Nothing more I can say about this movie, or so I thought till I watched the ending credits and heard that incredible piece of music in the credits. Can anyone tell me the name of the tune and who plays it. Very full bass and electronic sound and amazing vocals.
How to steal a soul
This movie is about Tibet, with Tibetan actors speaking Tibetan, but is meant neither for Tibetans or Western audiences. It’s loosely based on a 1985 short story by the “Tibetan” novelist Tashi Dawa, who was born to a Chinese mother and educated in China, writes only in Chinese, speaks no Tibetan, and is a prominent and respected figure in the Chinese cultural establishment. Yet the Chinese never refer to him as a citizen of China, but invariably call him a Tibetan, because of his father’s birthplace.Tashi Dawa is China’s foremost practitioner of “magic realism” — which blurs the line between reality and fantasy — and that’s what you get in this movie, an uneasy blending of truth and fiction, meant to appropriate the culture of Tibet and re-present it as a barbaric myth that is now part of China’s heritage, the way the American Wild West is part of our own.
Imagine a story right out of a John Ford western, an outlaw on a daunting mission to deliver a precious stone, but with a metaphysical twist — he’s pursued not only by thieves and a pair of brothers hell bent on karmic revenge, but by John Ford himself — or in this case, an actor standing in for Mr. Dawa, who is seeking the end of his own story, tracking his fictional characters across a gorgeously surreal landscape, finally taking over where they leave off, counting the days of his hero’s journey like beads on a Tibetan rosary, arriving magically on day 108, the number of volumes that comprise the Tibetan canon of the Buddha’s words.
China has taken over Tibet in much the same way we stole the West from Native Americans. First by brute force and military conquest, then by industrial and technological exploitation, finally by laying claim to its cultural mythology, capturing its “soul” on their string. Don’t ask the Native Tibetans on the rez what they think of this movie. They won’t tell you. But you can guess.
