Everest: A Climb for Peace

This was a very well-done documentary based on a beautiful idea. It had a lot of drama and personality. I'd recommend it to friends.

I can watch this movie over and over again. It is wonderfully made, historically interesting, and insightful about a formulative era of the World's religions.

Nice and strong for the first 10-15 minutes, but movie lost focus as soon as Bloom's character arrived in Kentucky. What was the movie trying to say? Young man who loved and thought he knew his father discovers facets he never knew, thereby gaining greater perspective and understanding to handle his own problems? Nope, that didn't happen. Young man from big city who had always thought his father's side of the family was corny and strange discovers a strong loving base from which he goes forth into the world once again? Nope, not that either. Young man putzes from scene to disjointed scene wondering why he's there? Yes, that's it!

A few things were very hard for me to get my mind around: why were there no focus groups done on that shoe? How did Susan Sarandon fit all those classes into just three days, and how did it happen that they all started in that exact week that her husband died? How did Kirsten Dunst make that incredibly complex guidebook in just one day? How come Kirsten Dunst kept coming back after she said "We peaked on the phone"??

Bloom and Dunst's hours long phone call bored me, by the way, as did Susan Sarandon's long speech/dance, as did the pointless journey across America. I very much wanted to fast forward but was afraid I'd miss the one little sentence or scene that gave meaning to the movie. Turns out there wasn't one. Go ahead and fast forward through this entire movie. You won't miss anything.
