I watched Mongul last night...Mongol (2007)
Play Preview In 12th-century Asia, an orphaned young slave named Temudjin (Tadanobu Asano) escapes from his captors' clutches and begins a journey that will lead him to become one of the greatest conquerors the world has ever known. Honglei Sun and Ying Bai co-star in this Academy Award-nominated epic from writer-director Sergei Bodrov, the first in a trilogy of adventure films relating the life story of Gengis Khan.
The cinematography and landscaping was soooooooo perfect...so very realistic...
Originally known as Temudgin, the young Khan was the son of a powerful warrior and part of a loving family and regional clan. He's somewhat of a prodigy as well. He spots his bride, Borte, at the age of nine, suffers the loss of his father from poisoning, and later endures a period of imprisonment and enslavement. Borte may have been a political marriage, but there is great love between them, but she waits for him, and grows to become his greatest supporter and advisor. Their love story is sharply contrasted against the bloody and epic battles that Khan would launch to unite and modernize the Mongolian people before he turned his attention to the rest of the known world. Mongol is physically stunning, well acted, and cleverly constructed to appeal to those who enjoy in-depth storytelling, romance, and bloody epics all rolled into one. Try to see it on the big screen as well; it's a wonderful work of art.
The battle scenes were epic and gory...the show is done in a foriegn dialect ...pehaps Mongolion...and is captioned in English...this is a very good movie...I will watch it again before returning it.
It was a 2008 Academy Award®: Best Foreign Language Film nominee.
