Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A 1997 film starring Brad Pitt and David Thewlis and directed by Jean-Jacques Arnaud.Pitt stars as Heinrich Harrer, an Austrian mountain climber who travels to British India in 1939 with the intention of climbing the Nanga Parbat mountain in Kashmir. While in India, war breaks out, and Harrer and his climbing partner Peter Aufschnaiter are arrested by British forces and imprisoned near the Tibetan border. This begins their extended stay in Asia, which climaxes in 1944 when they escape to Tibet and take refuge in its capital, Lhasa. There, Harrer meets and befriends the young 14th Dalai Lama, and becomes one of his tutors. Harrer remains in Lhasa until the People's Republic of China annexes Tibet in 1950.

It Will Never Catch On: In a scene set in 1945, Harrer is told that "the war" is over. He is not surprised and asks if the Communists have given up. He is then told that "the war" he is being told about is not the Chinese Civil War, but "his" war, and that it is Germany who has surrendered. This elicits a bigger response from Harrer, as it means that he can go home now.

Historical Hero Upgrade: The movie downplays Heinrich Harrer's involvement in the Nazi Party. To be fair, he later described it as a youthful mistake and he never actually fought for the Nazis, having left Europe before the start of the war. Still, the image of him insisting that he's Austrian and only reluctantly taking the Nazi flag is a false one.

Blatant Lies: The Chinese claim that they're saving Tibet from foreign imperialists. In one scene, after hearing a radio broadcast along these lines, a bemused Tibetan asks just where all these imperialist foreigners are.
