Premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival, it\u2019s an uplifting look at two revolutionary forces for good, although its appeal will largely depend on viewers\u2019 tolerance for familiar history lessons and generic (if valid) views on contentment, anger and forgiveness.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by its subjects\u2019 prior bestseller \u201cThe Book of Joy,\u201d \u201cMission: Joy\u201d revolves around a sit-down between Tutu and the Dalai Lama, during which their coauthor Doug Abrams questions them about their philosophies regarding the concept of joy. Their insights turn out to be thoughtful but bland: Joy comes from within, rather than from materialistic items and ambitions; joy is beneficial for the mind, body and soul; joy is greatest when it\u2019s directed at others; and suffering \u2014 something both men known about, thanks to their respective political ordeals \u2014 can enhance one\u2019s appreciation of joy, so long as the proper look-on-the-bright-side perspective is assumed.<\/p>\n<p>These are all bedrock truths that few would dispute, and yet the broadness with which Tutu and the Dalai Lama discuss them \u2014 devoid of any mention of present-day global turmoil \u2014 has the effect of making them sound like platitudes. Fortunately, their natural, laughter-filled dynamic keeps things lively. Both of them recognizing the other as their \u201cmischievous spiritual brother,\u201d the men spend most of \u201cMission: Joy\u201d clasping hands, gazing lovingly into each other\u2019s eyes and cackling with delight at playful taunts. Tutu\u2019s daughter Mpho Tutu van Furth describes their energy as akin to that of an \u201ceight-year-old boy,\u201d and their ability to find pleasure in each other\u2019s company \u2014 even at their advanced age, with all the misery they\u2019ve endured and while discussing such weighty topics \u2014 is a testament to their conviction that joy is a fundamental aspect of a rich, rewarding life.<\/p>\n<p>Interspersed throughout the pair\u2019s interview are brief recaps of their backstories. Archival footage, as well as commentary from van Furth and the Dalai Lama\u2019s translator Thupten Jinpa Langri, tell the tales of the Dalai Lama\u2019s upbringing as the chosen one and exile from his native Tibet courtesy of communist China, and of Tutu\u2019s transformation from a teacher to a man of the cloth who helped lead the charge (alongside Nelson Mandela) against South African apartheid. Such primers are concise and functional, albeit far from in-depth or revelatory. More cursory still are vignettes with a couple of scientists who discuss how their research has proven the physical benefits of being joyful, as well as humans\u2019 ability to train themselves to achieve peaceful minds \u2014 asides that feel like unnecessary secular evidence to support these spiritual leaders\u2019 ideas.<\/p>\n<p>From an aesthetic standpoint, \u201cMission: Joy\u201d is about as straightforward as they come; only a few beautifully animated sequences (depicting the men\u2019s childhoods) energize the proficient, pedestrian action. The selling point of the entire affair is learning about, and basking in, the affection shared by Tutu and the Dalai Lama, and Psihoyos and Callahan don\u2019t skimp in that regard, their film constantly reveling in the duo\u2019s mutual respect and admiration for each other. Their palpable joy at being together makes them not only unique beacons of hope, but exemplars of the principles they espouse. Given the borderline-prosaic nature of their convo, however, it\u2019s easy to imagine one\u2019s mileage for such gushing chitchat varying.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
