Loved it, peaceful and moving, but cruel for mainland Chinese viewers

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2019)

You can´t watch this film in mainland China. I knew it and watched it when my international friends can´t stop telling me about Tibet independence and how the communist party "intruded" Tibet. I´ve never heard of such comments when I was in China. Tibet is a province of China, full stop. I´ve never doubted it untill I moved abroad.
I don´t think the latter part of the movie is demonising the communist party. Even I know that our party don´t appreciate things that are either too spiritual or too aethestical. They like pragmatic things. Although, it pains me to see how they destroyed the temples, the paitings and their time-honored religious traditions. It pains me to know that Dalai had to scape to India, like what was said in the movie.
Ok, sentimental comments about Chinese history apart, the movie presents a very smooth story line and character transition, from a egoist loner to a wise man, still alone. The whole movie is very peaceful and aethetically enjoying.
