I loved the movie The Lady because I celebrate Aung San Suu Kyi and I celebrate her bravery ever since I knew about her in high school. I felt very proud when later in college I discovered that the brave lady spent some time in Bhutan during her happier days along with her husband Michael Aris.

The movie ends with a quotation from Aung San Suu Kyi, that must have made difference in her struggle for freedom;
"Please Use Your Liberty to Promote Ours"This line kept repeating in my head for days and brought about a sense of guilt of being free and not having done anything for those who are struggling for freedom. Now that Burma has seen the light, I wish to take this line and use it on behalf of Tibetan people.
A very powerful post, Passu Sir.

Hello, I saw the movie yesterday with my husband. My husband is Bhutanese from Paro and I am European. We live now in Europe because Bhutan, despite we applied more than two years ago, refuses to marry and to allow me in with him and his family. The movie I saw yesterday is about fight for human rights and freedom. Don't you think is a human right for a Bhutanese to be free to marry whoever he loves and to live in his country with this person? Apprently, for Bhutanese government, is not like that and we are still suffering this abuse.
