Review of Words of My Perfect Teacher

I enjoyed this movie for so many different levels. for one it lacked the high 'sophisticated, philosophical' atmosphere that we see in other more in-depth documentaries on the Dharma. Due to this, it had an entertaining quality that allowed you to relax and open up to it. The messages shown in the documentary were I found quite lax, because there was no real depth. At the same time as an introduction to general Buddhism, it did a nice job. I watch the movie again and again because, as a student of Buddhism, I like to be reminded about the core ideas in a way that sin't as scholarly as other sources. I gave it an 7/10 because not only is it fun at times, but as a piece of entertainment it does not cookie cut Buddhism as other shows have done in the past.
