Gon Rinpoche, without ups and downs, came slowly at a natural pace. It may be that there is an enthusiastic spoiler sitting next to it, and there is not much suspense in the whole movie, plus it is a documentary.
The film tells the story of a pilgrimage to Tibet, which contains all my imaginations about Tibet: faith, life and death, and the meaning of life. All these made me watch movies with a voyeur's mind, waiting for the movie to enlighten me, and finally I realized that I was wrong.
Until the end of the movie, the pilgrims continued to kowtow under the endless snow-capped mountains, and I didn't get the answer I wanted. They continued to move towards their beliefs, and after the song, we also returned to life from the unfinished meaning of the film.
The film is based on the birth year of Kong Rinpoche, and many Tibetan believers hope to worship and pray for all beings in this year. In order to fulfill his father's wishes and uncle's wishes in his lifetime, the Tibetan man Nima decided to set out for Leboqi, Ganzi, Tibet.
After the news spread in the small village, it opened the long-buried wish of the villagers. They want to join, some want to clear their sins, and some want to pray. Finally, a butcher, a family that prayed for two dead people to build a house, a young pregnant woman, her husband and sister, and dozens of people set foot in The Way.

It may be a documentary, which can really feel their original life. From the beginning of the film, the girl sitting next to me has been talking. She saw Tibetans using their hands and Baba, so she pulled her companions to her side and said, "They eat with their hands. How dirty they are. When they are sick, they have to spend money to see a doctor. "
After a while, I saw them still crawling in the snow, so I said, "It's such a big snow, get on the bus first and avoid it!" " Wait until the snow stops. I didn't wear gloves, my shoes were torn and my toes were exposed. "I listened to her complaints through the screen, but her tone was full of concern. They gradually became smaller from snowstorm to blizzard until dusk, until they settled down.
Not long after the trip, the accompanying Tibetan pregnant women and children will be born. In the middle of the night, several Tibetan men sent her to the hospital in Linxian for delivery overnight. I think the director is really honest. He broadcast the delivery live. I've seen giving birth on TV before. At most, I saw my mother screaming at the top of her lungs. The doctor is still very gentle and encouraging.
When I saw the Tibetan doctor's hands pressing as hard as possible on the pregnant woman's round belly, the sweat on his forehead came out, and a wrinkled child appeared in front of me, I realized that TV had lied to me. Shortly after the baby was born, she joined the worship, kowtowing while nursing. The girl added, "Hey! She is really made of iron, at least for this month. "
On the way to Tibet, a driver avoided their only tractor with luggage because he avoided another car. This encounter is tantamount to adding insult to injury to their pilgrimage to Tibet. After explaining the situation to them, the driver said that there were still two people waiting for treatment in the car, so he let the driver go quietly without any entanglement.
I'm so stupid. The whole front of the car is deformed and can't work. Fortunately, the Tibetan driver and the baby in the car are in peace. Each of them accepted the car accident without a trace of sadness on their faces, just like a gust of wind and a rain on the way to worship. What about the next trip?
They have encountered such a big obstacle, and they are still halfway through the pilgrimage. How do they continue the next journey? I'm thinking, don't worry too much, there will always be a god-like figure to help them, otherwise how can the movie go on? However, when they threw away the front of the car, I realized that this is not a movie, this is life. Several Tibetan men dragged the tail of the car slowly, walked some way back to worship three times and nine times, then pulled some way back to worship, and so on, and continued to complete their pilgrimage without delay. The uncle next to him saw this scene and sighed, "It's really not wasted."
I have been "explaining" from the girl next to me for a long time. Hearing this sentence again, I finally stopped laughing! These movie audiences are so happy! I don't think this is a movie that makes me laugh, nor is it a sad drama. They are too calm in the face of change.

We saw the life of another foreign culture in the movie, except for being impressed by their firm beliefs, the rest were puzzled.
I don't know why they chose 2000km The Way.
I don't know why a 9-year-old playful child and an unborn baby have to suffer like this.
I don't understand the inevitable disaster crime of natural and man-made disasters, but I have to bear it myself.
I don't understand why they are so indifferent to the pain between life and death.
On this road, after hundreds of days of repeated crawling and overlapping trips, is it true that when we reach Potala Palace and Gangrinpoche, our fate will be reversed and all our wishes will be realized?
In the movie, in order to protect her, Zaza's father was injured by a stone falling from the mountain. He remembered two people who died unexpectedly when building a house for him, and kept asking, "Is God sometimes unfair? My grandfather didn't do anything bad, neither did my father, nor did I. Why do these things happen to me? " He sat in the tent and swallowed his tears. He can't understand these disasters that befell him, and he can't get rid of them like a spell.
I was really moved by this kind Tibetan man. He blamed these disasters on unknown so, but he still blamed himself and took it alone. Some accidents and injuries in life are inevitable and there is no reason to speak of them. It happened that when the stone fell, he was the only one who was injured. He thought it was God's punishment for his sins. 3 18 national highway accidents occur frequently, and heavy trucks are sometimes inevitable accidents, not to mention physical injuries.
This time, in a greater sense, it can be said that it saved itself.
In order not to hurt an ant, the Tibetan butcher crawled on the ground, waiting for it to climb over. He really realized that life is equal and tiny life is respected.
This The Way, for them, is the road to self-redemption, emptying everything, emptying to zero and starting over. Without guilt and condemnation, we can naturally face life calmly and face life and death.
What we see from the screen is bitterness and fatigue. And we can't set foot on them and feel the satisfaction they get. The baptism of this road made them face life with a calm mind, without sadness or complaint.
Seeing them sitting around chatting, chanting and mending shoes, everyone was given a piece of dried mutton.
Three worships and nine knocks step by step into the Potala Palace and put on white Hada.
Climb over the mountains and water to the foot of Kang Linboqi.
When lamas raised the baby's chanting prayers, they showed grateful eyes and expectations for the children.
Zhazha's mother touched her head and said, "Girls kowtow well and learn a lot."
When Yang Pei died, Nima leaned over and said calmly, "Uncle, let's go." There was no crying, and things were arranged in an orderly way.
At this moment, everything that happened to them can be understood.

In the movie, they sang "Lucky to be lamas, but unfortunately they went away" in the snowstorm. Suddenly, I can understand why they insist on worship and why there are no taboos. They took off their innocence early in the small crowd playing with their childhood and began to exercise. In their view, an ordinary pilgrimage may take about a year.
Everyone has his own The Way, and no one can redeem him. Only by trying to climb to the top of the pyramid, you should remember that those who give you bad reviews or good reviews are not responsible for your life, they only see what they can see.
Just like in Hoh Xil, I remember a line saying: Have you ever seen someone kowtow? Their hands and faces are dirty, but their hearts are especially clean.
I seem to see the influence of this pilgrimage on the little girl Zhazha and the baby. This sense of ceremony will leave a deep mark on their lives, which is a symbol of a unique culture.
Finally, we all worship this belief devoutly, but we don't yearn for it. Because we'll never get there.
