7_Years_In_Tibet

7 Years In Tibet 7 Years in Tibet While searching for various related events to study over the course of this class, I chose to watch the movie 7 Years in Tibet. I did not choose this simply because of it being a movie, but because of its powerful impact that it can have on someone who was not aware of the hatred that the Chinese had toward the Tibetan people. As I was watching this movie last week, I was thinking that this movie would be more of a bore than something that I would enjoy watching, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. Now due to the fact that I enjoy being in the outdoors, when the movie started out with mountain climbing it caught my eye. Before watching it, I was not aware that foreigners were not allowed in to Lhasa, the cultural center of Tibet. When allowed in, the were allowed to stay in Lhasa by a local family. But after the man that allowed the foreigners to stay with him, told the government that he had a foreigner in Lhasa, he was told to talk to the Dalai Lama.
