    If she does I hope China responds by doing to a major US company what they did to Sony. I guess after they released 7 Years in Tibet the head of the Film Bureau told the head of Sony Entertainment they weren't welcome in China. And if you do another movie like that, you can pack your shit and get the fuck out. Not just Sony Entertainment, all of Sony: Semi conductors, music, Play Station, all of it. Capital simply can't do without that massive market.

        Brad Pitt, John Williams, Yo Yo Ma, 1997

        How have I never heard of this movie?

        A Nazi SS Officer (Brat Pitt) befriends the slave-owning feudal theocrat ruling Tibet, while on a Nazi invasion of Tibet, and they become bros, and the Nazi teaches the slave-owning monarch about Western Civilization. But then the evil Communists take away the Dalai Lama's slaves and the Nazi has to flee back to Austria, where his son doesn't care for him at first, but then he does, the end.

        Oh.

        We had to watch that in class.

        I was internally cheering for China and the PLA in their effort to liberate the Tibetan people from theocratic feudalism and slavery :mao-wave:

      Additionally, during the scene at the train station, Harrer appears hostile to the Nazi Party, taking the Nazi flag with reluctance. The real-life Heinrich Harrer was in fact a Nazi Schutzstaffel NCO, and stated in his 1938 book that "We climbed up the North Face of Eiger over the summit and up to our führer" while as a member of the German Alpine Association.
