Prince Siddharta Gautama was born some 2,500 years ago as a prince in what is now called Lumbini in Nepal. At his birth, many special signs appeared. His father asked a sage living in his kingdom for advice on his son. The sage predicted that Gautama would become either a great King or a great spiritual teacher.\n\nThe King wanted his son to be his successor and tried to keep his son far away from all matters of life that could incline him to a spiritual life. Gautama usually spent his life in his father's palace, surrounded by all possible luxuries of the time. He proved to be a special child, being quite intelligent as well as an excellent sportsman. He married to a beautiful woman he loved, and they had a son.\n\nWhen he was 29 years old, he discovered there was much suffering in the world around him. Traditionally it is explained that he suddenly recognised the problems of sickness, old age and death when visiting the city. Being shocked by the suffering of all living beings, he decided to search for way to end it. He left his wife and child, the palace and even his royal clothes, and started out on a spiritual quest.\n\nGautama studied under various teachers and followed their practices until he mastered them all. His first teacher was Alara Kalama who taught a form of meditation leading to an exalted form of absorption called "state of no-thingness", a state without moral or cognitive dimension. Gautama saw this was not going to solve suffering, and continued his search.\nThe next teacher was Udraka Ramaputra who taught him meditative absorption leading to “the state of neither perception nor non-perception”. Again, Gautama realised this was not the state he was looking for. (Both Alara and Udraka are by some scholars considered Jain followers.)\nNext, he tried extreme ascetic practices at Uruvilva, with five other ascetics who turned into his followers. In the end, Gautama nearly died of starvation.\nAfter about six years of searching, he realised that just wearing down his body did not generate new insights, but rather leads to weakness and self-destruction. When he decided to give up extreme asceticism, his students left him.\nHe then sat down in a place now called Bodhgaya (North India) under a Bodhi-tree and decided not to get up anymore until he discovered the truth. Just a short time later, he became a fully enlightened Buddha. This means that he actualised all positive potentials of a sentient being and rid himself of all negative qualities. With this, he realised the true nature of existence and suffering (emptiness), and how suffering can be ended. \nSeven weeks after enlightenment, the Buddha gave his first discourse in Sarnath, near Varanasi . Here he taught the 4 Noble Truths. The Buddha continued to teach during his life, until passing away at the age of  81.\n\nThe Buddha once summarised his entire teachings in one sentence:\n\n    "I teach about suffering and the way to end it".

I think it's about his need to make his father proud, to be loved by his audience, and be considered "successful," yet while this is his main focus, he loses sight of the fact that his family has fallen apart.  With that, he is so distracted by the details of the job, that he does not even notice his father's awareness of his crumbling family.  I think the main point is centered on the importance of success really beginning at home, within your own family.  We loved the movie.  Both of us lost it when he was speaking with his wife on the phone and Cage got nailed with a Big Gulp...his reaction to it was priceless.

Financially, it was a risky and silly decision to make, no doubt. But, as an SC season ticket holder, it was an absolute pleasure to watch him play for another year. Refreshing to see that unorthodox decision made.

I don't think either was best.  The reason you felt that they were both great was because they complemented each other.  Because the actors were both so good, each of them used his character to make the other character more interesting.  If one of them was obviously better, it wouldn't be a very good partnership.  Therefore, the only way to prefer one to the other would be personal preference towards the actor.  The actor wouldn't be better, only preferred.

What a biatch. I saw Dhoom 2 and was suprised as well. She was being offered Hollywood roles where she had to kiss, etc and she turned them down. We praised her for not "selling her body" and that was a big promotional scam for her only like it got her on Oprah, etc. Now she's going to get married and she starts kissing? Come on. Now we have reason to believe Shakti Kapoor when he said Ash had sex to get into Taal. She disappointed me in that one. I would have forgiven her if she kissed Abhi but Hrithik, no.

He was a simple man who changed the destiny of India. He was unlike any politician or public figure anywhere in the world becuase he was an absolute antithesis of public leaders what we see today. Dressed in a small loin cloth he has a huge determination and innovative ways of fighting a freedom struggle. Isntead of guns, he fought the Britishers with weapons like non cooperation and non violence.  You got to read about him a lot to understand his philosophy becuase otherwise you wont understand him as most people in India and other countries dont.

Sorry, it was a media myth, he split with his wife due to personal difficulties and the media blew it all out of proportion.

I have a great hubby who gets movies b4 relese.  Broke back was stupid and Saw 1 and 2 were edge of your seaters.  Not a real brainy movie, but had all the right stuff to make your heart go fast!!  It is a game of beat the clock on your life, a puzzle.  But a sick puzzle.  A man with an uncurabledisease sets traps and puzzles for people, if they solve the puzzle, they live.

I'm not an Asian Indian but one of my friends (who is black) married an Asian Indian and his family almost had a coronary. They grew more accepting of my friend as the years went by but their initial reaction wasn't that pleasant.

it was one of the movies that made me realise that acting is not a dramatised version but what comes from within a talented actor and AMITAB and RANI did live as if they were real in the true sense. Photography was excellent, especially the interior sequences. Direction in overall was good, and the casting was in tune to the script. i'll rate the movie 100% artistic.

DUE TO HIS PERFORMANCE.

Just the sort of think John Wayne said in all his movies.....in slightly less elegant terms.\n\nBasically: the character of a man isn't determined by the trouble in his life but, rather, by how he *handles* the trouble in his life.
