Okay, last take, say 'Himalayas'.

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2017)

Seven years in Tibet throws one mans Non secular ambitions and achievements against a culture that sees no use for them. Set in an intriguing snippet of Tibet's history, World War 2 halts our main character at every turn (played by Brad Pitt). Heinrich Harrer's goals slowly change as he begins to discover more about himself and mellow from an unwelcome, rather bullish foreigner, to a man of local respect. against the stunning backdrop of the Incredible Himalayas, the scenery really puts you straight into a world of religious seclusion and peace. With many twists and turns, the story of Seven years in Tibet keeps you glued in as an epic adventure, that rightly required a film, unfolds before you.
Occasionally the mystique of the film is somewhat broken by Brad Pitt's unusual attempt at a Austrian accent, and I feel at a run time of over 2 hours, in sections it feels like it can drag. However I can forgive that of a film that documents 7 years of a very patient, very lost man.
Seven years in Tibet enamors with a fascinating culture, gets you lost in spectacular landscapes, and weaves you in to an excellent story. It is a film I will not readily forget for it's character development, periods of tension and story and is certainly well worth a watch.
