Seven Years In Tibet (1997)

Seven years in Tibet based on the true story of an Austrian mountaineer, Harrer, who went to climb the Himalayas but failed and been caught by the English military. He at last could escaped and ran away across the mountain to Tibet territory where he met and began intimately close to Dalai-Lama.

This movie obviously makes me get to know Tibet and Dalai-Lama better. The very beautiful mountainscape, the spiritual buddhism believe of tibetans and the simple living made me fall in love with this country. Moreover, the movie shows the honorableness and cleverness of Dalai-Lama, which in the movie only about 12 years old.In the movie, the moments when Harrer and Dalai-Lama are together and having a conversation about the question of everything outside Tibet is the most memorable scene of the movie. It's a friendly informal conversation between two diferrent traditional structure people.

Anyway, in my opinion, Seven years in Tibet is not one of the perfect real-life movie, but the deep value of the understanding Buddhism in Tibet is worth to see, in addition, of course, the faithful Dalai-Lama.
