Kundun1997

Scorses-a-thon “Nonviolence means cooperation when it is possible.” “And resistance when it is not.” This is so important. The fact that Disney made this film limited its release and then banned it and apologized to China for its existence by building them a theme park fills me with so much rage and anger. This fact only proves how true this film is.  Watch this movie. It can be found on YouTube. Watch a story about a boy who learned to be a good man and learned to lead a country. This reminds me so much of Israel and of Palestine and all the peoples in the world that want to live and to be seen. Wanting nothing more than the right to exist.  Scorsese is the most fascinating director I’ve seen. He can make incredible bombastic films like Goodfellas or Casino and then turn and make something so beautiful and impactful. Again, I implore you to see this.  “I believe I am a reflection, like the moon on water. When you see me, and I try to be a good man, you see yourself.”
