"[Aksi] hal Barat. Kami berpikir tentang pahlawan yang akan berperang, memberontak melawan pemerintah atau penindas, tetapi tindakan [dalam KUNDUN] adalah tindakan tanpa aksi atau apa yang tampaknya bukan tindakan. Itu konsep yang sulit untuk audiens Barat. . . . Kami ingin menunjukkan semacam tindakan moral, tindakan spiritual, tindakan emosional. Beberapa orang akan mengambilnya; beberapa tidak."

--- Martin Scorsese

Versi Bahasa Inggris

[Action's] a Western thing. We think of the hero going into battle, rebelling against a government or an oppressor, but [in KUNDUN] action is nonaction or what appears to be nonaction. That's a hard concept for Western audiences. . . . We wanted to show a kind of moral action, a spiritual action, an emotional action. Some people will pick up on it; some won't.
