Mongol, a Ghengis film!
Saturday, June 21st, 2008
Temudgin, a young Mongol boy, endures years of poverty and torment before forming one of the most powerful empires in human history; as Genghis Khan, the leader extends the Mongol Empire from East Asia to Central Europe — creating a legacy that lasts for over 150 years.
Some say “Ghengis” means “precious warrior”, some say it means “spirit of light”. Either way, Sergei Bodrov’s Mongol is a great film about Ghengis Khan’s early life as a slave before going on to conquer half the world including Russia in 1206. The directing and acting was strong and the story very well written and always engaging. I especially like how they chose not to explain everything about his early life and much of the spiritual aspects of Mongolian beliefs.
