	Seven Years In Tibet
		Rooted in the gentle and tranquil culture of Tibet, he is one of the most peaceful people alive, exemplifying Zen with his thoughtful and totally non-violent attempts to rule and free his threatened country to this date.
		A few years ago, Williams seems to have taken a new route with his compositions and orchestrations, and it seems that he is going for less leitmotif-carried scores with a certain “hook”, instead taking an approach that creates more of a tapestry of music that blends with the images.
		“Seven Years In Tibet” is a soaring adventure, and while it is disappointing that the film doesn’t really cover Tibet’s political history and implications, it reminds us once again of the merciless intrusion and oppression of communist China into foreign territories Vietnam and Hong Kong being other examples of recent times.

		Their stay is longer than either could have expected (the "seven years" of the title), and their lives are forever transformed by their proximity to the Tibetan leader and the peaceful ways of the Buddhist people.
		The sadness and anger inducing message of Seven Years in Tibet is the slaughter of millions of Tibetan Buddhist monks and the destruction of over 600 sacred monasteries by the invading Chinese.
		Seven Years in Tibet is not a fast-paced film, but one to look at and absorb, savour its beautiful photography and ponder the many messages it communicates.

		Their stay is longer than either could have expected (the "seven years" of the title), and their lives are forever transformed by their proximity to the Tibetan leader and the peaceful ways of the Buddhist people.
		Seven Years in Tibet is a non-fiction book by Heinrich Harrer, originally published in 1954.

	Folio Books: Review of Seven Years in Tibet by Heinrich Harrer (Putnam)
		The title of the book is an accurate summary of its contents: Harrer's account of the seven years he spent living in the remote and then little-known country of Tibet after escaping from a British internment camp in India in 1943.
		But it is possible that, whatever his previous opinions may have been, the years he spent living among the Tibetan people, observing their Buddhist way of life, and growing to know them and respect them, removed from his character any blemish of fascist feeling.
		Perhaps Seven Years in Tibet can therefore be read not only for its intriguing description and understanding of a now almost lost civilisation, but also as an account of the power of human sympathy to change an individual for the better.

		Invaded by China in 1949-50, the independent country of Tibet was forced to face the direct loss of life that comes from battles and, soon after, the loss of universal freedoms that stemmed from Communist ideology and its programs such as the Cultural Revolution (1967 - 1976).
		Tibet's education system, controlled entirely by the Chinese and their Communist ideology, is directed to the Chinese immigrants and compromises Tibetans.
		Seven of China's 15 key minerals are expected to run out within a decade and consequently the extraction of minerals in Tibet is increasing in a rapid and unregulated manner.

	CNN - If nothing else, see 'Seven Years' for the scenery - October 28, 1997
		A sizable chunk of "Seven Years in Tibet" is about trying to climb across those gorgeous peaks, and this, oddly enough, is the portion of the film that contains the most spiritual resonance.
		His physical being takes a major journey in "Seven Years in Tibet," but his spirit never seems to be seated anywhere but at the head table at Spago.
		"Seven Years in Tibet" really wants to be, and should be, about the people who were living a peaceful, centered existence before Pitt's character ever showed up, but that's very risky territory in the high stakes poker game that is modern American filmmaking.

	DVDCC.COM: Seven Years In Tibet (superbit) DVD REVIEW
		Seven Years in Tibet is a good film, yet it is fatally flawed by Hollywood tendencies.
		One would think, with the title “Seven Years in Tibet”, that at least the majority of the film would revolve around said years…yet this is not the case, rather the film acts independently for half of its runtime before actually getting into a meaningful story.
		Seven Years in Tibet has numerous scenic and environmental shots just overflowing in detail and they are all represented here perfectly.

	Blu-ray Review: Seven Years in Tibet \| High-Def Digest
		This dispute is based on each nation's varying accounts of history, their separate claims to Tibet as a nation, and wildly different perspectives on the legitimacy of Tibet's liberation.
		Instead, 'Seven Years in Tibet' is significant because it has the allure of a Hollywood production, but the tone and value of a historical documentary.
		Years disappear in a matter of moments in order to provide room for the relationship between Heinrich and the Dalai Lama -- I personally would've preferred a three hour film that spent more time with Heinrich and Peter before they encounter the Dalai Lama.

		While Brad Pitt ("Legends of the Fall," "Seven") is certainly a charismatic and versatile actor (and received an Oscar nomination for his work in "Twelve Monkeys"), some might scoff at the idea of a matinee heartthrob starring in such a film.
		The Chinese takeover of Tibet also falls into the bad attitude category and is a source, along with the history of this country, for discussion with kids.

	Salon \| "Seven Years in Tibet"
		The good news about "Seven Years in Tibet" is that Pitt actually does, for the most part, hold his own against the grand sunlit vistas that Annaud continually throws up behind him.
		"Seven Years in Tibet" is split neatly into two halves -- halves you're tempted to label "Mountain Brad" and "Golden Brad." In the first, Pitt scowls and stomps around as if he's been taking asshole lessons from Oasis' Liam Gallagher.
		The best parts of "Seven Years in Tibet," however, arrive after the climbing scenes and the dank, rainy footage of the men nobly suffering in the British POW camp.

		But behind all that is the story about Tibet itself, a country that is facing extinction at the hands of the Chinese communists and it's a juncture in its history when our traditional way of life, our spiritual way of life crashes with the modern world.
		Much of this is because Tibet was very remote, inaccessible, and there were all these fantastic stories about magic and mystery in Tibet.
		But I think we are in a different world and the issues that Tibet raises are important issues and people are increasingly becoming aware of that such as environment and human rights.

	Seven Years in Tibet (1997): Reviews
		Seven Years confirms his mastery by doling out a perfect ratio of moving interpersonal drama and visual enchantment.
		Seven Years in Tibet is an ambitious and beautiful movie with much to interest the patient viewer, but it makes the common mistake of many films about travelers and explorers: It is more concerned with their adventures than with what they discover.
		Though Pitt is as attractive as ever, "Seven Years" offers other things to look at and in fact functions better as a travelogue than as a drama.

		At the time, entry into Tibet by foreigners was absolutely illegal, and of course they two men had no documentation, money, or supplies to ease their journey or establish their bona fides.

		Jean-Jacques Annaud's ``Seven Years in Tibet'' takes the true story of a bright and powerful young boy who meets a stranger from a different land and buries it inside the equally true but less interesting story of the stranger.
		``Seven Years in Tibet'' is an ambitious and beautiful movie with much to interest the patient viewer, but it makes the common mistake of many films about travelers and explorers: It is more concerned with their adventures than with what they discover.
		But ``Seven Years in Tibet'' is a star vehicle: Pitt is required to justify its $70 million budget, and it would be churlish to blame him for his own miscasting since the movie would not have been made without him.

		Many of them had hardly believed that Tibet was such a place as the movie portrayed, and their curiosity about and enthusiasm for the cause of Tibet's freedom increased manyfold.
		Seven Years in Tibet tells the story of Heinrich Harrer and Peter Aufschnaiter, two Austrian mountaineers who escaped British internment in India and managed to escape to Tibet, where the people welcomed them as friends.
		In the end, the Tibet seen through the eyes of Harrer, the Tibet of the 1940s, the Tibet that inspired the myth and dream of Shangri-La, was lost forever.

		Seven Years in Tibet is the true story of Heinrich Harrer (Brad Pitt), an Austrian mountain climber who travels to India in 1939 to climb Nanga Parbat, one of the highest peaks in the Himalayas, and is captured on his way back by British troops in India.
		Seven Years in Tibet is slow, uninteresting, visually disappointing, and Brad Pitt affects a horrible German accent.

		But Seven Years in Tibet was particularly challenging because Tibet, which covers some one million square miles, an area the size of Western Europe, was a kingdom closed to Western eyes for ages.
		The emotional thrust of Annaud’s films was not lost on the Tibetan members of the Seven Years cast, such as Jetsun Pema, who normally works in Dharamsala supervising the education of some 10,000 children for the Tibetan government-in-exile.
		He was born in Tibet, fled the country at age 10, and has worked in one role or another for a "Free Tibet" ever since.

	Review: Seven Years in Tibet
		Seven Years in Tibet also tries a little too hard to underscore Harrer's transformation by overemphasizing his negative traits at the beginning.
		Seven Years in Tibet is at its strongest during those sequences when Harrer is crossing the Himalayas, adapting to Tibetan society, and forging a friendship with his surrogate son, the Dalai Lama.
		The best moments in Seven Years are the quiet, intimate ones, and while there's some enjoyment to be gained from the more adventurous sequences, they pale in comparison to the interaction between Harrer and the Dalai Lama.

		The answer, apparently, is Tibet, a beleaguered nation that offers a moral contrast—peace-loving monks versus vicious communist thugs—at least as stark as the old South Africa.
		Tibet has been under brutal Chinese occupation for nearly 50 years, and it's a saga that deserves plenty of retelling amidst the Clintonian fawning over the "new China." But whether all the well-meaning activism makes for good cinema is another matter.
		The first contender is Seven Years in Tibet, director Jean-Jacques Annaud's adaptation of Austrian mountain climber Heinrich Harrer's best-selling memoir.

		When shown his Racial and Residential Administration Investigation Form and handwritten resume, both of which demonstrated the fact that Harrer had served in the SA in Austria and the SS in Germany, Harrer was forced to admit his disgraceful Nazi past.
		That same year, Harrer, who was fully aware of the fact that his history as a Nazi would be exposed if he remained in Austria for a prolonged period, resettled in Lietchtenstein, a principality bordering on Switzerland.
		This is Heinrich Harrer's own statement in which he admits that he joined the SS and met Hitler, but denies that he was a member of the SA and does not mention the matter of Nazi Party membership.

		Cooking up an epic flavor, "Seven Years in Tibet" mills emotion during a period when Harrer is imprisoned in India by the British during World War II.
		It is a drama about the gradual changes in Harrer's soul and about the hopeless struggle Tibet faces against an invading communist China, which all but outlaws religion.
		"Seven Years in Tibet" is rich in camera, costume and casting (Annaud hired genuine Tibetan monks and the actual Dalai Lama's sister plays his mother), and it spins a fascinating yarn.
