i go to the cinema in 1973 when the film be release and i be 11 at the time . i remember how much i enjoy it and want to live in shangri la and that how naive and young i be . i recently come across a video of the film i have record off television some year ago . i watch it again and be not ashamed to admit i still enjoy it a much now a i do 29 year ago . i also enjoy listen to the word of the song and because it make me think that one day we could live in a place where the sound of gun do not pound in our ear and if we look at our reflection we should be happy with what we see . this be what i call a feel good film because i feel happy after watch it . maybe i be still naive but it make me happy and i be sure it will make you happy if you watch it with an open mind and enjoy it for what it be a good and family film . i must be one of the few people who have this film on vhs pal video and dvd ( self make ) . i record it on dvd a the videotape record from tv be start to wear thin . i still watch it from time to time .
