Movie Review: Seven Years in Tibet

MOVIE TRAILER

DIRECTOR:

STARRING: Brad Pitt

Rating: 8.8/10

You will learn a lot from watching this movie. The first thing that I have learned is that Tibet was a country and it is also the Highest country in the world, It was the most isolated country in the world because it was so high. It is also the place of the Dalai Llama. Before I just heard of the Dalai Llama it seems like he was a famous person because I always sees' his name when you type any positive thoughts topic. 

Watching this movie will feel like getting on a time machine and see what life is 50-60 years ago especially in Tibet. In Tibet they only knew a few bad things to say and do to the other people. It seems like if people doesn't know any bad word or thoughts they will not do it to the other people around them. Evil thoughts cultivate evil doings.  There was one scene that shook me when Brad Pitt was ordered to build a Movie house for the Tibetans but the workers were halted because they don't want to kill the worms in the ground. He was in shock and told it to the Dalai Llama. He states that they won't be able to finish the project on time if they keep on protecting the worms. All the Dalai Llama can say is, " Do something about it. because people here thinks that the worms are their mother in their past life so they don't want to kill it." That is how kind the people in Tibet. They just don't want to hurt anybody or anyone. It was also the cause of their downfall. 

Their story reminded me of the history of my country here in the Philippines. We were conquered by a lot of different countries. Before I used to think that instead of being an independent country we should let USA influence and govern our country but as I grew older I started to love my country and I would like to preserve it culture. Different countries should not be conquered by foreigner just like in Tibet no matter how powerful you are, you cannot change its ways. You can influence them but you can never erase their true nature.
