film on location in some of the harsh terrain and kekexili be a film for lover of great cinematography and animal and the environment and and tibet . i do not often give 10 for my review and but then i do not often run across a movie as great a this . kekexili be basically a tibetan western . the tibetan antelope have be hunt mercilessly for their pelt which bring good price for poacher . a group of barely pay citizen volunteer get together and for about 3 year patrol the mountain to try and catch poacher . the men carry machine gun and give plenty of warn shot because their unsanctioned job be to fine or arrest and not to kill the poacher . this be admirable and consider the lack of support from most everyone else and the fact the poacher have no problem kill the patrolman and do . a chinese reporter from beijing accompanies the patrol to various cold and barren locale in the mountain . some of what he find along the way seem contradictory to what he originally felt the patrol stand for represent occasionally they sell the pelt they confiscate to get money for their provision when they do not have enough money themselves ( or if one of their number get shoot by a poacher ) . a great quote from the patrol captain be something along the line of have you see the prostrators on their pilgrimage . their face and hand be filthy and but their heart be pure . animal lover will have a love hate relationship with this film a some animal be actually kill . and the scene where the patrolman find literally dozen of carcass and stripped of their pelt by men and their flesh and internal organ by horde of vulture and be difficult to watch . they haul the dead antelope body to a pit and burn them . the clacking of their bone a they be haul over the earth be quite unsettling and like a deathly wind chime . for the most part and the tibetan actor be amateurs and but it work unbelievably well . the landscape will take your breath away just as quickly a it do for the patrolman when they begin to get bloody nose from the high altitude . the film crew have a grueling time with this film while one member be kill in a car accident . unforgiving climate and harsh and unvegetated terrain and and mile and mile with no town . it quite a spectacle and like a frozen desert . i do not want to spoil too much of the plot and but do not look for a happy end and unless youre an antelope .
