小活佛 (Little Buddha)
名大導演Bertolucci所導‚基努。李維斯所飾。
“Little Buddha” directed by Bertolucci, starring by Keanu Reeves.
總片長 : 123分鐘
內容簡介：
一天，兩位來自不丹高僧來到西雅圖，為的是追尋一位先師的轉世靈童。
千里迢迢，他們終於找到一個九歲小孩傑西的家門前，更相信這金髮男孩可能是圓寂了的高僧的輪回轉世；因此希望能帶傑西一起上路，返回位於不丹的寺院接受轉世靈童的的驗證。
首次見面，傑西與喇嘛很快建立起師友關係，相處期間，喇嘛更常向傑西講述佛祖釋迦牟尼的一生故事。眼見兒子與喇嘛相處異常投契，身為父親的迪安決定答應帶同傑西一同遠赴充滿神秘色彩的不丹，一起探索佛教源流的奧妙，一次奇妙的旅程便由此展開……
古今兩線情節自此交錯進行，現代部分描寫傑西父母對此事的反應比較平淡，古代部分由奇洛．李維斯塗黑皮膚扮演印度王子的一段則拍得美倫美奐，美術攝影配 樂等均有極高水準，得道時的特技處理亦拍出了一點禪意。影片通過尋找小活佛的故事，再現了兩千多年前釋尊從王子誕生、出家、苦行、求道、直至菩提樹下悟道 成佛的歷程。
西藏活佛轉世之談流傳已久，到底此事真相如何？義大利名導演伯納多．貝托魯奇以十分認真的製作來講述佛教故事。但願您喜歡!
Little Buddha is a story about the quest of a group of monks, led by Lama Norbu, to seek out the rebirth of his great Buddhist teacher, Lama Dorje. Lama Norbu and his fellow monks believe they have found a candidate of Dorje's rebirth within a boy named Jesse Conrad in Seattle. While Jesse is fascinated with the monks and their way of life, his parents, Dean and Lisa, are wary, and that wariness turns into near-hostility when Norbu announces that he would like to take Jesse back with him to Bhutan to be tested. Jesse's father changes his mind however, after one of his close friends and colleagues commits suicide, seeming to realize that there could be more to life than work and money. He then decides to go to Bhutan with his son. In Nepal, two children who are also candidates are encountered, Raju and Gita.
In the story, the Lama Norbu relates Buddha's life story, which is also enacted as a story line within the movie. In this depiction, a Hindu prince called Siddhartha (Keanu Reeves) sets on a journey to achieve greater awareness. As he progresses, he learns profound truths about the nature of life, consciousness, and reality. Ultimately, he battles Mara (a demon representing the ego), who repeatedly tries to divert and destroy Siddhartha. Through concentrated non-attachment and final realization of the illusory nature of his own ego, Siddhartha attains enlightenment.
