Where they actors? They seemed so real
shareWell, yes and no... no real professionals anyway. Thilen who plays Tinlé, the Chief is a real Chief of village in the Dolpo (Very high Tibetan part of the Nepal). He's an old friend of the director who had lived 2 years there and a year in Nepal. Nyma who plays the Lama is a real Lama from Tibet who escaped to India through Dolpo. Gurgon Kyap who plays the so of teh other clan and will lead eventually is a real "yak-pa" a Yak driverfrom the Amdo in the East of Tibet; to escape Chinese domination he escaped to India whre he became a cook... but he's now trying to make a living as an actor
LHAPKA TSAMCHOE is the only real actress. She grew up in the South of India far from her cultural grounds. I like to think that she wouldn't have been so beautiful if her skin had to endure the harsh condition of the Dolpo. She started acting in Jean-Jacques Annaud's Seven years in Tibet...
The kid who plays Passang accomplished his dream and is now studying in Katmandou...
I loved the film, just finished watching it, and I thought all the acting was authentic and genuine.
Wonderful faces, beautiful scenery!
BAD ACTING???THEY WERE SO REAL!THEY WERE NOT PROFESSIONAL ACTORS,THEY ARE THE REAL VILLAGE PEOPLE OF DOLPA(NEPAL) AND IT MAY AMAZE U TO KNOW THAT THEY NEVER ,IN THEIR LIVES, HAVE SEEN OR HEARD ABOUT MOVIES.THEY HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT IT!!!!!
