Movie Reviews of Huston Smith: The Mystic's Journey
Movie Review: Huston Smith teamed up with filmmakers Elda and Irving Hartley
Summary: 5 Stars
"Externals must yield to internals,
Matter to meaning,
Outward symbol to inner reality,
Love the pitcher less... and the water more."
This fascinating film looks like it should be just one of a series of films.
In this day and age of documentaries from many major scholars and investigators and presented by people such as Bill Moyers we tend to over look hard to find yet just as relevant earlier documentaries.
This film has three separate films Islamic Mysticism: The Sufi Way," "Requiem for a Faith: Tibetan Buddhism" and "India and the Infinite: The Soul of a People." Each is found to be fascinating in its self.
What make the films fascinating is that even though the focus is on the mysticism of the religion the actual subject is more of the culture; there is good footage of daily lives of the different regions.
This is only an 80 minutes presentation that leaves you wanting more.
The only down fall is that we can see the original film is dated and no one took the time to remaster or clean up the original scratches. One you start watching you will not notice.
