After returning to his good-gangster grass (and changing the career of Sharon Stone) With the 1995 Casino, Martin Scorsese surprised the film industry by turning attention to a project for the early life of the 14th Dalai Lama. Based on the Script of the ETS-Wonzemic screenwriter Melissa Mattison, "Kundun" followed the Dalai Lama from his discovery in a small province until his flight from Chinese forces in Tibet to India in 1959.

This was a new territory for Scorsese, which was never a reliable bet on box office, but universal, satisfied with the success of Casino and Cape Fear, was ready to take the film "Green Light". This has changed when Seagram Hooch-Slinger Edgar Bronfman Runior bought the studio. Worried about China's jumping and losing access to the country's mass market, Bronfman turned that green light deep red, forcing Scorsese to buy "Kundun" in other study. Shockingly, Michael Eisner of Disney, who had ambitions on the global theme park, stepped, though with a plan to restrict distribution of Chinese substrate. Given what happened next, the news that Disney is currently approaching an agreement to make Flick of Scorsese's Hawaiian crime In actress Dwayne Nsonson, Leonardo DiCaprio and Emily Blunt is, to put him mildly, iousubopitic.

When Kundun was released at Christmas 1997, the Chinese government, after forcing Disney to withdraw its distribution and marketing plans, cast the public. Azner, who is not a particularly careful man, failed to predict that China can wait until the film comes out to learn a lesson in making a film that paints its leaders as it was other than well -intentioned saints. When the Chinese government has finally decided to flex the muscles, it ensures that Scorsese's film becomes very difficult to see how it goes forward.

According to the UU Ronji 2015 book "UU Ronji on the Record: The Road to Reform", The long game avoided by Eizner met with China's leadership to lubricate the slides to build a Disney theme park in the populated country. However, Eizner quickly found himself punished for insulting the nation by telling the tragically true story of the crimes he visited to the Tibetan people and its role in leading the earthly leader of the earth, who was rightly afraid of his life in India. Izner looked at these leaders in the eye and completely, shameful capitulated.

After calling the movie "Stupid Mistake," said Aisner, "The bad news is that the film is made; the good news is that no one was watching it. Here I want to apologize and in the future we should prevent this kind of things that offend our friends, to happen."

Shanghai Disneyland officially opened to the public in 2016, so you can't legally convey Kundyun anywhere. The movie is not impossible to see if you really want to watch it. There are still in plastic copies of Kino Lorber Limited Blu-Ray in 2019 on eBay for as much as $ 59.99 and DVDs available for less than $ 10. This is not only a Scorsese film, but, in my opinion, one of its best, obviously you want a possible version of the highest quality. In six years there is no new issue of Kundun, and there are currently no 4K transfer plans. I am quite sure that the criterion would like to get its myths of the film, and I am just as sure that Disney is not calling the company's calls.

When you think about how successful the Chinese government is in harassing the most powerful Hollywood studio by posting a sick film with an unusual film that has little appeal to the main audience, you care about what will happen when someone in employees dares to speak the truth of the power in this growing staff. Actually, Rachel Zagler can tell you Exactly what will happen.
