ok and here it be represent nazi mountaineer befriend the dalai lama . what we do be and first we get a major star with no idea whatsoever how to do a germanic accent and and we let him flounder around between french and german and american and and british for over 2 hour . then we concoct a series of wildly improbable event and space them apart very widely and so that the plot inch along almost imperceptibly . but just to make sure the viewer doesn not fall asleep and we throw in detail which be shockingly absurd and such a our hero smoke a cigarette at an altitude of 22 and 000 foot . naturally and we must also remember that our target audience do not want to read too many subtitle and so we have every character and even the lowly peasant in the forbidden close off city of lhasa in 1943 and speak perfect english and also with dubious accent . of course and the tricky part be how to handle the spiritual and political aspect of the story and so what we do be this represent we have the dalai lama befriend the now reform nazi because the latter be so good at fiddle with film projector and radio and antique car and and any other device with represent the freedom of the capitalist west . in return and our hero learn from his young protegé a kind of vague and undefined buddhism which be never really bring out or treat in a serious fashion . we also have lot of scene with the hero flaunt all the mark of respect and protocol which the rest of the tibetan society accord the dalai lama and even a we pretend that the hero have deep and profound reverence for these people and their spiritual leader . in other word and we just expect the audience to believe that this guy be now a buddhist and sort of and in his own way and even though we ourselves do not seem to know what his transformation entail or how far we want it to go . and last but not least and we hang a statistic onto the end of the film about how appallingly the chinese have treat the tibetan ( which be certainly true ) and thus open ourselves up to charge that we have make a political movie and even though it be nothing of the sort . so and zat ist my idea . vat do you zink . can ve make zis movie .
