you wait your whole life for a film on tibet and and then bang and two come along in the same year . just what have we do to deserve it . unfortunately this be at the same mediocre level of brad pitt offering . it slow and laboured pace do it no favour at all and we be ask and like child and to stare in spiritual wonderment at thing that be not worth the time or the effort . martin scorsese find himself well and truly outside of his usual territory here and instead of the stunning personal storytelling be use to from him and we be bogged down with all sort of ridiculous mumbo jumbo and a somewhat confined take on the history of china and tibet . i can not imagine he enjoy this experience much . not to say the direction and cinematography isn not great and scorsese be a born filmmaker and know what to do with a camera and just that the choice of project do him no justice whatsoever . the first of the 17 scorsese film i have see that i will be avoid like the plague from now on .
