Shambala (2012)
This film has a message to tell but it failed.
I was so disappointed with this film.
I thought it could be better. This film has a message to tell but it failed.
The background of starting a journey is also ridiculous; the younger brother wanted to go to Tibet so as to fulfill a promise he gave to his girlfriend. While his partner in crime, the elder, agreed to joy his brother's long trip to Tibet so that he could escape from his work.
The scenery of Tibet is stunning. The main actors are also well-performed except for poor script.
What I don't like most is the diametrically opposed personalities of the two leading characters who are brothers. Although they are full siblings, they don't have anything in common at all. The story is trying to persuade audiences to believe that the two completely-have-nothing-in-common brothers finally can make peace because of "Shambala".
The word "Shambala" are often referred in the film. The characters refer to it as an on-earth paradise. It is highly praised and symbolize spiritual enlightenment.
I have ever been to Tibet. My experience is indescribable. I were missing Tibet so I watched this movie.
I have watched Seven Years in Tibet. In term of storyteller, this movie is unmatchable.
As the story went on, I was very boring and fell asleep.
Audiences were misled about the death of Tin's girlfriend.
The end of the story would be better if the story could build more tension. The conflicts between two brothers are not enough to create powerful climax and thus, the conclusion is unbelievable.
Last, I should have recommended this movie for the sake of supporting Thai movie industry. Unfortunately, I cannot think of any good reasons to do so.
