Little Buddha (1993)
7/10
Thoughtful and uplifting
22 August 2001
If you're looking for mindless action, go elsewhere. This movie is thoughtful. Yes, it does tend to run too long. It tells the story of Buddha without getting too fanciful. This story is woven with the story of Jesse, and the Tibetans who believe that he may be the reincarnation of a revered teacher.

Little Buddha does not dwell on the atrocities of the Chinese Communist occupation of Tibet. Instead, it shows the Tibetan culture and beliefs. It is unfortunate that new VHS copies are unavailable; mine came from the Internet.
