Depictions Of Gautama Buddha In Film
The life of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, has been the subject of several films. History The first known film about the life of Buddha was ''Buddhadev'' (English title: ''Lord Buddha'') which was produced by the well-known Indian filmmaker Dadasaheb Phalke (1870–1944) in 1923. Two years later, another important Buddha film was released, ''The Light of Asia'' (Hindi title: ''Prem Sanyas''). This movie was made by the German filmmaker Franz Osten (1875–1956). Himansu Rai (1892–1940) played the Buddha. Its title suggests that the script was based on the book ''The Light of Asia'' composed by the British poet Sir Edwin Arnold, which was issued by the Theosophical Society in 1891. In fact, its contents deviate deliberately from Arnold's book. The film was a greater success in Europe than in India. It gives a somewhat romantic picture of the life of Buddha. ''Buddhadev'' as well as ''The Light of Asia'' were silent films. On March 20, 1952, a Japanese feature film represent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
