Review of The Buddha (2010) by Anastasia B — 11 May 2011
A wonderful re-telling of the classical tale of the life of Buddha, that focuses on why his life and his teachings resonate, today, to any ordinary person. The interviews taken, from Dalai Lama himself, to artists, poets and monks, are a revelation.
The simplicity of Buddha's concepts is striking, and whenever the meaning tends to be elusive, there is always a smart remark that will bring us back to the actual insight. Music, animation, narration, are all combined to support the vibrant content.
Aesthetically the animated part maybe not the best of choices, but it at least it works! I recommend this movie not only to first-timers, but also any practitioner who needs to be reminded of the Dharma.
