movie review - Kundun

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1998.02.08

A well-shot but overly overdone flick by Martin Scorcese. It's about the life and times of the Dalai Lama, and is therefore pretty miserable. You'll leave this wondering what you've done with your life.

Recommended.

rand()m quote

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.

—Col. Eric G. Kail
