Movie Reviews of Why Has Bodhi-Dharma Left for the East

Movie Review: Philosophy you get from a fortune cookie and post card images
Summary: 1 Stars

Thank you master for hitting me with a stick of boredom.

I stopped watching this mess midway through. There is nothing here to keep my attention either with a message or an image. All I asked for was a reason, one silly reason to keep watching, but it can't even come up with one. If you want to be bored, by all means buy or rent this movie, and then tell all your friends the title so you can come off as interesting.

Instead of watching this movie-like object, go read The Outsider by Colin Wilson and thank me for both saving you from this and leading you to something.

Summary of Why Has Bodhi-Dharma Left for the East

Bae Yong-kyun's Zen masterpiece. Acclaimed by critics and audiences throughout the world, "Why Has Bodhi-Dharma Left for the East?" is simply one of the most ravishing films ever made. In a remote monastery high up in the mountains, an old master, a young monk and an orphaned boy devote themselves to their Buddhist teachings. As the master faces death, he becomes more desperate to lead his disciples away from the outside world and point them toward their quest for enlightenment. This magnificent film, astonishingly rich in its formal beauty and affirmation of life, is not only a cinematic gem but a transcendent evocation of the mystery and humanity of Zen Buddhism. Selected by three international film critics as "One of the Ten Best Films of All Time" in the 1993 Sight & Sound Critics Poll.
