Touching story of an unhappy and lonely man who finally finds peace within himself.

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 1998)

This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. The portrayal of Heinrich Harrar by Brad Pitt was very well done. I was touched from the beginning when Heinrich was beginning his ascent up the mountain. He was such a lonely man, someone who was not at peace with himself and could not love anyone. He was a very self-absorbed individual who needed those years in Tibet to become a human being, one who cared for others as well as himself. Definitely a movie I will watch again.
