VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
erikvanosmedia Give Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh some serious time on YouTube first, before watching. None of the episodes gives real insight into his person nor into his philosophy. Because of this, most viewers will picture him as an idiot or a charlatan and will not understand his followers. By ignoring the protagonist and his leitmotiv 'Wild, wild country' is just about rednecks and hippies. Deep in our hearts we know that it is the bad guys who win, so there is this melancholy in de the end; this strange longing to this unknown world of... The documentary also reminds me of the story of one devil alarming another devil with the news of a newborn messias who is preaching truth, freedom & love. 'We have to do something about it!' The other devil says. 'No need for that!' interrupts a third devil: 'He has followers already!'
ivo-ivan As a teenager and into my early twenties I was heavily influenced by Osho's books. Think for yourself, be true to yourself, don't fit it just because you have to fit in, learn to celebrate life, accept the New as gift, etc.It was an exceptional experience to watch this documentary.I loved that the filmmakers used old footage, facts, articles, that they interviewed people who were directly involved in the story. They showed both sides of the story, thus letting you decide for yourself.It's a brilliant picture..for me it portrays in a great way the dichotomy of "the moral" or "the teachings of the Master" on one hand and the real life on the other.Morals, beliefs, loyalty, friendship etc are all very beautiful poetic words, but usually they go at a cost that few people are willing to pay in real life.the greatest value of this film is how this dichotomy is portrayed with "facts and figures". It's up to you to decide how you will take the film. I love it.
Sierra_Marie_907 I was really wanted to like documentary, however I found it to be so flawed that I couldn't even finish it. I am not one to stop watching something as I generally like to see things through. Especially since I had already made it halfway through, which totals 3 hours. However, I felt that I had learned so little about anything actually going on that the best half was unlikely to improve much. They feel the need to show you several different people saying the same thing ultimately getting you nowhere. On the other hand other things are glossed over. I do not understand the love for this show. Somehow they made a cult, something that should be very interesting, boring. So disappointing.
akshayug05 Absolutely Amazing Documentary, the emotions, gripping soundtrack, Captivating footages about Rajneeshees, the peaceful, free loving Sanyasins from all over the world. Its sad that How those old bigoted Conservative people at antelope targeted, provoked, tried to destroy Rajneeshees and Rajneeshpuram, along with U.S. govt. from the pressure of conservative Churches witch hunted Rajneeshees and this exposed their hypocrisy, we feel sad about the nice Rajneesh Lawayer Prem Niren, and at the end of the story which is very emotional.
