Hollywood Wastes $70 Million but Saves the Earth Worms

Rating: 6/10 (25 August 2014)

Supermodel, eh Super Actor, eh Superstar Brad Pitt was apparently Well Intention-ed in Bringing Light to the Plight of the Exiled Dalai Lama and was willing to Die His Hair and Take Off His Shirt to Enhance the Cause, and Oh Yea, even Labor a Foreign Accent.
But although the Film took Great Pains to make the Show Look Beautiful it didn't suffer too Much to bring Enlightenment and Entertainment to the Uninformed Masses.
The Movie is Flat, Despite the Snowy Peaks and Defiant Hills. The Film never Gains any Attraction beyond that of Postcards until the Movie's Star meets the Lama.
Yes, there are some Interesting Cultural Displays but a lot of it is Superficial and Boring (like the ice skating) and have Little to do with the Encroaching Chinese and Spiritual Beauty within the 14th Incarnation that is the Personified and Deified Dalai Lama, Tibet's Spiritual Leader.
The Actor Portraying the 14 Year Old Lama could have Taught Brad Pitt something about Acting. Like doing more than just Smirking and Tilting the Face and Brushing Back Long Bottled Blonde Locks.
Overall, the Ending is Rushed and should have been a Climax of Powerful Military and Political Suppression but is Over so Quickly it is almost an Afterthought.
The Film is Focused throughout on all the Wrong Things and it renders the Movie Limp and Long with more Filler than Fact, and the Result is a Noble if Failed Effort to make the Case for the Tibetan People and the Dalai Lama.
Based on a True Story but this is Hollywood Gloss Misused and does Little to Inspire Ire and bring Light to the Injustice. The Great Spiritual People of Tibet Deserve Better.
