As well as urging Ophelia to guard her virginity, he plants the idea that love is unworthy and that a lover is not to be trusted.

This is one example of the hypocrisy and double standard between the sexes which continues to this day. In contrast to Laertes, Polonius is much crueler to Ophelia. He extends no tenderness ...

Later in the film, the Dalai Lama says, "Wisdom and compassion will set ... that the communists invaded Tibet, waving their red flags, causing mass violence and injustice while usurping Tibet's freedom. Although Kundun accurately depicts history as it is seen by Tibet and viewed by the Western world it neglects to recognize that there is another perspective to the story that needs to be considered. The Chinese obviously did not view themselves as cruel oppressors. Rather, they saw themselves as quite the opposite ... the effects of ethnocentrism and instrument bias that initially, and sometimes permanently, blind us from seeing that our ideas and philosophies do not necessarily hold true all the time or in different parts of the world.
