In the past week, I watched two movies that I saw years ago and have always remembered fondly:The Sand Pebbles - I think it is one of Steve McQueen's best.
The Princess Bride - A great cast and a great story.
Both really are marvelous movies.
This afternoon I watched 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama. It was gentle and very moving. At the end, I was left with a tear in my eye. It seemed appropriate somehow to watch this film at this time. I know the Dalai Lama was just recently released from the hospital. He is quite elderly (73 years old). He seems a little frail. It is odd to think of the world without the Dalai Lama.
He could conceivably last another 30 years. I hope so. It would be nice if he could go home.

I haven't watched the movie 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama, but I have the CD. I'm glad he's out of hospital. He is frail. Yes it would be "odd to think of the world without the Dalai Lama."

The movie has a lot of interesting background information and old clips of the Dalai Lama as a child and young man. That was as interesting as his response to the questions.
I'll try get the DVD. The movie sounds interesting.
