Buddha	comment	Buddha is a 1961 film from Japan directed by Kenji Misumi.It is a story of the life of Siddhartha Gautama, also known as the Buddha. Since little is known of the facts of the life of Gautama, any biopic about him has a great deal of Artistic License. In this version Gautama is born as a prince in a royal house in northern India. Grudgingly, he enters a contest of skill for the hand of a princess named Yashodara, defeating a rival prince named Devadatta.Six years pass. The marriage of Gautama and Yashodara remains childless, much to her disappointment and the frustration of his father, the king. Gautama takes tours of his family's kingdom and is disturbed by the human misery and suffering that he sees—sickness, starvation, appalling human sacrifice rituals. He decides that he must leave his family and his wife and become a monk, so that he may meditate and find the cause of human suffering.Cue the return of the dastardly Devadatta, who attempts to win Yashodara back now that she has been abandoned by her husband. Yashodara rejects him, saying that she will be Gautama's forever even if he never returns. Meanwhile Gautama, meditating in the forest, eventually achieves complete enlightenment, realizing that attachment to material things is the cause of suffering, and that evil must only be replaced by love. He becomes the Buddha.The Buddha begins his ministry, sometimes going out among the people to spread his doctrine of enlightenment, but also receiving pilgrims in his forest glade. Back at the palace Devadatta returns and rapes Yashodara, followed by her suicide. He becomes an implacable enemy of the Buddha and Buddhism, vowing to destroy the Buddha and his new religion.This film was a big-budget affair featuring most all of the stars of the Daiei studio. Machiko Kyo appears briefly as Nandabala, the milkmaid who gives a pail of milk to Gautama and is the first to proclaim him the Buddha.Other than the common subject, no relation to the manga, Buddha.

Buddha / int_470bff94	comment	Eats Babies: A woman named Yasha, a loving mother to eight children, also feeds herself by going out into her village, kidnapping babies, eating them, and throwing them in the river. (Tragically, Burger King was still 2500 years into the future.). The Buddha shows her the error of her ways by taking her baby. When she comes to him in a panic and demands the return of her child, Buddha says to her that she must love other babies as much as she loves her own. Thereafter, Yasha stops baby-eating.

A prince named Kanala is jumped on and nearly raped by his own mother, Queen Yashikara, who tells him that she's still young and horny and the king is no longer fulfilling her needs. After he rejects her, she takes a terrible revenge.

It's the life of the Buddha rather than a Roman Empire or Jesus movie, but the sweeping scope of grand history as enacted by a cast of thousands is the same.
