The film's runtime of 134 is undeniably lengthy from a general standpoint, yet as far as an epic is concerned, and one that follows the complex life of the current Dalai Lama, that runtime doesn't sound as though it completely fits the bill, so I was expecting some rushing. Still, as good as the film is, its historical mistakes are certainly not the only hiccups it makes.
Well, if you're going to start on your history lessons by learning about the current Dalai Lama, then this film makes for a pretty good teacher. I was thinking of saying, "needless to say, this film about the Dalai Lama is one of Scorsese's couple of films that don't involve brutal killings", but if you actually think that I'd be spoiling a film about Jesus by saying that he dies, then I should probably cut out the "needless to say" part, because you need to learn some history.

Oops, sorry for the spoiler, seeing as how no one could have possibly predicted that a movie about Jesus Christ would end with him dying. No, I'm very well aware that Scorsese is perfectly capable of doing things outside of crime films, though his range typically cuts off just short of his tradition of having a brutal body count, because even "The Last Temptation of Christ" ended with the main character dying pretty harshly. I think the only film about asians that I can see Scorsese attached to as director is "Oldboy". I know when I think of a biographical epic about the 14th Dalai Lama, I think of Martin Scorsese, though that might only be because this film came out mere months after "Seven Years in Tibet", and the only other pair of films that I can think of off the top of my head that shared subject matter and came out around the same time are "Chapter 27" and "The Killing of John Lennon", both of which involved someone getting shot, something that is right up Scorsese's alley, so I sometimes get them confused in the biggest stretch of a way.
