Build a movie theater! LOL


I found this to be such a ridiculous stuff in a movie. The young Dalai Lama asking a mountain climber "Hey, you know what? I want a movie theater here, so people can see movies, what do you think? Can you build it for me?", and the climber saying "Really? You want a movie theater? Yeah, no problem."

Since when mountain climbers are architects?

You realize that it's a true story, don't you? After escaping to Tibet from a Nazi POW camp, Harrer was given work with the Tibet government as a translator, photographer, and eventually tutor to the Dalai Lama, for whom he - among other things - built a movie theater.

Even if you knew nothing of Harrer before seeing the movie, and even if you couldn't be arsed to look him up, even in Wikipedia, the film itself makes all of these things clear.

You make yourself look rather foolish.

Duh true story bruh, its called research do it before you post. Knucklehead.

I don't give a damn about research myself before watching a movie. A movie should stand by itself. Didn't you know that? Anyway that was not my point. My point is that a climber doesn't know sh!t about building a theater. That is ridiculous! Architectural stuff is far from being comparable to photography.

Yeah, I know it is a true story, so what? Harrer being asked to build a theater and he actually doing it sounds quite fancy.

Well, obviously he does know about this stuff... because he actually DID IT.

Whether it sounds 'fancy' or not, it's true - so why are you making fun of the movie for showing something that actually happened?!

Once again, you're being foolish.

LOL, sounds like the OP has issues with reality. "The real world isn't like I think it should be, it's stupid, waaaaaah!"

Besides, an architect would have been unlikely to succeed at building the Dalai Lama a movie theater given the materials on hand. Harrier was creative and quite handy with tools (as many mountain climbers have learned to be), which served the purpose better than "architecture."
