Mongol

Posted by dave c on July 27, 2008 at 01:45:28:
THis is the first of a proposed three part look at the life of Genghis Khan and takrs us from his childhood to the moment he unites the Mongol nation.Even at 2 hours it jumps at times through some quite big time spans and some parts are a bit rushed past.
BUT... it is a BIG film.
Like many films set in Mongolia,there are a lot... A LOT... of scenes of riding endlessly across the most beautiful landscapes.
The photography is marvelous and the effects during battle scenes owe, in my opinion, quite something to graphic novels. In fact at one point it reminded me of 300.
The brutality of both the landscape and the life is brought home HARD.
I would have preferred more detail of certain parts and certainly about his wife and what she has to do to make things happen and to hold the family together, but these areas apart, I give this a BIG thumbs up.
And do see it on a big screen, just a TV won't probably be big enough.
