Although Brad Pitt is definitely not one of my favourite actors, I think he definitely deserves credit where credit is due. I feel he did an excellent job in this film. I could not imagine anyone else in the role of Heindrich Harrer.
Really, though, that bleached-blonde mop isn't the best thing about this movie. This film showed the purity of the former Tibet, where foreigners were not allowed, where outside influences were shunned. The Tibetans were and are a gentle people, but they have been corrupted by imperialistic Westerners (and Communists) so that they are no longer the otherworldly people they seem in "Seven Years In Tibet."
