! Ooooh Nnuuuuuuuu!!!! He's gonna make you smile and feel good and find peace and stuff! Declare him Enemy of the State quick!

Jack asses.

[BTLemming]

[TheRachaelShow1]

@eliasmartinezlobelle haha of course not lol

[deathpenity17]

"It sits untouched waiting on his return" that was the best line i had ever heard.

[Dal450ii]

the chinese voice is so annoying

[brucekirk89]

them touching heads is a great great hounor

[jjjankman]

i think he made the right choice in not fighting. it will better suit him in his judgement and next realm of being. i wish this movie was not in english. i dont want to hear any accents. i can read subtitles just fine and like the way other languages sound. also, i wish i had one of those big horns!

[kagoon0709]

what did he say at 1:14?

[zzinglish53]

@kagoon0709  He said: "forgive my presumption, but I've made arrangements to get you out"

[formyoula50]

I don't see why all of you feel the need to spam Youtube with your arguments and flawed political views. If you're not here to watch the movie, then you should all fuck right off. This isn't a political debate forum, in case you idiots haven't noticed.

Great movie based on an insightful book. Tibet is a beautiful land, and I hope peace will come to them soon.

[feymuz]

@formyoula50 I agree

[zzinglish53]

@formyoula50 My dear Fabulous; your fairly intolerant comment implies you might be under the illusion of owning sole commenting rights here & also carries with it the peevish tone of not getting the quid for whatever the quo was in the deal to obtain them, as there are still others on the field. Perhaps you may enlighten all us idiots in the true definition of politics within the solipsism of you; for the rest of the world it occupies the space between apparent beings.

Namaste'

[blondecat666]

@formyoula50 You are also free to read or not read what other people are free to write. Chill out Buddy.

One of the greatest gifts of travelling is learning other cultures.

[GreatGrumbledook]

There are now such excuses, Monsieur Dalai Lama! When Alexander the Great was your age he did already command campaigns and lead detachments in the battles of his father, Philip II of Macedon! Or here in did Jeanne, the Maid of Orléans, raise the siege of Orléans at the age of 17! So young age is no excuse and being regent of a realm and losing it but surviving the loss is inexcusable; but no a bad movie, maybe a bit melodramatic and corny but nice landscape...

[punk4rockorz]

The Dalai Lama has never been educated for meaning of wars.... how can you compare him to these historical persons who were brought up by it? The Dalai Lama plays yet a bigger role in other meanings I believe, not the simple thing of surviving a war he could not win.

[GreatGrumbledook]

@punk4rockorz: Nonsense! He lost his country and he may well blame faith and his advisors for turning him into a Buddhist saint instead of a warlike regent but the fact remains: He lost Tibet and no it will be assimilated into China and transformed into a Chinese province by the settlement of millions of Han-Chinese and no meditation and no prayer he can speak will chance anything! I would rather die fighting then see my country lost! He has failed, that is clearly to see...

[punk4rockorz]

Using violence is the easiest option in every conflict. I think Dalai lama took a harder but better way to defend him and his folk.

[GreatGrumbledook]

@punk4rockorz: Judged by his enormous success I would chose violence any time! Just thing of those 300 Spartans dying to defend Greece against the Persian invasion at the Thermopylae pass; their fame still lives on, while no one will remember Tibet or the Dalai Lama some 2500 years later!

[punk4rockorz]

The Dalai Lama is never being educated to use violence. He straves after peace, compassion and forgiveness. I think he still bears the hope that he can solve the problems with China political. Who cares if he's remembered or not after 2500 years. In my opinion the message and intention of the Dalai Lama far greater than those of the Spartans. His thoughts and ideas will hopefully never been forgotten.

[GreatGrumbledook]

@punk4rockorz: You are quite an undying optimist are you? With the growing power of China one will very rarely see him in the mass media in a couple of years ago and once he is out of the mass media, you can count until he is swallowed up by total oblivion within weeks maybe months if he is lucky. Anyway: How do you think a political settlement should be concluded? China has the land and the power, while he has nothing than his smile and media attention...

[sahajad]

Oh come on every one ! Dalai Lama has been brought up to settle everything by using peaceful methods !

Let us hope and prey that he would acheive this when China comes to its senses.

Until then please do not be little him by comparing him to the other world conquereors, because he follows a different path !

[GreatGrumbledook]

@sahajad: Please use your brain: Water will be in the future more precious than oil (at least to the Third World countries) and so China is well aware in occupying Tibet as the prime water source of Asia; if the reports are true there are now serious border tensions with India, which could even lead to another war between the two countries; so there is no hope China would even fight a major war for Tibet and therefore will not yield.

[zzinglish53]

@GreatGrumbledook May understanding increase that our human history of warfare and conquest must yield to peaceful means of dispute resolution if there's to be a future for this planet. Tibet is a lifeboat on what may be the sinking ship of Earth, and its no coincidence that the groups most responsible for harmful environmental change understand it least. There's probably no fresher air or purpose anywhere than the geographically protected enclave of Tibet, which exists for us all.

Namaste'

[GreatGrumbledook]

@zzinglish53: That shall never be! And in order to counter this nonsense I will invoke Oswald Spengler against it straight away:

"Politics is the highest and most powerful dimension of all historical existence. World history is the history of states; the history of states is the history of wars. Ideas, when they press for decisions, assume the form of political units: countries, peoples, or parties. They must be fought over not with words but with weapons. ...

[GreatGrumbledook]

... Economic warfare becomes military warfare between countries or within countries. Religious associations such as Jewry and Mohammedanism, Huguenots and Mormons, constitute themselves as countries when it becomes a matter of their continued existence or their success. Everything that proceeds from the innermost soul to become flesh or fleshly creation demands a sacrifice of flesh in return. Ideas that have become blood demand blood. ...

[GreatGrumbledook]

... War is the eternal pattern of higher human existence, and countries exist for war’s sake; they are signs of readiness for war. And even if a tired and blood-drained humanity desired to do away with war, like the citizens of the Classical world during its final centuries, like the Indians and Chinese of today, it would merely exchange its role of war-wager for that of the object about and with which others would wage war. ...

[GreatGrumbledook]

... Even if a Faustian universal harmony could be attained, masterful types on the order of late Roman, late Chinese, or late Egyptian Caesars would battle each other for this Empire—for the possession of it, if its final form were capitalistic; or for the highest rank in it, if it should become socialistic."

And Oswald Spengler is indeed my other self, my counsel's consistory, my oracle, my prophet and I, like a child, will go by his direction.

[zzinglish53]

@GreatGrumbledook So nuclear cut&paste weapons enable you to rule out "That" forever via Oscar's authority; as countries are merely means for warfare worth worshipping the point is lost on you both as population reduction for profit continues like the anti evolutionary rotation of the swastika,(ideas must be fought over with weapons) while Tibet's message rotates opposite. Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius a target no one else can see - Shopenhauer

True war is within.

Namaste'

[GreatGrumbledook]

@zzinglish53: By all the Gods Romans bow before! Ever since I have seen the Mahabharata by Peter Brook I cannot endure to hear any talk of this the true war is within nonsense! Do you think such follies can dazzle anyone who has read the Iliad even once? And leave Monsieur Schopenhauer out of this: As he was in fact no pessimist; besides the time of money is over and therefore this nonsense about profit no longer a reality; and for your foul slanders against fair war I will invoke Heraclitus:

[GreatGrumbledook]

"War is both father and king of all, some he has shown forth as gods and others as men, some he has made slaves and others free."

[zzinglish53]

@GreatGrumbledook My dear Grumble I bet the farm & won you'd invoke someone from your stable of aids to help with labeling; my intent was not to dazzle, but comment. If you'd left out Oscar & his nervous breakdown I'd not cite Schopenhauer. Clearly you would see it folly to look within, as sifting endless imported layers would exhaust. Organized murder is fairly slander proof. I'm pleased France is back to the barter system. Fair war? as in China vs. Tibet?? Profit not a reality? Where are you?

[zzinglish53]

Hopefully technology has made material war unthinkable and obsolete, tho some still regard it & politics as glorious-they serve best by fading away, as politicians, like diapers in needing changing regularly & for the same reasons, stage a scheme to maintain freedom's illusion. War that remains is internal for all; that is the message of the Bhagavad Gita; the battle of Kurukshetra is an inquiry into self - questioning suffering and the nature of life, death and the Absolute. Free Tibet

3~

[GreatGrumbledook]

@zzinglish53: I never heard anything about Oswald Spengler having any trouble with his nerves, though it is said that he was pretty angry to be unable to go to the Great War, due to some health problem, but he used his time pretty well with writing the first part of his book; while there is no such thing as organized murder, I have heard of organized crime but not murder; while France still employs the modern folly of having worthless paper money; and no one said that wars are fair.

[GreatGrumbledook]

@zzinglish53: Free Tibet? I want to see that: It would be a divine comedy indeed if such foul peace mongers and non violence preachers attempt to out clever the Chinese with the stupidities of Gandhi (though it will not be as funny as it would have been if Gandhi himself would have to cope with the Japanese in India as the successors of the English)! And China seeks no profit in Tibet but raw materials and above all water; and Tibet is turned right now more and more into a Chinese province.

[windshinelee]

the portrait of Chair Mao in this movie was 100% wrong; the direct simply copied the one hung over the gate of Tian'anmen square. What a shit movie.

[MrKenTee1]

so what? CHINA invaded TIbet.. thats the point

[jazgirl51]

agreed

[mullahnasruddinQQ]

My deep respect for the Dalai Lama who had to face the imperialistic aggression at such an early age.

May peace and his way of live prevail.
