Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

tomhart_53 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.

Kirpianuscus not only for the story itself. or for impressive location. but for the values who defines a meeting and a friendship. that defines this beautiful film who, in each scene, preserves the mark of its great director. Brad Pitt does a more than good job and the rhythm of story is perfect to discover a metamorphose of a man looking himself. its great virtue - realistic - touching portrait of Tibet. not a manifesto, not a pledge. but a convincing puzzle about the identity, history, believes and manner to define reality of a land and its people. story to reflect, it is a seductive trip in a mysterious region.and the dose of poetry, characteristic of the films by Annaud, represents the perfect spice for become a memorable experience.

LeonLouisRicci 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.

royu2 This had the foundations to be something truly special. An Austrian mountain climber leaves a dying marriage to explore the Himalayas in British India, but with the onset of World War II is forced to flea through inhospitable terrain to Tibet where he is befriended by a doomed world leader.Fantastic, how could such a unique and complex plot go wrong? Well believe me, they found a way.10 minutes into the movie and I'd already given up on the script, it was dull from the first line and barely improved after that, no point waiting for a witty or insightful remark because it isn't coming.Then there was the editing. Seemingly important scenes are over in a heartbeat while pointless scenes are dragged out. Moments that seem like big twists are immediately and coincidently reversed just 5 seconds later, it's all a bit of a mess. The film never really flows, it limps along, takes a sudden leap, then limps again.Brad Pitt isn't too bad but the supporting cast is pretty hopeless, the acting quality would barely compete with a daytime soap opera, and the elevator music soundtrack just makes thing worse.If you like a bit of culture and funky scenery then it might be worth a look, but otherwise Seven Years in Tibet will feel like seven years in solitary confinement.
