The Buddha

documentary

Reverential look at the life of Siddharta G...a man for all seasons.

At first the commenters said little or nothing was known for sure about his life since the first bio wasn't written until 500 years (!) after his death but for the rest of the film that qualifier was forgotten and stuff was recited as hard fact with multiple sectarian interpretations, etc. Ah...myth...humanity's curse.

This isn't as hateful a body of thought as the abrahamic desert nonsense but it still strikes me as pathetic bullshit, the main purpose of which is to make the swallower feel superior...er...enlightened.

There's no hope. Richard Gere narrated. Oy!
