Movie Reviews of Life of Buddha
Movie Review: Good educational DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
You can learn a lot about Siddhartha Gautama, The Buddha, from this DVD. However, the first half is a bit boring (I showed it to my high school students in a World Religions class and they dozed through the first 30 minutes!) The second half is much better. One major drawback is that a few of the experts who are interviewed in the program have such thick accents that they are very difficult to understand. But, on the positive side, this program is beautifully filmed, showing many of the places where Siddhartha spent time during his life. And, as far as I can tell, it is an accurate and detailed retelling of the events of his life. I greatly enjoyed it and my students leanred a lot from it (once they woke up!)
