Seems like an epic esoteric..

Rating: Null/10 (21 July 2009)

I first watched this movie 4 years when i was 18 probably..I absolutely disparaged it at that time,even made fun of it while i was watching it thus irritating the friend who brought this movie.. ..partly because i watched it without subtitles and had difficulty in understanding the dialogues.and hence the plot..partly because i was a different person then..But i sure am a different person now coz i recently watched this movie a few days ago and a liked it so much that i watched it almost five times in a week..and i like myself more now to know that now i like this movie,in fact i love it..There is nothing wrong in this movie,obviously there are some goofs which you can only find out about on this site,but leaving them aside,the movie is amazing..i can say that the movie is an esoterica given the rating,that absolutely belies the magnificence of this movie..I felt sorry when i found out that it is only 6.7 but then i think that the movie was never intended for that purpose..this movie is only for wanderers and spiritualists and that is way Jean-Jacques Annaud intended it..someone who's looking for entertainment or inspiration or something else would find the movie rather dull..The movie is just about the journey of two mountain climbers who are forced to make their way into tibet,forming an unlikely friendship on the way,only to find out that they would rather be there than in their own country..And how one of them forms an even more unlikely friendship with the spiritual leader of Tibet..You grow as the characters grow in the movie..Brad Pitt is at his amazingly best,I like him a lot more after this movie..and David thewlis,I cannot think of a man who would have been as much befitting for the role as this superbly talented actor..I hope he gets more accolades for his work in the future..the music of the movie is amazing as is the screenplay and they make you feel as if you are in Tibet only..I had never known that Tibet is so beautiful and now i make it a point that I will definitely go make a visit once in my life..Go ahead and watch this movie for a purifying experience..If you don't like it,then try to give it a see after every four years..may be you will lucky enough realize the beauty of it as I did..
